There are many good people in this world who have fallen victim to the social spell of consumerism. These people are active in the community; are good mothers and fathers who work and provide a good life for their chidren, and they go to church on every Sunday. They take trips once a year to get away from it all and relax in a state out of context where the rules they live by no longer apply. These good people are model citizens who symbolize the ideal life here in the United States. Of their top three things to do each day is to somehow buy goods along the way. LLc 98.2

"Television has progressively distinguished kid, teen, and, later, toddler and tween market segments through programming form, content, and style (Kenway and Bullen 2008), addressing each as distinctive from each other and from adults, encouraging certain activities, interests, and even subversive joys (Seiter 1993), while associating peer culture and youthful identity with messages of marketing, merchandising, and distinction (Kline 1993)." The individualization processes in the daily life of the average man has become so oriented toward television that to think about any other thing after a long day is to garner a feeling of being out of place and out of touch; feelings of being even more isolated than what television already provides. This is the Secondary Life. LLc 98.2

One of the more interesting things about living in a gambling town is the fact that the party really does never stop. If you are active in the social scene and people are making a little money here and a little money there, it is indeed possible to have the party last for days, weeks, even months on end. Characters in a gambling town are interesting in that a large proportion of them come from another spot in the country. They move to a gambling town looking for a constant state of something. Sometimes people need to be anonymous to try out different characterizations of themselves and a gambling town lends itself to that kind of thinking. In a gambling town there is always a constant state of something to look forward too. The people are usually friendly and overwhelmed with the possibilities. There is nothing like a gambling town to get lost in and find yourself within at the same time. LLc 98.2

Life can be sweet like butter chips slowly melting over the top of a fresh out of the oven blueberry muffin or sour like the power of a bad anything decorated quickly and sweetly. LLc 98.2

Keeping a will alive long enough to endure the long walk to freedom is what separates men. The difficult times mark changes in function and perception creating a sometimes separation away from those who cannot know those particular kinds of feelings. This is the alone time and it is valuable. LLc 98.2

Some people see themselves in the future and dislike very much what they see. So they isolate in some manifested frame where things make more sense in their head. Outside influences come into play and become to be a vital part of their electricity. The pull is more than just psychological, it is physiological as well. As the drive deepens and becomes more out of control a complete abandonment of all rationality is employed as the only way one can carry on with their everyday roleplay. Aging out of frame cannot be a good thing when one's happiness is on the line. LLc 98.2

A someone walks into 7-11. The nice individual behind the counter says, " Hi, will that be all?" the someone shifts his head up and down and says,"No!? This is texting in a sense; free from emotion and gesture in the global communicative processes of today's technologies.
Notice the non-linearities: minstrels, mail, telegraph, telephone, cellular technologies and texting. Now people can connect world-wide in all possible ways possible. Our reliance on communication technologies like texting, for example, allows us to establish and maintain long and short distance relationships. One of the things texting lacks is a real sense of true human communication to include gestures, movements, tone of voice, and a multitude of other ways in which to better determine exactly the message that is being conveyed. We are more than capital letters expressed through fingers and towers traceable.
To this day, if a face to face meeting revolving around communication and interaction and the exchange of ideas is not possible, a well crafted e-mail through the real mail layed down on good paper will most assuredly have all emotional and relevant information conveyed in a way that is easily understood and always appreciated. Even misspelled words can show a lot about someone. LLc 98.2
