Elvis Presley, what could I possibly tell you in short form about Elvis, and all the great memories he brings back. All my life as a little girl my dad would play Elvis, in the car, in the kitchen, in the backyard when we were just lounging in the summer. I couldin't imagine my life without litsening to Elvis. Oh I can't forget my little crushy days, were when my father showed me a picture of Elvis, I was completly in love. I mean common Elvis Presley is a looker. Not to mention his voice is amazing. My all time favorite song by him Would have to be "Heartbreak Hotel" but also theres "Teddy Bear". Seriously I can not be the only person in this world who would kill to have Elvis Presley alive. I don't mean that in literal sense, but you know that. I was actually watching this movie that was called, "Hounddog" with Dakota fanning, David Morse, Robin Wright Penn. It's about a girl named Lewellen,who is growing up in ,rural Alabama in the 1950s. Her life is depressing as she(Lewellen) is poor and motherless. She lives with her Grammie, and has a strained relationship with her daddy. Lewellen's only pleasure is playing with neighbor boy Buddy and listening to Elvis. Lewellen's favorite song is "Hounddog" which she will perform for anybody at the drop of a hat. It's actually an amazing movie, well I liked it. Heres the trailer.Sunday, September 27, 2009

The sound of silence.
EVERRYONNEE, PLEASE GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR SIMON AND GARFUNKEL..
Hello darkness, my old friend,
Ive come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
This song is without a doubt my favorite song to litsen to by, Simon and Garfunkel. Besides the one and only Mrs Robinson. Everytime I litsen to this song it always brings me back to when I was about 8 or 9. My friend Ariel and I would always blast oldies and dance. We always litsened to Elvis, Patsy Cline, The beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, CCR and so many great other bands & artist.
I like to believe that one day music like this, will come back and move us all again. Don't get me wrong I love all the different genres out there now a days, but it'll never own up to the music back when my parents were young.
Heres the continuing of the song "Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel :).
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.
Fools said i,you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoedIn the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisperd in the sounds of silence.
Also Heres a video of the wonderful song. For those who have never heard this song.

Got milk?! PHOTO ESSSAY!
PHOTO ESSSAY!!
For English Class we all had to make a photo Essay.. I couldin't decide on what I wanted to do mine on, so I happened to pick a non constructive thing, that always makes me happy when I'm dying of thirst. That's right! You guessed it, Milk!
(The Glass! Dun Dun Dunnnn)
Late at night I always wake up and get extremly thirsty. Sometimes I suck it up, or some times I get my bum out of bed and search for something to drink. Usually I get myself a nice big glass of ice cold water and it always feels good. For once in my life I woke up and instead of getting a cold glass of water, I got myself a cold glass of MILK! As you can see here, this is only just the biginning of my story about the glass of milk.
(The glass, and the milk, dun dun DUNNN)
Of course, just my luck someone used up all the milk and I had to get a fresh new bag and cut the tip. Just so I could pour myself one single cold glass of milk. The story behind this picture is that I was secretly so excited to pour that milk into that nice not to mention "Ikea" glass for only $5.99. That's besides the point, i've never gotten so thirsty until I looked at that milk sitting beside my nice glass. Only moments away would I get to actually get some milk into that glass then drink it with pride.
(The glass, The milk, The actual pour! Dun dun dunnnnn)
At last, The milk is finaly going into my nice clean ikea glass, that was on sale for $5.99. Once that drip of milk hit the bottom of my glass, I instantly smelt the calcium. I've always thought that if you drink loads of milk in a second, you will grow extra strong like the hulk or superman? Well atleast my Mother always seemed to tell me. She was right, at this very exact moment I felt my body start to grow.
(The glass, The milk, Just a little bit MORE milk!, dun dun DUNNN!)
I couldin't help it! I know this is alot of milk especially at night. Wait is there even any rules on drinking milk at a certain time? No, exactly so who cares, just a little bit more and then I'm done. As I was pouring this milk I couldint help but notice the funny sounds it was making. Milk is actually so white, like look at this picture. It's seriously white, as white as this backround. Craaaazzyyy!
(The glass, The Milk, The finishing touch! Dun dun DUNNN!)
I am truly, without a doubt, extremly proud of myself. I've never managed to pour myself a glass of milk into a glass without spilling it all over the place. I have terrible hand cordnations, I swear if it wasint for my mother teaching me all these years how to pour a nice clean glass of milk, water, juice whatever, I would be swimming in milk at this very moment. Plus, I didin't pour myself that much milk. It's just enough to get the thought of thirst out of my head.
(The glass, The milk, My mouth! dun dun DUNNN!)
YAY! This milk is actually enriched with 100% calcium. Well atleast that's what it says on the bag. Look at my face, I'm so glad to have finally gotten my milk poured into my nice ikea glass. Personally I like skimmed milk better then 1%, or 2%. I mean, I can only drink milk if it's cold, hence why I usually put ice in mine, I know what your thinking... EWWWWY! Whatever, don't knock it till you try it.
(Got milk?!) dun dun dunnnn!
Yeah, I know exactly what your thinking. "Why would Jenn put a fake milk mustache? To answer your question. I actually don't have an excuse. Heck! I got bored, and I thought that it would be funny. I mean you have to admit it does go with my story, and what's a story about milk if there wasint a milk moustache. Personally I never get milk moustaches, I tried to actually have a real one, but it just wouldint work. Sorry kids! hope you still like this fake one made out of real Klenex :O!
(The glass, NO MILK!) dun dun DUNNNN!
Oh yeah! That was fresh, i'm not thirsty anymore, and now I can go to bed and sleep like a baby. but first lets take a second and look back to the first picture. Great times! I'm never gonna forget this moment. Next time you cant sleep, and wake up super thirsty. Also where you get really tired of drinking milk OVER and OVER again. Have yourself a nice glass of G2M (Ha! my own little science joke, which really isint that funny) just incase you didint get it (Glass 2 Milk) as in H2O, but you knew that right?
(The glass, And Sunlight soap!)
But ofcourse, how could I forget. Momma bear would be really upset seeing a glass full of milk everywhere just laying around on the stove. To solve this problem, take some dish soap out and some nice hot water and get a cleaning. Once you wake up, you don't need to tell your mom you had a glass of milk late at night. Saves you the trouble. I hope everyone who reads this, takes this into consideration. That if you ever drink milk late a night, it'll not only cure the curse of thirst, it'll also give you extra healthy bones, loads of Calcium well to be technical will say, 100% of Calcium, and not to mention make you very happy in the end.
NOTE: Yes, Infact I do know this subject was probably the wierdest subject for a Photo Essay! but seirously, you try to come up with something that is fun and not yawn bore me to tears. I also know it's probably creepy to you how much I love milk, but I was only half joking. Just a laugh here and there. :) So don't judge.

Oh my goodness! So close but yet so far away. I cant believe I'm finaly getting close to drinking a fresh nice cold glass of milk. Not to mention, once again, my nice ikea glass. Have you ever actually gotten excited to pour a glass of amazing calcium into a nice glass? Because if you've never gotten to experience such a great thing, then you must try it.

Old man look at MY life.
I don't know about you, but I have a little bit of hard times figuring out what most songs mean, just by litsening to lyrics. It gets me angry because i always litsen to a very intense lyrics in a song, and try to come up with something intellegent to say about it, but most of the time I never do. I figured I would search up a song I could never figure out, and this song is "Old Man" by Neil young. Great song, but seriously? There could be so many things he could be saying in this song.
While I was searching threw the web, I came across something Neil young has told someone in an interview. He mention his song "Old Man" was for the caretaker of the Northern-California Broken Arrow Ranch, Which Young bought for $350,000 in 1970. He also mentioned that the song compares a youn man's life to an old man's, and shows that the young man has, to some extent, the same needs of the old one. Pretty interesting.
Embarassing thing is that, I thought it was him either getting put down by his father a long time ago, and he was trying to tell his father his life? I was by far wrong.

Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world.
I've always thought that if you litsened to music while walking, you always tend to go with the beat. Something I haven't realized is that the song "don't stop believing" by Journey is the best song to walk too! Trust me everyone... walk somewhere while this song is playing and you will feel powerful, no word of a lie. It's almost like you feel like its your conscious telling you to not stop believing haha. I remeber when I litsened to this one day on the city bus on my way home. Obviously Jenn, getting way too caught up into the music, started singing outloud on the bus. Never have I seen so many strangers eyes staring at me. Not to mention I didin't do such a terrible job at singing. So yeah, I'm pretty sure you know this song, and if not just think of the new "remix" they made, NOT as good as the orginal but it's a help. If you don't know this song, no probleme just litsen here. :)
Care to sing along... just make sure no ones home when you belt out the chorus, because I know I do.
(Chorus)
Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people

Give Peace a Chance.
John Lennon is that one person in the world that knows what he wants, and when he wants it, and he will go to great lengths to make it happen. John Lennon has inspired many people to look at things the way we really should. When John Lennon wrote “Imagine” he wanted people to stop and think for a second and just try to imagine what life would be like without war, and it everyone started to just make peace with everyone. He always knows how to make people listen. Imagine was the most popular song on John Lennon’s solo album. Even now we have other bands that do covers of this song for example: A Perfect Circle, Avril Lavigne. Yes, they did do amazing covers, but nothing tops to an original, by the great man himself John Lennon. If you have never heard the song I recommend you hear it as soon as possible and maybe give me your feedback on what you felt when you heard it.
Also another song by John Lennon that always gets me singing and moving around the house is “Give Peace a Chance”. You might have heard it somewhere, if not I also recommend this song as well, and also I’d love to hear your opinions on this.
J-J-J-Jenny and the Jets
Good ol’ Sir Elton John…
What great mind he has, his music to me brings back so many good memories. Whenever I listen to his songs I get so happy just remembering the old memories. I believe his music back in the day was better than his music now, because his music now doesn’t sound like it used to be, and his old music was what made me love him so much. Personally I think he’s not trying anymore. But every time I listen to Bennie and the Jets I remember this one time I went to Dwyer’s school Encore (in other words, Talent show) this girl went up on stage looked so freaked out, we were all guessing she would sing a slow song or something, but when the music hit everyone was shocked this girl sang this song better than I ever thought someone other than Elton John could. Apparently a few days ago I was youtubing the lyrics and there was a video of the lyrics and the song in the background while the lyrics were showing, and apparently there was hidden messages. I never believed it but the person who uploaded that video made it seem like it was true.
