The Artic Monkeys

The Arctic Monkeys are a band that got together in 2002 surprisingly because "they were bored", which is a weird reason for a band to get together. They originated in Sheffield, England but their music is playing all across the US, Canada and other places around the world. The band consists of four band members which are Alex Turner, who is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Jamie Cook, who is the lead guitarist. There is also Nick O'Malley, who is the bassist and the back-up vocalist, and finally the drummer and also the back-up vocalist, Matt Helders. The first song which reached the number 1 charts (UK) was their second single "I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor". Their first album, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" was released in January 2006 and became the fastest selling debut album in British history. So far, the Arctic Monkeys have 3 albums up to date, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not", "Favourite Worst Nightmare", and "Humbug". My personal favourite album is "Favourite Worst Nightmare" because it's really fast and really loud. My favourite song from that album is "Brainstorm" because it's also very fast and i can play it on my real drums.

my mom

I love my mom because she buys me things, but the bad thing is she told me that I was lousy at playing hockey which made me upset. When my mom told me this, it made me want to play even harder because if she thinks I am not very good then the scouts won't think I am good, so I won't go far in hockey. Now I am playing my heart out like nothing I have ever done before. I really do love my mom though, mainly because she gives me hugs most of the time, but if not, she is then pissed of at me.

Ants in your Pants

Today I am going to talk about pants. Pants are very comfortable and they hide your leg hair. Pants come in very many sizes such 12, 14, 22, and maybe even size 66 for some people. Pants also come in many different designs such as bell bottoms, slim cut, skinny jeans, I could go on but I do not really know many other pant styles. Pants also come in very many colors such as Black, Grey, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Red, Purple, tree, bush, and again I could go on forever. I am also a very big fan of pants and shorts, but mostly pants. I hope you enjoyed my segment on, PANTS!

Triple Threat

I have already wrote a blog post on dance, but I just got back on Sunday from an amazing two-day dance convention called Triple Threat. I haven't stopped talking about it or doing the choreography from it since I went, and many people have told me to stop talking about it; apparently it's getting on their nerves.
There is only one thing that you do at Triple Threat. You dance all day, doing all styles of dance- hip hop, street jazz, contemporary,ballroom and tap. Non-stop. From eight in the morning until four-thirty in the afternoon, you learn various choreography from a number of professional dancers. One of my favourite choreographers was Devin Jamieson. Now, what is cool about this particular dance instructor is that he was going to be one of Michael Jackson's back up dancers for his tour, This Is It. He knew all of the choreography, and I was lucky enough to learn some of it. The moves he taught us are quite complex, so it took a lot of rehearsing to figure them out. Another famous choreographer is Stacey Tookey. She has been known to create emotional contemporary choreography, and has been featured on So You Think You Can Dance and So You Think You Can Dance Cananda.
If you ever get the opportunity to attend this convention, DO IT. Although the moves are challenging and the hours tough, it is one of the best experiences I have ever had.

Justin Bieber is only 15 and is already insanely rich, i wonder what he will be like by age 20! (:

Take a picture with Santa!

At every mall there's a Photo Santa for Christmas. Their average salary for a mall is $8,000! With 7,829 average child visits to Santa per mall, that's $1.02 per screaming kid. I was searching for for how much you pay to see Santa and a lady who was going to get her son to take a picture with Santa found out it was $25 for one 5x6
photo. Imagine that. So if 7,829 kids visited that santa, he would of got $195,725!!! You never really think about that untill you really look into it. You guys are probably thinking i want to be a Santa, but the thing is it's not 'easy' to be a santa. First of all you got to have been in an acting class before. Second of all the kids are very loud, frisky and they bite!

5 facts about a bad mall Santa

1. Before the kids sit on his lap, he orders the elves to frisk them.

2. He becomes the new cigarette lobby spokesman.

3. He tells the kids to leave a glass of milk at the ATM
cards.

4. He won’t talk to the kids without a disclaimer.

5.He refers to the wishing fountain as his “tip jar.”
