Freddy Mercury

       Today I'm going to talk about one of my favorite artist, Freddy Mercury. Born September 5, 1946. Mercury was a British musician, singer, and song writer. Most know Freddy Mercury as the lead vocalist of the band Queen.

     Queen had a ton of hits such as "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Killer Queen", "Somebody to love", "We are the champions", "Under pressure". As a live performer Mercury delivered to stadiums and audiences around the world. He displayed a highly theatrical style that often evoked a great deal of particepation from the crowd. Writers described him as "A performer out to tease, shock, and ultimately charm his audience with multiple extravagant versions of himself". He was definitely a man who could hold an audience in the palm of his hand. Queen guitarist Brian May said that Mercury could make the last person at the back of the furthest stand in a stadium feel that he was connected. Over the course of his career Mercury performed an estimated 700 concerts in country's all over the world. The band was the first ever to play in South American stadiums, breaking world records for concert attendance in the Morumbi stadium in Sao Paulo, in 1981.

      In 1986 Queen also played behind the Iron Curtain when the performed to a crowd of 80,000 in Budapest, in what was one of the biggest rock concerts ever held in Eastern Europe. Mercury's final live performance with Queen took place on August 9, 1986 at Knebworth park in England and drew an attendance estimated as high as 300,000.

     As a young boy in India, Mercury received piano training up to the age of 9. Later on, while living in London, he learned guitar. Much of the music he liked was guitar-oriented, his favorite artist at the time were The Who, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, and Led Zeppelin. In 1987, Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS, died November 24, 1991 at the age of 45 in him home in London, England.

HALLOWEEN

 

      The definition of Halloween is a contraction of "All Hallows Evening" also known as Hallows eve, and the day initiating the triduum of hallomas.

      Halloween has a lot of festivities such as Trick or Treating, haunted houses, hay rides, costume parties, ect. Halloween is on October 31, every year. I'd say Trick or Treating is the biggest event on Halloween, all the kids dress up as spooky monsters and ghost. They don't always have to be in scary costumes a lot of kids dress up as princess's or there favorite T.V characters.

      After the kids are all dressed up in there costumes there parents walk them around the neighborhood. The houses with lights on means that they are passing out candy. The children have to walk up to the house and say Trick or Treat to get there candy.

 

     Haunted houses have grew a lot over the years. There are houses in Flint, MI that are four stories high, and are supposed to be the scariest place ever. Inside these haunted houses its normally pitch black, people with chainsaws, and monsters trying to jump out at you and scare you. I haven't been to this one but I heard there is a haunted house with lighted floors that moves so it looks like your going to fall thru the floor.

      Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because everybody is always in a good mood and its a super fun time. I love to take my son Trick or Treating because he has so much fun, he loves to dress up and see all the other kids in there costumes.

Our Government today

 

 

Does anyone really know whats going on with our government today?

   You might think you know but there is a lot. I'm sure know our government is shut down. Petitions of impeachment upon Barack Obama. Talks about cutting Welfare and Social Security. I'm going to go over a few of these topics and give my opinion on these matters.

    First I will start with the Government shutdown, my definition of this is in American politics, when lawmakers cannot pass the necessary funding measures in time. Between 1976 and 2013 there have been 18 Government shutdowns. Politics are not getting paid during the shutdown.

    Now on this subject I'm going to jump over to the cutting of Welfare and Social Security. A lot of people have been seriously injured and can not work and deserve disability. But nowadays I see a lot of fat an lazy people out there that live off of the Government funds. Same with food stamps, a lot of people need the help and use it right to feed there families. Again I see people with 5 to 7 kids to support, no jobs and no fathers around, they need an education. If I'm not mistaking it is Wyoming that is making drug testing a requirement for food stamps. Which I think is an amazing idea people should not be able to get high all day and have the Government pay there bills.

    Now on to Barack Obama and this impeachment petition controversy. I wont be the first or last to say I did not vote for Obama either term. His whole (change) theory was a bunch of bull shit he is a uneducated liar and deserves to get his presidency revoked. These are a few facts posted right on the petition.

 

• President Barack Obama not only failed to aid U.S. personnel under lethal and prolonged terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, resulting in the deaths of a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, but also led an outrageously deceitful cover-up for weeks afterward, rivaling the Watergate-era cover-up that ended the presidency of Richard Nixon;
•  the IRS under Obama – in accord with direct instructions from congressional Democrats – has engthe Obama Justice Department, on top of its many first-term scandals, has spied on and harassed journalists at Fox News and the Associated Press, prompting widespread, bipartisan condemnation of the DOJ for “criminalizing journalism”;
• top constitutional attorneys from across the political spectrum now agree that Obama has committed certain specific offenses that unquestionably rise to the level of impeachable “high crimes and misdemeanors”;
• Obama’s Justice Department has presided over the disastrous “Fast and Furious” operation in which approximately 2,000 firearms were directed from U.S. gun shops across the U.S.-Mexico border and into the hands of members of Mexican drug cartels, resulting in the deaths of as many as 100 people, including U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry – a scandal that constitutional experts agree constitutes, at a minimum, clear grounds for impeaching Attorney General Eric Holder;

   People all have different opinions on everything this is just mine.

 Hey blogger today I want to talk about a baseball player by the name of Alex Rodriguez (ARod), he recently had made baseball history.

 On September 20, 2013 Alex Rodriguez hit his 24th grand slam, which is most by any player in MLB history, he passes Lou Gehrig who held the record for years.

 I want to talk about Alex Rodriguez because he has been going through a lot of problems lately, I don't think anybody can deny Alex Rodriguez has had a very nice career in the twenty years he's played pro baseball, but he has had a lot of issues in his career also like PED usages (performance enhancing drugs).

 In Alex's career he has hit .300 batting average in about 2,560 career games with about 9,808 at bats, Alex has scored about 1,900 runs, 2,940 hits,654 home runs, and 1,970 run batted in.

Alex has played for three teams in his career, Seattle Mariners drafted Alex in 1994 where he played until he was traded in 2000 to the Texas Rangers where he played for three years, there Alex was traded to the New York Yankees in 2004 to present.

 Alex Rodriguez has had had a lot of career highlights and career awards such as 2009 world series champion, 2009 Babe Ruth award, three time American league MVP, fourteen time MLB all star, and 500 home run club.

 In 2007 Rodriguez and the New York Yankees signed a $275 million dollar contract, which was the richest contract in MLB history.

 In 2009 Alex Rodriguez denied using performance enhancing drugs, when in 2007 Alex was on the T.V show 60 minutes and admitted using steroids while playing with the Texas Rangers.

 On August 5, 2013 Alex Rodriguez was suspended for 211 games from the bio genesis  scandal which Alex can still play while under appeal, if the suspension is upheld it will be the longest non-life suspension in baseball history.
