			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First time I&#8217;ve ever gotten any type of highlights. I&#8217;ve never dyed my hair before. So this was definitely a learning experience. It took two separate tries in one day because my hair is so dark. Below is a &#8220;Before&#8221; and &#8220;After&#8221; shot.</p>
<p>Fact: My hair is so opaque, it eats all other colors. But it turned out great. I have brown/red tinted highlights. It&#8217;s subtle, but I think I like it for now. I might be a little more daring next time and go brighter. Who knows! <img src='http://www.ttlnguyen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><em>Come on skinny love just last the year<br />
Pour a little salt we were never here<br />
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my<br />
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer</em></p>
<p>I tell my love to wreck it all<br />
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall<br />
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my<br />
Right in the moment this order&#8217;s tall</p>
<p>And I told you to be patient<br />
And I told you to be fine<br />
And I told you to be balanced<br />
And I told you to be kind<br />
And in the morning I&#8217;ll be with you<br />
But it will be a different kind<br />
And I&#8217;ll be holding all the tickets<br />
And you&#8217;ll be owning all the fines</p>
<p>Come on skinny love, what happened here?<br />
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres<br />
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my<br />
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been completely obsessed with Skylar Grey recently. I love her original versions better than the radio edits.</p>
<p><em>Now there&#8217;s gravel in our voices<br />
Glasses shattered from the fight<br />
In this tug of war you always win<br />
Even when I&#8217;m right<br />
Cos you feed me fables from your head<br />
With violent words and empty threats<br />
And it&#8217;s sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied</p>
<p>Just gonna stand there and watch me burn<br />
Well that&#8217;s alright because I like the way it hurts<br />
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry<br />
Well that&#8217;s alright because I love the way you lie<br />
I love the way you lie</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1410" style="border: 4px solid black;" title="tumblr1" src="http://www.ttlnguyen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/tumblr1-310x207.jpg" alt="" width="310" height="207" />Read this <a href="http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2011/aug/30/students-embrace-rude-online-culture/" target="_blank">really interesting article from the San Jose Mercury Times</a> about students&#8217; social media presence and this idea of &#8220;online culture.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #008000;"><strong>THE ARTICLE POSES A FEW QUESTIONS:</strong></span></p>
<p>Does the Internet give students an environment to be completely different than they would be in real life? Is it a gateway for young people to be, as this article suggests, ruder and cruder?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #008000;"><strong>YES AND NO.</strong></span></p>
<p>For the most part,  I don&#8217;t think that social media or any Internet activity creates anything &#8220;evil.&#8221; I don&#8217;t think children or young people who exposed to the Internet turn &#8220;bad.&#8221; Of course, terrible things can be found online, but that doesn&#8217;t necessarily create bad behavior (this also applies to watching television or playing violent video games). For example, children who tend to bully others are going to do this in real life as well as online. This generally just depends on the opportunity and convenience.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #008000; text-decoration: underline;">AND THEN THERE ARE OTHERS</span></strong></span></p>
<p>If you are a writer/journalist, you will probably use the Internet to enhance your communication skills. For example, I am an active blogger, and I use social media all the time at work. This also applies to teachers who may use online resources in their courses or professionals who rely on online journals.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #008000;"><strong>IN CONCLUSION</strong></span></p>
<p>So, no, I don&#8217;t think people are different online than they are in real life. I mean, honestly, if you have some kind &#8220;act&#8221; online and pretend to be some sort of &#8220;character,&#8221; then this is clearly a self esteem issue. Your thoughts are going to remain the same, whether or not you act on this is up t you.</p>
<p>I believe the Internet is an extension of ourselves. Translation? Haters going to hate, no matter what medium. It just makes you a coward if you can&#8217;t say these things to someone&#8217;s face.</p>
