Week of June 12th

Attending the film festival was really fun, I enjoyed watching every period's films. The majority made me laugh such as "Too Slick Too Soon and "Death of a Paisa". I also thought the documentary about global warming that was based off on Al Gore's documentary film, "An Inconvenient Truth" it brought a lot of life of today's weather issues. I hope to see these films on our after school film festival, I think people would enjoy them very much.

Week of April 25th

Throughout this week my partner Kailey and I thought of a song to make a music video of. We then tried to come up with scenes and shots for the video, but the plot would be too hard for the song.

What Music Means to Me

Music is pretty much everything. I listen to various genres that correspond to my mood or how I'm feeling. I listen to heavy metal, pop music, r&b, 80's electronic music, soul, rock, post hardcore, to pop punk. When I'm listening to music I can go from Mariah Carey to Earth Wind and Fire to Rage Against the Machine to All Time Low to Zedd to New Order and end off with Ja Rule. I am a really big fan of New Order and Depeche Mode I enjoy listening to their music when I am walking or by myself. Those bands are what I heard a lot during my childhood. When I'm in a really happy mood I tend to listen to Earth Wind and Fire because their songs seem like it's about having a good time. Music can apply to my any mood and I'm glad I can easily access it on my phone. Music makes everything better in life and makes dealing with life much more easy.

Problems and Struggles

One of the biggest struggles teenagers face is being accepted or liked. Many teens pretend to be certain things they aren't to impress others or to not be seen as and "outcast". There are many kids who are fine with who they are and flaunt it to the world which I think everyone should do.  Teens at this age struggle to be accepted by society and fear they won't be liked for who they really are. For some kids this may be a big burden on their shoulders to mask  what makes them happy. Encouraging kids who to be themselves isn't promoted as often as it should be. Teenagers should be comfortable being who they are and not constantly worry if they would be harassed or teased by it.

The Most Interesting Person in the World!

I can't think of anyone interesting that I know because I am a boring person. I think would be Angelina Jolie. I am not a big fan of her, but she seems like she has have different life experiences. She is married to Hollywood's most famous actor. She also comes from a very famous father. What I find most interesting about her is that she has adopted some of her children from different parts of the world. If I ever met her I would ask why she decided to adopt kids from different continents. Why not here in America?  Why not adopt all the kids from the same continent? I know Angelina was rebellious in her youth, I want to know how and why she turned into a loving mother and wife? Also I would like to ask her why it took her and Brad Pitt so long to get married.

My Anti Drug

My anti drug is eating and sleeping. I tend to do this very often. Sleeping is a way to relief stress. When I am sleeping I forget all the stress I have, even though I sometimes dream about what I am stressed about. I sometimes come up with solutions for my stress while dreaming. Eating is a nice thing to do. I like to try different kinds of food. Drinking something cold adds to my stress relief. Eating ice cream also does. If I eat and then sleep afterward I'd say I had a pretty stress free day.

An Inconvenient Truth

What I learned from the documentary An Inconvenient Truth was that we as society need to make  a drastic change in our environment quickly. If we continue with pollution the earth we know and love will become a hot planet. Millions of people will be misplaced due to sea level rising and taking over land. Maps of the world will have to be redrawn because the North Pole and Antarctica will disappear due to their glaciers melting. Many of the animals will go extinct. It is vital to take affirmative action and take care of our planet. There would be less oxygen in our planet left for us to breathe. Most of the drinking water resources will be gone. Many countries will become extremely hot while others will be flooded. Laws about pollution need to be passed to protect our environment.
