Family guy

My favorite cartoon is "Family guy" because is a criticism of a north american society. The creator shows all the prejudice and the things of the people who lives in the USA.
For me, the best example of this is the episode when the Lois try to be the mayor and her candidatures is not good. But, in the rally said this phrase "We not forgot the 11/09". Then, she won!
It is the american people... war, war and war. And the cartoon show this!
Coyote and Road Runner

This my favourite cartoon because it is very entertaining and you are always trying to figure out whats is coming next. The characters do not speak a word, and this is very intersting . And the most important thing.. it is very very funny !

cartoon

My favorite cartoon is Tom and Jerry.When i was young, i used to prefer the oldest cartoons.They are more funny and nothing is made by computer, like nowadays.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

Yeah!! man .. nice cartoon at start it was aried on Cartoon Network by a group of producers that have part of if as a another carton ( I don't remember the name now ) But the main actors are part It .

Copy your self?

I don`t understand why the people disproved the new music of Michael Jordan (ops!... Michael Jackson). How can a person copy your self. The original music, sang by SaFire in 1991, is written by the King of Pop and Paul Anka. This "new" version is a version of his own song. What´s wrong with this?
I Think his family is the guilty to put the jingle on the internet like a unreleased. By the way, the life`s go on and, nothing is new, everything is copy. And it is not only with musics, is in all life.
In a small town, there was a boy who was venerated by everyone.His name was João.In the 50/60's rock 'n roll wasn't accetable.
João was in the last year of high school, and he would be accept at harvard if he continuous with his grades until the last day of class.But he had another passion, much bigger than studying, it was playing his eletric guitar, what nobody ever thought.
When he was walking down the street he saw a paper on the floor wich invited people to participated of guitar duel and the winner would travel around the world and meet the most famous guitarrists, like zakk wylde , slash etc... There was just a problem, the day after the duel, he was going to have his last day of exams wich was the most important.
He had a big decision to make

This is plagiarism

Hard to believe but it looks like the King of Pop is also the Lord of music swipers.


At least that's what Paul Anka wants us to believe: "This is it" is simly one of the songs Anka co-wrote on and was recorded by SaFire.

c 4 yourself and compare

Eminem - Slim shady
Mockinbird

AS everybody know, Eminem is an american rapper. Polemic, because of his acts and even his songs containing mockery. Although his infamous "image", he composed a special song, called "Mockinbird", dedicated to his daughter and niece, sepecially for his daughter. In the song he keeps with his style, a bit aggressive in words but saying his true feelings about his life and his daughter, and the difficulties they had. It is possible to say it is poetry in a rap's form. I'm not saying he is a saint, but also i'm not saying that he only does the bad. Maybe he is just a "tormented" guy trying to find his place in this wolrd of critics, and songs like this tells me that he is not an "evil" figure.

BSL

System Of A Down (SOAD)

History:
System of a Down formed when lead singer
Serj Tankian, and guitarist Daron Malakian,they started with a band called "Soil" like a duble of unamed group.The name Soil probably came from a poem that Serj Tankian wrote, and the band later recorded a song under the same name for their first album.
The band met bassist Shavo Odadjian in 1994, who was also of Armenian descent, and had attended an Armenian private school in Hollywood, along with Daron and Serj.
In this time period (i.e. up until 1997, when the band was signed to American Recordings by Rick Rubin) the band achieved quite a lot, recording three demo tapes, playing many live shows and undergoing a name change, first to Victims Of A Down (after a poem that Daron Malakian wrote) and then to System Of A Down.

Albuns:
1.System Of A Down: My favourite music of this one is sugar , that the best of the music is not the vocalist ,or the melody , but the beat , the hit and the drums
2.Toxicity : After a long time they decieded to get a little more interested on the Earth and ONGS like green peace they started to release music with relations of this going to strikes , and this like that for reducing the polution
3.
Steal This Album! : Realesed in 2002 they started again making promoting the reducion of WAR this time with the music BOOM!
4.
Mezmerize : Realesing musics like old school and this like this ... they get too druged and starting smoking and using many drugs one of the guys of the group get out
5.
Hypnotize: They back a little bit to the reality and made the bes of them and released one of the famoust musics of them in a show and the other one realy good to the names was Hypnotized saing what the TV made with people and Lonely Day as the last album they released until they get hollydas and stop making records ... until now nobody knows what if they are going to back.


My favourite Song :

B.Y.O.B

The song iron man, talks about a man who tries to convince the people that it's going to be a big distruction in the future(becasuse he saw that in a vision). But nobody listen to him, so he becomes crazy and start destructing everything, become the "thing" that he has seen in his vision

Heal the world



A phrase like this sounds very cliché but here we are again - World Environment Day -June 5th. Strong calls for action (from whom?)are being made and climate change talks in Copenhagen are just around the corner.

This year's theme is 'Your Planet needs You! Unite to combat climate change', but the questions is "who needs the Planet?" The way things are going - pardon my pessimism - nobody seems to give a rat's behind about the future of our "home".

Seeing that we humans can live in the most inhospitable places, we won't mind living in boiling hot temperatures, with sea levels rising, and the air oozing of pollutant gases, right?
Needn't have and didn't need to

Both are used for about past events, but have a little diference. When used "needn`t", say that something "needn`t done", it`s means that they, but isn`t necessary.
For example:
. You needn't have washed the dishes. I would've put them in the dishwasher.
. I needn't have prepared all that food. They phoned to say they wouldn't be coming.

When "didn`t need to", sometimes is used in the sama meaning. For example:
. You didn't need to wash the dishes. I would've put them in the dishwasher.
. I didn't need to prepare all that food. They phoned to say they wouldn't be coming.

But other times, "didn`t need to" is used to say that something was not necessary to do based on the circumstances where it was. For example:
. The sun came out so we didn't need to take any rainwear on the trip.
. We had plenty of petrol in the tank so I didn't need to fill up.

Needn't and don't need to

Both is used to describe present situations. We can used to give permission to someone not to do something in immediate future. For example:
. You don't need to water the garden this evening. It's going to rain tonight.
. You needn't water the garden this evening. It's going to rain tonight.

But when are talking about general necessity, normaly used "don`t need to"
. You don't need to pay for medical care in National Health Service hospitals.

Need

Need can used like a modal verb or as ordinry verb. When "need" is a modal auxiliary verb it is always used in negative senteces. For example:
. Need I say more? I would like you to stay.

When it is used as an ordinary verb with to before the following infinitive and with an s in the third person singular
.She's almost dehydrated. She needs a drink.

The Furute Tenses

Well as we see tha examples that he gave us Like the Firts

I'll see you tomorrow> At this example that he gave he got a ideia of he just made a decicion at the this moment like when we are talking about something someone ask something and we just decide at the time

I'm Going to see you tomorrow > He just got the meaning of he realy will see the person at the next day ... like when we go work and say to a friend , because you know if he doesn't come .. the boss will kick his ass

I'm seeing you tomorrow> gives a idea os the same as Goint to see you tomorrow .. but this case is a planed decision since a long time .. but in this case you think about a real future .. like when we are going to pay a bill 

I'll be seening you tomorrow> This is like a prediction for a next future time, like something that i know that will happen tomorrow , and in fact it happens with some emphasis.


As I got the idia this show how we can discribe a situation that might , mus , also can or could hapen in a next future , a far future  or even a prediction

Present perfect simple x Present perfect continuous

Present perfect simple: relate a past action to the present and suggests a completed action and focus more on achievements and results and it's often used conjunction
ex:Have you ever tried japanese food?

Present perfect continuous: relate a past action to the present, it suggest that the activity is not complete yet.It's often used conjunctions: for and since
ex:I've been living in Rio de Janeiro since 1992.

double effect - a Dilemma

You’re standing by a railway line. An out-of-control trolley is heading towards you. Tragically, there are five people tied to the track ahead. It looks like they’ll all be killed. Fortunately you have a chance to save them. By turning a switch you can send the trolley hurtling down a spur, a side track, where, most unfortunately, one man is tied to the rails. But killing him would save the five.

There’s another option. A second switch would operate a trap door on an overhead footbridge, dropping an overweight unsuspecting train-spotter onto the track below, stopping the train (he’s large enough to do this), but, of course, killing the train-spotter. What should you do?

A ludicrous scenario? Maybe. But these, and other trolley problems, have been used by philosophers such as Judith Jarvis Thompson and Philippa Foot, to dissect and clarify our deepest intuitions about the morality of killing – about, for example, terrorism and euthanasia. Michael Otsuka is one of the leading experts on what’s been called Trolley-ology.


What do you do in this case?

Dangerous Stories

This boy, named JACK, was calmly walking through the house corridor, when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the kitchen. He got scared, because he was alone at home, so what could have made that noise?
He really paniced. He started walking carefully to check out what was happening. Ge got his baseball bat just to guarantee. When he finally got to the kitchen's door, he sighed and entered with such ferocity that even him couldn't believe. But what was really disapointing was the fact that the noise was made by his cat trying to reach to the sink top. He got so mad that he almost hit the poor cat.

It`s a machine`s world (Queen)


Lyrics | Queen lyrics - Machines lyrics





Meanings of the song:

- Nobody cares if machines have no soul:

- Nobody cares what machines do to humans;

- Machines are human-made, so they might have some of the human soul;

- Machines are superior in doing tasks and they don`t have to stop to eat:

- Machines are slowly taking control of us

- Nobody seems to care for anything but technology:

- We use machines (technology) too much;

- We need them for almost eveything.

2pac

2 pac was the first gangster rapper in U.S.A,  and propably the first one in the world.
He`ll always be  the best rapper in my opinion.
But there is a big question about him.
How did he die?
Everything started in the early-mid 1990`s  between artists and fans from west coast against the east coast.
The principal feud was betwen 2pac(west coast) and notorius big poppa(east coast)
2pac used to write songs specifically to notoriuos.In the songs he humiliate notorious his wife and all east coast.
The years were passing and this rivalry was just getting bigger.On september 7, 1996 Tupac Shakur was shoted four times in Las Vegas, dying six days later in the hospital.Six months later on march 1997 notorious was shoted and killed in Los Angeles, mirroring Tupac`s  murder.
Both murders remain unresolved today while numerous theories about their deaths have been posited.

If ....

If 

- If I were the king of the world, everybody would be the same.

- If I were a rock star, I would have a Gibson with Slash's autograph.

If things could really change ....


If the economy had not crashed ,.....


If being normal is what we all are, what would be of the great geniuses of the society?

Now i ask you, did you know that things like this happen everyday in Africa?
This diamonds have contributed to wars in Africa that have killed millions of people, destroying several small villages.
The diamonds industry knows that but they haven`t made pledges about changing the actual situation
When you go to the jewelry store to buy diamonds,  the jeweler don`t you from where them came from
The movie "blood diamonds retract what happens with the kids, the villages and everything, if you wanna know more about the subject, watch it.

The king of the world

Barack Obama was born at the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States,[6][7] to Stanley Ann Dunham,[8] an American of European descent from Wichita, Kansas,[9][10][11] and Barack Obama, Sr., a Luo from Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya. Obama's parents met in 1960 in a Russian language class at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, where his father was a foreign student on scholarship.[12][13] The couple married on February 2, 1961 and Obama was born later that year. His parents separated when he was two years old, and they divorced in 1964. Obama's father returned to Kenya and saw his son only once more before dying in an automobile accident in 1982.[15]
The are no doubts that obama`s life is amazing, and this a big step to U.S.A because he is the first black president there.Of course that everybody around the world expected him to win the post of president.
