It Might Get Loud

Watching the movie It Might Get Loud was quite interesting! Because it compares the three different artist in more then just who's better. It talks about their childhoods, family's, life style growing up, and how they grew to love music! All three of them had different styles and ways they played the instrument. One of them was more of a punk rock musician, one was kind of bluesy, and the other was what I would think of as a true electrical guitarist style. The things they had in common growing up was they all loved what they did! They all had the passion to be great and the best at what they did!! I think it was interesting watching them all interact because they each brought there own little something something to the table. A littl but bit hear and their that one had and the other two didn't that they would share with each other! That was really interesting.

Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving Break is always a extremely fun time of the year! It's kind of like a appetizer for Christmas/Winter break! Usually I stay around at home for the holidays but this Thanksgiving since my brother is up at the Air Force Academy playing basketball he does not have a Thanksgiving Break, so my family, my best friend, his mom, and my girlfriend are going to to Colorado Springs for the break to spend it up there. I am so excited to go up there because my brother is my best fiend!!! We are so close nothing can separate up! I would do anything for him and he would do anything for me. Although I am extremely excited to go up there I am also kind of nervous because I think it is extremely cold down here in Austin Texas so I can only imagine it is going to be absolutely freezing up there! But my excitement to see my brother and watch him play totally out ways the fact that I don't like the cold and it's going to be freezing!

Concerts

I personally have never been to a concert or live show. I have always listened to music that I have on my phone or iPod back in the day but I have never had the desire to go to a live performance. I think the reason why I have never really wanted to is because I do not like large crowds of people all bunched up together going crazy. When I am being pushed about and jumped against with people yelling and all that it just makes me want to hit someone!! It's different if I am playing in a sporting event and there are lots of people going crazy, I don't mind it because it's cool to hear them screaming and going crazy because I'm not apart about it. It's kind of for me if I am playing in the sporting event! I will say if I had to go to a performance I would choose a arena setting so I wouldn't be pushed all over and I'm not super close to the speakers! So it's more of a true spectator experience then just going crazy and being pushed and yelled right next to.

Mix Up

Today was a nice mix up! We listened to a lot of different music. Instead of just listening to like one album or one group of singers we listened to a large variety! We listen to some Beatles and even some rap that was a cover of a song we listened to. Not quite sure what the name of the rap song was but it had a great beat to it. Also we watched a video cause I think rap battles of history haha that was so funny it was between Picasso and some other guy but it was funny! I have heard that a really funny one is between Einstein vs. Steven Hawking! I ask my friend why it was so funny and he said because of Steven Hawkins voice! Because it sounds Like auto tune. I personally think it is funny because they are two geniuses trying to diss each other by rapping. If you haven't seen it I would strongly suggest it to you to watch.

Signing Day

Today I didn't not spend much time in the classroom because I left to go watch my friends and peers sign their letters of intent for college athletics. Anderson is not the best sports school but today we had six athlete sign. We had one swimmer/diver one horse back rider, two basketball players, and two volleyball players. Being a athlete it is cool to see my friends sign for colleges because sports is the only way I'm going to school. I hope that next year I will be signing my letter of intent. Although when I did get back we where listing to a Beatles album I only caught the end of it but it was a good album I actually enjoyed the few songs I got to listen to. It had a different attitude and sound to it then the previous albums by the Beatles we had listened too.

Beach Boys>Beattles

I personally after today listening to Pet Sounds enjoyed listening to the Beach Boys much much more then any of the other groups we have listened to this year like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. I actually have listened to a lot of the Beach Boys top hits prior to this class. I didn't realize it at the time but in elementary school P.E. Class my gym teacher would play the Beach Boys everyday! The great part about the Beach Boys to me his one how perfectly harmonized they are and two the instruments they use in the back ground and the large variety of instruments in very cool. When I listen to the Pet Songs album It puts me in a very relaxed mind set! Not necessarily because of the lyric used but just the soothing voice, the harmony, and the peaceful instruments.

Did he light the fire place or burn the house...

I really am not 100% sure about either one if he started the fire place or if he burnt the house down! But I personally would go with the idea that he burn the house down because he obviously didn't want her all night the night before and she even tried to get him drunk so he would sleep with her. But he didn't want to so he chose to sleep in the bath tub. I mean think about it she constantly tried to make the move the night before and when she tried to get him drunk it probably crossed the line so he figured when he woke up he would solve the problem or her bothering him and by burning the house down she would think he is crazy and leave him alone. It would have been a perfect time for him to do it also because she was a single independent woman that had went to work and non of her neighbors would have expected someone to be over at the house so he could just light it on fire and then leave!

Free Will vs. Destiny

Free will and destiny many people have different view and ideas apon the subject. I personally believe in free will over destiny because yes people say it was destined I happen this way but along the line you must make choices at some point in your life. Even people who believe in destiny say you have to choice the path to take which would go against destiny because if everything was based on destany then the choice you make is irrelevant. So I think free will is the way because some people are born with natural talent or the ablility to be very smart work hard and end up successful and yet some are born with the natural talent of ability to retain yet don't work hard still end up successful so free will allows you to make your own choices and if you are blessed with what you have and it works for you then it does! If it was destiny for you to go to hell or heaven then why do super religious people spend so much time trying to do everything "right and religious" when where you end up after life is already determined?
