Welcome to state your beef!

Well that was a fast year since Obama took over as president. 

 Let’s take a quick look here to see what Mr. Obama has done to help us with the situation of the world.

 He has banned the enhanced interrogation method, which was used by Bush, and proven to work. The intelligence Agency said that the enhanced interrogation method was one of the best methods to get information from a terrorist.  IT’s gone NOW.

The Christmas Day attack with the terrorist who had bombs sewn into his clothes, Obama himself has said that they had the information that it was going to happen but they didn’t connect the dots in time to stop it before he boarded.  Sounds like a game to me!

The Obama administration has decided to close Guantanamo bay in Cuba, and a new prison will be started in Illinois for terrorists. Terrorists will be moved from Guantanamo to the Illinois facility.  They also want to have the terrorists go to trial in a civilian court.  I don’t like the idea of any of this, I feel Americans are safer with the terrorists being in Cuba and I also feel the military should see to the terrorists, Isn’t that what Homeland security and the anti terrorist task force are for.

Cash for clunkers.  Not only has this plan helped consumers by trading in high mileage gas guzzlers for a more economical vehicle but it also helped the car manufactures, by putting money into their industry so they wouldn’t fail, go bankrupt and put thousands of people out of work.

One of the best things I feel Obama has done is the mothers back to school.  This will help single mom’s get a good education, get a degree a good paying job (if there’s any jobs left) and get them out of the welfare system.  Included in this is being able to get grants for online school, so mothers can still stay home and take care of their babies.

As of the end of the year, the bureau of labor statistics reported that 4.1 million people had lost their job in the year 2009. I don’t really think we can put the blame on Obama for this one; he came into office with the job market declining rapidly.  Another thing to remember is the great depression was from 1929 to 1939 and in 1933 it was the record year for no jobs with a little over 25% of the population being out of work, compared to only 10% today.

I have to say, I feel sorry for him, He came into a mess.  We are and were at war, we were in the middle of a recession (or so they say, I still think it was the beginning of a depression), the whole economy was turned upside down.  He’s done a pretty good job so far.  There’s a few things I don’t agree with but, if we were all in agreement on everything the world would be a pretty quiet and boring place to be.

Take care and have a blessed day!

So im chillin at home with a couple buddy's playing some call of duty, at first we were having fun and laughing and stuff but then one of my buddy's says he's hungry, so we all play rock paper siscors to see where we are going to eat, I end up winning and say we should go to applebee's. So everyone agrees that I have great taste in food and I should probably get an Award for best taste buds, so we get our coats and boots on, were im at its the dead of winter. 

Im riding down the road in my car with a couple of friends, we are looking at a weird colored house with big bushes in front of it. To the left of one of the bushes I noticed a big man on the ground and another holding something down on the front. So my buddy is like what the hell? We stop to take a look and we notice a girl with blood running down her face, They look over and see us and one of them starts running at the car and the other one starts slapping the girl. so we take off, the guy hops in a car and starts chasing us. We take an alley way through town and he starts shooting at us he ended up shooting my buddy in his back so I take a quick left, the guy ends up following us all the way to the hospital we get out of the car and we know he aint going to do anything while where at the hospital so he shouts out his window that he's going to remember my car and to watch my ass. I get home and im pretty shook up. I tell my mom what happens and she got scared, she  said "your movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air" I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought nah, forget it yo homes to bel-air!
I-pulled- up to a house about seven or eight
I yelled to the cabbie yo homes, smell you later
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
to sit on my throne as the prince of bel-air!

Music is an essential part of history.

The roaring 20’s.  The age of Jazz.  Jazz was very popular in the 20’s, along with a great Jazz artist named Louis “Satchemo” Armstrong, he had a very raspy voice, and he played the trumpet and cornet.  Edward Kennedy Ellington also known as Duke Ellington was another big jazz composer who played the piano. Number 1 hit of the 1920’s was “swanee” by Al Jolson.

1930’s the big band era.  Number 1 hit of the 30’s “brother can you spare a dime” by Jay Gorney. One of the main instruments in music of the 30’s was the piano.  Three of the popular players of the 30’s were Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bing Crosby.  Bing Crosby started with a band called the Rhythm boys, and in the 30’s they played on stage with Duke Ellington, soon after that Bing Crosby left the band and started his solo career.

The big band era of the 40’s.  This was the era where rhythm and blues were popular and the door for rock and roll begins. The 40’s were also the era were many new artists made their breakthrough and started their career.  Dizzy Gillespie became a famous band leader. Frank Sinatra, Perry Como and Dean Martin became well known and opened the door for future artists to see that lyrics should have significance. This was also the era of scat singing which consisted of nonsense but rhythmical syllables that were strung together to fit to the music.

50’s beginning of rock n’ roll.  Rock n’ Roll was developed from a blend of Gospel and Southern blues music and a strong back beat. This music became very popular very fast, especially by with the teenagers.   The popular artists in that era were, Bill Haley, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis along with many others.  But there was  more than rock and roll there was Nat king Cole, Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore, And Perry Como, called the Crooners, who were idolized of the rockers that started rock n’ roll. Elvis Presley, who holds the title of The King of Rock N’ Roll, was first noticed in 1953 when he stopped into a recording studio to record two songs for his mother for her birthday.  Later in 1953 he went back to the same recording studio recorded 2 more songs and they paid him $4. The songs were played to the owner and in 1954 Sam Phillips put Elvis to work and rock and roll history began. Another part of the 50’s was in Memphis with Country Music and Johnny Cash.  In the 50’s all these artists and others were dubbed the rockabilly’s. A very important source of the beginnings of rock n’ roll in the 50’s began with a man named Les Paul he was a wiz in the recording studios and good guitar player. He designed the Les Paul electric guitar and designed overdubbing which allows one person to play more than one part on a recording. Les Paul and his wife Mary Ford who sang vocal parts created together a series of two – person recording that sounded like an entire band was playing all with music that was guitar based.

So as you can see from the 20’s to the 50’s with the 50’s being a very important part of rock n’ roll music, history was made by singers and musicians who’s music is still in play today and appreciated by many.

Sports provide your child with numerous benefits including mental fitness, physical exercise, confidence, fun, team play and a sense of community. They make your child more disciplined, organized and punctual. It is very important for your children to actively participate in a sport of their own choice along with their academic careers. For many children, sports are the most joyful, real and natural way to express excellence, talent and grace in their young lives. For your children to develop their skills and abilities and pursue their interest in different sports, you need to sign up your children for a local youth sport program of their choice. In this way, you will provide best opportunities for your children to polish their talent, abilities, and skills and get the most out of the wonderful and challenging experience.

Talking about the organized sports which are administered by the adults, they offer a unique and organized path for your child to appreciate and learn different sports. Traditional youth leagues and skill developmental clinics enable experienced and knowledgeable coaches to teach children sportsmanship, team play, manners and sports skills. All of these activities are supervised to ensure the safety of your children. As a result, your child gets a wonderful experience with the proper instructions balanced with a skill level and competition suited to your child’s age group. However, it is important to keep in your mind that the interest and commitment of your child is mandatory to be successful in any sport as organized sports are only one part of the equation and they don’t provide your kid with the best sports experience by themselves.

For your children, learning different sports is a multi-faceted experience. There are many sports such as baseball, football, basketball, rugby, hockey, ice hockey etc. to make your children team players and more accomplished athletes. These sensational games are much more than just sports. They teach your children how to interact with other children without the help of adults. Your kid will learn how to organize the game, manage the game, deal with arguments, take the responsibility, recruit neighborhood kids and balance his or her individual competitive skills and instincts against the needs and requirements of the other team mates. Sometimes, your child needs to have a balancing act to keep everyone satisfied and the game going. Your child learns to control his or her experience and becomes more self-reliant as he has to adapt to different situations i.e either fun or more serious competitions.

Youth leagues are run by caring coaches who are competitive and they balance competition, fun and learning atmosphere. Your child may not experience poor coaching or feel moments of stress, anxiety, fear and boredom by joining a youth league. Organized sports are highly structured, scheduled, competitive and safe to fit into your child’s life. It is the responsibility of the youth leagues, however, to provide beginners, less skilled and younger children with the best opportunities to learn and have fun. Your children need to balance their active participation in the organized sports with the other developmental opportunities such as self-motivation, parental involvement and self-directed play by themselves. It is important to spend some of your time playing with your child and sending him or her outside to play with other neighborhood children.

From the above discussion, it is clear that sports play a vital role in your child’s life. Different sources such as neighborhood pickup games, gym teachers, youth leagues, organized sports, parents and self-organized play are very important to add to your child’s youth sports experience. You should provide your child with some sports magazine to develop his or her interest in a particular sport. Encourage your child to actively participate on web game forums by contributing in game chats to enhance his or her own skills and learn about the ideas and interests of the other children. You shouldn’t just outsource your kid’s sports education to a youth sports program. You need to be supportive and should take a keen interest in your kid’s organized youth sports experience.
