Everyone downloads music nowadays, wether it's off of limewire, itunes, or any other downloading system, it takes a long time, especially if you're downloading like a whole whack of music at once. Of course it takes less time then games, and applications. This semester I'm taking a computer programming class and our first unit is computer hardware and partitioning. In class i'm the only girl so I kind of just sit myself out of stuff to let all the guys just fiddle around with the old computer, anyways I heard about this system called Linux. Linux is just like windows, except it's free!! Yes that's right FREE!! Such a nice word!! FREE!!! So I decided to download Linux except I didn't know you had to burn it on a cd first and then partition you computer to work with the system you had before and linux, so three hours ago I started downloading it onto my CD and it is only at thirty-two percent!! And I thought music took a long time, now I know I'd rather of downloaded music then this system that might not even work. I don't know yet because I haven't tried to partition my computer. But hopefully all this waiting is worth it!!

What To Do??!!

When I was in elementary school, I had only one enemy, her name was Natalie. I got into high school and all that changed because me and her share laughs like every night. Anyways, it's her birthday on thursday and she's turning seventeen. She hasn't had a birthday party in a while so I decided to trow her a surprise birthday party. What a surprise it's going to be...the day I decided to organize it, I told her that I was throwing her one...oopsy my bad! I just can't keep that type of thing from her. So I invited some of her friends and such to come over, listen to music, play games, and celebrate Nat's birthday. Usually when I hangout with friends, I don't do much but I want this to be different, I even uninvited this one girl that always causes drama, because I don't want any pointless drama at the party. Back to what I was saying, I don't want it too be boring either, so I need to come up with some games and fast because all I have so far is football and soccer at the park, truth or dare, and a surprise game that's fun but I don't want anyone to know about it until the party. Still I don't have enough and I don't want people to get bored so if you know of any fun, hilarious, or even interesting games or activities that I could do, please let me know!!

Sad But True!!

Okay so right now, everyone at my school is raising money for the Terry Fox Foundation. Our school is especially serious about it this year because our vice-principal's three year old son had a brain tumor and it was cancerous. So everything that is talked about, revolves around cancer this, cancer that. Okay fine cancer is serious, I'm not saying it isn't but by now you'd think they have the cure for cancer. And it's not just that, cancer seems to be talked about a lot but what about all the other incurable diseases, such as for example, tuberculosis, that's pretty serious and scary. It's something in your lungs that's contagious and many people have it just don't know it quite yet until they start coughing up blood or sudden weight loss, etc. And like anyone can actually be transmitting the disease instead of being effected by it. But I think that higher status people need to start warning other people about all the diseases out there and illnesses because everyone should get checked and find out. So many people are dying from cancer, diseases, and even unknown illnesses. It's a scary thing to think that you might actually be starting to get seriously sick and you don't even know it. Like I always say it's better to know now then later on, when it's too late. But people dying, sicknesses, diseases, tumors, etc... are upsetting and changes lives. This is most definetely something that not even music could fix.!

Nothing Special But This Is What I Call Hanging Out!! Photo Essay!!

Let's Hang...Or Climb!

   I like to hang out with my friends as much as I can and I prefer to have sleepovers because then, we have more time to chill. One problem though, most of my good friends are guys. After quite some time of begging, my parents finally let me have guys sleepover at my house and the very first one was quite interesting. So one day my best friend Tanya comes over and we decide to go on the computer, on msn my very good friends Patrique and Mathew were on and Mathew doesn’t live too far away from me so we invited him over and so we convinced Pat to get his bum down to Mathew’s house so we can all hang out. So once they guys get to my place, we head to the park that’s like 2 houses away, and instead of taking the stairs up the park, they climb from the sides. They have to make things more difficult for themselves.

My Hips Are Stuck!

   At the park close to my house, there’s a jungle gym that contains a few slides and a bridge. Then right beside the jungle gym, there’s a tiny set of monkey bars, which Tanya loves to try to climb up onto but clearly fails. Except this time was hilarious because just before she went for this jump, we were talking about how she wants to get her hips pierced but it would most likely be painful. So when she goes and jumps, her hips get stuck on the bars which prevented her from moving any further.

Fail...!

   Every time I have people at my house, we always go to the park because it’s always fun to be outside, and considering there’s nothing really fun about the park, we always laugh when someone does something pathetic. Sometimes, that pathetic thing could be a major fail. Plus a major fail could be something like, let’s say after many attempts of getting up on the monkey bars, you fail getting off the monkey bars by falling on your back because your foot got stuck on the bars. So instead of staying at the park for any longer laughing our bums off because of Tanya’s fails, we go back to my place.

Yawn!...I've Seen This Movie Before!

   After such a long and gruesome walk from the park back to my place, so let’s see about twenty whole steps, we walk inside only to always, always go downstairs to my rec. room, which is dark purple room and has my computer, a TV, and a futon in it, so clearly not much to do. But somehow, we always manage to do something. Although usually it starts out pretty bumpy because we don’t really do anything, all we do is watch a movie and the movie is usually pretty boring so boring that the only person interested in the movie was Mathew because he’s the one that picked the movie out of my one thousand DVD’s. Although I’m not too certain even Mathew was interested in the movie.

Movie Is Too Boring So MSN It Is!

   Considering no one was really into the movie except for Mat, Patrique decided to just go on my computer without asking me. How rude right? It’s okay because I don’t really mind if they go on my computer. But of course, he has to go on stinking, annoying, and stunted msn! Of course it was pretty late at night, sort of; I don’t really remember the time; anyways because I was so bored I was trying to get him mad because it’s funny when I push his buttons. He didn’t get mad at me because he was out of it, and really into his conversation.

Human Cushion!

   The movie was taking forever to finish, but Mathew was still watching it, he never took his eyes off the TV, I think. Because Tanya and I were bored and Pat was on the computer, we were desperate to be entertained so once Pat left for the bathroom, Tanya stole his spot at the computer and signed him off msn. Of course Pat didn’t even care; he sat right on Tanya and signed himself back onto msn.


Ouch!...Your Butt Is Too Bony!

   Even though he was on msn, he was also pretty bored still. Considering he didn’t want to get off of Tanya, he decided to dig his nonexistent, bony butt into her legs which is was hilarious because she screeched so loud but also funnily because her voice had cracked. So after waiting so long for the movie to finish, it finally did.

Let's Sleep!

   Once the movie finished, everyone was so tired that Tanya and I went upstairs to the living room to sleep on my couch, while Pat and Mat got to sleep in the basement rec. room. Pat slept on the futon while Mat slept on the floor because according to him my floor is super comfy, I like to think otherwise. We went to bed around two o’clock in the morning.

Get Up!

   So at six o’clock in the morning, I woke up and couldn’t fall back asleep so I went downstairs, and got Mathew up first because it wasn’t very difficult but the biggest challenge wasn’t to wake Pat up, but instead it was to get his behind up and out of bed. Reason to get up also was the fact that my dad had prepared some pancakes. Too many pancakes to be exact! I was the only person who ate only one pancake because my dad forced all the other ones in their plates.

What The...Too Tired!

   After breakfast, we went back downstairs because Tanya and Mathew were still tired. Patrique was also tired but I wouldn’t let him go back to bed so he went on msn instead and he was so out of it that when I said his name he took a good five minutes before he would respond. Okay maybe five minutes is an exaggeration, but still he took a while.


We Need Music!

   After I kicked Pat off the computer because I found that once he started playing music on YouTube, it was getting annoying because it was too early in the morning for music. Pat of course thought different because he said fine to getting off the computer but dummy me, he went right to my stereo and turned on the CD player because he knew there were CDs in there. It’s okay though because I turned off the power bar so we just went outside and waited for everyone to leave.

Camp Fire Stealer!!

Okay so right now, I'm in the middle of cleaning the upstairs, and when I clean, only when I'm home alone, I like to listen to music. So I have my TV on Much More Music, and a song comes on that sounded familiar. Does anyone remember the old camp song Hole In The Bucket? Well to refresh your memory, the song goes like this:

♫♪"There's a hole in the bucket dear Liza, dear Liza!

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole!

Well, then, fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry!

Well, then, fix it dear Henry. Dear Henry, fix it!

With what shall I fix it dear Liza, dear Liza?

With what shall I fix it? Dear Liza, with what?..."♫♪

Well I surely remember it! And then on Much More Music, I was listening to the top ten music videos of this week and came to realize that number five is called Bucket by Canadian Idol Carly Rae Jepsen. And her song goes like this:

♫♪"There´s a hole in my bucket, Dear Liza, Dear Liza.

There´s a hole in my bucket, Dear Liza a hole..."♫♪

Of course the rest is different, but still who makes an actual song, out of a good camp song? So this girl, Carly Rae Jepsen uses an old camp song, and gets money for it. That's bogus! I don't think it's right, at all. Because I use to love singing this song at camp and such, when I was little. But then a person, Carly Rae Jepsen to be exact, goes and records the song, just changing a couple of paragraphs, and ends up getting into the top ten music videos!!! Like what is up with that! Maybe I should take a camp song, change some stuff, record it, make a video, and then make some good money!! But I would never actually do that because, I know it's wrong to steal someone else work!!!

Can't Get You Out Of My Head!!

Okay so I just got back not long ago from the movies, I went to see Gamer with a few of my good friends. The only thing is, my one friend and I, we weren't quite sure if we were going or not so when I found out that we were able to go, we left pretty early, not that we had the choice, but the thing is we told the guys that we weren't able to go so they wouldn't be expecting us. So when my friend and I were waiting outside the actual theatre room, we sat on the bench. One thing I hate about theatres, is that they play music all the time, okay well that's not really the problem. The real problem is that the music they pick is like old songs that you haven't heard in a while and once you hear them one single time, they get stuck in your head forever and you even start to sing them. Today, that's what happened to my friend and I, but like seriously all the songs that they were playing, got stuck in our heads, because after the movie, I was sort of singing them, but thankfully no one caught me.!!=P But honestly, it sort of aggravates me when I have songs stuck in my head and all I'm doing is singing it, and sometimes dancing to it.=S I don't like anywhere you go, they have music playing, and don't go and tell me that you never catch yourself singing the song that you heard not long ago, from the place you just went to. That's what I thought, it happens to the best of us!! Laugh out loud!! Jsut kiding but seriously it happens to so many people. I wonder if there is a scientifical type of explanation for that...who knows...well the scientist that has the explanation i suppose...whatever.

Pretty Sweet Deal!!

Okay so not long it was my sister and her boyfriends three year anniversary, and they went away to Niagara Falls. Rich, my sisters boyfriend, got my sister a ring and a purse and my sister got her boyfriend a classical guitar, whatever that is, and a recording session at his studio and tips and advice from him. The him though that I'm talking about is Dave Baksh, who use to be the lead guitarist for Sum 41. Amazing, I know!! You might be asking yourselves how my sister got this connection...Well my sister when she first started high school, she joined a musical theater group called Heart n' Soul. Heart n' Soul was formed in ajax and they sang songs and danced to raise money for local charities. Many young and old talented people jined the group and one of them, who happened to be just a year or two older then my sister. was Dave's little sister. And considering his little sister and my sister became friends, my sister got to meet Dave several times and then when she mentioned not that long ago, that it was her anniversary and that her boyfriend likes to play guitar, Dave told my sister that she should bring him down to his recording studio and that he should record a couple songs with the help and advice from Dave. So my sister decided to take him up on that offer and now my sister's boyfriend has a chance to learn a couple of tricks from what I think to be a great guitarist.

I`d Rather Music!!

I’m a big person on the fact that music is good to listen to when you want to work or do homework. For me it most definitely keeps me concentrated on my work and actually it makes me work faster, in fact. But yesterday in my French class, we had a supply teacher because are teacher has come back from vacation yet. Anyways my class is pretty small so you would think that it wouldn’t be hard to get the class to stop talking and to just work. Well think again, the supply gave us a text to read and some questions, simple, I know. Instead of working, the rest of the class kept on talking. That’s fine to talk in class; it doesn’t bother me at all. But they were making fun of the poor supply and this one guy was being super loud and I’ve known him since kindergarten so I’m quite use to his talking, but yesterday he was being so loud and saying the most inappropriate things that I just snapped and lost it on him, he got pretty shocked because everyone thinks I’m so good that I would never swear but because I was so pissed off, I swore and he was just like Oh my god! Then after that in math class I wouldn’t even really let him say one word without me saying stop. Why? Because he was annoying all day, until the bus ride home he had his music on and for once he didn’t say a word for the entire bus ride home and usually he’s even louder on the bus, but I think he knew I would snap at him again. I have to say I can’t stand not working and usually my music is loud but this guy was too darn annoying. And I have to say I sort of feel sorry because yesterday it was his birthday!!

Let It Go!!

This blog is quite random but still I think it’s pretty necessary. Lately, I’ve been reading many people’s blogs because well I quite frankly have no life and plus it’s for my English project. But anyways, I came across the fact that many people are talking about depression. Personally I have been depressed for a long time and like once I got help, I realized that getting help and talking to counselors and such is actually more stressful then keeping it bottled in. But then yet from experience, I know that keeping things bottled up inside for a pretty long time makes the stress and emotions take over and make you think terrible things, but when your friends and even teachers ask what’s wrong, you will eventually break down and just say it. But seriously its best if you find someone you can trust and just tell them what’s on your mind because many people suffering from depression tend to get so fed up with the stress that’s involved with it, that they start having suicidal thoughts. If you ever come close to those thoughts, talk to someone, it’s the least you can do. Even before you have those thoughts, if you’re ever start to get depressed, talk to someone, save yourself from those thoughts. And if you really hate talking then listen to some great music. Put your i-pod or Mp3 on shuffle and let the thoughts just melt away with the music =D

Jonas Brothers!!

Okay so today I was watching wizards of waverly place because my mom and sister actually like that show. Scary I know! Anyways before the show there was a music video that played and it was called Paranoid. Paranoid is sung by the Jonas Brothers. I personnaly despise the Jonas Brothers so after I saw this video I decided to put in the goole search bar for images "jonas brothers hate" and I found many pictures that were drawn all over but also some were inappropriate so I just decided to show the one that said that they sucked. I think they suck to but they seem to be making a whole lot of money for what I find to be doing nothing. They've had a couple of album releases, fine okay whatever, and they have their movie Camp rock. But seriously did they really have to go and get their own show about them being rockstars and still being able to go to school. Seriously that show is pathetic and pointless. I will admit that a year ago, I bought their CD that has the songs Lovebug, Video girl, and much others but I don't listen to it anymore. Why? because I realized that their music is very whinny. And like thier music might possibly last for a long time but I think that the band will start to split up once the oldest Jonas, Kevin will get married. Considering he is engaged now, oh and while watching MTV Live, I found out that he's getting married on new years eve, it won''t be long before the Jonas brothers are going to try to go their own ways and only come to realize that it won't work out. Although Joe Jonas might possibly be able to get into acting. But back to what I was saying before, the Jonas Brothers have talent, fine, but their style of singing sucks! I really don't see why people like them as much as they do, but then yet it may have something to do with the fact that none of them truly don't look that bad. Although many people say it's Joe and if not Nick but I find that the hotter one is Kevin. If you want to see their concert go right ahead. I personnally won't ever go and see one of their shows but hey, who am I to stop you from going, right? So if you go good for you and if you would never go anywhere near a Jonas brother concert then well actually good for you to. All I have to say though at this moment, I am proud to be a Jonas Brother hater! If you hate me for hating them then that's your opinion, and so to make my point all I want to say is that this is my opinion on the Jonas Brothers so if you hate it then cool, I don't care!

Sean Kingston!!

Remember a couple years back when everyone was singing “You’re way too beautiful girl. That’s why you and I would never work’. Well I do! When Sean Kingston came out with the song Beautiful Girl, I swear to the heavens on earth, I must have heard that song like a million times each day for a couple of months. But then after that song, Sean Kingston just kind of disappeared into the oblivion, until now, because he’s back with his new top hit Fire Burning. I find that Sean Kingston has only two hits because his other songs aren’t that great! Seriously they aren’t that great. But it won’t be long before Fire Burning, burns out. But for now I have to admit the song is pretty darn catchy and the dancing in the video is super repetitive. Because each time he sings “Fire burning, fire burning, on the dance floor. That little shawty’s fire burning on the dance floor.” they move the same way each and every time. Sean Kingston really gets me mad because his songs are so catchy that they get very annoying and last night on much more music, they showed their top 5 music videos of the week and Sean Kingston was number one and that right there is bologna! His song is so repetitive it’s not even funny. Honestly people say that they love this song but I don’t understand why because it is super annoying. Just wait until the next hit songs come then Sean Kingston and his Fire Burning will just poof and vanish! Can’t wait until then! But seriously if you want to go and see him in concert then that is up to you but me I know that is one concert I wouldn’t go and see. And thankfully he doesn’t seem to have any shows scheduled in Ontario, anytime soon. But seriously, I think that Sean Kingston is only going to ever have several, if not, then a couple one hit wonders. He’s half way there!

Three Days Grace!!

Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart and found a CD that I've been looking for a long time. The CD is titled One-X and it’s by Three Days Grace. I’ve always liked TDG but never knew how many good songs they had until last year, when I had to do a project in my music class on a band of my choice, now I had a hard time choosing, so I asked my friend and he told me to do it on Three Days Grace. So I decided then to do it on TDG and I fell in love with every single one of their songs! Ever since then, I’ve been searching for their CD One-X because it has the most of their better songs, so then while I was waiting for my mom to finish work I was browsing the CD section and found but one CD left so I grab it, of course it cost me twenty bucks, I’m still in love with it. Listening to the CD, I realized that my favorite song from them is Never Too Late. I really don’t know why, but the song kind of speaks to me. The song sends out the message that even being in a depressive state there is always time to change that. Not only that I think I can sort of relate to the song because just last year I went through a very difficult thing that made me very depressed and it was so bad that I was so stressed until a friend of mine and one of my teachers helped me out and got me the help I needed to be happy. Of course stuff is still going on that makes me depressed, I just think of that song and not just that I think of them and I realize the people that I’m hurting(like they talk about in their song Pain). So I guess that I just seem to really like Three Days Grace because I understand the songs and I feel the emotions that come with it. I would most definitely like to see Three Days Grace but this year is very hectic for me so I won’t really be able to see any shows. Unfortunately, Three Days Grace isn’t scheduled to have any shows, anytime soon. But if you ever get bored and have nothing to do, then just put on some Three Days Grace and listen to the message in all their songs, and you’ll love what you hear. I definitely do!!! But oh my goodness! I just found out that they release a new CD called Life Starts Now and it hits stores worldwide, Spetember 22th, 2009! I am definitely getting one!:D

Pink!!

Ever since I was little I adored the singer Pink! It started with her song "Get the party started" from her second album M!ssundaztood and continued until this very day with her new album Funhouse. Not too long ago her song "So what" was extremely popular and even I loved the song but stupid me, I never really knew if she was going to make another CD, until now. I was watching MTV Live one day and saw a new music video for her song "Funhouse" and right away I got attached to the song. And this morning on the bus I had my Mp3 on shuffle and I think I must have heard that song at least like five times. Pink I find it such a beautiful person, she always has been but I find she kind of went through stages where she didn't look as good as other times, but the way she looks now, I find she looks amazing. Her CD Funhouse and all it's songs were based on her breakup with her husband Carey Hart, although not long after she wrote the songs, she got back together with him, which I find is perfectly okay because she got one heck of a hit out of it. The album Funhouse, I find is her CD with the most hits. Because she currently has "Please don't leave me", "Funhouse", "So what", and "Sober". Although her other CD's had quite a few hits themselves, I think Funhouse had the most, but then again I could possibly be mistaken. But I have to say that right now, I am completely obssessed with the song "Funhouse". Why? Because it's so catchy and I adore the beat because it's so like, i don't know, upbeat and like woohoo ya! type deal. But the video for this song, I have to admit, kind of scares me because okay fine it "use to be a funhouse,but now it's full of evil clowns" whatever but they shouldn't of made those clowns so darn evil a.k.a scary looking. They literaly freak me out everytime I look at the music video because they look fake but like there is obviously people in them, and like half the time they don't even move which freaks me out even more, and like their yellow glowing eyes, what is up with that. Has anybody noticed how pretty and hot Pink looks in this video, like seriously she looks amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw her in this video. And like usually I hate short hair like that on girls but she now pulls it off amazingly! Seriously before it looked okay her short hair but the pink, then the black, and then the dirty color didn't look so great but now her bleach blonde hair looks amazing in a faux hawk. Her new album Funhouse is most definitely her best album yet because it's not so down throughout most of the CD but instead most of this CD is very upbeat and like anger relieving. It's so amazing! If I ever find out that Pink is coming on tour anywhere near here, I will most definitely be like the first one in line for her tickets. Pink is such and AMAZING singer! As Pink continues her Funhouse tour, she kicks off in Canada starting in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre,  September 30th. Tickets are on sale now at http://www.ticketmaster.ca/. Once again I will be missing out from what I expect to be an Amazing concert. But if you do happen to attend, hope you enjoy such an amazing singer.!

Marianas Trench!!

This morning, we started our blog projects in English class. I had no idea what I truly wanted to write about until I got home and started to do my math homework. Every time I do homework, I listen to music and when the song “All to myself” came on the idea of writing about music came to me. Considering it’s the song that gave me the idea, I decided to do my first blog post on the band Marianas Trench. Marianas Trench is a Canadian band from Vancouver. I first heard about the band while watching MTV Live one day, but I had actually heard the song “All to myself” before that in the car. When I first heard the song I thought it was good but I had also thought that it was a Jonas Brothers song. Gross I know, but then as soon as I saw the video on MTV Live, I fell in love with the band because I personally find the lead singer Josh Ramsay, to be very attractive. Although, at first, I found the video to be quite weird because it occurs in an office, and for a punk band, a video in an office looking like nerds, kind of seems a little off but near the end he ends up looking amazing ! So when I looked the band up on Google I found out that they had more songs that are also amazing such as “Cross my heart”, “Shake Tramp”, “Decided to break it”, and “Say anything”. But the only other music video I’ve seen from Marianas Trench is for “Cross my heart” and that music video is pretty interesting, because in the video they’re walking down streets following a girl. Although the thing I really like about that video is that Josh Ramsay looks hot! Honestly I saw the video “All to myself” for the first time and as soon as he became punk, my jaw just dropped.Also his tongue piercing is, I don't know why, but his tongue piercing is very hot on him, he looks ridiculously amazing on him. And like usually I don’t like guys with blue in their hair but he pulls it off. And out of the other people in the band he is the most gorgeous, unlike the guy with the orange color mini-afro. Now that guy pisses me off, because I find that he ruins the band. Okay maybe not ruin but I hate seeing him in the videos, because for a drummer, you see him quite a bit. Anyways, back to what I was saying about the band. Oh yes, Marianas Trench is most definitely an amazing band. Even the beat of their songs get you interested in listening to them and not so much the words but after a while the words seem to catch on and it’s just like oh my goodness, they are really good. But I most definitely give this band two thumbs up and if I had more thumbs then I would give then like twenty thumbs up but like I said I am only a human being so I only have two thumbs to give to Marianas Trench. And just a little reminder that Marianas Trench's second album Masterpiece Theater goes on tour this year and is appearing in Toronto on Saturday, October 10th, 2009 at the Sound Academy. Tickets are on sale now at http://www.livenation.com/edp/eventId/412327. It's going to be amazing but unfortunately I will not be attending this concert due to the fact that it's during thanksgiving weekend. It sucks, I know, considering their album Masterpiece Theater includes their songs "All to myself" and "Cross my heart".
