ahhh. my thoughts exactly. ive caught myself calling myspace ghetto. and have realized its a way for everyone i didnt really talk to in highschool to contact me. / i use it to talk to highschool kids i know... that sounds all sketcher./ i find most of the things she said interesting
- so what i got out of this... we need to make sure FRIDA kids join facebook not myspace... jk. :)

-i cannot wait to have these discussions with you this summer.

- im not sure what your up to this summer. but we have 3 FRIDA curriculums to rewrite. and i feel like your new class/cultural experiences/clashes at tufts will be insightful.

have a good safe weekend.

that article was pretty accurate. i noticed that a lot of my high school friends who stayed at home for college only use myspace. Although i disagree with the discription of them. Most aren't ghetto or a part of the working class. i think they stay on myspace because the people they are networking with are mostly from their high school.

i know what you mean. i'm not sure if i'd say they're "working class" because they definitely aren't in that income bracket. however i feel like the valley in general instills "working class" values and attitudes in everyone because it is ultimately a very poor area ( ... )

actually that clarified a lot.

are you familiar with the knapsack theory?

thetowndiner April 19 2008, 20:35:04 UTC

kinda, why?

firebane543 April 21 2008, 00:01:44 UTC

because facebook is replete with drunks playing ultimate Frisbee, duder.

interesting

and yeah i see myself as a working class latino in arlington and austin more than a middle class normal kid in mcallen
but i bet its a lot more for you being so far up north

whats the knapsack theory?
