Teenage Drama


So this one is actually for a friend of mine in the states...
Teenage drama.... Back stabbers, plastic, mean girls, bullies...etc.
Noone would have these kinds of problems if you know how to pick your friends, and I mean real friends. someone who would make your life beneficial and less stress full.

But if you want to learn more about this stuff, I suggest you watch movies specifically these ones...:

I highly reccomend  that you watch Awkward, not only it is funny but It is really specific about teenage dramas and what they are going through. it is also detailed with pressing questions. It is filled with friends, not those "cliche" friend types, that s always their for you but real friends that you have in real life.


Rock music

Rock music...
What comes into your mind when you hear the word rock? Must be a lot of things...Kurt Cobain, Nirvana,Led zeppelin, the Eagles, Abba a lot of things... Funny because in a different perspective people think of this: Shouting, guitar, headbangers, drugs and a lot of other stuff, and for some people they think of rock, the solid aggregate... but I'm here today to teach you about rock music... what it was and what it is.


Wikipedia describes rock as a is "A genre of popular music that originated as "rock and roll" in 1950s America and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States. It has its roots in 1940s' and 1950s' rock and roll, itself heavily influenced by rhythm and blues and country music. Rock music also drew strongly on a number of other genres such as blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical and other musical sources"


See? easy definition... for Wikipedia, but what's yours?

My love for rock music has sprung from many people, family , friends and even strangers in music stores.
When I hear rock music, I think of bands great bands: Nirvana, Guns and Roses, Led zeppelin, The Eagles, The Who, Green day, The Beatles and many many more!!! Bands that revolutionized the lives of millions and millions of people, their lyrics being their everyday vows, their quotes being their everyday promise... Rock has touched our lives and some of you don't even know it...

Take Nirvana for example... It's song " Smells like teen spirit"


With the lights out, It's less dangerous
Here we are now, Entertain us

                                                 
Pink Floyd's " Another brick in the wall"

We don't need no education

We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! teachers! leave the kids alone! 
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

David Bowie's " Changes"

And these children that you spit on

As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware 
of what they're going through

Now don't get me wrong, Rock isn't all about Rebelling, it's about standing up for what you believe in without giving a damn about other people or the media, hey don't play for fans, they don't play for groups or clubs or countries they play for themselves and it's your choice to join them or go against them.

What is a nerd?


What is a nerd?



Lately nerds are becoming more of a compliment than an insult, and from observing some people and the internet of course, I realized that people are misinterpreting the difference between a nerd and a geek. The word nerd is becoming self proclaimed these days even they though are not nerds, now the question here is " what is a nerd?" , to answer that we have to learn what it is based on ( although there are different perspectives) like is it based on their hobbies? Their clothing? Their thinking? Their social status?  IQ? Since this word has become pretty much common, it already has a lot of definitions... so just comment if you have any ideas on this brief article. Because in my opinion Nerds are actually based on how they spend their time which is hobbies but in a more specific details like for example, I am a nerd, I like video games… but that’s not enough you have to ask like “alone? Or with people?, see there are so many bases on what it could mean that people are changing it, ( like the word “beliebers”, but we’ll discuss that  another topic), that the world nerd is actually turning to be cool, that even people who are not “nerds” are calling themselves nerds, which I think is pretty pathetic of them just to fit in a crowd… thoughts?
