Song I play.


One song i want to learn to play.

I have learned a lot of songs that I've been interested in playing for the drums, but of course i would also like to learn the guitar parts and bass parts of those songs to. So for the song that I want to learn all of the instruments it would be The Aftermath by Origin from their album Antithesis.. Origin is a technical death metal band and they are known for their blistering faster drums, guitar and bass. There are a lot of sweeping in this song for both the guitars and bass as well as long double bass parts. I know I can't get vocals down but I know i could get the guitars and bass. For the drums I have developed enough speed and endurance for my hands to keep up with the drums but for the double bass parts I still need some work. I only started using the technique that John Longstreth uses about a month ago and can only reach the 240 bpm mark. Back when I use to do single strokes I could only reach 230. To get the speed and endurance necessary to play The Aftermath, I have set up a training plan for a month. I practice rudiments with my feet, singles, doubles, paradiddles, and so on. I practice with a metronome most of the time and when I do I start at 200 bpm and go up by ten every minute or so. With the pearl eliminators it is quite hard for me to reach a tempo at 270 with my feet because of the slave pedal. The slave pedal in the drumming community is known to have the footboard lower than the master pedal and you need like an extra centimeter down stroke to get the note. When practice my drumming I focus more on my left foot than my right foot because of this problem with the slave pedal. For the guitar parts I need to do a lot of speed training and exercises. There are tons and tons of sweeping for this song and sweeping is one of the hardest things to do for guitar or bass. Which then leads me to have fretboard accuracy which will take time to develop. For the bass guitar. Mike Flores is just a monster in that song. He as well does the sweeping and he has really quick fingers using his index and middle finger. He can probably play notes with those two fingers faster than I can play with all four of my fingers. I need to do a lot of exercises as well do cope with the speed.

I like space

I think that there are many good thingsabout have the space organizations be run privately. The good things include more resources and more money and people for the job. A lot of rich business people are interested in this private space organization that they formally were not a part of due to the organization being government run. Because of the switch from government to private, the space organization has had an increase in the number of people currently contributing to the cause. This influx in people is good because it means that with these new people, new money has begun to spill into the organization. These new private organizations have allowed people that are not working for the government who are interested in space to start getting involved. Before, when the space program was limited to the government, only government associated highly qualified officials could even think about going into space. 
Today, this privatization has allowed common people who do not work for the government to start finding ways into space. Another exponential key factor that this new privatization has brought is new ideas about Mars. The moon has begun to bore these scientists. It is kind of a “been there, done that” kind of thing. People want something new, something exciting. Because of this, Mars has begun to become quite popular. It is in fact, one of the main projects that these private organizations have begun to work with.
One major issue of having this space program change from government to private and is the issue of two things. The first one being the problem that all this money and time is going to end up being used for weapons that will eventually get discovered by other nations that have the potential of threatening our own. The second one being that fact that all this money and effort should be going to people in need. What great is going into space really going to do for us in the long run? Some people might argue that this money should be going to people who could really use the money, people in need. These problems are the main issues of the space program becoming a private organization. Hopefully this change will bring new discoveries that are for the good of the people. 

bio


 My mid 40's was the time things in my life began to slow down. My music career finished after the band played the last shows on our farewell tour where we played the top 5 songs off of ever album. I remember all of our fans screaming and shouting out of saddness and joy that we were no longer continuing as a band and that they had the chance to see our last show. My wife would always tell me how shes not used to me staying for more than a week at home because of all the touring I did in the past, but now she seems to be getting use to it and she's happy that I'm home helping her with some house work and spending more time with the kids. It's been a tough week for me to adjust back to this regular life style without getting calls from the manager saying that there's a gig we have to play at. I now give private drum lessons every tuesday and saturday in my neighborehood.
While I was away on tour I left a house that was so plain and simple. When I came back after my tour my wife hired a renovations company to change the way the house looks. But it wasn't only the looks. She changed a lot of things. Now our room has a walk in closet. How cool is that! More space for my body to move in. Not only that she also change the kitchen. It is now bigger with a bigger refrigerator and a dish washer. No more dishes to be done but we have to clean the dish washer which is easier than the dishes themselves. We now have a swimming pool in our back yard. I think it is pretty neat. It has a slide and a dive board. What made me really impressed is that I now have my own room for all of my records and things I got from touring. All those records hanging on the wall, posters everywhere and my signature equipment.
My kids are in high school. They're pretty popular among everyone only because their dad is a rock star. I remember during the first month I was home my daughter told me that boys were afraid to ask her to a dance. From time to time my son would bring some friends home to jam some music in the music room. I haven't heard him play the drums in a while, the last time was when he was still in middle school. He has improved a lot. From the tempos to the beats he really reminds me of me. Even my wife told me that he wants to be a professional musician like I am and tour the world. I told him that if he wants to be good at the drums he needs to accept every form of music and learn from them. I'll admit, I wasn't like that when i started to play. I was so into only the metal genre but I had to open up and what do you know I ended up being popular amongst all of the drumming communities. Learning many genres of music will shape your playing and make you be a better musician overall.

Case.


Should legal cases be televised?

Should legal cases be televised? I think that this question has two answers to it. Yes and no. it really depends on the situation and whose in it. If it is a private matter then I think that it shouldn't be and if it is public and may affect the community then it should.
In the situation of a private matter I think that it should not be televised. The person doesn't not want others to know of his situation and how his life or family relations is. If people knew his case in the court it could destroy his job and his reputation among other people. It is also possible that his situation could've been a set up. Keeping it private wont let the public get the wrong vision of the person. If it is just a common person and like for say an employee of a small shop the case should be private.
If situations are public like a shooting or some kind of protest then I think that the cases should be televised. Televising these cases will generate public awareness and keep the community in guard of whatever is going to happen. One example of a public televised case would be of a congressmen having some kind of corrupt under table things. This should come to the light of the people to tell them that the law makers are not the right people to be sitting in congress. People will have their voice out and want change the way laws are made. More sincere law making will be made for the better of the people and not for the better of the politicians to keep their seats. Protesters should have their voice to be heard throughout a nation. The case of having better working conditions should be of public notice to tell the people that some people are being treated badly in their work place and that reform of the work place should happen to protect people.

x-mas


Christmas is a holidy meaning Christ's mass and the birth of Jesus. It is also the day where kids believe that Santa Claus will fly with his reindeers and go through your chimney and put a gift under your tree or a piece of coal in your stockings. Christmas is also a great time for toy stores and such because they'll get a lot of money. This year will be my 17th christmas holiday and its been the same for the last 10 years where i stopped getting gifts and my family doesnt put up the christmas tree anymore. We just treat it as a regular day. When I was younger I used to get a lot of gifts like say the newest transformer toy or hot wheel tracks. I remember one time my uncle gave me a shoe box with all my old toys and pictures of me. I think I almost cried because I hated that gift but now when I look back I laugh about it because I realize it was actually pretty funny. When I was younger I believed in Santa Clause but the funny thing is that my house does not have a chimney. I wished for many things such as hot wheels super set things, gundam, games etc. I thought that I was a good boy and deserved all those things. So I went to sleep and had my eyes a little open to realize that my dad went into the room and placed a toy next to my dad, after that I didnt believe in Santa Clause anymore.
I don't have a favorite gift that I received for christmas but my ideal gift would be a five-string bass guitar and a bass amp. I already have a four stringed bass guitar but I'm getting bored with only four strings and I want to move up. I also want a bass amp because I want to record some covers using it. Since I've been playing drums for a while now and have been listening to drumless tracks and some songs, im getting tired playing through with those songs and I want to make an original song. Making an original song will improve my musical writing skills and may result in an album. In my head I come up with many rift ideas that I want to record but I cant because I dont have a bass amp!A new bass would also be nice because I want one with frets; the one I have used to have frets but my uncle took them out and now its fretless. I dont mind a fretless bass, it sounds cool and I like the feel of sliding but one with frets would be better for me. Also a five stringed bass would help me play those high notes easily without going up to the 20th fret and dropping down to like the 5th fret or something like that. So there you have it.

Stream of conciousness


Stream of conciousness.

When i came to Spain and i say people partying, i thought to myself. What the ****. All day. All night. All day. All night. Viva la fiest. Viva la noche. Viva los dj's. What the ****. Viva la fiest. Viva la noche. Viva los dj's. Johnny. La gente esta muy loca. What the ****. Once upon a time there was a write who had to write a stream of conciousness. He had no idea what to write so one day he went to school and took up his regular classes. In one particular class, math, he had to deal with numbers and equations. He liked math but at the same time he hated all the work he had to do. So he asked the teacher for help and the teacher helped him in his troubles. Now he is an engineer in German building some cool stuff. Then he wrote a stream of conciousness in his journal. He wrote about 10 pages worth of his thoughts for the day. After his death a professor took his journal and studied his mind. He was a neuroscientist and made some magnificant discoveries about the human brain. He wrote in his reports that the brain of the engineering guy was a super genious and could record everything he sees into his mind. Like picture memory. So he went to the dead mans carcass and drilled a hole into his head and extracted the cells from his brain and made them live again. He then engineered the cells to be able to live in his brain so he can have picture memory. He indeed got the picture memory ability but unfortunately he died at an early age. His legacy lives on today. Rip dude. Rip curl. Once upon a time there was a family that liked to have fun in the widerness. Once upon a time a group of friends went out camping in the woods of california. There were 5 people. One couple 2 guys and 1 girl. They were out for a few hours and settled camp. At night one of the girls went out to go pee and when she came back she saw a tall figure with the face of a mosquito. She was terrified and fainted. The next morning they were talking about what happened last night and one the girls that was sleeping said that she wasnt sleeping but new that something was there and in her mind she was telling herself not to open he eyes. Same as the other guys they knew that something was there but they didnt want to see it. After they were talking about what happened that night they left the forest and never came back to that place again. I heard this story from my brother who had a friend that had a friend that was in that group. I searched all over the internet searching for a tall mosquito face figure but couldn't find anything. He told me that because I mentioned to him about slenderman. So yesterday on november 12, 2012 cryptopsy released their new 2 cd comilation included four never released songs. They release Bodon one of them and I was listening to it all day today and I have to say that it is amazing. The mix is quite different than their album Cryptopsy but man it was brutal. The drums were as always crazy and Youri's backing vocals never cease to impress me. There a short bass solo and Matt's voice is amazing. I went to Japan for the Loud Park 12 event and I say Naglfar, 1349, Children of Bodom, Slayer, In Flames, and Cryptopsy. I primarily went there only to see cryptopsy. It was a crazy experience especially since it was my first ever concert and featuring only heavy metal music. I was just going nuts. Headbanging all day the next day i had a sour neck and my arms were dead. I also lost my voice. Man Cryptopsy were amazing. Too bad I didnt get to see Jon but Youri was there. Flo did a drum solo and he did his hyperblast and he just went faster and faster after every cheer of the crowd. I was one of the only people that wasn't japanese and could pronounce the band name and the members. Saitama Super Arena can carry about 35,000 people and at the festival there were about 25,000 – 30,000 people. You should have seen Slayer. EVERYONE was there. I dont really dig slayers music but nonetheless they were amazing. Haha i really enjoyed their songs Raining Blood and Angel of death.The next day after the concert i went to a drumshop and Flo apparently was doing a drum workshop there featuring the Pearl Demon Chain drive. There were about 100 people in the shop but man it was amazing again. He was explaing foot techniques and did a few Q&A. After the clinic I waited outside for probably 1 or 2 hours under the rain waiting for Flo to come out of the shop. I saw him come out and was nervous. My body was shaking and i didnt know what to do till these two japanese people went up to him and asked for a photo. After that I did the same thing and a a little conversation with him aswell as a photo. From that point on i was ready to die and rest in peace. So far I only have around 900 words out of 1200 words. I really dont know what to write about next but I will try to get some Ideas. I just yawned not because I am tired but rather because I dont know what else to write. Hmmmmmmm. Let me think. OH I know what to write about. Ill write about my day as of today. So i went to bed last night at around 12 o clock. I woke up smelling bad from the restaurant i went to last night and took a shower. Even after the shower my hair still had the smell of the restaurant. After I showered I ate breakfast. Cereal and milk. Then i took my vitamins. Then my dad dropped me to school. I went to my classes as usual. My pecs are sour because I did one hundred push ups yesterday. I went to guam this weekend and came back on sunday when i left on friday afternoon. I went to lonestar and ate steak, cooked rare, wrapped in bacon. It was delicious. I also had baked potato full on and ordered an appatizer of cheese protato sticks. It was delicious and very fattening. Pretty much I only go to lonestar because of the bread and butter. The bread and butter is really good and very soft and hot. I like the bread and butter. So right now I only need 60 more words. Do i have more to write? Absolutely! It is 2:34 right now and Im losing ideas for my stream of conciousness. I had club hoggy for lunch today and it was bad. I dont like the lunch that the school system provides in the Isand of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. Saipan is a hot place so is guam. So that concludes my stream of conciousness. Have a nice day everybody that reads my post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Villain


The worst villain

All if not most superhero movies have villains, whether it would be one or multiple villains in a group. I've watched a few movies like Batman, Spiderman, Superman, The Green Lanturn, Fantastic Four and Transformers. I think the best known villain out of all the movies that I have listed is the Joker in Batman. The second best known would be Megatron in Transformers, Optimus Primes arch nemesis. The other listed movies have more than one villain and in the sequals introduced new villains.
The Joker in batman is known for his clown-like face paint and his thing where he would draw a joker card or some sort and show it with that serious face. His famous saying if not a quote is “Why so serious?” The last Batman movie that I watched was Batman: Returns. I did not understand the movie at all. It had a dark theme which i think all batman movies have. I remember seeing that the Joker planted a bomb or some sort and blew up a hospital. There was a scene where he was walking while wearing nurse clothes. I dont know a whole bunch about the Joker except that he's this guy that Batman really wants to kill and hes' got a lot of tricks up his sleeves.
Megatron is another villain that stars in Transformers. He is Optimus Primes arch nemesis and is hungry with power. Transformers are robots that can talk and its weird how they have blood when they get stabbed or have their heads taken off by blades of being shot by lasers or missiles. In the first transformers movie, the main characters great grandfather accidently discovered megatron who was on a mission to find the cube that contains a lot of power. He accidently touched something and Megatron became awake. Megatron has killed a few autobots and brutally injured Optimus Prime in the second movie. In the first movie Megatron in the end was dumped into the ocean wear fish and coral grew on him until in the second movie In the second movie a group of decepticons went down into the ocean, killed a bunch or sailors and got Megatron back alive and flew into space to some planet. Optimus prime kicked his arse again with his cool upgrades from jetfire and Megatron ran away. In the third movie Megatron kills sentinal and then gets killed by optimus prime. I think that Megatron is a bad villain is because he was hungry with power and wanted to take over the earth and kill all the humans. In the third movie he hated sentinal because he was the leader over the people and Megtron wanted that power so thats why he killed him but unfortunately he was killed by Optimus Prime.

Possession


My Greatest possession.

Since this has to be a material item that is my greatest possession, if not then it would've been my family because they are irriplaceable and they're the best things that i have in life.(well in my case God would be number one).
My greatest material possession would either be my drumset (mentioned multiple times in my other posts) or my ZuneHD music player. I'll start off with why my drumset is one of my greatest possessions. First off all I love music. Music is my life... haha a lot of people would say the same thing but to me it really is. It's like my second language. So back to the drums... I love playing the drums. I've been playing for about 5 years now as of this day and will always continue to play. The drumset is an endless instrument with endless possibilities. You can tune the toms to notes played on the piano. There are some guys that would take their ride cymbal or whatever cymbal it is and leave it out for weeks and months for it to be rained on etc to get that particular sound they are looking for. I have yet to do this when I have the money. When I play the drums I can fully express what emotion I want out, whether it's anger, joy, sadness, fustration, or even excitement. I started out with a small 4 piece drumset; You know the kind with one rack tom, floor tom, snare and bass drum with 4 cymbals: hi-hat, ride and two crashes. I first started using a single pedal. I remember that every month or so I would add something the drumset and create something new. At one point in my playing I had a rack cage setup. It was the biggest drumset configuration I have ever done in the 5 years of my playing. I took an electronic kit rack and connected it ontop of my gibraltar rack. I put the electronic cymbals on the top rack and the accoustic on the gibraltar. I only had this for like a week or so because i found it to be a useless configuration because theres just so much unecessary things on it. So now im sticking to a 9 piece drumset: 3 rack toms and 2 floor toms, 2 snare, one main and one auxilary and two bass drums. I recently bought a Pearl Eliminator Powershifter double pedal and i love it. The only downside with that pedal is that the slave pedal lags and it takes a lot of practice to get use to it. Overall its a very versatile pedal.
My other greatest possession is my ZuneHD. My first music player was the 1st generation ipod touch but that broke because i opened it. My ZuneHD saves me from my boredom because I have all the music I like in there and i would listen to it for hours. Even though it doesnt have a lot of apps like the Apple Ipod, it focuses more on multimedia applications. The sound quality is much better and the battery life is long. I've had it for about 3 years now and it still like-new.  

Saipan Economy


Saipan's Economy

Ever since saipan's government came into existence, the economy has been going down hill ever since. Except for the years before 1994, the economy was doing pretty well and they did not have a deficit. After 1994, the Saipan has been owing more money every year and in 2011 they owed about 350 million dollars. There have been a number of stupid governers of Saipan. I remember hearing that one of them bailed out a lady that was in jail for sex trade to be his personal massager. The other day junior and senior students from three different schools met together and sat in a place where this man named Tony Babauta spoke to us about the saipan economy in terms of finance and budget. It took me a while to understand what he was saying but i later got it. In 2009 the variance was about 6 million dollars. In 2010 the variance was about 2 million dollars. In 2011 saipan earned 6 million dollars. So if the government can keep earning 6 million dollars every year then they'll be able to pay back everything in probably 45 years. That is actually too long of a recovery, they need to take more drastic measures and change the elected officials to people that actually care about the economy and not for personal things. The Saipan government pays more to their elected officials than the United States. One of the spokesman showed us a pie chart on the money that is being used on different departments they use about 45% of that money for education which i think is good. There were also a lot of other departments that were shown and the spokesman suggested that the government should take some points off of some and put them under others that may need more money.
Because of all of this financial crisis, our hospital and power supplier are on the brink of bankruptcy. The hospital here is limiting the use of air conditioning making it hot inside which is a very bad thing because hospitals need to be cold in order to keep germs away and since it is hot it is very unhealthy for the patience that are in the hospital. There is also a shortage of nurses and doctors because they either left the island or were laid off. As for the CUC, our power supplier, they get grants to by oil but the government is I think splitting the grants for the hospital so they could pay off their bills. So CUC wont have the money to buy oil to generate power for Saipan which causes tourism to just plunder down in numbers.
I think that the government should invest money on newable energy. The investment will cost a lot of money but in the long run it'll save a lot. Wind and solar energy should be in consideration because Saipan has a lot of sunlight and has a fair amount of wind.

Scary movie


The scariest movie i watched

The scariet movie that I watched was Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings. I watched that movie on saturday night October 13, 2012 at a friends birthday party. There were a good deal of highschoolers there watching it. When the movie first started like the first five minutes I was eating with a couple of guys at the dinner table while the rest were around the television. I have on my plate red rice, fried chicken, coleslaw, a biscuit, and some beef meat type thing. The food was really good and i loved eating the skin of the fried chiken. During the first two minutes it should deformed human experiment people getting out of their cellar and going on a rampage along with others. I was just watching the movie while my food was getting cold. The three deformed brothers took barbed wire and hung the doctor on all four limbs pulling it. He was then killed. The blood didnt look real at all. In another scene in the hospital they electricuted a lady while she was on her bed. That part I was just like wahhhh. One thing about scary movies that makes them all the same is that they all have pretty girls and stupid people who always die. In this movie it showed just that. The group of people that stayed in the hospital over night had the three brothers trapped and they poured gasoline all over their cell. One the girls decided not to burn them and left one of the guys to keep watch of the cellar. Before that the three brothers were eating one of the guys alive making fondue. Discusting. I was just staring at this part like yuck. Unfortunately for the guy that fell asleep while keeping watching of the cellar had his tongue cut by the three brothers and was stabbed by the surviving members in the group because they thought he was one of them. While i was watching the movie of course i left my guard down. Some people took a woopy cushion and it blew next to my face. I was so scared by that that i jumped and covered my face with my hands and everyone was laughing. I wasn't they only one that they did this to me they did it to other people aswell. Anyways, while the surviving four girls found a hole to escape out of the hospital one didnt make it and was killed by some huge drill. With they were outside they were being chased by the three brothers on snowmobiles. One of the girls was caught under one and was killed. The remaining two girls mananged to fend off two of the brothers and escaped. In the end their heads went through barbed wire and they were killed. The movie ends with one the of surviving brother getting their body and head onto the truck and left back to the hospital. I came back home at around 12 at night and couldn't sleep so i watched funny stuff for 3 hours and left the television on and finally went to sleep.

Wednesday


Wednesday is the middle day between tuesday and thursday. Both of those days start with a T. It is the middle day of the week two. The feelings for wednesdays are different than the feelings in mondays and fridays. I don't like the feelings of mondays because it is after Sunday and on mondays you go to school starting your week. Then tuesdays come in which is like 2/5 the way towards the weekend. Then there is wednesday. The middle of the week which tells you that you only have 2 more days till the weekend. Wednesday are also like the last day of volleyball practice for the week; friday practices are only sometimes. And volleyball games are tuedays and thurdays. Johnny, La Gente Esta Muy Loca. Double U. Tee. Ef.! Wednesday Thursday and Friday. I always wondered why wednesday. Do people wed on that day? And Nes is game character. So is it that Wednesdays are Nes's day? Not sure if it is or isnt. Monday Represents the past and Friday represents the future and wednesday is the present. It is gift from the gods above. Take wednesday as a special day to reflect what you did on monday and tuesday and use that day to plan for the future os thursday and Friday. Wednesday is day of hope. If you did bad in school on monday and tuesday, remember that Wednesday is the middle point and you have a chance to redeme yourself on Thursday and Friday. Life isnt about whats left or right but in the middle. Thats what wednesday is, the middle. You are not bias but your accept everything else that comes are you in life. Like for example if life gives you a watermelon what do you do? You dont throw it away or eat it like you would do to water and melons. You would eat it as a watermelon. Life is full of suprises and we cant experience all of that. So wednesday is the day you find equalibrium of your inner soul and humanity. Wednesday is peak of a mountain. Once you get up theres nothing to do. Walking up the mountain is like monday and tuesday and walking down the mountain is thursday to friday. Do you want to know how to say wednesday if your in monday. Its Overmorrow. This year October 2012, halloween was on wednesday. Another name for wednesday is called Hump Day, because of it's location in the middle of the week, and by the time Wednesday is done, the week is on a down hill roll. In the adams family the daughter is names wednesday. If you realize in the days of the week, it goes monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. There are two T's and two S's and one M, one F, and one W. Wednesday is a chill day.
