technolagy
Technolagy has played a good part by giving us a new way of advertiseng things and keeping in touch with people and show new art forms such as movies and T.V or the newer twitter and facebook but it has also played a bad role takeing us out of noticing things around us making us pay attention to a 3 in screen texting somebody while ur sorounded by your friends your talking to this person on your phone soo theres never a point where your attintion is completely on your friends. it is also affecting the way people spell and talk now a days I catch my self when typing a paper just typing in u instead of the word you and things like that.

where is my favorite place in the northcountry
My favorite place in the north country would have to be the top of Tuckermans Ravine where the air is so thin and cold that its more refreshing then a glass of water...with feet of snow under you and the entire range of mountians in veiw.. at this momment you know you are the highest person east of the Rockies and nothing can touch you. I practicllay feel as if i can touch the clouds when im on top looking down at the boul as new hickers and skiers or snowboards come up to test the abbilites on one of the most thrilling decents iv ever done
