A Hard Days Night

The movie, A Hard Days Night, is full of odd sarcasm and humor that is now mostly out of date. I still liked te movie but I feel that the most of the jokes are no longer relevant. The way that the Beatles act together is still humorous and it is obvious that the boys liked to hang out together and had very good chemistry. The boys pull different pranks throughout the movie and like to have fun together. The musical soundtrack throughout the movie is fantastic and the live performances by the Beatles are very well played.

Neil Peart

Neil Peart, of the Canadian rock band Rush, is the best drummer of all-time in my opinion. His ability to play all different types of music and keep different beats and switch between them is very impressive. I love the different ways he is able on play the drums and his ability on the drums makes me like to listen to Rush. Neil Peart is the best drummer ever and will never be challenged or that right in my mind.

The Beatles second album

The Beatles second album, "With the Beatles" is fantastically done and is well put together. The album keeps and up tempo beat through most of its songs, also the combo of fantastic originals and wonderfully done covers makes the album whole. The way the album consists of originals split up by covers gives the album a nice pattern throughout. My favorite song on the album, due to its combination of up tempo beat and lovely lyrics, is "All My Loving." The song is well song and well played and keeps your foot tapping throughout the whole song. The rest of the album is also very good but this song is my favorite. I can't find a song on the album that I do not like and doesn't keep my attention. The whole album is fantastic!!

George Strait's last trip to Austin

George Strait, arguably the greatest country music artist of all time, makes his last your trip to Austin on January 19, 2014. George Strait has had an amazing career and one of the last chances to see him perform live is in Austin!! Strait has been a stable source of great country music for decades. Since he is retiring from touring after this tour, seeing him one more time would be amazing! Also, being at his last trip to Austin would be something you could talk about for years to come. If you have never heard George Strait, go to YouTube and jut watch his videos because he is fantastic. His voice soothes and his style is trendsetting. I will always love George Strait.

Tickets go on sale December 7th and are about 60 dollars a piece. Don't miss out on seeing one of the greatest music artists of any kind finish off his career.

Luke Bryan

Luke Bryan is one of my favorite country artists. I really enjoy his upbeat style and generally happy nature. Also, when he does I slower more sappy (for lack of a better word) songs he is still good. He is able to pull off different styles because he has a good voice. He is a good performer that gets the crowd going which is cool. Songs o his that I like, just to mention a few, are "Drunk on You" "Rain is a Good Thing" and "Country Girl." I believe he does a pretty goo job o factual g more country and not too poppy like much of country music has become. I believe that he will be a guy who can carry the torch for country music for a whole now that George Strait is retiring from tours and Alan Jackson an others are eating older.

The Beatles: The Beginning

The Beatles original album was pretty good. I liked their originals a lot more then their covers. Their originals were more enthusiastic and upbeat. That being said my favorite song on the album was a cover. Twist and Shout is my favorite song on the album. I like the way John Lennon sounds in the song and the tempo of the song is fantastic. I only recently learned that Twist and Shout was a cover when Mr. A said it was; that song sounds more like the originals on the album than the other covers.

Another thing I like about the album is the variety of the different subjects they touch on. I know that most (or maybe even all of them) are about girls but they touch on different topics underneath that one main topic. This variety in sub-topics is cool because it allows the whole album to be about the same main topic without being too repetitive.

What I didn't enjoy about the album were the slower songs. They just didn't appeal to me the same way. I feel like the Beatles sound better when in a higher tempo song. The songs still were performed well but I didn't like them as much.

Another crazy thing is that they recorded the whole album in one day!! That is insane!! I cannot comprehend that they actually did that, it is unheard of nowadays when it takes people like 2 years to record an album.

Chili's is good

Recently I have recieved some flack for saying that I love the food at Chili's. I love Chili's. It is very good. My favorite meal to get there is the Honey Chipolte Chicken Crispers. The Honey Chipolte sauce is fantastic, and the corn on the cob that comes with it that makes the meal be extremely filling. Also, you can get this meal as a part of the 2 for $20 deal and get an appetizer. My usual choice of appetizer is the Texas Style Cheese Fries. They are fantastic and come topped with bacon and jalapeƱos. The combo of the Honey Chiplote Chicken Crispers and the Texas Cheese Fries makes for a very delicious meal.

This is my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I know some people think that eating what is basically chicken tenders covered in Chiplote sauce is childish and immature, but I don't care, it still tastes good.

Where will America be in 20 years?

Something that people overlook a lot as we go through our everyday life is how will things be different in the future. Things have change a lot in my lifetime alone. When I was born almost 17 years ago now computers were just being invented and people were not even dreamin about having something more powerful than the computer. Well now my iPhone is more technologically advanced then those computers. I can do things like write a blog from my phone and post it onto the Internet. 17 years ago most people didn't even have the Internet on their home computers. In 20 years America will look completely different if you ask me. China and other rising powers have control too much of the manufacturing done in the world and will eventually realize that they can cut off counties like the USA from simple nesecities. UnlessAmerica begins to make some of their own things we will be screwed. Also, how many states will we have? 50? 49 maybe? Will states secede or will we add places like Puerto Rico or Mexico? I feel like America is going to be very different within my lifetime.
