Guitar was really stressful for me but I'm excited to be able to comfortably learn music over the summer with no deadlines. Some songs I hope to learn are Giants by Bear Hands. (I don't know what's up with the weird anime thing, it's a good song though). The Middle by Jimmy Eat World (saw that one live at ACL amazziinngggg). Last would have to be...Say Something by A Great Big World ft Christina Aguilera.
Is this my last blog?
THANKS FOR READING THEM ALL
YOUR CLASS WAS GREAT
I HAD A LOT OF FUN
GOOD LUCK TO YOU MR. A!!
I don't know anything about music and I think that's why I avoid blogging. That's a dumb excuse but whatever. I really liked this class because I not only got to learn about the making of music, but all sides of music. Each day I was exposed to new music that I may have judged right off the back and said "ew" or just didn't know about it and it's like I've been exposed to new worlds.
I'm kind of sad Mr. A is leaving but it's cool that I got to be in his last class as a Sophomore. There will be legends of Mr. A's awesome class and "oh do you remember Mr. A".I'm really glad I got to be in this class all year, it was a lot of fun and I'm glad I had the experience. Thanks Mr. A.
Thanks for reading
Have a great summer!

Today we are watching Reincarnated. The documentary about Snoop Dog Lion. I personally thought the whole Snoop Lion thing was dumb because I thought all he wanted from the Rastafarian culture because of the weed. Although watching this documentary showed me he doesn't only care about smoking weed so I have gained a bit of respect for him.
I do like some of Snoop Lions reggae album. I also like some of Snoop Dogs albums. I don't know a lot about him so I'm happy to better understand him.

Recently I haven't been listening to music. Its weird I've noticed more stress and anxiety in my life since I don't have music to calm my nerves. I think music has a huge influence on mental, physical, and social health. If we don't have music to emphasize with us, we might feel neglected and stressed.
Ive blogged about how music always feels the way I do and I think its really important to everyone especially people who have a lot of stress. We just finished research projects and a few did theirs on how music affects people. It helps with memory, stress, anxiety, and even social anxietys.
On Thursday,  we watched a documentary about the creation of American Idiot on Broadway.  I got to see the play and I really liked it. I think I blogged about it too. The documentary was really cool though.  I loved being able to learn why certain things were playing and why certain choreography was in it.
It was a really nice change from our on going rap and hip hop streak.  It was fun to be able to think Ohh THATS WHY THEY DID THAT.
Green Day is also amazing. 21 Guns is one of my favorite songs.  I grew up on our mutual hatred for the stupidity and ignorance in america.

So I recently discovered this thing on youtube called What it Again. It just shwos old videos you use to watch. Recently all it has done is made me realize the odd and disgusting phases I've been through. Like the Die Antwoord one... I'm sorry you had to see that.
I really like this song. His voice is kind of funny so I always smile when I hear it. I also like that it makes you think about appreciating all you have. I never really listened to Passenger that I know of. This is a nice song though; a little simple, but nicely simple.
I only have one class to blog about sorry. Cell phones are always in class, even if the teacher doesn't see it. Kids have been sneaking them around in their pockets and hoodies. I even had a hoodie with secret headphones so I could jam out to anxty teen emo rock in Texas history.
This "new" policy isn't gonna last. As soon as finals hit no ones going to care about any of the legal stuff. Everyone just wants school to be done.
Cell phones will come back and people need to calm down, its like 2 weeks just stop whining and get your stuff together.
Sorry I haven't been doing my blogs.
So the new cell phone policy thing is dumb. I just don't think it's that big of a deal though? We aren't suppose to have our phones out in the first place. Now everyone can't ignore their teachers and play useless games (was that a bit hypocritical?). Anyway we've snuck phones into class before and will continue to do it. I don't have a lot of strong opinions on this.
