facebook.com

This website may seem like a time waster and just a pointless website for students and such, but the only reason I chose this website is because, communication. After all of us graduate, pretty much all of us are gonna stop seeing each other and losing contact with many people, but if I have this website, I can contact anyone I want to, and start up on a conversation and see how all of my high school buddies are doing, and what's new with them. I think Facebook is a great website, and that is why I would continue with it in the future. 

dictionary.com & thesaurus.com

These two websites I can use anytime during my life, or for anything in school. They are really helpful on the words you struggle with and the words you wish you knew other words that mean the same thing. These websites are very useful in my future and that is why I chose them.

netvibes.com

I think that Netvibes would be a really great website to take with me in the future, because, I can keep all the news channels and sites that I like to research, and have all the latest news on my passions, like Music. It keeps you in touch with things that are happening around the globe, and even to people (friends, family etc.) It is just an overall good website to keep with you.

Youtube.com

I picked Youtube, because it can be very educational website for me, especially for music. I could look up for example drum covers of songs, and see how other people do it, just so I know that I am doing it right, or is there something I need to change. You can also watch many videos that you could use for school, for projects and such. This would be one of the websites that I would bring with me in the future.

Gmail.com

In the future I would people to be able to contact me, other than facebook and I would like to have something more professional. So I chose to have Gmail as one of the websites to bring with me. Gmail would be good for sending resumes and other important emails, instead of using hotmail. You can also access google docs, and share documents with other people, great for projects. And that is why I would choose Gmail as another website to bring along.

My 5 Things I would never do to another Person

I would never leave my Family or good friends for any stupid reasons
 I can tell by experience that this is such a stupid thing to do to the people you love. It cause pain, and sometimes it's hard for the family to forgive you. That's why I can promise that I will never do such a thing.

I would never physically harm someone
It doesn't take that much for someone to piss me off, but no matter how much they do, I would never physically harm someone. Me and my friends sometimes play wrestle and play fight, and we get hurt from time to time, and we hurt each other also, but that's all in good fun, I could never just hit, punch or kick someone. The only time I could do that is if I was in any sort of trouble.

I would never do anything that would harm myself, or my family and loved ones
Drugs is one of the biggies. I would never and could never do any sort of drugs that would harm myself or my family. Another is any big crimes like theft or murder, I would NEVER kill someone for any reason at all, because I know that it hurts the family's around the situation, and also the person that committed the crime.

I would never not make sure someone is ok, if they look sad
Whenever I see someone and I think they are sad, I need to make the effort and ask if everything is okay with them. I want to make sure that they are well and happy.

I will never tell someone that they won't be able to do something
 The reason I chose this is because when I come in contact with people who aren't really good at what they want to do, I could never, and would never tell them that they aren't good at what they do, because I know how much it would hurt the person. So that is why it is something I would never do to another human.

My Moment in a Box

It's hard to pick just ONE minute to put in a box, I mean it's only one minute, one minute is 60 seconds, that's not much time. So I decided to pick a night in my life, and put it in my box of memories. The night I chose will stick with me until my last moments here on earth. The moment I have chosen was my very first Band performance with my very first band Fezik. The reason I chose this is, because you probably now know that music is my number one passion, and playing a live performance with my favourite instrument was the best thing I could have done. Right before we went on stage was the most nervous I think I had ever been. It was the thought of if the crowd was gonna like us? am I going to screw up? what happens if I screw up? all those thoughts went through my head, and got my heart pounding even more. Backstage in the greenroom, everyone was silent, not a word was spoken until seconds before we got on. We heard Fezik being called out on the stage, and a big scream came from the crowd. The moment I stepped on the stage, it was like all my nerves just fell off and stayed off stage. That night was probably one of the most fun nights in my time as a drummer, it was most definitely not the best I played, but it was the most fun. I am glad I got the chance to play the concert, and I hope I get more chances to do the same thing in the future.

Mission Statement

I want to live my life to the fullest. I want to keep music in my life no matter what. I want to continue playing all the instruments I play, because whenever I play an instrument it brightens my mood, no matter what my mood at the time is. I don't want to be happy all the time, I want to feel some unhappiness like a real human. I want to know that I had some importance in someones life. I want to be honest with myself, and most importantly, I want to be honest with others. 

Daily Journal

1) What was confirmed for you today; what did you already know?

It was confirmed for me today, that I feel in a better mood that I have woken up twice now at a proper time, and have not been late to any classes. It makes me happier when I show up on time or even early to what I am suppose to attend, whenever I am late for a class, it always set's my day off on the wrong hand, and I am in a bad mood for the day.

2) What is the word of the day? 

The word of the day today is... BESPOKE. This word has no importance in my life today, I just couldn't think of any words to put up so I went up on Dictionary.com and saw the word of the day, and it was bespoke. Bespoke means Made to individual order; custom made. 

3) What surprised you in your learning today?

I have noticed in the past couple days, when I have woken up early and actually have made myself breakfast, I have stayed a little bit more focused in my learning and paid attention more in class. Something that did not surprise me is that I tuned out many times today, and caught myself, which is no good. I have got to stop doing that. 

4) What changes are you going to make as a result of what you have learned?

I am going to try and think of techniques on how to not let myself tune out in class, and to pay way more attention to when the teacher is talking. 

5) What connections have you made to your own life?

I can't think of any major connections that I have made today. I am sorry :(

6) What questions are you left with?

What does the Q, in Q-tip stand for?

What would chairs look like if your knees bent the other way?

Whose cruel idea was it for the word lisp to have an "s" in it?

"Fix You"

When you try your best, but you don't succeed              

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below

When you're too in love to let it go

But if you never try you'll never know

Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down on your face

And on your face I...

Tears stream down on your face

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down on your face

And on your face I...

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

I chose this song because I find it very comforting. The songs about grieving, and helping others in their times of need. In my life I have never really gone through any traumatic deaths, or losses in my family, But an example of when this song comforted me, was when I was little and my first dog died, I listened to and I felt very comforted. I also find it very inspirational for writing songs, it always gets me in the mood to write music. That's why I chose it as my inspirational song.
