Conversations: Cyber Dating

We all know that with the advent of technology, a lot of people seem to find love on the Internet. You got that right, the Internet. Sure, we've heard a lot of "happily ever afters" about online dating but I have noticed that we tend to block out the evil aspect of it. I know, I know, I'm bursting your bubble, but hey, these are the facts. A lot of people lie to you in person, right? How much more on the Internet where you can be anything you want to be? And I mean anything.
I used to watch a MSNBC show To Catch a Predator and the facts are horrifying! To Catch a Predator is a hidden camera investigation where the group pretends to be a teen, either male or female, and try see if there would be predators who would fall victim to this ruse and expose themselves. A lot of men actually showed up at the "meet up" house. Creepy, if you ask me.
At this point, kids and teens are the usual victims. Check out all the social sites out there, like MySpace, Friendster, and Multiply, for example. There is a lot of potential here for the predators.

Fire at Universal Studios Backlot!

Wow! I just saw this on CNN a few minutes ago! I hurriedly checked the internet for more info because hubby is watching Billiards on Star Sports (he's pretty much not interested by this news). He's not interested, but I am! I used to live only 15 minutes away! Plus, I'm leaving on Tuesday for LA so my Universal Studios visit might be affected!

Ahh so much with the melodrama! It says on CNN.com that the Universal Studios Theme Park will be open on Sunday (it's still Sunday in that part of the world) but the studio tour will be affected. It was also reported that the fire started around 4:45 AM PT due to some explosion at the amusement park. A ride called the "Cyclone" was also affected. Aw, and I haven't been on it yet! Well, so much for the drama. Need to get some beauty sleep!

'Nyt!
