Hello All Stars! Welcome to my page. I hope you enjoy! :)

 

"Who Are You?"

Well, this song bassically sums up how i feel about my life and how i want to live it! There is a bridge in the middle of the song (highlighted pink) that i wrote myself about why this song describes me.

    "Don't Rain On My Parade" 

Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade 
Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got to
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade

 

I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
The Cinderella or the shine apple of its eye

 

I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you see,
I gotta have my bite, sir.
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade,

 

I grew up in a smal town

But thats not gonna stop me from wearing my crown

I've always dreamed of being in N.Y.C.

My momma always told me it wouldnt come free

Even my grandma was seen

She's a festival queen

For she is who inspired my dream


I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, Mr. Arnstein, here I am ...

I'll march my band out, I will beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!

 

"License Argument"

The first video shown was a Queen and David Dowie song released in 1980 titled "Under Pressure". In 1990, an artist named Vanilla Ice sampled the song "Under Pressure" with the same bass and piano tune titled "Ice Ice Baby". This song soon became #1 on the charts in both US and UK. This new hit song made "Under Pressure" a more popular song. Later on in 1992, Queen released an album that compiled their greatest hits titled Classic Queen. On the back of the album there is a note: "In 1990 the bass and piano featured again on Vanilla Ice's number one single Ice Ice Baby."

"Happenings"

These are just a few sites that show "happenings" and are really interesting and fun to put your own meaning to them...be creative!

 

http://fall2010compositions.pbworks.com/f/kaprow_recent+happenings.pdf

 

http://www.ubu.com/film/fluxfilm.html this one has videos...its crazy that people thought of this stuff in the 60's!

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happening this is just the definition of a happening

 

On the first link i provided are a few of Kaprow's written Happenings. After reading the happening titled "Birds", i tried to put it into my life and my surroundings at my college campus. The "tree women" are just the college girls (business) at school and the "hanging furniture" is their purse/handbag. "Banging the trees with sticks" the trees are the paper made from trees and the sticks are the pens so shes writing. The "wall men" are the construction workers and they are "building wall of rocks on bridge" or working/constructing the college campus buildings and pavements. Later on it tells us that the "wall men are taunting the tree women", but in my perspective, the constrution workers are whistling and making nasty comments on the business college girls. "Tree woman drops hanging furniture" much like Girl drops her purse. The "Bread man", i like to think of as a police man. When "the tree woman blows the police whistle" the girl calls the police for assistance. So when "the bread man blows his whistle" and then "becomes silent" then "the wall men begin taunting the women again" the police man gets on to the construction workers and when the police man leaves the construction workers begin hooting at the girl again.

 

"Writing to Explore"

I found this on Boda's page and find that it connects to the Mcgraw book in that you can understand alot more about a person by what they post on their page. This phrase to me tells me that Boda is a lover and lives by it. I think thats awesome, i happen to feel the same way and can tell that Boda and i would get along. So you can learn alot from just reading someones page or even just a phrase.

The greatest thing

You'll ever learn

Is just to love

And be loved in return 

 

"What is Service Learning?"

Service learning relates directly to course goals. Which is great because it isn't like a requirement, its meaningful and a purpose driven learning experience for atudents. It also shows and adresses important needs in the community. They use actual situations that happen and call for a type pf communtication. This isn't a crusade of pointing fingers and marching but a group of students who study the problem and, within their guidelines, they talk with the community to figure out a solution to the problem. Service learning also involves developing relationships with the college/university and the communities. Their projects icorporate the goals and values of both the course and organization. All together i think this is beyond a good idea but a beneficial act for everyone involved!Service Learning

 

"Lead Learn Serve"

   I signed up for this class not knowing what STARS was but i knew i wasn't apart of it. I just needed the English credit and looked up the professors rating and students liked him. So i joined the class thinking it would be a normal comp class. I later learned in the first class meeting that this was not just a normal comp class but a class with different way of thinking and approaching the community. I think our professor has such a strong mindset on helping everything he comes in contact with and I LOVE it! This isn't just writing papers about random topics a teacher gives us, but involving ourselves and then writing about our views, opinions, and intake from things like wiki. Wiki is new to me and i love that we can just blog about anything and everything! So simple yet so effective!

  Everyone's talking about the Green Movement. Why? Because its something worthtalking about and being apart of. FINALLY an act of passion for the world and our environment! What i dont understand is why people refuse to help out? Laziness? Well then i think thats pathetic. If anything people should understan that if we dont protect and preserve this earth it will be detroyed...by US! The Green Movement is smart and caring and i belive everyone should participate.

  It is so easy to take part in. It could be as simple as recycling! How hard is that? You seperate your garbage in different cans. I personally am apart of the Green Movement. I stopped using plastic bags and instead use the cotton bags they provide at any store. I also recycle and dont use sprinklers! Little things and acts add up to alot and make a difference.

Awesome song! My daughter loves this show. Do you think you could add a verse or two about a significant moment in your life, or add a bridge about somebody who has directly inspired you?
