Country Thunder

My own choice blog that I am going to write about is country thunder! Country music in my mind is the best genre of music. Most songs actually have a story behind them and pretty much anyone can relate to them, personally I can relate to a lot of different country songs. Anyways, I went to country thunder for the first time last summer and it was the best four days of my life! The line up was awesome and just spending time with all my friends during those four days was the best. It rained all four days and was so muddy and hot but the weather was still good. The mud added to the fun! On the first night, I broke my finger by playing football and ended up having to come to college with a cast on it. Then on the last night, I got strep but I still ended up going. This summer is going to be even better!! The line up is amazing with my three favorite country artists being there including, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and Blake Shelton. And my friends and I got our own campsite this year so that's going to be even better. Country Thunder is truly the best time of my summer and something I now look forward to every year. Just being in the hot son, listening to amazing music and being with all my best friends is wonderful. I believe everyone should experience country thunder at least once to see what the best music event ever is! Country Thunder 2012 needs to hurry up and get here! Lets hope this year I don't brake my finger or get strep.

Words and Pictures

The text I choose to talk about that I have read a lot of was the series The Berenstein Bear books. I read those books all the time when I was younger because that was some of the only books i was ever interested in and they helped me learn how to read when i was younger. When i was younger, along with every other kid, we looked at the pictures first before reading the actual text. Some of the times i would just look at the pictures and turn the page forgetting to read the text because I would just make up my own story as i flipped through the book. My mom would have to remind me to actually read the books text. I loved this series because i loved the house/tree house they lived in. It always looked so cool and I always wanted to live there. I never thought about how much the pictures caught my attention or how much they made me so interested in the text. But now thinking back, the colors and the town they lived in is what pulled me into the books and what made me want to read these specific books. I always went into reading these books thinking I was in their place and lived there and the pictures helped me really get into the story.

For my own choice I am going to write about the X games. Every year I look forward for the winter X games because I love watching all the events especially the snowboarding and snocross events. I have always loved winter and everything about it and I've been interested in the X games for a few years now. I love to watch the snowboarding events because I like to snowboard myself, even though I'm not that good, and I love Shaun White. Plus seeing all the tricks they can do is amazing and makes me motivated to one day get better. My favorite part of the winter X games though are the snocross events. I am very interested in snocross because my best friend has been racing snowmobiles since he was 5. Every weekend in the winter I spent going to his races and watching him compete. It’s such an exhilarating feeling watching all the guys race on these huge machines. It also gets your heart racing because the sport is very dangerous. At many races, people have been seriously injured yet the athletes keep competing because no matter how dangerous, it’s so much fun. This year at the X games they took away snocross racing though which was upsetting but they still have the snocross tricks events which is the best to watch. It is crazy to watch these people do amazing tricks on these huge snowmobiles that you wouldn't think is possible. They do tricks such as back flips, no handed tricks and much more. This year, one racer was supposed to do a trick that has never been done before on a snowmobile. Everyone watched in anticipation to see if he was going to do a front flip on the snowmobile considering how dangerous and difficult it was. But he did it. It was amazing to see just how he completed the trick. Every year winter comes around I can’t wait for the winter X games to see what new tricks the athletes are going to do.

Hour of TV

The commercials that I saw while watching TV for two hours, related to teenagers and what they most likely will be interested in. there were a lot of movie trailers that teenagers would most likely want to go see which is why they showed them. They also showed a lot of clean and clear commercials because teenagers are the biggest group of people that suffer with acne. I was watching the mtv network and mostly teens are going to be watching the shows on that network which is why they show a lot of commercials that teenagers can relate to. They also had a bunch of texting commercials because teenagers are so obsessed with texting so they will be focusing on that commercial the most. One commercial I remember is the one about a person's character and it mentioned sharing. It's sad that we have to have commercials that remind us to act a certain way but it was good they showed it because teenagers need to be reminded a lot of the time. Another commercial was the twilight series one. Teenagers are obsessed with those movies and books so they knew they would catch their attention with that movie.
