Personal Narrative: Why I Love Itunes Music

It has been one year since the passing of my dear friend Stephen Gregory Cord. I met Steve on February 20, 2010 when I went to his house to pick up some audio equipment that I purchased from him online. It seems like I knew him for a lot longer than 4 years but that is what my saved email correspondence with him indicates. Steve and I were kindred spirits. We hit it off immediately and Steve quickly became a member of our family. He shared holidays with us, including Thanksgiving and Christmas. Steve also shared his passion for hi-end audio with me through advice and numerous modifications to my stereo equipment. In August of 2014 he asked that I be the executor of his estate should he pass away. Steve had a lot of health issues and

Everyone that's been to a performance has loved him, such as family, friends, and fans. Kid Blue and BSK get gigs where they go out and perform their songs that they haved worked super hard on. Kid Blue works his butt off to get all of the lyrics, all of the beats, melodies, and rehearsing the songs he writes. The most recent performance Kid Blue had, was in a contest. There were probably about 100 people, and 1 of those people just happens to be Eminem's DJ. Eminems DJ was there to help everyone that performed he gave them stuff they could work on to be a better performer. For him performing is awesome, he took a whole new level.

As Junior in Weslaco East High school, I come from a family obsessed with sports and competition. Sports isn't my cup of tea. When the time came to play sports I was very perfunctory. My family wanted me to play basketball just because the whole family did; basketball does not interest me.

I experienced my pop culture moment when I was a senior at my high school. My transportation to go to my school was buses. I took the same buses to school from freshmen year but I have never notice what I notice in my senior year. Every morning I wake

Music can be clear, organized or messy, and loud or quiet, and uses many different emotions. I enjoy most types of music, which illustrates how my life as it is not always organized and peaceful, but sometimes is rough, like anyone’s. My life is filled with many emotions as well, and my language maintains positivity most of the time. Furthermore, music is both art and poetry, and contains layers and hidden meanings. Similarly, most people do not know everything about me just by looking at me once, just like people cannot simply understand the meanings of all songs or poetry by listening to the words once and not searching

Eminem grew up in a very hostile environment. From having no father and a drug addicted mother, he would be seem as a weak link. As a “white” rapper, he would be criticized because of it. Because of him being who he is, he would get beat up all the time. At one point, he was beaten up badly that he went into a comma. Throughout everything, he continued to be himself, and became a really successful rapper., To this day, people still criticize his music and raps about what he wants to, not what others want.

To some people music is simply entertainment in the car. To some the words to a song are just there to please the ears; the rhythm and the beat are nothing but a sound to hum along to. It might be a hobby or interest to others, but

I could tell a story about how music has shaped my life and has became a necessity in my life. I could explain the importance of my religion and how it has transformed me into a better person. I could mention the fact that I have ADD and because of that I learned how to work hard. I could express my love of cooking, adventure, travel, literature, nutrition, and science, and the list could continue. However, I will not use any of those ideas that have been overused, I shall a tell of what some people may think to be an idea of make believe, but for me is a reality: superpowers. I happen to be gifted with the talent of being a Psychic, and i am especially lucky with the fact that this gene is recessive and both my parents have the non superpower dominant gene. The only downfall to this is knowing that other

I loved the musical and that means a lot coming from me because I do not like musicals but the singing, dancing, and the storyline was just lovely. The lighting was on point it fit every scene I loved the lighting scene when they went dancing how it was flashing random colors. The Spanish was on point they did really well speaking it. Spanish is one of the hardest languages to learn but the cast did really good speaking it. The set oh my gosh was so awesome I couldn't believe it was a set, it looked so real. the dancing went on the play, it stuck I loved it you can really tell the cast practice a lot on the dancing because that type of dancing is a little hard to teach if never danced to that type. The singing was just wonderful I loved
