The Talented Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has blown us away with her song writing skills. She has also blown us away with her great fan base, and has help populate the country music culture. Taylor may only be 19, but she has impacted so many teenagers with her songs about her ex- boyfriends, and continues to hit the charts at #1! I admire Taylor's ambition to make each record better then her previous one. Taylor makes her music fresh, and upbeat which makes her music catchy and popular. Most people say Taylor is a good songwriter, but needs to improve on her vocals. I think this is false because when Taylor performs her songs she may not be on key all the time, but this shows that she puts more emotion into her songs, and this makes it easier to relate to her because she isn't the perfect singer. Also most of the time Taylor performs she is either nervous, or has been sick, as seen on the AMA awards when Taylor sang "Love Story". I think Taylor is a great country music artist, who has inspired myself ,and others to stay true to your self, and also to write about situations that happen to you. Taylor also started song writing at a young age, and had a job at 14 as one of the youngest songwriters in Nashville. This is why Taylor is a great role model because she only writes about things she believes in. Therefore this is why Taylor is such a talented musician.

To Tweet, Or Not To Tweet.....

 To Tweet Or Not To Tweet , That Is The Question. Personally I think it is just silly that people would talk about dying alone on twitter. I mean that isn't something you would talk about to your family, or friends, so why post this question on twitter? I think people who post such messages are really insecure about them selves, and have nothing better to do. I think twitter has it's pros and cons, just as much as facebook. Personally twitter is a little better in the privacy department then facebook. This is because if someone posted" Fear of Dying alone" on facebook, the whole world would see it, and everyone would think your crazy. Twitter on the other hand people you have as " friends" can read and give advise without the whole world seeing it. Personally I think Twitter is better than facbook, even tho they both have some flaws, but twitter is more private which is a bonus. So tweet on that!!

Science Is My Job... Faith Is My Rock?!

In the article it talks about a guy who believes in both religion and science. Can they be mixed? I believe they can. This is because Noah, built Noah's Arch .Which consisted of two of each animal fitting on a very large boat, that Noah had built. This is a type of science because you have to be smart enough to know the mass, and volume to create a space that can fit all the animals in. Another, example is from angels and demons by Dan Brown.The character Leonardo Vetra  who also believed in both God and evolution. That is why you can believe in both science, and religion.

We Love Our Earth♥

One hour... No LIGHTS... your light switch is your vote, are you ready? I think this is a great way to make a stand against "Global Warming". This is going to prove how much Canada really cares about our earth. By switching off your lights for one hour it show that you VOTE for "Earth", and by leaving your lights on is a VOTE for "Global Warming". This is a great idea that hopefully everyone will make a stand, and help our plant. After all, we live and breathe what the earth creates. Therefore this is a great way to give back to the earth, and help save something we all love :) .. Take a STAND & TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF!

Pope Says No To Rubber ♂ ♀

Personally I can not believe the pope, who is an influencial leader would say something like that. Him of all people would think and learn the facts before saying anything that would bring up controversy . Especially in a country like Africa where protection against "AIDS/HIV" and "STD'S" is 

desperately needed. I am not a catholic, but from my perspective I thought the pope would have better morals for people, and not preach something that isn't true. In all fairness you can't tell someone not to have sex, it is apart of life, and making false  statements to try and stop people from having sex is wrong. This is because you are truly making matters worse. That is why the pope should learn the facts before saying something that will 

create controversy.

Arizona The Grand Canyon State ☼

On March 1st, 2009 I was off to Arizona. It was my first time on a plane, it was AMAZING, and surprisingly I wasn't even nervous one bit. My cousin and I decided to go to Arizona to get away from the cold weather , and to visit my grandma. When we arrived in Phoenix, we met up with my grandma and sat in the car for another long car ride to Coolidge Arizona where my grandma was staying. After we arrived at the cottage we went swimming and sun tanning. It was great, no snow to be seen for miles and miles. It felt like we were in paradise. For the next following two days we made are way up to the Grand Canyon. Interesting enough... Did you know Arizona is not actually called the Grand Canyon State?.. yes it is true, the reason is even tho it is on license plates, and on the road sign, Arizona's "bill" has never been passed to be called the Grand Canyon State. Weird I know.. Anyways, we spent two days at the Grand Canyon, it was so AMAZING.... Yet that isn't even a good word to describe it's great beauty. We also traveled to route 66.. Which if you have watched the movie cars, you will know what i am talking about. That my friends is where Lightning McQueen had been trapped. This actually was one of my favourite places to visit because all the buildings , and the town it self were still modeled to look like the early 1950's, which looks really rustic and adds character to the towns, which route 66 travels through. We also went to Sedona, which is about 2 hours away from the grand canyon. It was a really tourist town which had more shopping mall then I have ever saw in my entire life. We also went horseback riding, and to a ghost town, which was so awesome. When we went to the ghost town we got to dress up as saloon girls, we had alot of fun.. I wish I could still be in Arizona.One of the bast vacations I have ever been on, so I recommend for everyone to plan a vacation, and go to Arizona. You will love it :)

A+ Marking Scheme ♣

A university teacher decided to give all of his students an A+. This method is very controversial in today's education. This is because teachers want their students to do their best, and to do exactly what they ask . This leaves out all creativity for students.In education today they are all looking for new ways to make student succeed, or to make school more fun, and people friendly. Personally I believe this teaching method is BRILLIANT, not because everyone in the class receives an A, but it is less stressful on students who are worried about their grades. This also makes student show their creative side, and to be more excited about school. Although I think this idea is great, it also has its flaws because students are less likely to try, and therefore won't learn anything valuable. I think if this method of teaching was handled in the proper way, and not blown out of proportion there would be nothing wrong with giving students A+. I also think that if this method was published it would only last, as long as it's creator is living. Therefore I think that we should try this method of a few years to see what happens to students, and their interest in their grades. This is how we would be able to tell if this type of method would be used in future education plans.

Oak Island♫

The long and unsuccessful mystery of Oak Island has entered our gifted class, with many theories of Pirates, the Holy Grail, Shakespeare's Scripts to Mary Antoinette's jewels. Will this mystery ever be solved?.... Many people have risked their lives trying to find the missing pieces to this unsolved puzzle, but no one has solved this great case. Personally, I think there is nothing in the " money pit". This is because if there was anything important we would have found it by now, considering of all the technology that we have today. That is why I believe that there is no Pirate Treasure , or anything that has to do with the Holy Grail , Shakespeare's Scripts , or Mary Antoinette's jewels. Also I think this is just a big scam to get more tourists to come to Canada.
