Blog Creeps

I actually really enjoyed this blog post by Ileana, because it is such a true post! There are just so many negative people out there that just don't at the funny pleasant side of things and therefore they are always grouchy! The woman in Ileana's post was probably around her mid twenties, and she obnoxiously states out loud that the music was "disgusting"... The only person that is digusting was herself! It blows my mind how some people can be so rude, just a huge pet peeve of mine.

I really like to travel, and if i was rich and had all the time in the world.. I would go country hopping rather than to stay content in one city. I've been to tons of places in my life, my parents spoiled me. We would usually go to multiple places in one trip. I've been to Los Angeles when I was just a baby so I don't  really remember it. Since then, I've been to countless road trips around Canada and the Minnesota Area. I've been to florida for a cruise where we visited many places in the Carribean. I went to Vietnam and Hong Kong to visit family when i was 10 and recently when I was in grade 10, we had a big group (10 people) go on a 21 day tour of China. So i've also visited the massive city's of, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong for the second time in my life.. I can tell you that I think Hong Kong is the most beautiful city i have ever been too. Definitely a recommendation, and if i ever had a chance to live there.. I would pounce on that in heartbeat.

DAILY TUNE DISCOVERY #3

This song is by far my favorite song in the entire world. It's a song that will never get old for me and will never get old for fans of electronic house music. This song isn't necessarily a discovery as it is kind of a older song. The melody is iconic, very recognizable  mainly because of the rip off of this song that Flo-Rida did not too long ago. My volleyball team plays this song as the warm up song, The high school hockey team claimed it to be their anthem in the change room right before they head on the ice and I heard this song during the warm up of the only jets game ive ever been too.  This song will get people dancing in any occasion or at least head bobbing to the beat. Listen to the song and tell me you didn't do either or. It is just such a uplifting song that can bring my mood up any time of the day.

A Swedish house music DJ, took vocals of a very old Etta James song and created a very catchy tune. It is by the artist: AVICII and the song is called LEVELS.

Here is a link to the song where it can be streamed..

Writing Reflection: Newspaper Blackout Edition

I found the newspaper blackout assignment to be a little difficult. After reading some real blackout poetry, I thought this assignment was going to be super easy and that I was going to nail it with a masterpiece. I was wrong... It was tougher than I thought. The difficult part was creating something that actually had some sort of meaning to the poem. The hardest part was to create something called a "poem" These difficulties haunted me so I took a alternative route of the assignment. I recreated the story that was given to me. I based my poetry with the topic of  the "Winnipeg Jets" I took articles and blacked them out and created a mini story of something totally false in the NHL world. One story stating "Zach Bogosian" being on the opposite team and scoring a goal on his former teammate "Blake Wheeler" the apparent goalie for the Winnipeg Jets. I thought it was a clever black out "poem" others might not. It was a tough assignment but a fun one at least.
