06/23/09 Rockstar- Summer

Man, it is hot here. We haven't had any rain or wind to cool things down. All we get is heat and humidity. I can't go out for five minutes without sweating or getting a sunburn. The summer heat won't end most likely until late September. Not only is the heat high, the electric bills will be high also, since we will use fans and air conditioners more.

My advice for you if you are to vacation in Texas this summer, bring plenty of sunscreen. And, if you are going to exercise outside, exercise in a pool. Finally try to have fun, safe, and cool summer.

06/16/09 Rockstar- Father's Day

Next week on June 21st, we will celebrate Father's Day. Father's Day commerates fatherhood and male parenting also honor fathers and forefathers. It is believed that the first observance of Father's Day was on July 5, 1908 at Fairmont, West Virginia at Central United Methodist Church of Fairmont by Dr. Robert Webb. Father's Day was made a federal holiday in 1966.

My tips for how to celebrate Father's Day.
1. Buy or make a card for your father.
2. Spend time with your father, like going bowling with him or play football together.
3. Finally cook his favorite meal and dessert or take him out his favorite
restaurant.

Hope you have great Father's Day with your dad!

06/01/09 Rockstar- The Great Smoky Mountains

Last week on Thursday, May 28, on the way back from a funeral, I went to see the Great Smoky Mountains with my parents. It is absoluting gorgeous. My parents and I saw both beautiful water and amazing mountains. Not only did we see that, but we also saw many old buildings that people used to live in from late 1800s to early 1900s. There were old churches, grave sites, farm houses, and black smith shops. We saw animals as well, deer, wild turkeys, and a black bear. Finally, we also drove up onto the highest mountain in Great Smoky Mountains. We were at an elevation of over 6600 feet. We were so high that we were in the clouds too. It was 52 degrees up there and the clouds really look smoky up on the mountains. If you are looking for a place to go to have a good time for a vacation, I highly recommend you go to see the Great Smoky Mountains. It is an experience that you will remember for the rest of your life.

First it was established to honor Union soldiers of the Civil War, now it has expanded to honor any American casualties in any war or military action. Have a nice Memorial Day and please keep the U.S. soldiers in your thoughts and prayers.

05/18/09 Rockstar- Review on Green Day's New Album

This past Friday May 15, I brought the cd, 21st Century Breakdown by Green Day. I could hardly wait to purchase this cd as I am a huge Green Day fan. After listening to the cd, I found that I enjoyed it very much. I also think that 21st Century Breakdown is better than their previous cd, American Idiot. While I find that this cd is similar to American Idiot, I think that it has more punk-rock angst. The other reason that I believe this cd is better than American Idiot is because I feel that the lyrics are also better written. I would rate this cd 4 out of 5 stars.
