Really Myspace?




So I logged onto my Myspace page this afternoon to find something rather interesting. After of course getting my eyes to look away from all the suedo porno ads, the latest being "maxim hotties videos", I noticed a link at the top of the page reading: "Amber Alert in your area". I clicked it and it gave a detailed description of the kidnapping.



I am still not quite sure what to think of this yet. Is it a brilliant idea because it is reaching thousands, if not millions of people, or somewhat of an oxymoron. The fact that Myspace has been the focus of debate on paedophiles and now they are posting "Amber Alerts"? Really?




I don't know if any of you out there have noticed this yet on your Myspace, but I am interested to see what you think of this phenomenon.

Just a little Welcome

I must preface this blog and say I am not sure how much time I will be blogging during October. I recently started a new job at Fresno Pacific as Admissions Counselor and October will be filled with travel, travel, travel!

With that in mind here we go!

I must start with the elephant in the blog right off and just say how much of a blessing my new job is! Not only am I working with great people at a great University, but I am liking what I am doing. I must say thanks to Luke and Jenn my dear friends that told me about the job opening, otherwise I probably would have never applied and still be working killing mosquitos!
I definately see the hand of God in getting this job. I was getting to a point where the summer was nearing the end and I still didn't have anything solid lined up. I had substitute teaching to fall back on (God bless all you subs!), but that is not something to build a career on. I actually had about 3 days to complete my application and resume before I left to the Dominican Republic for 2 weeks. I got it done with the help of my mother (thanks a ton) reading over it and making corrections. But the rest is history.

I will probably have many updates throughout my travel in LA for all those lovely college fairs! So come back soon for future updates.
