Not my fault :P

Hello and you are probably wondering why I haven't posted in the last few days...
Well, how can I start this...

First of all, I was practicing for my spring concert that was last Thursday as I had a piano solo to do...in front of the school, which was freaking nerve-wreaking.
Secondly, my internet usage was up (Too bad, but I don't want to pay extra for it...) which is quite self-explanitory.
And finally, for reasons unknown to me, I could not log into blogger for a period of time last week mostly around Friday - Sunday. I don't know why, but I could log into everything else fine other than my Gmail, YouTube and of course Blogger accounts....


Well anyways I will try to make up for it by sharing a lot of videos that I found of very talented people who make me want to take their skills as my own play very well!

First we have...

Lindsey Stirling

Isn't she talented? Dancing and playing the violin!

Secondly we have...

UKpiano

 One of my favorite songs, Heart of Courage by Two Steps from Hell!

And finally we have...

MsZakir89

Very talented, three instruments! O.o

Hopefully this will make up for the last posts...and If not...well....
Well no one can really do anything as this is my free time so Good Bye! :D

Ehh...

Hi...I'm Bored...So....Yea....

Well, I have quite a large amount of homework so I will just get to showing you guys a funny video.
In my opinion, this is interesting even though it is a parody of religion.
Also before people start to hate me for this, I DO NOT SUPPORT EITHER SIDES nor am I trying to offend others and by that I mean, I don't support either there is a god, or not and I honestly don't really care, I'm busy enough without having to worry about what is in the bible or other texts of different religions.



 Again, I am not trying to offend anyone, this is just a video I would like to share.

Rain!

Hello everyone, How have you all been doing?

Today I just want to share something that not many people like and that is the Rain.

 

I honestly love the rain, the sound, the sights and I don't understand why so many people dislike it, it may be annoying when you are stuck in a shower, but it is quite soothing. RainyMood.com is a site that plays the rain, you hear a light rain shower. It is a peaceful sound of nature as well as quite enjoyable to listen to.

Well this is all for today, enjoy the rest of the day!

Short Post

Hello to everyone reading this and beyond.
I don't know why I chose to put that there, but oh well let us continue onwards.


So today's post is just a little show and tell section as I would like to show you guys a manga that I have been reading called Necromancer.





This manga or Japanese graphic novel is about a man who is known as the Necromancer (Oh and just in case you don't know what the title of a necromancer is, it is someone who can revive the dead) and his power to revive anyone, but demands a price. What I personally like about this manga is that it dives into the pure impulses and desires of us humans and It is portrayed in a way that is still children-friendly or easy to understand.

...Or that is at least how I think it is.


Anyway this is all for today have a nice Long Weekend because I know I will!

I'M BACKK!!!!

Hello everybody and as the title suggests, I am back!

Well first of all I should probably discuss the reason why I was away. I was away for so long due to a number of reasons that I don't want to get into right now, but the reasons why I was away that I can and would like to discuss about is because of the OSSLT (Thunder strikes and dramatic music plays) and a few projects due last week.

Well as this is my first post after...well I'm not really sure now long, but I will just keep this post short and end it now, but not before sharing a video that has a main point of why procrastination is so fun!
And Now, Let It Begin! Oh just a heads up the video is about an hour long and its about MineCraft.Oh and like Etho, Guy in the video, would say, "Have your snacks ready!"

And one more heads up, this is the conclusion of a prank so, if you want to find out what happened before the start of the video click here for the first part in the prank.


Alright, this wraps up today's post, See you next time.

Who killed Juliet?!

Hello everyone, what is up? Today we will be discussing who is the one who's responsible for the death of Juliet! (Dun dun dunnnn)


Well first of all I think that the ones who are partly responsible for Juliet's death would be both the Capulets and the Montagues familes. However if I had to name one person to name the main cause of Juliet's death, I would say it is Lord Capulet, Juliet's father.
So the main reason why I name Juliet's father as the main cause of Juliet's sadness is because he forced  Juliet to marry Paris. This then lead to her becoming very sad that she had to either marry Paris, someone who she does not love, or to die at the hands of her father, who threatened to kill her if she did not marry Paris.
So no matter what Juliet does she will still be unhappy because her one true love, Romeo, is exiled anyways and she tried to kill herself as well, but was persuaded to stop by Father Laurence and take a potion that caused her to seem dead for a while. Then when Romeo comes back, he finds Juliet "dead" and then proceeds to take his own life and then finally ends up as a double suicide with Juliet as well as Romeo.

So in my opinion, the one person that forced or triggered the whole event that leads to both Juliet's and Romeo's death is Juliet's father, Lord Capulet.

Well this ends my post for today, I don't feel well at all, Goodbye!

March Break is Over! D:

Hello everyone and welcome back from March Break. Hope you all had a wonderful break, I know I did...not. Well anyways, the topic of today's post is how passion and violence go hand in hand together. Of course this is based on some quotes from Romeo and Juliet.


The first quote is from Benvolio.

"He is already dead; Stabbed with a wench's black eye; 
Shot through the ear with a love song, 
the very pin of his hear cleft with the blind bow-boy's butt shaft."

I believe the theme of this quotation is passion. To start off, the meaning of the quote is how he is so madly in love with Juliet, who is the 'wench' from the quote, that she has control over him.  The part "He's already dead" means that it is hopeless, nothing else will effect him and that he is as emotionless as a dead man. The other part "The very pin of his heart..." this is referencing to the center of Romeo's heart and the "blind bow-boy's butt shaft" is cupid's arrow, so in short this would be thought as Romeo being head over heels in love with Juliet, thus is his passion.

The second quote is from Mercutio.

"A plague o' both your houses!"

 I believe the theme of this quote is both violence and passion. Violence due to the plague being such an extreme sickness and has a bad reputation of killing about 75-100 million people in the 1400's. It is also passionate because Mercutio feels so strongly about having the plague on both the Capulet and Montague families.

This is it for today, Goodbye everyone and have a nice day!

An Oxymoron!

Hello! How are you all doing? Hmm? what's that? I haven't posted last time? Yes I know and I'm sorry. It seems that with the March Break(WOOT!!!) coming closer, some of my teachers find it the perfect time to give out a couple of projects due right before the break, which is this week. So I haven't been getting enough sleep, even though I sleep almost seven hours a day, and haven't been getting my video game fix for a while now. And to top it all off, i need to get my copy of Mass Effect 3, which in my opinion is the best game series of this generation, great story, game play is smooth and the voice acting along with the animations is just awesome!

Alright no more of me rambling on about my problems it is time to get to the main idea of today's post, which is an oxymoron. However, it isn't just any oxymoron, it is one of the most famous ones, it is from Romeo and Juliet (It's Shakespeare, so you know it's good). Without further ado, the quote is (drum roll please)... "Parting is such sweet sorrow!" To begin, oxymoron's are words that contradict each other and similar to a paradox, but the two contradicting words are usually right next to each other.


An example would be "parting is such sweet sorrow" another example could be "the hurricane turned the island resort into a hellish paradise." Or.....

Oxymoron's are generally used to draw attention towards a pair of words.
This scene is with Juliet saying...
"Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow." (2. 2. 201-202)
...to Romeo and I believe that this used in this scene because both of them has to part away, so that is the "sorrow" part. However at the same time, both of them cannot wait until they meet again and embrace in each others' love, which is the "sweet" part.

Anyways to end this off, my personal experience with a funny situation on YouTube. So here's the story, I was watching a YouTube video when I get a Rogers internet ad about switching and getting better, no lag service. The funny thing was is, I already have Rogers and that the ad was, you guessed it, Lagging. So yea, that was quite funny for me and that is it for today, Goodbye everyone and have a nice break!!

Love and Marriage

Hello people of the country and/or world that I probably never have met before! What is going on, how have you been doing?
I am just procrastinating on a whole bunch of projects/assignments that are due next week so...yea...I may not be blogging much.

Love and Marriage is the topic of today's blog and if you are wondering about why they sudden change of genre to romantic stuff, it is due to the fact that we ( as in me and my English class ) are reading Romeo and Juliet.



  So far from what I have read from the story, it seems that some of the women in this story are either married off to someone from a young age or become a nun to escape being married off to some random stranger. So back then women would have two choices, become a nun or be sent to marry some strange man that you have never met before, isn't that great? And yes, I am being sarcastic. This is not what I believe in, people should have the right to choose whom they like to spend the rest of their lives with and not choose between either a life of not much freedom and a life with someone that you may not even love or know very well. In addition, it seems that women in this story do not have much of a voice at all and many times I wonder why do people have so much trouble getting along with others, it is not hard! It is called Social Skills, talk it out people!

To end off, I would like to show you guys a video that would have been VERY useful to know about this afternoon because I had the same problem. Well this is it for today, Goodbye everyone!

What is the role of fate in romantic relationships?

Hello everybody! How are you guys doing? Today's topic will be about the the role of fate in romantic relationships.

To start off let us define the word, Fate. What is fate? According to many fate would be considered as an invisible or a non-existant force that would cause something to undoubtedly happen to someone, it may be good or bad, but that depends on your view of it.
Anyways, the role of fate in romantic relationships are, in my opinion, over-used within our society and media. In almost everyone romantic film nowadays, you always would hear a cliched line such as "We were fated to be together" or something similar to "we are bound together by the red string of fate" or any other cliched line you can think of.

Serendipity is a good movie that is based around the stereotype (I honestly cannot find a better fitting word to use other than this) that true lovers are fated to be together. To summarize, without giving away too much of the movie, the two main characters, Jonathan Trager (John Cusack) and Sara Thomas (Kate Beckinsale), believe that "...fate is behind everything..." and everything that happens between the main characters has fate as the culprit. It is quite funny to watch and the things that happen are just really funny like how they just missed each other on the elevators. Oops, I'm giving away too much spoilers, all in all, this is a great movie and in not wanting to promote this great movie or to sound too biased, it is worth your 5 minutes to check out the movie. Although I find some parts of the movie, slightly strange and of course, it is not for everyone.

Well, this is all for today and have a great day! Goodbye everyone!

Knock Knock!

Hello everyone, how is everyone on this Monday afternoon? Anyone who read my last post will know that I hate Mondays. Not because I have to go to school, but have to be woken up early in the morning by an alarm clock that repeatedly goes "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP" after a nice weekend of sleeping in. I miss the weekend already...

Getting to the main point of this post, below is a video of Daniel Beaty and his poem, Knock Knock.

For the lyrcis, click HERE

After watching this inspiring video and his poem of a little boy who loved his father and had to grow up to be a man without a father figure. This little boy wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father, but slowly forgets who his father is since his father neglected to see him anymore. So this little boy had to learn by himself how to become a man and he has tried to help others how were also neglected by their fathers like he was. However this boy then finds out that he must do things by himself, he must become independent and learn that there are lessons in life that cannot be taught, only learned. This boy also learnt that things his father could not do, he must continue and accomplish what his father could not.
I believe this poem relates to The Help as the white children, such as Mae Mobley, who are neglected by their parents must find their way in life without much guidance from their biological mothers. The children are only supported by the black maids who helps point out their pathways called life, but it is the children themselves who must take the first step.

This is all just in my own personal opinion, if you feel differently please leave a comment below. Goodbye!

Post Number 6!

Hello everyone, what is going on? The weekend is coming to an end, too bad, and Monday is coming up. All the time you had is now all gone, so you better start working on that essay of yours that's due tomorrow. I honestly understand why people leave things to the last minute because video games are so much more fun to do and I agree with you on that. However try to get at least some work done before the weekend ends.

Starting a different topic all together now! I would like to share another video that I found on YouTube and these people must have practiced and tried a lot to get this in one take.

Check them out HERE!

Now I am running out of things to say, so this ends the blog for today, Goodbye everyone!

Fifth Post!

Hello everyone once again! Sorry about not posting this yesterday, but I was busy trying to learn a new song for keyboard class, that I had no idea how to play and was supposed to have a playing test today. Don't you hate it when you have to do things last minute and then try your hardest to do it right, then the teacher give you an extension at the last minute and all your hard work doing things all night goes to waste?

Anyways enough of that, I was just wondering if any of you had any special skills that you would like to share. I am sure everyone knows the saying that it is impossible to lick your own elbow, however this guy , can do just that, Watch! By the way, this is a little, kind of disturbing and if you are one that do not like these things do NOT click play.

Well? Is this not cool?

On a completely somewhat, maybe related sense, do you or do you not HATE YOUTUBE ADS?! They are very, very annoying and bothersome as they show up again and again.

This is it for my post today and I will try my best to make sure I post on time every two days, Later all!

Fourth Post!

Hello everyone and welcome back from the long weekend! Hope you had a good one! Today let us talk about something that is very serious, SOPA.

( If you have no idea of what SOPA or PIPA is click on the word or click here. )


 I really want your honest opinion on whether SOPA and/or PIPA should be passed or not. Many people believe that these bills will give the government TOO much control over free speech and the internet. Others, such as the large entertainment cooperations, who agree and support this bill. This bill also allows the entertainment companies to sue anyone and everyone who downloaded any "infringing/copyrighted" software. The SOPA bill will allow the government to block users from accessing any website that contains copyright content from other contries. The Bill will also include up to FIVE years in prison just for streaming copyrighted content, this means that YouTube will also be shut down if the bill passes as most of their content includes "copyrighted" songs and video clips from movies.

Just a reminder, please post your opinion and comments, as I and others would like to hear your voice on this matter.

Second Post!


Hello everybody once again! How are you on this fine P.A or P.D (i don't know which is right, but whatever!) day?
 
I was look around YouTube for some nice videos and I found this one right here :

 
 This is quite a nice animation, the movements are seamless and flows very well. The music that the animator based this video around is very appropriate, it gives the video its character. However at the beginning, you can see that the man's ring is on the left hand, but as the video ends the ring moves to the right hand. It is a very small flaw, but I do not believe that it disrupts the video very much. All in all this is a very well made animation and the scenes of this man's life is very well thought out and I love this piece. The song is called "Comptine d'un autre été: l'après midi" which is composed by Yann Tierse. Click here for a longer piano cover made by
 
That is all for today, have a nice day and long weekend!

First Post and Valentines Day scam?!

Hello and salutations to everyone and anyone who is reading this post! First of all, as everyone knows what day yesterday was and if you do not know, I'll run it by you now. YESTERDAY WAS...

Did you get it now? Yes? Good :D.

Anyways, I would like to ask about your opinion of Valentines day. Do you think its a waste of time, a great idea and the person who invented it was a genius, or any other thoughts that you might have!
Personally I feel that Valentines Day is... a scam. Yes, I said it is a scam, why? Well, around Valentines Day stores everywhere have special sales and bargain deals for romantic gifts that you can give to your valentine. However, the stores are just using it as a way to get more sales and the thought of this one special day that you treat your loved one nice, is just ridiculous. If you really love this person, don't wait until Valentines Day to make them happy, do it every single day! Who knows how long you are going to be together for, might as well cherish it now while it lasts because who really knows how long you have?

 Well that is it for my short(?) rant. Now to end up on a completely off-topic note,  what do you think about this picture?
