Katy Perry-Kesha Remix

http://youtu.be/d1EVRCYGUAc

I thought this was pretty interesting, considering were covering the Remix topic in class. Here is the song California Gurls by Katy Pery and the song Tik Tok by Ke$ha being remixed into each other. I didn't even catch the similarites until i came across this video on Youtube. Enjoy (:

 

Remix

So, you told us to post about the remixes in real life. The song "Nothing Lasts Forever" by Maroon 5 is definitely part of this subject. Of course its not very popular because the famous Kanye West Remixed this song and called it Heard 'Em Say. If you listen to the chorus of Kanye's song, it is the exact same chorus as Maroon 5's song. Not many people knew that this remix even existed because Kanye was more famous at the time this song came out, than Adam Levine and Maroon 5 were.

Self Reliance-David Guetta

So after watching the David Guetta video, i found out how self reliance ties into it. all the artists, including himself, all live life their way. they dont follow people or copy any one. they "rock to the beat of their own drum," they set their own stage.

Ad Hominem

I was at a baby shower today, and my two cousins were talking about the types of icing on the cupcakes. One of them was sure that the icing was some sort of chocolate, the other knew that it was chocolate pudding. When they were argueing back and forth, the one who knew for a fact it was the pudding, had for sure declared that it wasnt icing at all, the other cousin had said, "well you know what else isn't icing, YOU RACE." I right away grabbed my phone and wrote down what he had said because i knew it was an Ad Hominem.

Im Sorry

I feel like I haven't been on my blog in forever. I'm so sorry, I know you work so much and I feel terrible. I know time is not the issue, but seriously I am working so hard to find time to do this. This weekened I plan to get my blog up to date.

Midterm Study Schedule

On Mondays and Wednesday I have Cheer Practice in Ventura, so for the hour and a half car ride there and back, im going to study each list for each direction. So on the way there will be week one. For the ride back home will be week two. And so on and so on. The days i dont have practice i can take an hour each night while im in bed and study the other lists. Since I know the majority of the words it most likely wont take me the whole amount of the time alotted. I can use the Vocab lists I hand wrote in class, and if wordt comes to worst I can just go on my blog and review using my phone. Thank God I have a smartphone or else I wouldnt have as many opportunities as i do with one.
