Hellooo once again!!! i have to make a few blogs up :/ sooo here it goes!! sooo this blog is after quiet riots Metal Health! thios song is simlpy about head banding :] I LOVE IT!!! Some may say that head banging is band for you with the whole brain being knocked around inside of the skull, but thats why we are called metal heads :] it dosent matter to us!! Randy Rhoads was also in this band in the beginning of their start up as a band, and boy did he work that guitar he played! the solo to this song is one of my all time favorites! hmm imma get english out of the way, ososososoo the book me and orson wells was an amazing book! thats that! hahaa welp 15 mins went by and i hate to say it but this looks a little sad :[ its not too long like tho other blogssss but whatever, goodbye! ill see you guys monday!!!

Clown

HELLO AGAIN!!!!!!  How are you doing??? You look good! well lets get to the point of thissss. this week i named my blog after KoRn's Clown. this song is amazing!! its an amazing riff to play anf it just gets you pumped up!!! haha now ive heard that the song can be one of two meanings. onw is that a guy came up to John Davis (singer) and punched him in the mouth. and after that the manger of KoRn came and knocked the guy out cold. so theres that. and the other meaning of it is that John was tourmented and bullied in school. if you look up the lyrics to this song it makes sense, i would post them but they are kind of bad.... but i can put some!

 "Scream at me again, if you like
Throw your hate at me with all your might
Hit me 'cause I'm strange, hit me!"

i think it is about bulling in general. but over all a very good song. here it is!

there you are!!

hmmm english...... uhhh i do not know what to put....grrrr. ok well i guess i can say im not looking foward to ths test over Caesar! that counts right?! i hope so....

if you sneezed while reading this bless your face! BYE!!!

Bark At The Moon

hello!!! So once again I'm doing this from my fone so I'm sorry if this is alil short this week or if it has manny spelling errors! Anyways this week I titeled my blog after Ozzy Osbourne's Bark At The Moon! Ohhhh my goodness how I love this song!! Jake E. Lee was an amazing guitarist, not never better then Rhandy Rhodes! :D anyways the song is about a werewolf! Crazy right?! Haha so that's that, look at the music video and you'll get it! The solo for this song is just 1000000% amazing! One of my all time favorites ever! But I've never learned it on the guitar... Hmmm I think I shall soon! Grrr.....my battery is gonna die :( english right quick before it does! Hmm... EVERYONE IN THE PLAY SHOULD  BE PLAYED BY CHARLIE SHEEN BECAUSE HE IS WINNING!!! Hahaha well that's that! See you all next week!! Byeeeee!

Mr. Crowley

HELLO!!!!!!!!! Sooo music time, the song I picked for this week is none other than Mr. Crowley.
Right. I know this is a little off topic, but I've been researching the lyrics of Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin for some months now. Go to albinoblacksheep.com and search Led Zepplin backward lyrics... you'll see what I mean. Anyway, the backward lyrics are based on Mr. Crowley's old residence, the Boleskin house. What's odd, though, is that it's been said that Jimmy Page took only 5 minutes to write the song, and he was sitting in the particular house. Now I'm getting off topic. It's clear to me that the song is indeed about Aleister Crowely and his rather dedicated thoughts and, shall I say, love for Satan. The whole White Horse thing is most likely about the white horseman during the apocolypse, but i have heard it's about cocaine. It makes sense with the lyrics "Did you ride my white horse, its symbolic of course." But in the end, it's a very good song, with an amazing solo done by my hero\inspiration, Randy Rhodes.

english: ummm, Caesar is REALLY good so far and i really enjoy it. Oh and i have some puzzles to show the class. So yeah

BAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bay counrty

Okay, this song is flat out, undeniably a tribute to the late, great Hunter S. Thompson. The song is based off "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Even the music video has clips from the movie. Even the booklet in the CD credits Hunter S. Thompson with the opening line, "He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man." Yes, this quote illustrates the fact of using copious amounts of drugs and alcohol to forget emotional pain, but it also means that one who turns himself into a beast, shunning society and rejecting human emotion, living at will only on need and instinct, will no longer feel the emotional pains of man as brought on by society, a.k.a. rejection, disgust, loneliness, isolation, social fear. It pretty much means that if you cannot strive above the regular human ideals, then drop below them, into the realm of the beast.
soo english time, ummmmm Casear is pretty good so far! i really enjoy it! cant wait until i read moree

welp goodbye and ill see ya all nect week!

You Got a Friend in Me

Dear Reader,

            Atherton the House of Power follows nope eleven year old boy named Edger. Edger is a skinny boy who lives on the middle level of Atherton called Tabletop. He is all alone in Tabletop in the beginning of the story, but soon finds friends in many people. The friends he has the closest relations to are Isabel and Samuel. Isabel grew up in Tabletop with Edger. She always spied on Edger, and eventually she picked up on things he did and became just like him. Samuel is a boy who lives in the highest level of Atherton called the Highlands. Edger Climbed up to the Highlands so he may find someone who could read a book that was left for him. Once he gets to the Highlands he meets a boy the same age as him called Samuel. Just like Edger, Samuel is all alone because he is a child among elders who lives in the house of power. So Samuel agreed to help Edger read and understand the book that was left for him. Through these two characters coming to, and helping Edger the theme of friendship is shown to the readers of this book.

"A faithful friend is the medicine of life."
- Apocrypha

                    Hello Edger. It’s me Isabel, I wrote you this poem to hopefully make your day better.

"A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Hold on Samuel...I'm coming."

                                             "Here you go Samuel, please take care of it."

"It says, 'A book of secret things...for Edger."



“The antidote for fifty enemies is one friend”.

  -Aristotle



Hello Isabel! I got your poem, and I would like to thank you for it. You did that for me, so I’ll give you the recipe for making sweet dough out of fig trees.

1. make sure the tree you pick to do this is from the third harvest
2. split the tree open
3. pull out the spongy orange core of the tree
4. take an old dry fig, then mash it up to make a powder out of it
5. take the powder and mix it in with the core until it reaches a brown color
6. mix the mixture you have just made with a little water

After you do all of this the dough will taste like sweet cocoa. I hope you enjoy being able to make it.

                                                                                                -Edger

“A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.”

Reflection

Let me take some time to explain who I chose the genres I did. First, I chose to do a poem. The poem is from Isabel and it was for edger. In the poem she is saying and expressing her feelings for him. In the book she starts to like him, so I thought I would show it. Seconded, I drew a picture of a route that Edger takes to get up to Samuel. It book didn’t say how he got he way up every time he did, so I thought of showing a route he mapped out so he doesn’t get into danger. Next, I did the pictures and captions. My first picture is of someone climbing up a cliff. It shows Edger climbing up to the highlands to see Samuel. The next picture is of someone holding a book. I used this to represent that Edger is giving Samuel the book that was left for him. The last picture is an open book. It shows that Samuel is reading Edger the book. Then lastly is a recipe for sweet fig dough. In the novel I read the fig and fig tree are someone of the most important things in the land because almost everything was made from them. The recipe is from Edger to Isabel saying thank you and doing something for her.

The poem shows my theme of friendship because Isabel wrote a poem about their friendship together and how friends should be there for each other always. The drawing of Edger’s route to see Samuel shows the theme by him having a way to see his friend every time without running into any surprises or danger. The pictures and captions show the whole process of edger getting to Samuel and having Samuel read to Edger because Edger cannot read, like a friend would do. Lastly, the recipe to Isabel shows Edger’s thanks for the poem she had wrote him, and because of that he decided to be a nice, friendly person and do something for her.

I have a big heart
I guess you kind of knew that from the start
Sometimes life can be hard
It's like we are playing with a deck of cards
I want you to know I think of you quite often
Too often some might say
But what they don't realize
I can feel the pain
Sometimes we need someone to blame
Just so you know
If you ever need a friend
Or someone who understands
I can be a shoulder to cry on
I can lend an ear if you need someone to listen
Whenever you need an extra step I can give you a gentle push
If you ever need a guide....
Then I'll be by your side
I can lend you a hand
Sometimes we need someone to understand
God sends us guides
When sometimes all we want to do is cover our head and cry
That's when we need a friend. Even though we want to sigh.
I may be too much for you and you don't understand.
But do know this I have been there too my friend

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."

Master of Puppets

HELLO  ONCE AGAIN AUDIANCE!!!! how have you been since the last time we talked? your looking good! have you been working out?! alriight sosososoo, this week i named my blog after METALLICA's song Master of Puppets. where to start with this song...... well the intro of course! Master has the most famous opening chords in all of the rock world because of it! this song is my favorit song ever! sooo i guess i'll give some song facts because i know that much about it :3............ The "Master" of puppets is a reference to drugs. Throughout the song the "Master" controls you and your life. This is evident in lyrics like, "chop your breakfast on a mirror," "The Master Of Puppets is pulling your strings, twisting your mind and smashing your dreams." Drugs is the Master while the drug user is the puppet. In the song James Hetfield plays the first solo during the slow instrumental part, Kirk Hammet plays the final, fast heavy solo. While playing the solo, Kirk pulled the top string off of the fretboard of the guitar (usually done by accident when someone bends the high string down instead of up) to make the really high siren-like sound. Everyone loved the way it sounded on the track so they kept it that way. At the end of the song you can hear a backwars playing guitar, and the bands echoed laughter. sooo now that i said that ill put some tabs in for you guys!

english story

About three hundred years ago, on the estate of Lord Cassilus between Ayrshire and Galloway, lay a great moor, unrelieved by any trees or vegetation.

            It was rumored that unwary travelers had been intercepted and murdered there, and that no investigation ever revealed what had happened to them. People living in a nearby hamlet

believed that in the dead of night they sometimes heard a sudden cry of anguish; and a shepherd

who had lost his way once declared that he had seen three mysterious figures struggling together,

until one of them, with a frightful scream, sank suddenly into the earth. So terrifying was this

place that at last no one remained there, except one old woman and her two sons, who were too

poor to flee, as their neighbors had done. Travelers occasionally begged a night’s lodging at their

cottage, rather than continue their journey across the moor in the darkness, and even by day no

one traveled that way except in companies of at least two or three people.

            One stormy November night, a peddler boy was overtaken by darkness on the moor. Terrified by the solitude, he repeated to himself the promises of Scripture, and so struggled toward the old cottage, which he had visited the year before in a large company of travelers, and where he felt assured of a welcome. Its light guided him from afar, and he knocked at the door, but at first received no answer. He then peered through a window and saw that the occupants were all at their accustomed occupations: the old woman was scrubbing the floor and strewing it with sand; her two sons seemed to be thrusting something large and heavy into a great chest, which they then hastily locked. There was an air of haste about all this which puzzled the waiting boy outside.

            He tapped lightly on the window, and they all started up, with consternation on their faces, and one of the men suddenly darted out at the door, seized the boy roughly by the shoulder and dragged him inside.

        He said, trying to laugh, “1 am only the poor peddler who visited you last year.”

        “Are you alone?” cried the old woman in a harsh, deep voice.

        “Alone here—and alone in the whole world,” replied the boy sadly.

        “Then you are welcome,” said one of the men with a sneer.

Their words filled the boy with alarm, and the confusion and desolation of the formerly

neat and orderly cottage seemed to show signs of recent violence.

            The curtains had been torn down from the bed to which he was shown, and though he begged for a light to burn until he fell asleep, his terror kept him long awake.

            In the middle of the night he was awakened by a single cry of distress. He sat up and listened, but it was not repeated, and he would have lain down to sleep again, but suddenly his eye fell on a stream of blood slowly trickling under the door of his room. In terror he sprang to the door, and through a chink he saw that the victim outside was only a goat. But just then he overheard the voices of the two men, and their words transfixed him with horror.

        “I wish all the throats we cut were as easy,” said one.

        ”Did you ever hear such a noise as the old gentleman made last night?”

        “Ah, the Murder Hole’s the thing for me,” said the other.

        “One plunge and the fellow’s dead and buried in a moment.”

        “How do you mean to dispatch the lad in there?” asked the old woman in a harsh whisper, and one of the men silently drew his bloody knife across his throat to answer.

            The terrified boy crept to his window and managed to let himself down without a sound. But as he stood wondering which way to turn, a dreadful cry rang out:

        “The boy has escaped—let loose the bloodhound.”

He ran for his life, blindly, but all too soon he heard the dreadful baying

of the hound and the voices of the men in pursuit. Suddenly he stumbled and fell on a heap of

rough stones which cut him in every limb, so that his blood poured over the stones. He staggered

to his feet and ran on; the hound was so near that he could almost feel its breath on his back. But

suddenly it smelled the blood on the stones, and, thinking the chase at an end, it lay down and

refused to go farther after the same scent. The boy fled on and on till morning, and when at last

he reached a village, his pitiable state and his fearful story roused such wrath that three gibbets

were at once set upon the moor, and before night the three villain had been captured and had

confessed their guilt. The bones of their victims were later discovered, and with great difficulty

brought up from the dreadful hole with its narrow aperture into which they had been thrust.
