Album Winner


I believe that Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" album should have won the 53rd Grammy award because in overall, it was a successful track. The track consisted of:

1. Teenage Dream
2. Last Friday Night
3. California Gurls
4. Firework
5. Peacock
6. Circle the Drain
7. The One That Got Away
8. E.T.
9. Who Am I Living For?
10. Pearl
11. Hummingbird Heartbeat
12. Not Like the Movies

I believe this was a successful album because since the release, Katy Perry was shot up to the top in U.S. and Canadian music charts, making it to the Canadian hot 100. Her single, "California Gurls" featuring Snoop Dogg was the top on the Canadian charts in 2010, selling 294,000 digital downloads in it's first week.
The song "Teenage Dream" was brought up to number twenty on the U.S. Billboard hot 100, as well as the Canadian Hot 100, and has sold over 3250000 digital copies as of February 2011.
Katy Perry has not been in the spot light for long, as she seemed somewhat foreign when she approached the music community, but it turns out her music is not bad at all. I think this album is very successful, and I think that this album should have been voted for the Grammy Awards.

Write The End

The walls start crumbling, the floors start shaking and everything starts falling apart; The universe can only handle one kind of chip. A vortex forms, and sucks up most of the fallen debris, as well as the rest of the room, until seemingly nothing else is left. There is a moment of silence. They see an omniscient glow above them; A bag of Buffalo Wings and Ranch floating in the air. It is decided

"A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words"


I think most of us try a little too hard and end up finding ourselves getting caught up in trying to analyze the most abstract things when there could be so much more in something we find so small and insignificant. I will be honest, when I take a first look at a circle, there probably is not much thought process as to what a circle actually is or represents. Although so basic and such a seemingly insignificant figure, it can be, and is associated with anything that is.. as long as you take a step back.
Rather than just seeing it in it's most basic form as a single shape itself, take thought into what it represents for other figures. Circles represent music (Circle of fifths), Colours (Vendiagrams), bring hundreds of subjects to the mathematical word, symbolizes infinite, represents time as we know it, and was even used to form mankind's best thing before sliced bread, the wheel.
Taking thought in what is actually significant or not in a figure is out of subjective opinion. Although not bringing myself to 1000 words for a pretty picture; I'm sure you could be getting yourself around to it.
