My favorite music

I'm done my final spring exam THANK GOD!!! so finally i can return to listening to music, I'm so sick of listening to the same songs over and over agian on the radio the top tens, of hip hop and rap and whatever Katty Perry is, I used to actually like that stuff man the lyrics make no sense the tunes have been done before. I guess I just craved any music I could listen to while I had the time. Now I have loads of time =) so i thought I'd share with you.
So heres a list of songs and bands that I have fallen in love with:

K'naan- TIA do i even need to say more?

We The Kings-Every time I hear one of their songs I'm danicing around in bedroom (ignoring those random scandolous stares from my neighbors) the lyrics are so good!

Taken by the Trees- Its actually just one girl she sings soft music i love her voice, makes you feel upbeat and happy =)

I love the way you lie- I didn't think the song could be so good but it is

MGMT- the music is so good.

Owl City- Esp his newest albumn

BOB airplanes- i like the chorus and the music

Kevin Ruldoph

Good Night-Black Eyed Peas- Yeah the first song that was played after Canada won Gold, why would I not like it?

some taylor swift... and a mix of others =)

Welcome to 2010

Time tests people we get tested everyday over trivial matters, our alarm clock went off too soon, our shower water was cold, our siblings didn't do their chores, the worst one my playschool teacher has brain cancer and is dying. No it’s not trivial. Its a slap in the face, I volunteered with her for a good two years, all my cousins and siblings went to her for education and now that I'm done grade school it seems she’s done with school too. So let me honor her right now, I can't say her name but she’s an amazing person, she makes her kids smile because she cares about each and everyone of them. She lives in the most multicultural areas of the city and she celebrates it, she runs a small community playschool in one of the poorest places but it doesn't matter to her. The kids mater. I mattered.

In the meantime Iraq’s president is ready to file a lawsuit on an American company (Blackwater) for allowing its security guards to kill 17 civilians, the company was security for diplomats. Yeah, I love the irony too. Want to hear another interesting measure the US will now be screening people of several countries tougher. These countries have been divided as countries of interest (meaning the ones that are being screened for terrorists) are all predominantly Muslim, the next group of countries have been labeled sponsors of terrorism, it includes Cuba, dear God. The list contains a total of fourteen nations. Other western nations are following lead. What this means ladies and gentlemen is the racism is becoming more and more official in the world and we are UNDOING years of evolution. It means that we are FAILING at using our minds to help prevent terrorism and using minor techniques that may seem to help in the beginning but will only make things worse. Racism leads to Terrorism, why would civilians of these countries respect us if we can’t respect them. In one move the American government has classified these people as having suspicious behavior simply by looking at the country they live in. Americans invaded Iraq, shot down thousands of innocent civilians, snatched smiles from millions of children, and the disgusting truth of Abu Gharib. Why? There is NO justification. What will a child do? Losing their parents living on the streets watching their family disappear. And then when they try to escape try to come to “America, the land of opportunity” that child will be discriminated against from the very beginning. Treated differently just because that child didn’t have control over where it was born. Why would this child respect us western countries? Simple logic really give respect get respect. Sadly its not being followed and we need to change that.
