Birth month song

The most popular during October of 1991when I was born was Mariah Carey's Emotions. The only thing that I remember was that my sister loved Mariah Carey and always tried to sing it, and it was an epic failure.

My Bucket List

The best way to be successful in life is by planning goals and setting standards for you self. In this bucket list, I will plan out what I need to do whether it’s changing my personal life, behavior, or figuring out what I need to do to become wealthy.

As in the movie Forrest Gump,” Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what your gunna get.” What that means to me is that life is going to have its ups and downs and you can let the get in the way of your life, so set your personal life aside and do what needs to be done. By the behavior that you exert yourself with and how you carry yourself is how your future looks.

The first steps to greatness you could say is by making smart and thought out choices right now. Now, that I’m in college, I have to realized that I am on my own now and my future is depending on the choices that I make now. My plan so far is too get all my basic and general education classes done here at San Jose State. Then from there decide what I want to do as a major. As of right now, I have two choices that I have come up with. It is either transfer to Cal State Northridge and pursue a degree in Deaf Studies or go to the Culinary School in San Francisco; these are my goals for the next couple years.

Within ten or so years I plan to have graduated from college and have a masters and bachelors degree. With those degrees, to then find a well paying and steady job. From then just stay on a bright and straight path and always have my head in the skies always believing that there is always more to get out of life then what is right in front of you.

Twenty years from now I plan to be wealthy, healthy, and married with a couple of kids, happily living some where beautiful with a warm climate. But these things can only be possible from the choices that I make now. Never lose track of your thoughts and goals and always reach for the stars.

Non-Muse Event #3

For my third non muse report myself and my room mates went to the basketball game here against William Jessup on Monday 16, 2009. The game started at 7 p.m. I had mixed thoughts going to the game, because I hoped our basketball team was better then our football team. Since we are a division one basketball team and William Jessup is a division 2 team I thought it should be a easy win and if it wasn't we also, had a long basketball season ahead. When the game started it was a close game till mid way through the first half then we started to pull away which was good. By half time we were up by 15 points which is a good coo-shin but, they needed to keep it up. When the second half started it was the same as the first close till mid way through then we pulled away again. In the end, we came out victorious which was a win feeling because I wasn't use to going to a sporting event and be the winning school. The final score was 63-89. I hope we have more wins this year then just one and I plan on going to more basketball games.

Lyrics Analysis

The rock 'N' roll song that I picked analyze and its lyrics is, "Hit the road Jack", by Ray Charles. What the lyrics mean is that a girl treated a man badly and he cant take it anymore. Then he says I have to pack my things and go and the girls say that's right and don't come back no more no more. Then he talks about how he will get back on his feet someday and doesn't need her. Then in the end he like is trying to get her to take him back but she doesn't want him anymore and says " don't you come back no more." I love this song my mom sang it to me as a joke when I was little before I went to school all the way up to middle school. The songs means to me completely different to me now then what it did when I was little. When I was little I just thought it was a song that was joking to someone that to hit the road and never come back. Now, after analyzing the song I understand what it means how she treated him bad he leaves then he wants her back but she doesn't want him back and then he for reals hits the road and never comes back.

Moment that change the history of rock& roll

The moment that I selected was the time in 1962 when the infamous James Brown was at the apollo. On that night the James Brown band was recording a live album, James Brown wanted to make a live album that would show what he and his band could do through an entire performance. But, Syd Nathan, the head of James Brown label, said how people were only interested in new hot singles. That didn't stop James Brown though he put all his money to finance the recording himself, at a cost of $5,700. This album was a huge hit as James Brown anticipated it sold around 1 million copies.

Non muse event # 2

For my non muse event I went to Lovefest or as they say lovevloution. It was held in San Francisco, by city hall. This day was crazy, interesting, and fun all at the same time. Every where you looked you would see something crazy like a crazy costume like i saw a group of people dressed up as cops but with minimal clothing, there were a few naked people. (ewwww gross) Why were they naked I don't know but I'm also not surprise because it is San Francisco and everyone there on that special day was either drug or under the influence of some kind of drug. Lovefest is about dressing up weird, getting really messed up and going to the city to party and dance in the streets because their are multiple DJ booths blasting music, basically San Francisco is turn into an outdoor rave for a day. All in all I had a great time and can't wait till next year to go again.
