Does music keep getting worst?

What happened to our generation? Why has the music turned so crappy theses days? Oh I know why, people want to make money instead of producing and constructing actual music. Artists don’t care about the lyrics anymore their aim is to sell. They join together words that don’t actually make sense and just put them together because they rhythm. What happened to people who used music for an expression and for the profundity of the words they sang, for a benevolent purpose? The 90´s was a much better era than this one they had truly good musician such as Nirvana, The pixies, and daft punk. These days we have lady gaga and among others. Why do we listen to theses types of music maybe because nobody has taught us what good music is and trust me these lyrics are just rhymed based such as the famous song “just dance”. I have also noticed that music keeps getting worst each time even really good musician turned out with a song that is not the music they used to make. For example look at Maroon 5 and Coldplay their music is not the same  the have gone downhill instead of up hill. Do you 
agree or disagree?

Funniest Cats HQ

        Cat can be super funny. Their fun to watch, play with, etc. I have a cat and he is so hilarious.         When you scare them(unintentionally) they do all types of crazy thing like, jump really high, their hair stands up strait, they do a crazy noise, they can even jump on you or a curtain! Like I said before, their really funny. Although they are really funny, the can also be very loving or fierce. Many people say that cats are not good pets, but I think there wrong. If you train them correctly their peaceful! Also people say that cat and dogs don't get along really well, but they actually do. My cat and my dog are always together, and are ALWAYS playing! Their really really good friends. You wouldn't believe how friendly they are!

Million Dollar Smart Baby?

How many of us cry when our mothers sing?  Not very often, but this baby shows his feelings when he becomes emotionally connected to his mother's singing which causes him to cry.  I find this video very interesting in the fact that before the mother starts to sing the baby is fine.  Then Bam! the baby starts to cry and get teary eyed.  Have you ever actually wondered if babies understand what we are saying???? Many people have actually wondered if babies are more intelligent than adults but they simply speak a different language and can't express their thoughts.  Imagine if some baby saw you dancing around to One Direction or Justin Bieber.  Do you think he would make fun of you or think wow what is this girl/boy doing?  Do you think babies are intelligent and understand more than we think they do?

 Story Of My Life

As most Directioners (One Direction's Fandom) know, One Direction has released a new song called "Story Of My Life"! It's amazing! The lyrics to the song is sweet and their voices are beautiful. This song is in the album "Midnight Memories". Vevo took or deleted about 13 million views when we had about 20 million views.  Obviously most Directioners got really mad because we did break the record but vevo took views away for some reason. The music video is really sweet because their family members come out and show pictures about their childhood.

                                                                Latin Music


   I know that many of you at Equity American school have a Gringo culture and probably never hear any other type of music besides the one's with english lyrics. I wanted you all to hear a little bit of a different type of music culture. I personally have a love for all types of music. I can listen to classical, electric, Latino and still have the same love for each. I am able to appreciate different types of modern rhythms and still listen to classical music. There are different types of latino music though, reggeaton, salsa, and other I can't really remember but the thing is this music gets you going. The feeling that this music provides is not at all like pop music and other alternative rocks. The difference with latino music and especially this song is, that it immediately makes you want to dance. For pop songs and other similar tunes, you are simply just jumping and thats the dance. With this music, it's different here you are dancing in pairs and there are moves that you must follow. It is definitely a tune for dancing, very fun indeed.  I encourage you all to listen to it and please tell we what you think, i am anxious to know.

Java

During the summer, I went to a tech camp where I had a course on Java. Java is free, popular programming language that is used for many different purposes, like games. Games like Minecraft and Runescape are all made using Java. A cool thing is that Java is cross-platform, meaning that if you write a program on one operating system, like OS X, you don't have to convert it or anything for if you want to run it on Windows. I spent one week in the camp, and I successfully made a calculator with Java.

Screenshot of the calculator I made while at camp.

Programming is hard, that's one thing you should take note of. But I found a website that teaches Java for free. Check it out: www.java-programming.info

I'd love to see the stuff you guys make with Java.
