But basically this shows the kind of music I listen to, if there's anyone out there who thinks otherwise about the
musical selections here, then sorry about your luck!
If these don't show up, so sorry, if you want to check them out, almost all of these are on YouTube. If you look and see something like videos that MsJagger 19 likes or something with
that user name, it's me:) That's my username, MsJagger19

What's on My MP3?

This is what my MP3 looks like, I can't afford an iPod, too pricey!

I was reading people's blogs, commenting on the cool stuff they put on them when I seen one that kind of inspired me to do this one.


On my MP3, there's a lot of stuff people don't like, nothing inappropriate, mostly Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, The Beatles, Aerosmith, a little Foreigner, Jon Bon Jovi, etc. I'm probably the only one who graduated from high school in 2008 that is a massive fan of British rock, Latin, R&B, etc.


If you love The Rolling Stones, then I'd suggest checking out their Bridges to Babylon album, alot of the stuff on that one is newer, but still good, some of the songs are original, but other than that, totally awesome, and if you want to catch a glimpse of the Rolling Stones in their heyday when they were first getting started, then let me suggest the Hot Rocks album, alot of the tracks on there are their early stuff, from 1964-1971.
And if you're looking for all their really good tracks, then check out their Forty Licks album, taken from the fact that it has forty songs on it, thus the name Forty Licks. There are a couple tracks on there I especially love, both are on Disc 2, You Got Me Rocking and Emotional Rescue. Those 2 are 2 really good tracks. My favorite ones in The Rolling Stones are it's lead singer Mick Jagger and it's rhythm guitarist Ronnie Wood as most would call him. The reason I like these 2 is because at Mick's age, he is built like a brick house, he's in incredible shape and so is the rest. Some would consider it weird that I find a man Mick Jagger's age very handsome, but that's who I am. Ronnie Wood is my other favorite because when he's on stage, he looks like he's just up there having fun playing guitar, he looks like a little kid just having fun. And plus, he's one freakin awesome guitarist.


And if you're into more mellow British rock, then let The Beatles be for you. They're all the glam and glitz of a rock band but with the mellowness of the 1960s British Invasion-era. The Beatles 1 album is definitely one to check out, it has all their good stuff on it, I guess that's why they call it 1, all their #1 hits. Unfortunately, John Lennon and George Harrison weren't around to see how popular the Beatles were, but they live on in the form of people playing Beatles hits. And if it's Paul McCartney you like, then the Band on the Run album is for you. It's pretty good. I'm just glad that George Harrison and his wife Patti weren't with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards the night they got arrested by the London police for drug possession. I really don't think they would have needed to spend time in jail because of something that Keith may have done and dragged Mick into.


If Latin music is more you, I have that on it too. Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Ritchie Valens are the only Latin singers I listen to. I love their music because it's calming, romantic. All 3 of these singers have greatest hits albums out, and along with other albums. For Shakira, the She Wolf album is definitely worth checking into, the main track on there, She Wolf, has a nice Latin beat to get you up and dancing.


And if R&B is more your thing, I got just the thing for ya. Aaliyah is an R&B singer based out of Brooklyn, that's where she's from. Her music is all romantic and good, there's one track that should be checked into, Try Again, this song is really good, and if you seen the movie Romeo Must Die with Jet Li in it, he's in the video for the song. Unfortunately, poor Aaliyah is no longer with us anymore. She's R&B-ing up in heaven, she was sadly killed in a plane crash, but she lives on through her music. And Seal is a good one too, he's R&B as well, one of his tracks, Kiss From a Rose, is eerily romantic, and yet very addictive, because if you listen to it once, you might be tempted to listen to it again. As for me, I love all the old-school R&B, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, etc.


If you're into just rock and hard rock, then go in the direction of Aerosmith, Foreigner, etc. Those 2 bands I love listening to, I have a favorite in both bands. In Aerosmith, my 2 favorites are the lead singer Steven Tyler and the lead guitarist Joe Perry. Both are very handsome men and they can really rock on stage. It seems like they're the only ones you'd notice on stage, if they played in concert. And in the band Foreigner, my favorite is the lead singer Kelly Hansen, he's cute and he can really hit those high notes. For these bands, for Aerosmith, I recommend either the Devil's Got a New Disguise album, the O Yeah! album or the Big Ones album. All 3 of those are VERY good albums and have all of Aerosmith's really awesome songs. For Foreigner, I recommend the No End in Sight album, it has all their good stuff on 2 CD's. More than enough Foreigner to go around!


And if you're totally clueless about what these guys look like, here are some pics. Because you'll probably read this and think "Who are these people?" Well, here are some pics to clear things up if you don't know what they look like:
The Rolling Stones                                   

                       

My favorites in this pic are the one to the far right: Ronnie Wood(rhythm guitarist),and the one 2nd from the right,                          next to Ronnie holding the sunglasses: Mick Jagger(lead singer). These 2 are totally awesome. Plus, Mick is really hot still. I know this may sound strange coming from someone who was around AFTER these guys came out, but I really think he's sexy still! But I guess it's because I sort of have a thing for English guys with cute accents.

Aerosmith                                             Paul McCartney

                                   

Shakira                                             Enrique Iglesias

                                     

Seal                                                                  Aaliyah                                                             

                                 

The Beatles

My favorites in this picture are: Paul McCartney(2nd from right), George Harrison(far right) and John Lennon(far left). The reason they're my favorite is because Paul still entertains today, in this pic George Harrison was really hot, and, he cared alot about others. Thank God he wasn't there the night Mick Jagger and Keith Richards got arrested for drug possession. And John Lennon, I'm with him on giving peace a chance. It never hurts to try and  solve things nonviolently w/o having to resort to violence.

As you can see, my tastes in music are ALL over the place, in all kinds of decades and stuff, from the groovy and British 60s, to awesome 80s, and from rock to R&B, to British rock, you name it!
Sorry if the pictures keep not showing up, sorry about this.

About Me

Look, I know I may have done multiple blogs about this, bur I'm not sure if anyone reads these things. So I'll basically tell you a little about me. I'm now 20 years old, my birthday is on Oct. 1. I have a dad named Steve, who works as a Sorter Machine Operator at US Bank, he basically sorts checks all day and makes sure they go where they need to go, he works the 1st shift, 7am-3pm. My mom, Brenda, works at Fifth Third Processing Solutions LLC, not sure about the last part, she basically works in Fraud, making sure people aren't becoming victims of identity theft. She's on the phones all day, locking/blocking cards for protection and she gets repaid by hearing people yell at her all day. My sister, Jessie, is in her senior year in high school. She recently got a tattoo, an Ed Hardy one, of a skull that says Love Kills Slowly, she loves it, and she was practically hitting on the tattoo artist. My step dad, Greg, also works at US Bank, he's a Reconciler, meaning he and a few other people prepare checks to go in to the sorter room. He works the 3rd shift, 5pm-3am. 


When I get out of college and get a job, I hopefully want to get a job as a graphic designer, and work somewhere cool. And when it comes to living somewhere, there are 3 places, well, more like 4 places that I would love to live in if I couldn't live anywhere else. 1st: my main favorite place that I would live in if possible is China. The culture is so endlessly fascinating to me, I've been interested in Chinese history/culture since 7th grade, so this fascination has gone on for a long time, 2nd: Japan, it's basically the same reason as China, the culture/history of Japan is endlessly fascinating to me. 3rd: Australia. It has a wild west feel to it, and it would have to be 1 of 3 cities along the coast: Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney, so that way every night I can see the sunset over the ocean and the sunrise over the ocean every morning. 4th: London, England. This place because the culture is so similar to ours that it wouldn't be much of a difference, the only obstacle I'd face is the currency issue. Over there, dollars aren't the currency, pounds, quid,etc is. But I'd quickly learn to adjust.


Like anyone who has a goal to do something before they die, I have a long list, a 'bucket list' if you call it that. My main thing is I want to travel, to places far and exotic, like China, Japan, places that are really cool, like London, Sydney, Australia. And another goal for me is to see one of my fave bands in concert, The Rolling Stones, I'm bound and determined to see them play live. It may sound strange that someone who is 20 years old, in college wanting to see these guys, but their music totally kicks butt in music! They've been around for ever and I've listened to them for a few years. Another goal I have is to go rock climbing, the only obstacle I have with that is I have a small case of asthma and I think that would interfere with rock climbing. It's one of the many interests I have. I have alot of interests and goals that I want to accomplish in the future, and as for concerts, I'd love to see Paul McCartney too, his music is so good, and it's romantic. Honestly, how much better can you get than that?


My fave music is The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Paul McCartney, basically British rock. I'm a massive fan of it, and at home I often get made fun of for listening to these guys, especially The Stones, as many people call them, my favorite ones in the group are Ronnie Wood, as he is called, Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts, Keith Richards I'm not too big on, I mean, he's a good guitarist, but he got into too much trouble with drugs. But I do love other music, Latin music is really awesome and I'm totally into that stuff, but it has to be either Shakira or Enrique Iglesias, because they're the only ones I'll listen to. And also R&B I'm massively huge on, it has to be Seal, Stevie Wonder, Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Aaliyah because their music totally kicks butt in the R&B world.


I also have a Facebook account, strange to hear me saying that because a few years ago, I was so hesitant to start an account, not sure why and back in 2010 I had to start one because of school. And you won't believe the amount of people I share stuff in common with, most of the people I'm friends with on Facebook share a common like: The Rolling Stones, I kid you not, most of the people I'm friends with on Facebook like The Rolling Stones like me. When it comes to movies, however, some people will say that they only watch certain movies or whatever, I'm pretty open minded about this sort of stuff, I'll pretty much watch anything, even if it seems weird to others. Like this one movie, Freejack, it has Mick Jagger from the Stones in it, it is really weird, but it's okay in it's own way. My dad says he's not the greatest actor, but I say different. I think Mick is really sexy when he acts, and I never actually hear him talk before, like when he sings, he has this almost high pitched voice, but when he talks, he has this real deep voice which is sort of sexy, something about it is strangely sexy. Alot of the actors I like are Asian, like Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, Lucy Liu, B.D. Wong. Not sure why I like these people as my favorite actors, but they are just good, that must be the reason.


Basically, overall, I'm a very tolerant person, one thing that really ticks me off is when someone is being bullied because of race/skin color, etc. I don't like racism/discrimination, if you really want to, pardon my French, piss me off, do that and you'll see how I am when I am angry. I'm a very nice person, I treat everyone with kindness and respect, I'll treat you nice if you treat me nice, but if you treat me like crap, don't expect any respect back because I'll treat you like crap right back! If I see someone being bullied because of something like race/skin color, ethnicity, etc, that person is going to get an earful from me. It may sound like I'm very against this, but I am. In my family, my aunt is a very biased person, she doesn't see the good in people like I do, she only sees the outside. She only notices if the person is black, Asian, Italian, Latino, etc. And I love my dad dearly, but sometimes he can be offensive, I always tell him that I really don't like him saying thing about people. Like sometimes if we're watching something, that'll usually get him started. Like one time we, as in my sister, me and him were watching this movie called The Full Monty, which I may add is a really awesome movie, and he heard the way they were talking in the movie, all of them had a deep British accent and he started mocking the way they were talking. Sorry, but I really HATE the way people treat others because of race/skin color, etc. Racism/discrimination is the most evil thing anyone ever came up with. You really want to piss me off, do that, and you'll get a very large earful from me!

Music and more!

Ah, sweet glorious music, an international language everyone can connect on. I'm not really into any certain type of music, but I will absolutely not listen to rap. It doesn't make any sense to me, and sometimes I hear lyrics for these rap songs and sometimes they are about raping/killing someone, someone stealing a girlfriend, stealing or something bad. No one wants to hear a song that has to do with drugs, rape/murder, or something like that, and no one definitely wants to hear a song that uses racial/ethnic slurs and bad words.


I also must say something important-- Today is the anniversary of Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat to a white man. It's the anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycotts. I say to Rosa Parks, way to go! I love hearing and learning about people like Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr, etc. All they wanted was equality, and look what happens- Martin Luther King Jr, gets assassinated for believing in a world where blacks people and white people and everyone live together in perfect harmony, Rosa Parks gets arrested for refusing to give her seat to a white man, Nelson Mandela gets convicted of political treason just because he believed in a world united and almost spends half his life in prison for what he believes in, I say it's high time for a change. I say that people need to stop the hate before it gets out of control. I know this blog is supposed to be about music, but I think this is a reason for celebrating. Rosa Parks is a wonderful person, she did what she believed in, and she gets arrested? No way, totally unfair.


Here are some links to some music videos of Aerosmith, a band I listen to:
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2138674-Aerosmith: Rag Doll
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2165470-Aerosmith: The Other Side
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2164165-Aerosmith: Eat the Rich. This video starts out a little weird, and some of the lyrics have bad words, but it's an overall good song
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2138672-Aerosmith: Fallin' in Love(Is Hard on the Knees). It's a suggestive song, and some of the lyrics are gross, but it's a good song
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2138669-Aerosmith: I Don't Want to Miss a Thing. This is PERFECT for couples because it talks about being romantic


Here are some Rolling Stones music videos:

Here is a video of the song Try Again by Aaliyah:

http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--159484907-Rihanna:Disturbia
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--45562928-Rihanna:Don't Stop the Music, definite party song

If it seems like alot of links and stuff, I do apologize. I think the links to the music videos will show what kind of music I'm into. And music seems to be an international language almost, everyone somehow connects with music. And I usually figure music is something everyone can connect to.

About Me

 The title explains it all. I thought in this blog I would introduce myself to the blog world. I would tell you about my family and a little about me. I know I did this in a couple of other blogs and my first initial blog, but I love learning new things about people. Because I look at it this way- whenever you meet someone new, it's a new opportunity to make a new friend.



My name is Caitlin Clark, I'm 20 years old and I recently had my birthday on October 1. My dad's name is Steven, he works as a Sorter Machine Operator and his job has him sending checks through a large sorting machine and he makes sure they go where they are needed. My mom's name is Brenda and her job is Fraud Detection, she works for Fifth Third Processing Solutions LLC, meaning this place was bought out or something by Fifth Third, she locks/blocks cards to protect people from fraud, but this usually ends up getting her an earful from people who are mad that their cards were blocked, and she tells them it's for their protection, but they usually don't listen. My sister Jessica is in her final year at Bellevue High School, she's a senior and she can't wait to graduate, she says there's too much drama where she goes. I believe her, I was glad to get out of that place, more drama than an episode of Jersey Shore, minus the Italian chicks. My step dad Greg works the 2nd shift at US Bank, the same place as my dad. He works from 5pm-2am, and sometimes depending on what time they finish, that determines what time they get home. He's a Reconciler, meaning he prepares checks to go into the Sorter Room.



When it comes to likes and interests, everyone has certain interests/likes. When it comes to me, if there was a nickname for me, it would probably be British Invasion or something, mainly because alot of the stuff I like is out of England, mainly from hanging around with my step dad. I don't watch TV much, but when I do, my favorite TV shows are Top Gear, CSI:NY, the new Hawaii 5-0, Law and Order:SVU, the First 48, and Cold Case, and you can also look me up on Facebook, yeah, I got an account with Facebook, there really wasn't a choice in the matter, it was for Ad Club here at Gateway and it doesn't really bother me having an account with this thing, I've met people who share alot in common with me. In music, my tastes are stuck in British 60s, bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones I could listen to all day long and all night long if given the chance. I also like other bands, like Aerosmith, Foreigner, Deep Purple, Van Halen, the Police. And singers, like Rihanna, Enrique Iglesias, Shakira, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney I like too because their music isn't about drugs, sex like most of the rap music out there is. And alot of the movies I watch have one thing in common: they're probably martial arts movies, with people like Jet Li in it. Him, Chow Yun-fat are 2 of my favorite actors, you never hear anything bad about them. And Hugh Jackman is also one of my favorite actors because he can sing, dance and act, sort of sexy.



I'm not like most young adults. In high school, when most teens were having sex, drinking at a young age, smoking, etc, I was trying to ignore all that, but in reality, it was hard trying to go every day and ignore the peer pressure. I was unpopular because I didn't have sex with every guy in school, drink alcohol or do drugs. The 2 main reasons I didn't is because I'm not like that and I think it screws your life up and if I did, I'd be pushing up daisies, my dad would kill me. I was smarter than most of my high school peers. but now that I'm 20 years old, I'm still the same person I've always been- nice, considerate of others, a little shy, not very talkative. I was that way in high school and I was considered one of the school nerds because I aced every year of my Spanish class and everyone else had to come to me for help in learning the language that would let them graduate. For once I felt smarter than ever. But I was glad to help them.

 You see, I'm the kind of person that I always help someone when it's needed and I get a little happy when I do something nice for others. In fact, if it's possible to get a high from being nice, I was higher than a kite recently because I was able to buy something for my step dad, sister, dad and mom for Christmas and I still have a few things to pick up, my step-dad is a major fan of The Rolling Stones and he has every one of their albums and I asked him if there were any he wanted and he told me the Bridges to Babylon album. For my sis I have to pick up a book about this athlete she likes, Apolo Ohno, she likes him. so you can see my holidays are filled with shopping and everything.



One of my favorite TV shows is Dancing with the Stars, but recently it has been sucking eggs, that Bristol Palin NEEDS TO GO! She is not a good dancer and I heard there was a rumor that her mom has people calling in multiple times and blocking up the phone lines when people vote just so her daughter can win! It's not right, she is not a good dancer. If Jennifer Grey loses, I'm not watching it anymore. she could easily beat out that good for nothing, diva dancer Bristol. She must obviously think that just because she got knocked up when she was a teen and had a child that she is some kind of superstar. And her mom Sarah adopting a child with special needs, I can understand she loves this child, but I personally think that she is using that as leverage to get people to vote for her when election comes around. You don't use a child with special needs to gain popularity. But that Bristol NEEDS TO GO! I don't think she is a good dancer, now that I think about it, some of the other dancers they had on in some of the different seasons were twenty times better than her, that tall black haired Russian guy, Maksim Chermosvsky, I think is his name, he was a good dancer and he was HOT! He was my fave because he was a good dancer! And that singer Brandi I was really gunning for the win spot, I was really hoping she would beat Bristol. And I thought of something last night: If Bristol wins, everyone stand up and boo her, to show her their disgust with her. Her family is totally taking over everywhere and when Sarah McCain, I think is her name, said that Bristol not voting was stupid that voting on Dancing with the Stars was more important to her, I'm with Miss McCain. It seems that to Bristol, the only thing important to her is winning. What about that poor child she brought into this world? That poor little angel is starting to have a Kate Gosselin- his mother is too consumed with winning that she pays no attention to her son.

Holidays

Ah, Christmas is right around the corner, does it seem like the holidays get here quicker and quicker every year? It certainly seems that way for me. And this year, I have money to go shopping and I have some Muy grande shopping to do. For my dad, I want to get him this old sci-fi B-movie from the 1950s, it's about this town in California that gets overrun by giant ants, it's called Them!. He loves that kind of stuff. For my sister, I want to get her this CD of this country band called Sugarland. Hopefully she likes it. For my mom, I want to get her this book she said she wanted, it's on the mob. She loves learning anything about organized crime. For my step-dad, I want to get him this set of cars, he collects car models and I seen one in Eastgate mall that he'll love.

But what I mainly tire of is seeing/hearing the commercials about these people buying people expensive Caddies as gifts, expensive game systems, expensive iPods, you name it. The greed has totally and completely ruined Christmas, last time I checked, Christmas was about the birth of Christ for God's sake. It's not about the gifts, it's not about how much you can spend, how much the gifts are worth, how many gifts you get, it's about spending time with the ones you love, it's about the birth of Christ, spend time with your family, don't care about the greed of Christmas bargain sales. I see commercials showing people buying their kids these expensive game systems, like PS3, Wii, XBox 360, you name it, expensive music systems, like iPod Nanos, iPod Shuffles, iPhone, etc. Wake up people! Christmas is not about the greed, it's about spending time with your family, it's about the birth of Christ, for crying out loud! In my family, we don't worry about the worth of the gifts, we spend time together by putting up the tree, decorations, etc. But in past years, it's getting to the point where we actually have to decide to do it, because it'll go down again in a few days anyway. Why can't it just be like the old days where Christmas was exciting? Where it wasn't about the greed, where you couldn't sleep the night before because you wondered what Santa brought you? Where's those days? 'Cuz they sure aren't here.

And the day after Thanksgiving, watch going out. That is the most dreaded day of all, that's when people go out and turn into complete kamikazes on the road, they're all in such a rush to get stupid stuff. My dad made the mistake of going out last year on Black Friday, I think that's what they call it, to get a gift for my sister. I also had something to pick up. I told him that I'd be in the entertainment section of the Alexandria Meijer's to pick something up and I had to push and shove my way through because people were crowding the aisles, all I had to get was an old 1950s sci-fi movie called The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. I got it and got out. By the time I got back to the video game dept. where they were, they had just gotten into the aisle. My dad was planning to get my sis The Sims 2 Pets, where you can create a Sim and a pet for them. Boy, we were glad to get out of that store, we got donuts at Dunkin donuts that morning and did it taste good! We got first dibs on donuts before anyone, even before the Alexandria Police we seen pulling into the lot in their massive SUV. Suckers!

And here's a music video, it's of the song Try Again by Aaliyah.

Music

I figure everyone out there has that one band/artist that has their devotion. Well, here's one video I like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhHODhTIvgo. It's a Stones video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed36UQX8kXQ
If you watch this video, some would think the lead singer is gay, he's not! Both of these links are for videos by The Stones.
If you wonder why I put these on here, I just now figured out how to add video to these things! I feel like a caveman, not knowing how to do stuff.
Here's another one, for this realy awesome music video by Aaliyah, she is AWESOME!
http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/--2138592. It has Jet Li in it, he's soooooooooooooooooooooooooo sexy!


I figure music is like an international language everyone can connect on.

Music, the show Glee, etc!

yeah, the title, real creative huh? Well here it is: Has anyone out in the blogosphere seen that show Glee? It's totally awesome! I love that show, i love how they sing songs at the end and sometimes they sing songs i like, on this episode, the crew was watchign a video of the gym teacher singing Physical by Olivia Newton-John, I like that song alot.
And I still cannot believe Florence Henderson got the boot on Dancing with the Stars, it should have been Bristol, she needs to be home taking care of that kid of hers instead of flashing her face all over TV and the news!
I would put music videos on here, but I'm clueless about it, so go on the internet and look around for Try Again by Aaliyah, look for the video of that, it's totally awesome! she's one of my fave R&B singers!

Weekend/random thoughts

Weekend/Random thoughts: Yes, the title is what it is, my weekend and just little random thoughts flying around. I'm not sure if you can put pictures on this thing, but I'll give it a try. Sorry if the link doesn't work.


This is what I watched Friday night, for some odd reason, my dad wanted to watch it too and he kept cheering Jet Li on whenever he fought in the movie as if Jet Li was going to hear him, That basically was the highlight of my weekend. And I also got to buy something with some of my birthday money-- it may not sound interesting to others, but I bought a CD of this R&B singer Aaliyah, her I Care 4 U album, it has this really awesome song called Try Again, I'm totally addicted to it and I'm definitely going to buy this movie, I'm a megahuge fan of Jet Li, he's really sexy, and a totally hot Chinese actor! I love his sexy brown eyes! And last night, my sister watched a Green Day concert on TV and my dad said Billy Joe Armstrong had a filthy mouth because he kept saying the F word alot and it was obviously turning my sister on, but then again, she has a thing for Billy, she thinks he's cute, she loves the way he dresses, his tattoos, everything!

Music Lovers

Hello everyone out there in the world. My name is Caitlin Clark, I'm 19 and this is my 2nd year at Gateway Community and Technical College. I'm a huge multi-tasker, I'm the kind of person who likes to listen to music, eat food, drink something and work on the computer ALL at the same time. In fact, I'm multitasking now. Unfortunately, multitasking isn't always good. One of the major goals for the near future for me is to graduate with an Associates Degree in Graphic Design. One of the long time goals for me is to travel the world, I would like to learn a few foreign languages as well, for some interesting reason, I would like to learn how to speak Chinese and Japanese, some think that I'm nuts, because they will say that those languages are difficult. I have also had my share of quirky moments, like when I was born, I had to have tubes put into my ears to prevent the once-a-month seizures that I would often have. This one doctor told my parents that I was mentally challenged because I could walk or talk. What really worried and angered my parents is that one day, when I was at a daycare center, I had a seizure and the employees sent me to the hospital alone in the ambulance. My parents were very angry that day. I'm not sure if anyone else shares my taste in music, but the kind of music I listen to is any type. I'm a die hard fan of R&B, like Rihanna, Stevie Wonder, Seal, Marvin Gaye, British Invasion era music, like The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Latin music like Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Carlos Santana, Country music, like Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire, rock music, like Aerosmith, Foreigner, VanHalen. My favorite band is The Rolling Stones, mainly because they have been around for a long time, at least since the 1960's. My favorite members of that band are the drummer, Charlie Watts, the guitarist Ronnie Wood, the lead singer Mick Jagger. This band and The Beatles some would say redefined rock music or something like that. When I graduate, I hope to be good enough to go into a job like creating CD covers for famous bands/artists or creating video games or even advertising because those kinds of jobs I enjoy a lot. One really quirky thing about me is that I'm afraid of spiders. I am proud to admit that I'm an arachnophobia kind of  person, because in the woods behind my house, we have some poisonous spiders living in the woods near the train tracks. We had to actually call the Poison Control Center about this one spider in our backyard because y dad thought because it was brown that it was a brown recluse spider. Something that many people may not know about me is that I have a step-dad who is Italian. This one guy I graduated with seems to be convinced that my step-dad is with the mob because he's Italian. I told him"that's not right, that's stereotyping!" This is pretty cool to me because I love going to visit his mom. She cracks me up because sometimes she'll hear one thing and say another. She can't hear very well and if she hears someone say one thing, she hear it as another. But I love visiting her and I also found out that my step-dad Greg has a friend named Frank that works over at Great American Ballpark, in the Concierge Service. He makes sure that when someone comes to town and they attend a Reds game, that they'll be satisfied with their visit. I'm personally glad that I'm out of high school because according to most people, senior year is supposed to be the best year of your life, the key word being SUPPOSED. Senior year for me was okay, but it seemed like an episode of Jersey Shore, only there 2 Italian guys that I graduated with instead of a lot, and a lot more drama! People seemed to bully me that year a lot for some odd reason. It seemed that only me and a few other people, mostly people in the band who shared similar music tastes. According to my mom, she is convinced that I'm a reincarnated hippie because of the way I act, dress, talk, because of my nonviolent ways. It's not that I'm nonviolent, it's just that I don't believe violence solves anything. It makes everything worse. I mean, you see how that ended up, look at all the wars we have ended up in! It also seems that in my dad's family, racial biasing runs rampant like a disease. I don't mean to sound rude about it, but it is the truth! My dad's cousin Laura and Robin were actually hoping Obama didn't make the presidential office! But anyhow, I'm pretty dull, the only thing I have interesting to say is that I'm in college and hoping to get a part time job, maybe at somewhere like Hot Topic at the Florence Mall or at the Newport Aquarium or at a bookstore, perfect job for a bookworm like me, especially someone who enjoys reading as much as I do!
                  That is just about everything about me! That's my life in a nutshell basically. I'm like a book, I can sometimes be boring, or at other times be interesting. Believe me, when I have about 3 cups of coffee running through my system, you should really see me then. I'm probably hilarious on caffeine.
