“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog #2
In Centerville, Ohio where I am from everyone is pretty big on football. I played football all four years there and I had some of the best times of my life with some of my closest friends. Centerville Stadium is one place where I can get away from everything and sit back and think about what all has happened on the field and how great of a place it is. When there's no one there, it's the most peaceful place I know. Especially on a hot summer day where one can see the heat pouring out of the turf on the field. However, when it's a fall Friday night the place gets electric and it truly is an experience.
