"Small Dogs"

Don't you just love small dogs!! As an adult who have for years had a huge fear of dogs I find them more tolerable when they are small. The sight of them! They are so tiny and cute and fluffy. It's hard to see them as a potential threat when they are so small. My all time favorite dog is a Yorkshire Terrier followed by the Pomeranian. I have yet to own a "Yorkie" but was once the proud owner of a Pomeranian. I named him "Shortie" and he was a very active dog. Lately I have been thinking about investing in a new family member for the house. Can you guess what it is??

I think I will name her "Sadie" and if it is a boy "Chace"!! I'm excited, and not to mention how much money I'll be saving a month on dog food having a small dog.

Assigned Entry #2 "She Lip Synced Big Deal"

http://www.bostonglobe.com/editorial/2013/01/23/beyonce-inaugural-lip-synch-the-glamour-and-dirty-secret/8itWy3ZDO39ja3bClBPCTI/story.html

      Here is an interesting little article! I found this article on Beyonce and the whole "she lip synced at President Obama's Inauguration" ordeal. Upon reading the article I felt a bit disgusted to honest. I think it is a shame the way people hold celebrities to these high standards like they are not human beings or something. Who are we kidding? No one is perfect and the reality is we are all expected to fall short of the world's expectations every now and then. Beyonce, I am sure, like all other artist is a perfectionist. I can't imagine the nerves one must have singing in front of the President and his entourage. I probably would have lip synced too!

      This article is sending a subliminal message to celebrities to check their integrity and clearly expressing how wrong they think it is for this type of behavior at such a formal event. All of that is understandable but should it had been that big a deal when we're talking about "Beyonce"? There is no doubt that she [Beyonce] is very talented and an amazing performer. This article, in my opinion, make the editor seem petty. Not only did they fail to mention that many other celebrities also lip synced at the Inauguration they had the nerve to compare her [Beyonce] singing to Kelly Clarkson, who apparently managed to sing live when she performed years ago. They stated that Yo Yo Ma played along to a prerecorded track at the 2009 Inaugural and we all know how talented he is. So is it wrong to cover your own vocals or prerecorded music if a good bit of the world know that you are talented? I think "NOT". I believe this article is damaging for the editor and may affect their future credibility.

Entry #1 My View On Blogs

So, I finally had a chance to look at a couple blogs and get an over-all opinion of them. I actually like blogs a lot more than I thought I would! I feel that they are a great way to put valuable information in a modern up to beat way. I mean you can literally find a blog on almost anything you can imagine. I found a blog on Beyonce's Superbowl outfit and the designer that was responsible for an outfit so stylish at runway.blogs.nytimes.com. I love this blog! Now I have somewhere to go and catch up on the latest trends and newest designers. I also checked out hangtime.blogs.nba.com. It's a great blog if you are a fellow basketball lover like myself. How many 3's does it take to insult you (in a single game)? Go check out the blog and post a comment with the answer just for fun's sake. At random I checked out a cat blog willowscatblog.blogspot.com. I wasn't really fond of that one. Nothing against cats other than the fact that I am allergic I just didn't find it interesting. I liked the layout and the background was pretty (I like the green and white) but over- all I found it a bit boring. I did however enjoy all of the kitty pictures.

What Is Music?

What is the definition of music? To some its any sound being played rhythmically, while to others its anything that can be enjoyed through sound. As a small child I knew I had a deep passion for music. The older I get the more I start to understand that passion. I have written and composed my own songs since I was about 13 years old. With age everything improves so I can't wait to see where I will be musically five years from now.
