Spring Break!


For my spring break my plans are to kick it with friends, watch TV and listen to some quality music. I’m doing this because I’ve been in school for a while now and quite frankly, I need a break. So I’m planning to either have people over to my house of go to their house. Even going to places like to movies or just chilling at the local teen watering hole. I’m planning on watching TV for those times when I’m bored with nothing got do except sit on the couch and watch TV.  I plan to watch shows such as, That 70’s Show, The Big Bang Theory and Family Guy. Also I plan to listen to some actually good music. Not that Katy Perry and Lady Gaga stuff that they play on the radio. My sister and my mom think it’s great music but I think it’s just bad. Some of the bands and music I will be listening to are, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Foo Fighters and the Black Keys. I like their music because it’s really easy to listen to, the beats are really good and it’s just quality music overall.  I’m most looking forward to hanging out with friends. This is because I really didn’t get a lot of time to hang out with my friends between school work, hockey and just extra-curricular activities. So just hanging out with them will be really fun. I guess you could say I see them every day at lunch or something but it’s not the same because as when your out of school because you’re not talking about school or homework. You can just unwind and talk about whatever you want and do whatever you want. This is what I will be doing over my spring break. I sure hope it warms up soon!



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This picture represents what I will be doing over my spring break because the black keys are one of the bands I will be listening to and will make up most of my time during spring break. The Picture I the album cover for the Black Keys album entitled ‘El Camino’. My favourite songs on this album are ‘Gold on the Ceiling’, ‘Dead and Gone’, and ‘Nova Baby’. These songs are my favourite because they have that groove to them that just makes you want to listen to them over and over again. This also represents my spring break because I love music and I also play the drums so this album is awesome because the beats are great to play along to and my spring break will be a lot of listening to musing but also playing drums to this very album. This album came out in 2011 and helped the black keys win the Grammy for best alternative rock album. This album is one of my favourite albums by the Black Keys In my opinion and I listen to it constantly because I just can’t get enough of it and I never get tired of it. Also the music on the album also represents me hanging out with friends because the Black Keys are also very popular throughout my group of friends. They love this album as much as I do and I’m pretty sure that when we are hanging out with them we will be listening to this music because it’s just so good.

Blog #1

Currently, I’m reading 'The Disappearing Floor' in the Hardy Boys series. So far in the book, the plot is that the boys, Joe and Frank Hardy are on the case of a well-known jewel thief named Strang. They try to investigate the thief but his accomplices try to sabotage there boat by putting some kind of explosives into the engine compartment of under the bow of their boat. later when their boat is being fixed they take their convertible and drive up to the abandoned mansion where they believe Strang is hiding out only to find a ghostly figure that leads them through some trees so they trip some sort of an alarm causing some of Strang men to chase them back to their convertible and away from the mansion. Except for the fact that Joe, while they were sitting in the bushes watching the ghostly figure, found some kind of a brass coin with the same symbol as the one they found at the strange tile formation that they found at the top of a hiking trail. Their dad, Fenton Hardy, is a world renowned detective who is also on the Strang case. He got a tip where Strang was going to strike next so he flew out to Long Island. This was obviously Strangs plan because well he was in Long Island he committed a huge jewel robbery in Chicago which was said to be worth $100,000. Now the Hardy boys are trying to figure out where Strang is going to strike next and also how to get into that mansion to look for clues.

All About Me

To start, I'm just 15 and i love to play hockey. It's a great sport with the fast pace and the all of a sudden smack of an incoming body check. My favourite book, well I can’t just choose one. It would have to be the entire Hardy Boys series of mystery stories. They're great book packed full of adventure and suspense if the boys are going to catch the crook of get caught and get into serious trouble. I play the drums outside of school and I’m currently playing percussion in the concert band. I've been playing drums since like 6th grade but I’ve been taking lessons since grade 7. That was also the year that I switched over from trumpet to percussion. It’s been a wild ride since I started playing but now it’s become harder than ever since I got into grade 9. Mr. Edwards has me playing mallets and its super hard. Anyways, it’s been great fun and imp really enjoying it. My hobbies are of course hockey and drums, but also I sport shoot in a sport called skeet. You go around through 8 stations trying to hit the clay pigeons at each station. It's great fun and if you’re not very good at it or just starting it's a challenge. I also love listening to music; my favorite bands right now are the Foo Fighters and The Black Keys. They make great music and i love to listen to the smooth grooves of the Black Keys and the solid rock of the Foo Fighters. To sum up my post, i like to play hockey and listen to some good tunes :)
