News in the Modern World: The Faster, The Better.

We leave in a world where everything has become fast-paced. We want our food, things we order from the Internet, and mail to be delivered in the shortest amount of time. The News is not an exception to this. People my age; seldom pick up a newspaper for getting their news. We primarily get our news from the Internet via our laptops or phones.
My primary medium for getting and reading my news is Google News. I am a huge Google fan. I believe that Google has set the standard for many of the web media we utilize these modern days. Google’s newest browser for example (Chrome), surpasses by far any other Internet browser out there at this moment. Google News interface is not the exception. Their interface is just superb. It’s also clear and user friendly. One of the main traits I like from Google News is that it allows you to sort the news by the topic you are interested in. Moreover, Google News will save you news preferences so you can always receive News from issues you are interested in.

My secondary source of news is Marca. This is a website with headquarters in Spain that specializes in sports with an extra emphasis in Soccer. As I mentioned in my first post I am a huge soccer fan. Therefore more of the news I am interested in is soccer News. I like this website for that matters because of the personal and characteristic taste they give to their news. By personal taste I mean their spiciness in their news coverage. They usually adorn their News with controversial headlines that are very effective for these types of news. Whether it is local, international or sports News, I always look for websites like Google News or Marca because they can deliver News just the way I like them.

My very first post in a blog!


Hello everyone! My name is Johann David Bonilla, but people just call me David. I am an international student from Honduras, Central America. I came to Southern Miss in 2012(I'm a Junior now) and I am majoring in Recording Industry Production. I'm also a violinist. 
I started studying the violin when I was 7 years old. Music has always been a central part of my life. I believe I have been blest with the gift of music because it has given me the opportunity to study in a different and more developed country, such as the U.S. Currently, I am an active member of USM's Symphony Orchestra
Even though music holds a very important place in my life, it is not “my everything.” I love sports: soccer in specific. I am very passionate about it. The first time I saw the Honduran national team qualify to the World Cup, I almost broke the TV where I was watching the game with other friends. And of course, I was in tears and yelling like crazy. LOL. Oh, and by the way, in that occasion Honduras qualified thanks to the U.S. beating Costa Rica. Americans never were so loved in Honduras as in that glorious day. 
So yes, I can be a conservative and calm person when it comes to classical music, but I can also be crazy, loud, and even “too passionate” when it comes to watch or play soccer games. That pretty much sums up who I am! Hope to hear more from you all in order to get to know each other better. Peace.
