Auto Tune

After ranting last week about willow smith it got me in the mood to talk about auto tune. If you don't know what auto tune is watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dqTrUpmwPg. Now a lot of people think that auto tune is always very extreme, like in the video. But a lot of artists can and do use it to extend their vocal range, and it can be hard to notice. I initially thought that this was unfair and taking away from the people with real talent. But then I thought about how people with a lot of vocal talent were really only born with it. So are they any more deserving of the fame and fortune?

School Topic: Beauty

Two things come to mind when men think of beauty, art and women, mostly women. Many people are judged by how beautiful they are. This is unfortunate for Conservatives because liberals have always been and will always be sexier. The only exceptions to this rule are Ben Jones, and Hilary Clinton. I consider my self very lucky to be sexy, because i'm a liberal. One of my not so liberal acquaintance's thinks his fro is better than mine, and i'll admit the competition is close. But because I am a Liberal and he is not, I win by default. Also i'm blonde.

Willow Smith

Willow Smith is Will Smiths Daughter if you couldn't tell. She recently started a music career, her first song is whip your hair here's the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymKLymvwD2U. It's obvious she got a career in music from her dad because she not that talented. This is a shame because there's already a saturated market for music, so she's making it hard for other people with real talent to get in. Also lyrically the song is complete failure. An example this would be at the beginning of the song when she says "hop up out the bed, turn my swag on" its kind of a catchy phrase but it was made up about 3 months ago, also i'm not sure is there is a single rhyme in the song. This shows she to stupid to even hire a decent enough song writer to make up for her lack of talent, although her dad probably hired the song writer. This is completely unrelated to being a liberal but I needed something to write about.

Silly Creationist Silliness

The other day one of my few conservative friends Ben Jones approached me and said there was more evidence supporting creation than evolution. I asked him to give me an example, he gave me a few, I am still working on some of them but one of them I have successfully disproved. The argument was that the earth moves 2mm away from the sun each year, so if the earth really formed 2 billion years ago then it would have had to come out of the sun. I disproved this with some simple math. The sun is 146 million kilometers away from the earth, one kilometer is 1,000,000 millimeters. The earth was formed 4.7 Billion years ago so 4,700,000,000 multiplied by .0002 equals 940,000 miles. So another claim disproved, but not all claims have been disproved and that brings up a good point. Because not everything can be disproved by science at this time, people just assume if you can't explain one thing that science is false and creation is real. It's a bit like a weed.

Evolution

I think that when many people hear this word they instantly cringe, or think its impossible. I would prefer to not talk about it also because I could be quoted and make the people who believe in it all look stupid because of something stupid I said. However it is something i'm interested in and it's easy to write about things your interested in, and I need to improve my grade as of late.

I'm sure people will see this blog topic as evolution and instantly close the page fearing an instant ticket to hell, (if they haven't already been stopped by the title of the blog). Which is unfortunate because they will likely continue like that for the rest of their lives living in a cloud of ignorance. HOWEVER if you have made it this far and don't believe in evolution I encourage you to watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vss1VKN2rf8. I think it well covers the basics of evolution and disproves a few different things that supposedly disprove evolution. I will blog more specifically about this more in the future.

School Topic: Justice and Fairness

There's allot of injustice and unfairness in this world, for example the disasters in Haiti. One Christian leader decided to blame a pact with the devil for this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPyyXQN8cG0. Thats almost as bad as half the stuff on Fox News.
