"Although it does take some talent to make these types of songs, one can learn the skill relatively quickly. This music is not something you learn while you grow up, it is a "now" kind of thing. I hate this music to be honest. It will take…"

Kristina Lopez commented on Gary Anderson's videoElvis Presley: "Hound Dog," 1956
"I know how popular this song is, but I hate it. It has one line that is repeated over and over again. If this first aired today, his lower half of his body would not be a problem, that would be clean today, but then again, so is Lady Gaga being half…"
Kristina Lopez commented on haena y.'s blog post Mike Royko...An Iron Teddy?"I read both of these articles for my advanced reading class. I half agree and half disagree with him. I agree that most teen suicide is not thought about and is done without thinking of other people. Yet at the same time, I can imagine feeling so…"

Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock: "The Star-Spangled Banner" 1969
"I was amazed when I first heard this. He is a guitar god. I really like the symbolism and the different sound effects he used in a simple song. I have played this song many times (in marching band) but there is no way I could have ever interpreted…"
Kristina Lopez commented on Lauren Olson's blog post P-R-O-M"I think it is too hyped up. I did not go this year because of the money, other school work, and other obligations. I plan on going next year, but I think that the first time is always special. I would get too stressed out having to plan prom…"
Kristina Lopez commented on Rachel Izydorek's blog post Can We Fall In Love At 17?"I believe love can exist at all ages. I have been in a relationship for two and a half years, which is not easy in high school. Relationships take time and work to form. I'm not here to lecture on how to do this, but I agree that some people…"
Kristina Lopez commented on Darby Douglas's blog post The Significance of Tan Skin...What is it?"I do not have an opinion of tanning. I never do it, but I get tan anyways. I hate orange girls, there are way too many of them everywhere. My mom got a spray tan once, and she looked ridiculous, as do most girls. Does no one tell them how they look?…"

Duck and Cover
"I saw this video in World History last year, and it is still just as funny. I think people were so ridiculous, a desk would never be able to save you from an atomic bomb. A desk wouldn't be able to save you from a small bomb. It must have been…"

Dave Cullen speaks to Fremd High School on Columbine, part 1

Lego Huck Finn in 4 Minutes
"I love this video, I used to watch it at least once a week while we were reading "Huckleberry Finn". It helped me understand the book more, and it is really funny. I love videos that some people actually put their time into to help others…"
Kristina Lopez commented on Megan Teschner's blog post What's the point of summer reading??"I hate having to choose a book from a list. Most of the time, none of them interest me. If we got to chose our own books, I feel that more kids would actually read. I always read my summer reading, but I never want to."
Kristina Lopez commented on Davy Mellado's blog post What is creation?"Although most of my very religious family does not believe in evolution, I do. I remember reading the book "Inherit the Wind" which was all about the issue of evolution. One line in the book said that believeing in God's creation and…"
Meghan Byrne commented on Kristina Lopez's blog post Volcano"This is literally the first time I am hearing anything about a volcano erupting and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Was this even on the news? I really do hear a lot more news on JBiebs and who he's dating or not dating. Its kind of…"
Connor Bieda commented on Kristina Lopez's blog post Volcano"I think that this whole "rapture" nonsense is not true and the volcano erupting was just some type of freak coincidence."
Grace Stapleton commented on Kristina Lopez's blog post Volcano"I think that science should look at it more but I don't think it's related to the "rapture." Yeah sure, volcanoes don't erupt on a daily basis but it's just a part of nature. Either way, earthquakes cause volcano…"
Michael Naselli commented on Kristina Lopez's blog post Volcano"I think that volcanos are really cool and that they are definetely more important than gossip. I'm glad that no one got hurt from this volcanoe because those explosions can be deadly. Cool time lapse picture thing by the way

Volcano
On Saturday May 21, 2011, a volcano in Iceland erupted. It is not a common experience for a volcano to blow its top. This was the first eruption in that particular volcano since 2004, yet this most recent eruption was its largest in 100 years. The name of the volcano is Grimsvotn near the city of Reykjavik. Luckily, a glacier was covering the volcano, and it was not close to any towns. No one was hurt due to the…

So, You're a Herbivore?
Vegetarianism is becoming more and more popular for teens and young adults, but a lot of people still do not completely understand what vegetarianism really is. I have been a vegetarian for over 3 years, and I still get questions on what vegetarianism is and why I chose this life style.
Vegetarianism, by definition, is…

The Controversy of Homosexuality
The removal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy was signed by the President on December 22, 2010, but why did it take so long to remove? Or should it have been removed? Controversies like these have been very popular in the news lately; they are all about gay rights.
I decided to talk about this topic because it can make everyone mad. Either mad that gays are getting rights or mad that they only have a few rights. The…

What's up fellow ningers?! :D Happy New Year! Somehow I ended up on the Ning this morning. Don't know if Mr.Anderson and Mr.McCusker remember our American Studies class from 09-10. Great times. It doesn't seem like this Ning has continued on over the years. What happened?See More

Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"

Justyna Chlopecka posted a blog post9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles
I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
