Tv when I was a child.

When I was a child my favorite shows were deffinatly Arthur and Full House. I honestly do not remember watching a lot of television programs when I was younger. I just remember that I was constantly watching disney movies... Beauty and the Beast, Thumbelina, and such. I actually have videos of myself where I am watching movies. I loved to be and play outside... when it was nice. It was probably more fun than tv. I've found that as Im getting older I remember seeing things somewhere, and I sware I will always remember it from Magic School Bus, or Bill Nye The Science Guy. What is good about television? I believe a lot of the shows I watched as a child taught me things that I use every day. For example every show has one problem that is common among children that gets solved. I think that it helps to make good team players and listeners because those kids know how to solve problems in an appropriate mannor. Because technology has progressed parents arent censoring a lot of the programs their children are watching. Its kind of a free for all now. When I was a child, Tv was beneficial to me. Now its more just for entertainment for everyone.

Subversion...

So a while ago. And it was a really sweet party. My friends and I had a good time. But only one thing...Some people from Ernestown showed up that are I guess classified as "jocks" ahahah and they weren't allowed in! Doesn't bother me any but, that is such a total subversion. Every movie or tv show we teens see with a party seen always contains jocks throwing the party and being the life of it, but friday night was deffinatly the total opposite! Which is really refreshing. I kinda feel bad though cuz the "jocks" had to wait outside for a long time for a cab! =(

Coco Chanel!!!

Some of you may be uncertain to who Coco Chanel really is… So I am going to tell you. Her real name is Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, and she was born on August 19 1883 and passed away on January 10th 1971. She had 5 siblings, (2 girls, and 3 boys, one which died very young) her parents also passed when she wasn’t very old. So Gabrielle was put into an orphanage, where she learned to sew. After some “connections” with wealthy men she opened her first store in 1910.In 1925 Chanels signature fragrance came out. It was called Chanel No.5, because it was the fifth sample product she created. Marilyn Monroe commented it was her favorite, and still today a bottle of Chanel No. 5 is sold every 30 seconds. In 1923 Coco launched her elegant suit that was themed though men’s fashion. It was a knee length skirt with a boxy jacket. Gabrielle also introduced the “Little Black Dress”, still commonly worn today. The clothing she designed are comfortable and simple but still are considered couture. Coco made Time Magazines top 100 most influential people of the 20th century. She was the only one in her field of work to make the list.
Ms. Chanel never married. But she had a relationship with a German Nazi when they took over France his name was Hans Gunther Von Dincklage. Coco is buried Lausanne Switzerland, and on her tombstone there are five lion carved heads on it. Coco Chanel is one of the leading top designers in the world today. Every girl loves her Chanel. I know I do!!!

Sir Elton Hercules John!!!

Today I am going to write about Sir Elton John. I believe he is amazing! The things he writes about in his music would take such knowledge, that I can't even understand. He truely is a glorious musician. Everyone knows Elton is gay. Why does that matter? Honestly. He was one of the biggest pop idols ever, and he was knighted. He is SIR ELTON JOHN, shouldnt that gain him some kind of respect? I don't understand why teens make fun of him. They should really appreciate him and his music. After all he helped write the songs for "The Lion King" that we cheerish so much.

Eltons Mini- Biography!!!

Sir Johns name, when he was born on March 25th 1947 was Reginald Kenneth Dwight ! He had a band called Bluesology in 1967 where he adopted his stage name though his saxaphonoist named Elton and his frontman named John. Elton started playing piano in 1951 at the age of only 4!!! In 1994 he was introduced into the rock and roll hall of fame. He was later knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1998. His talents include compostion of music for everything you can think of; (Road to El Dorado, Lion King, Billy Elliot), he is a pianist, and producer. He currently and has previously been signed with labels such as Universal, Interscope and MCA. Elton has won countless Grammy and Academy Awards. Sir Elton John has his own HIV/AIDS foundation. He was previously married to Ms.Renate Blauel, but now is in a civil partnership with Mr.David Furnish, and is still composing some of his best work still today at the ripe old age of 60. He is also an avid gay activist. (power to you elty!)

So in conclusion Sir Elton Hercules John is an amazing person, song writer, singer, producer, pianist, activist, award winning man. Although he is very excentric, and rather gay, we should be congratulating on his accomplishments.

I LOVE SIR ELTON JOHN.

Ps. Check out his website its got video clips, and songs and pictures and everything!!!

Bordom In School

So this post is about how bord I am with school. (This isnt aimed at you Mzqbit at all i like your class because everything is always changing.)I find that when im at school the only reason I am there is for my friends. I am a hands on kind of person. I cant just take notes and be expected to understand it and use it properly. I find I learn best by doing. I think teachers should take responsibility for making a course fun. They should make better lesson plans that dont involve sitting in a desk all day reading text books and taking notes. Why not make a jeoprody game outta something, or get us active and moving around. Why not take inschool field trips and learn outside. I strongly believe that the student population will actually want to come to school to LEARN not to socialise. Overall making a happier school community.

Confused?...

So today I was reading a story to a few students I help in a grade three classroom at OPS, and one of the kids picked a book called "Will We Miss Them?". It was a book published by World Wildlife Fund, and I was really confused what they wanted out of these little eight year olds? The book had pictures of bald eagles, elephants, cougars, blue whales, bears, gorillias and many more endangered species. They would give little information about the animal and then at the end of each page with big writing it read "Will We Miss Them???" And to me... It seemed like they wanted these kids to give them money!? Or even go home and be like "Mommy and daddy lets sponsor an endandgered animal!!!" To me thats just crazy! It might have been the way I was reading it, but its horrible to think companies even try to get into the minds of children in the household. Clever. Tricky.... But horrible!!!

I like Boats.

So Im not positive yet how this relates to media but, I am really looking forward to summer because my family and I love to spend our time on our boat. We have a boating crew which is pretty cool. The people in the crew have small boats that might be for fishing or big, huge luxury boats for cruising the 1000 islands. During the weekends we all meet at a secret spot, which is a sand bottom cove on Wolfe Island. We play water sports, tan, eat and just enjoy everyones company. I think its extremely refreshing that people of all classes in society can get together and have fun. If you think about it, the rich hang with rich and do rich things. The less fortunate hang out with the less fortunate and do less fortunate things. Boating creates a society where none of that matters. And I love that! You get different people from all different walks of life, and everyone just has a good time!

Who Killed The Electric Car?!

Wowie!!! So umm "who killed the electric car?" was quite boring. Im not a fan of documentaries unless they are made by Micheal Moore. It really surprised me that the chief influences of killing the electric car were George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condolezza Rice, Andrew Card. No wonder our world is dying! ahahaha !!! We should deffinatly try and bring back the electric car though. Its a good idea! Theres a gasoline coloured ELECTRIC car for yea! ahaha.

I hateeee it!!!!!!!!!!!

So I really hate the new ad campaign for the Adidas bounce cushioning . With the little cars jumping each other and bouncing around. Oh and how at the beginning of the commercial it starts with an imitation of that internet arcade game. I cant tell you what it is that bothers me about it…. I just find it extremely annoying. They must be able to think of something better than that right?!

Oh and I deffinatly love the "exclusive to athletes world" at the end!?

(Also they arent even that nice looking!)

Umm Disturbed

Soo I am digusted and really disturbed by the pizza hut commercial "Cheesy Bites".

In the ad it shows Jessica Simpson walking in with a platter of chessy bites pizza...

And she bends over and puts one in this like 12 year olds mouth!!!!!!!!!? Thats not right. I can see the company trying to get the family restaurant point across... But the kid looks soo turned on, and hes like 12 years old and shes what 26?! Like common Pizza Hut!!! You make good, greasy pizza but that does not mean you can make a pedifilic commerical.

I Am In Love...

Oh my goodness! So Im pretty much in love... With big hats! Not like a big rimmed cowboy hats or one of those ugly, goofy looking things you win at a fair. I like classy big hats. Like back in the day when Audrey Hepburn wore them on "My Fair Lady". But maybe not quite that big! But it looks incredible and gorgeous.



5 Reasons Why Big Hats Are Hot:

They look good on anyone.
They fit any personality/or style.
They are classy.
No one has one... yet.
You can create a fad.

Big hats are just classy, yet individual. I love the old style incorporated into the new. I really badly want one!!!
