Country vs. Hip Hop

Your choice. Which one do you listen to most, and don't say both you have to pick one and stick with it. I truly think you can figure a person out by the type of music they listen and it's so easy to... okay maybe just for me, but seriuosly look at a person and guess at what genre of music they listen to I bet you'd guess it on the first try.Personally i loveeee the good ol' country tunes couldn't live without them. I was reading an article out of a magazine the other day and it said everyone listens to different genres of music depending on the situation and like to listen to it whether it be just 1 completely different genre or 4 different ones for example if your goin to a party you may listen to rap or if your out in the country drivin down a dirt road country's there right? So anyways next time your trying to figure out someone ask what type of music they like to listen to haha you might actually get somewhere with it.

Rachel louise Carson

Rachel Louise Carson was born May 27 1907 , in Spring dale Pennsylvania. She was an outstanding writer, ecologist and scientist. She graduated from college of women in 1929. She also received her MA in zoology in 1932 at the John Hopkins University. She was hired by the U.S. Bureau of fisheries to write scripts for a story called "Romance under the waters". In about 1936 Rachel was the first woman to pass the civil service test. She was then hired as a full time junior biologist by the Bureau of fisheries. After 15 yrs of being in this service she became the chief editor of publications for the American fish and wildlife services. In the 1940's Rachel continued to write books and at the time president Kennedy took a look at one of the books she had written and called for testing from the chemicals written in the book. Rachel Carson was then called the Mother of the Modern Environmental Movement.

Advertisements

Hockey games, local bowling Allies, the movie theatre's, walking down the street, golfing centres and even in our own school gymnasium. Can you guess what I'm talking about? Advertisements. They're everywhere no lie! Can you believe it though an advertisement in our own school. Telus mobility,more oh la la in your blah blah blah. the advertisement is for cell phones, I think it's a really good idea because where else is a big popular place that kids often carry cell phones around? I think this world is getting way way to commercialized, nothing is plain and simple anymore. Just recently i went down to the Caribbean and everything i seen there was sooooooo commercialized like one said "come here and try a nice refreshing cold Coors light cause you never know when you might need one

walking in this heat." Thinking about all this publicity for everything makes me so sad I think eventually the world is going to run out of money and food but there will still be advertisements around for like the last banana ha ha it's funny but it is also really sad. My question... do we really need advertisements in this world or would everything be able to sell on it's own without the media's help?

Girlfriend

Have you seen Avril lavignes latest music video for the song girlfriend? It's pretty catchy if i do say so myself and it's actually kind of weird to just because Im' use to seeing Avril Lavigne with punk clothes on.I still remember when she came out with that song complicated and all the little girls would idolize her and where her ties and skateboard with punk clothes. Now her newest version of music is almost more pop like than Britney Spears or Hilary Duff. Is the media only giving Avril this much attention because it's that kind of music? Or maybe i should refer back to my other post with the whole blonde scenario, because yes Avril lavigne does now have blonde hair with a bit of pink streaks in it. I mean I think I enjoyed Avrils music more when she was punk. She had a lot of fans and still more then enough media and paparazzi. The song kind of reminds me of chearleading because she repeats herself kind of like that "Hey Mickey" song. I don't know maybe it's just me that thinks that about Avril, and i don't have any less resepct for her and I don't think i ever will because she comes from my old hometown but i wonder if all musicians are eventually going to turn out like this and start singing pop music. I'm not saying that there's something wrong with pop music it's just that there should be a big variety of music, because there's a wide variety of different interests and people. My question...if you were in the music industry would you sing songs that are more your style or different genres of music because there's more money and media involved with it?

Survivor

Is any one watching survivor this season? Then you'll know that it should be called lifestyles of the rich and the famous. Actually maybe not that far but pretty darn close. The show is called survivor for a reason. They put 18 or so people on an island and see them live for about 2 months on their own no family members and no friends. No communication with them no pictures. They made them catch their own food,start their own fires and build their own shelters with no lumber to help them and no steak beside you when you Hungary and no furnace that you can crank up when your cold. You had to get use to the feeling that the woods is where you relieved yourself and the ocean became your bathtub. They split the teams up and each week do competitions the team that loses goes to tribal council. The team then votes off a teammate of their own. well that's how the last 8 or 9 seasons went. Until this season. This season one of the camps have everything going for them. They have a bed for them to sleep on with blankets and pillows even also a hammock and food, hunting gear and fishing gear to catch more food if they need it and a shelter to keep them from gettin wet during big storms. They also have a outhouse to use with toilet paper and a coffee machine. It sounds like to me anyone could survive that. To me it just seems tis year the survivors are getting spoiled. I thought they had this show to help people appreciate the finer things in life and not take things for granted. I wouldn't be surprised if this show's rating went down this season because it's not as exciting anymore as it is use to be people fending for themselves and fighting to stay alive (stay in the game). In my opinion i think they should either make the show better to view or get rid of it all together before it gets to bad and becomes a show related to desperate housewives and how can they survive the neighborhood gossip.

Brooks and Dunn

I love this group and their country tunes

I was raised off of Rural Route Three,

Out Past where the blacktop ends.

We'd walk to Church on Sunday mornings,

Race barefoot back to Johnson's fence.

That's where I first saw Mary,

On that roadside pickin' blackberries.

That summer I turned a corner in my soul,

Down that red dirt road.

It's where I drank my first beer.

It's where I found Jesus.

Where I wrecked my first car:

I tore it all to pieces.

I learned the path to Heaven

Is full of sinners an' believers.

Learned that happiness on earth,

Ain't just for high achievers.

I've learned; I come to know,

There's life at both ends,

Of that red dirt road.

Her Daddy didn't like me much,

In my shackled up GTO.

Oh, I'd sneak out in the middle of the night,

Throw rocks at her bedroom window.

We'd turn out the headlights,

Drive by the moonlight.

Talk about what the future might hold,

Down that red dirt road.

It's where I drank my first beer.

It's where I found Jesus.

Where I wrecked my first car:

I tore it all to pieces.

I learned the path to Heaven,

Is full of sinners an' believers.

Learned that happiness on earth,

Ain't just for high achievers.

I've learned; I come to know,

There's life at both ends,

Of that red dirt road.

I went out into the world,

An' I came back in.I lost Mary:

Oh, I got her back again.

An' drivin' home tonight

Feels like I've found a long-lost friend.

It's where I drank my first beer.

It's where I found Jesus.

Where I wrecked my first car:

I tore it all to pieces.

I learned the path to Heaven,

Is full of sinners an' believers.

Learned that happiness on earth,

Ain't just for high achievers.

I've learned; I come to know,

There's life at both ends,

Of that red dirt road.
