Modern Music: Are the People Actually Talented?

I will be discussing if today's pop and all that stuff has any real talent in it or if anybody can do it. Usually every song I hear that people are always talking about or love, they happen to just have sounds and the singing really isn't singing and it's probably been edited to make it sound good. Or most rap is pretty much like a poem with music and sounds but the person doesn't really sing, they are basically talking. The only talent you really need for this stuff is creativity. And you would have to have money for everything to be fixed up and all of the sounds made and stuff.

Video-Game addict Interview

Okay, so my nephew Jonny is addicted to video games, but he doesn't like to admit it. So, I thought that it would be interesting to interview him. He seemed to be offended when I asked him , but he was a good sport and let me tease him a little bit... Here's how it went.

Cassie Jay:
okay so do you consider yourself a video game addict.
Jonny: um... i do play video games but I'm not an addict. I'm really good at games though
Cassie Jay: good at what games?
Jonny: action games.
Cassie Jay: whats your favorite action game?
Jonny: red dead redemption.
Cassie Jay: why is that your favorite game?
Jonny: cause you can do alot of stuff in that game.
Cassie Jay: could you be more specific? like what kind of stuff?
Jonny: like going into different countries... crossing the border and stuff.
Cassie Jay: what your least favorite game?
Jonny:my least favorite game?

OH! halo. trust me, if you play your just not gonna get into it.
Cassie Jay: okay, well how often do you get grounded

Jonny: sometimes... but i don't care.
Cassie Jay: ha! don't lie i live with you... you freak out.
Jonny: NO! erase that... I don't freak out... what are you talking about?
Cassie Jay: hmmm... yes you do.
Jonny: oh no i don't.

Cassie Jay: think what that your in denial or that your an addict?
Jonny: I'm none of that i just like playing video games.
( he smiles widely)
Cassie Jay: okay, Jonny ,okay.

Saw 3D review

On Friday my friend and I went to Edward's Cinema to watch Saw 3D. As usual, people are victims of deadly traps.One man claims that he is a survivor, when the truth is that he has never been in a trap. He has made a career out of a lie, and now "Jigsaw" was going to set him straight.
If you are a hard-core gore lover, I'll say that you might be a bit disappointed. To me it seems that the movie focused mostly on the 3D effects...it didn't show as many "IN-YOUR-FACE" pop-outs as i expected. However I did notice that it was like the people were the ones that were popping out of the screen... for example there was a guy with an unusually bright purple jacket on a skate-board Its like he was in the theater. Other than that it was.. eh, fine.. But, that seems to be the problem with these new 3D films. They take up so much time on the 3D FX than the more important effects, like gore. It looked very uninteresting, in my opinion. The best part of the movie was the end(no, not because it ended) but because it had a very interesting twist. Trust me... it even made ME be like" No way!"
I give it

Parents

For my post today, I will be posting about parents. When they kiss you in front of friends, you cringe and/or pull away or when they try to actually talk to you, most kids just ignore them. For most people now-a-days, they don't have a mom or dad to lean on when you get caught up in drama. My mom and I are very close, thus making me furious when kids make a big deal that "their rents' are bringing down their style." In this century we now live in, most families are one parent or kids live with their other family members. What makes me so upset is when parents abuse their children. Domestic violence is a BIG issue and is happening in most homes and when people know, they do nothing. There are two kinds of evil; people who do evil and people who see bad things happening and do nothing about it. When you have a good parent right in front of you, you shouldn't be taking it for granted. Hopefully, those who read this will consider. Thank you. <3>

Today I will talk about the greatest sport in the world, basketball. Aside from football and baseball, basketball is the world's most known sport.If you think about it, it's kind of like math. You have to shoot it at a certain angle, depending how close or how far you are. The speed and rotation of the ball also counts. I think that the NBA will be one of the best and well-known associations for many years to come.

Today I will be talking about the an unknown sport like cricket. Even though cricket is not well known in the U.S it is a sport that is played around the world. Cricket is a very interesting sport it is similar to football because it has 11 people on a team. It is similar to baseball because there is a batter and a pitcher in this case a bowler. I think if people see it on TV then they might think that is interesting and then cricket will grow into a big sport in the U.S.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5i3dKdcaro&feature=related.
