review

-The newest album put out by Justin Timberlake ‘The 20/20 Experience’ has really boosted his career. His title to his album relates to the amount of songs on his album. His song tunnel vision shows in his album artwork. His album seems to start slow and get faster once you get towards the middle of the album, and then it gets slower again. This album really made a comeback to his career, making one of his best albums yet. 4 of his best songs have come off the album to become really popular, more than any of his songs on any of his albums so far. One or two songs that are on the album don’t catch my attention and are not really interesting.

Pusher love girl- has a steady slow beat

Suit and tie- little faster beat

Don’t hold the wall- slow beat

Strawberry bubblegum- slow beat

Tunnel vision- starts slow then goes a little faster beat

Spaceship coupe- slow beat

That girl- starts slow then gets faster

Let the groove get in- fast beat, relates to title

Mirrors- fast and a slow beat

Blue ocean floor- really slow beat

Gimme what I don’t know (I want)- fast beat

True blood- fast beat

Cabaret- fast beat

TKO- beat gets faster as the song goes on

Take back the night- fast song

Murder- fast song

Drink you away- slow beat, song

You got it on- slow song and beat

Amnesia- little faster beat and song

Only when I walk away- beat starts slow goes a little fast and then slow again

yearly spendings

Yearly Spending’s

The most money spent out of all the holidays is Christmas, what a surprise. Christmas is the number one most costly holiday spending about 135.16 per year. The average money spent per year on all the holidays is $228.4 billion this year already. Thanksgiving is second for the most money spent with 30.50 million dollars per year. I think that spending this much on Christmas and thanksgiving is a little ridiculous. I think that for us humans to be spending this much on Christmas gifts, I think that the prices of things such as toys and gifts should be lowered for the courtesy of us. Halloween is the least spent holiday ever, at 6 billion per year while mother and father’s day is ahead of Halloween when Halloween should be expected to have more money spent for all the people who spend money on Halloween candy per year. Mother’s day has more spent rather than father’s day which I think is kind of weird since moms and dads are equal. Valentine’s Day is also at the top of the chart at third. I think that’s reasonable because people want to get gifts for their loved ones. Holiday spending keeps sizing up as the years go on. So in 2 years from now, I predict that the price spend yearly will go up by twice what it is already.

album reviews

1.       “Dynamic” could be a one-word review of Scotty McCreery‘s sophomore album, ‘See You Tonight.’   -Scotty McCreery(Country)

2.       The fantastically fierce single gets Perry’s fourth record off to a mighty start. It’s a high-energy blast of catchy pop.   –Katy Perry(Pop)

3.       The Marshall Mathers LP 2 bears the name of Em’s most powerful album.    –Eminem(HipHop)

4.       On "Rock N Roll," all the Auto-Tune in Sweden can't keep her bad reputation from battling "hipster bullshit.”    -Avril Lavigne(Rock)

5.       A massively overrated album, Kanye experiments with some interesting sounds but ultimately fails to create anything particularly memorable and his lyrics are pretty weak on the whole. 

–Kanye West(Rap)

6.       Overall I found it pretty blah, and I thought “Boys ‘Round Here” was unbelievably stupid.

–Blake Shelton(Country)

According to the British News Journal, British Talk and other foreign newspapers, a man named David Capaldi is going to swim down the River Thames. In the dead of winter. With no clothes on. He will attempt to swim from the London Bridge to the Waterloo Bridge and back in under two hours. One hour there and one hour back. Capaldi is known for doing these extremities; in 2007 he swam across River Pekoe in Italy, he only wore goggles. No clothes at all. He will be expected to attempt this adventure in January of 2015.

According to the Mirror News online, a construction worker named Chris Kelly, found a false widow spider hidden, while he was renovating a house in Burnley. Once he spotted the little creature, he couldn’t keep his eyes off of it. Chris came face-to-face with one of the most venomous spiders in the UK and he wasn’t going to let it just scuttle away. In doing so, he managed to capture it in his lunch box before taking it home for the weekend. While most of us would’ve quickly gotten rid of it, Chris called him Boris. As if that wasn’t enough, to keep him living and healthy, he fed him sugar puffs. Chris put holes in his lunch box to make sure that Boris could breathe and he tapped the lid down so he was sure he wouldn’t escape.
