Let's Go Out!

Yes!! I know I misspelled RESTAURANT but I didn't have time to fix it. I am sure none of you are surprised. Anyway, let me know if you plan on coming to either of the events. And just so we are clear, the Saturday thing for the guys will be overnight!

Something More Did you happen to catch the Tom Brady interview on 60 Minutes this past Sunday? What a great example of humility and perspective that is so often lacking in our sports heros. As quarterback for the New England Patriots Tom Brady has won 3 Superbowls, has never lost a playoff game, and is 21-2 when the game is decided by 3 points or less. He was the 199th player selected overall and was only given a chance to play when Drew Bledsoe was creamed by Mo Lewis in a game against the Jets in 2001. Here is a quote from the interview that I really impressed me:

He [Brady] has turned down million-dollar endorsement deals because he didn't think they were right for him, and many of the ones he does, he shares with his teammates.

But with all Brady's fame and career accomplishments, Kroft was surprised to hear this from him: "Why do I have three Super Bowl rings and still think there's something greater out there for me? I mean, maybe a lot of people would say, 'Hey man, this is what is. ' I reached my goal, my dream, my life. Me, I think, 'God, it's got to be more than this. ' I mean this isn't, this can't be what it's all cracked up to be."

"What's the answer?" asks Kroft.

"I wish I knew. I wish I knew," Brady replies.

Let's say you are sitting in front of Tom Brady and he says this to you. What would be your response to him? posted by: J-Wild at: 11:07 AM -  0 comments

Who's Looking at You?
How much do people know about you on the internet, and who is looking at you online?

The truth is you don't know. But many of you have so much information about yourselves online that it would be easy for someone to seek you out and start obsessing over you.

Young people (that's you) are extremely attractive targets for online predators. One in five teens experience overt or agressive sexual advancements from people online (that's both guys and girls). I know many of you have a My Space account and a lot of you give out way too much personal information. Like what school you go to, how old you are, where you live, what your hobbies or interests are, and even pictures of yourself (sometimes in suggestive poses). From what I have seen a lot of teens who use "My Space" use it as a place to meet girls or guys and "hook up" either on-line or heaven forbid real life.

I am telling you the dangers are real. You must learn to protect yourself along with keeping your character. Here are some things that you should never give out when you are online:

1. School name or location.
2. Your first and last name.
3. Where you live.
4. What your "intimate" experiences have been.
5. What you would like your intimate experiences to be.
6. Your body type and dimensions.
7. Specifics on where you are going to be, what you will be doing, and with whom.
8. Your e-mail address
9. Phone number
10. Any information that could be used to look you up on an internet "people find" site.
11. Family names and issues your family might be dealing with.

Protect yourself and your integrity. Don't subject yourself to people sexually harassing you online, and don't make yourself and easy target. posted by: J-Wild at: 11:31 AM -  1 comments
