Writing a song is as easy as can be. Just follow these steps one, two, three!


1) Step number one is simple to find. Write up some lyrics, they don't have to rythm.


2) Step number two, let's see what you'll do. Tap out a tune, and notate it soon.


3) Step numbe three is the best one to see. Get ready to show it to your friends and me! Add on the chords and polish it off. Be happy with your work and never scoff.


Your song is complete. We all think it's neat. This song came from you! Look at what you can DO!

How to Impress Your Date...

... By using pickup lines of course!! The cheesier, the better.

-Let's plant a garden so I can put your two-lips next to mine.
-Did you fart, cause you blew me away!
-Is your name Gillette , because you're the best a man can get.
-Is your name Tennessee? Cause you're the only 10 I see.
-Let's rearrange the alphebet so we can put U and I together.
-Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
-If my nose was running money, I'd blow it all on you.
-Do you have a map? Cause I just got lost in your eyes.
-Can I have your phone number, cause I seem to have lost mine.
-Did you come out of the woods, cause you're looking foxy.
-Do you believe in love at first sight? or should I walk by again.
-Is your dad a baker, cause he'd have to be to make buns like that.
-Ask a woman for the time. "10:30? So today is December 14, 2009, at 1:41 PM, thanks I just wanted to be able to remember the exact moment that I met you."

And there's always the shoulder techniques:
-If you were a pirate, would you have a parrot on this shoulder? or this shoulder.
-This past weekend I went fishing and first I caught a fish this big (measure about 6 inches), then I caught a fish this big (measure about 2 feet), and then I caught a fish this big (measure about 3 feet and put your arm around their shoulder)
-You've got a little dust on your shoulder (brush it off and leave your hand there).
-(classy yawn)

and many, many more!!

How to Become a Princess

Crowns, jewels, dresses, princes, and happy endings galore! Being a princess sure has it's perks, but what is it that makes a princess become a princess? Since we cannot all be born into royalty, here are some helpful hints to turn into the princess of your childhood dreams.

1) Charming-Your-Prince: Your first option is to go to your local witch and pay her to cast a love charm over the prince of your choosing. He will fall madly in love with you and should marry you within the week. Expect to be charged a body part or precious item. But beware of being tricked yourself. The Charming-Your-Prince option usually ends in possible disappointment, enslavement, depression or death.

2) Damsel-In-Distress: Your next option is to play the part of a damsel in distress, commonly know as your typical D.I.D. It's relatively easy to execute and has a 83% success rate. First you will want to find a place that your prince usually spends his days, preferably were a "dangerous" monster is. Once again you will want to pay off this monster, they usually accept large and/or shiny gemstones, to hold you hostage or put in in some other dangerous situation. Make sure it happens in front or near by the prince. Remember to yell for help.

3) Hottest Chick at the Dance: Your final option is to beautify your prince. Make a call to your local Fairy-Godmother and tell her some sappy story about why you cannot go to the dance. If you convince her enough (it is best to play up the sympathy card), she will magically make you the finest gown , a horse drawn carriage made from a vegetable, and two accessories of the likes no one has ever seen. Then show up at the ball, fashionably late of course, and if you are the hottest chick there, you will dance the night away in the arms of your prince. Additionally, make sure you know when the fairy magic expires. (Normally it is at midnight, but once and a while you will find a random time.) Once the clock strikes naming your curfew, make a dash for home and leave one of your accessories behind. The prince will then frantically conduct a search to find you. Show him your other accessory and you will marry him at the end of the week. WARNING: There is a short window to escape and if it is not met, you chances of success will dramatically decrease.

Choose an option that works best and you too can end up as a princess! Your results may vary.

How to Be Thankful

As you all know, now is the start for the season of giving and being thankful. Past grudges and hatreds can be ignored or removed, so as to make room for those warm feelings. Happiness and gratitude is shown without so much as a thought of something in return.

It is also a time of gathering with family and expressing what you are thankful for. Throughout the year people become busy and do not make time for what is truly important. But Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Thanksgiving are celebrations of kindness, giving, and gratitude. These are places full of joy, peace, and love.

So no matter what holiday you are celebrating, spend it with the people who matter most and do not dwell on the things that don't.

How to Prepareth the Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey(Shakespearean Style)

Oh Turkey, sweet Turkey. 'Tis the scrumptious sepulchre of the meal. Once thou hast partaken of this Turkey, thou shalt know of it's divine taste.

First, one must cull a turkey to their liking. Thy turkey must be round and plump in order to be deemed satisfactory in thine eyes.

Second, with a paroxysm of fire, cook the turkey 'til sides turn a golden brown, not unlike the Autumn's leaves. Then turn down the heat in order to let the turkey exude it's rich juices. If thou does not do it just so, thy turkey will bilk thee of it's flavor.

Finally, serve the turkey in whatever which way is pleasing to behold to thyself and those who will enjoyest this meal with thee.

Havest Thou A Merry Thanksgiving!!!!!

A Song

Here's a song I wrote for my Music Composition class. It's called Who Am I?.

Who Am I?

There's a question inside of me,
And it's waiting to burst out.
But the answer comes with a price
Of discovery and doubt.
People tell me I should give up.
They will never understand
How much I have to do this.
I will find out who I am.

Chorus:
Who am I today? Tomorrow?
Am I special? Am I beautiful?
Wonderful, wild, and crazy too?
I will sing it at the top of my lungs,
'Cause there is nothing at all stopping me,
From finding out who I will be.
Who am I?

Tears come without my beckoning,
Reminders of my mistakes.
Falling down all over again,
I remember what it takes.
So I'll pick myself up off the floor,
Dust my shoes and wave goodbye.
Because life is one big journey
I'll start with questioning why.

Chorus:
Who am I today? Tomorrow?
Am I special? Am I beautiful?
Wonderful, wild, and crazy too?
I will sing it at the top of my lungs,
'Cause there is nothing at all stopping me,
From finding out who I will be.
Who am I?

I thought it was all one big test.
With the answer hard to find.
Come to realize all the searching,
Was for something deep inside.

Chorus:
Who am I today? Tomorrow?
I am special. I am beautiful.
Wonderful, wild, and crazy too.
I will sing it at the top of my lungs,
'Cause there is nothing at all stopping me,
From finding out who I will be.
Who am I?
I am me.

How to Relax (Brian Reghan Style)

Do you feel tired, stressed, or fatigue? Then you've come to the right place. Here are three simple steps to feel relaxed.

First, imagine a pretzel and try to form the shape with your body . It's as simple as folding your feet behing the middle of your back. Pretend there are no bones in your body and relax....

Second, play a complex game of Twister with a buddy you refuse to lose to. Make sure all of your limbs are securly intertwined to the point where breathing to loudly would make you fall, and relax...

Finally, exit this window, grab your favorite stuffed animal, crawl into your bed, and relax...


If you are still reading this, repeat steps 1 and 2.

How to Connect With Your Soul

I was listening to a playlist on my Ipod and it got me thinking on how music can really affect someone. Not only is music a profession, but a way of expression that goes deeper than just words. Music has power, a power that can change moods, unite a group of people, and give someone something to stand for. With so many different types of genres and artists, it's bound to make a difference at least once in someone's life. A wedding song, an ispirational hymn, or tune you can jam out to, are all personal representations of the art of music. Music is an artist's form of expression that goes directly into a person's heart and soul. It honestly is a way of connecting to your soul.


As the saying goes, eyes are the window into the soul, but, music is the key to unlocking the door.

How to Work Your Way Through the Social Structure of High School

This one goes out to all the new freshmen out there.

In middle school, you were at the top of your game. By being an 8th grader, you pretty much had the system all worked out. You were the oldest, knew which teachers were better, knew were all the class rooms were, and hopefully were on a few teachers good sides... But, as a freshman, you just landed yourself at the bottom of the social food chain.

Since jumping from the top to the lowest point possible can be overwhelming, here are some helpful tips to know where you stand.

Seniors are the top most head of the social high school pyramid. Since they have been there the longest, usually whatever they say goes. Yes, these are the people who win the class trips and cheer offs. The teachers know them and are comfortable with them. The only problem is 'Senior-Itis'. Most of the Seniors can not wait to get the heck out of there and graduate, so even though many of them do not care, they are the ones actually running the place.

Next up is the Juniors. These are the students who have been there the second longest and are counting down the days when they can be Seniors. Even though the Seniors are technically in change, it is the Juniors you want to watch out for. Juniors do not really have much power, except by being and upper class-men, but they will readily wield it when given the chance.

Following the Juniors are the Sophomores. They are not upper class-men, but the are still not Freshmen. They still have to submit to the Juniors and Seniors, but they are not labeled as "Freshmen" any longer. Therefore they are higher than you and have a much higher authority. These are usually the students who pick on the younger ones, meaning you Freshmen.

Finally, we are left with the Freshmen, or should I say "Fresh-meat". You are at the lowest form of the social structure, and the only chance of gaining power is by graduating to the next level. So the best advice I can give you is pass all your classes so you do not have to take them again. Do not do anything to invoke the wrath of anyone older and you will turn out fine... I think. ;)

How To Save Yourself From a Bear Attack

Here's your next update on the How To's:

First off, always make sure you have a buddy with you whenever you go out into the woods. Second carry a jar of honey.

When the bear starts to chase you, throw the honey behind the bear. If it's a no go, just run faster than the peson with you. ;) tootles
Hey People, sorry for the hold up. I've been sick in bed with strep throat. It's one of those kinds of sickness that leave you with barely enough energy to move from your bed to the couch. I think I just received 2 months worth TV watching.

When I started feeling well enough to clean my room this afternoon, it got me thinking how when people are sick they become such slobs. Not everyone is like this, but everyone I know. Ever wonder that? It seems like all your energy is tied up into making yourself better that you don't even have the brain power to realize how disgusting everything around you is. Wearing your pajamas three days in a row, not making your bed, no make-up, and desperately needed your hair washed is quite a scare. And then one day, when you start feeling better, you wake up to your wake up call.

How To Make A Car Go (sort of)

Driving a car is a very simple thing to do and anyone who can see over the dashboard can do it.

First, you'll want to get into the car by opening the door, sitting in the seat, and then closong the door behind you. Then you'll have to put on your seatbelt so you don't kill yourself. This is very important, because death is the #1 killer in the world. Next, scrunch your seat forward so that you have absolutely no leg room and can reach the peddles without straitening you legs. Then, check your mirrors to make sure you look good. Everyone knows that you have to look good to drive good. After that, put the keys in the ignition. This will start making the car go. (As a side note, having your gas filled up makes your car go too.) Finally, gently slam your (hopefully) manicured foot on the go pedal and *vroom!!* your off!

*WARNING* Your windshield wippers may cause injury...

Hello World!

Well this is my first blog post! I'm not exactly sure what to write about, so until I do, it'll just be my random thoughts and opinions. Stay tuned!
