DEJA VU Sabbath Day!

It Saturday, January 22, 2010. And I feel a little Deja Vu coming on. I remember a while back when I did a blog on the performance of Whitney Houston on The U.K. X-Factor.


It was called Minor Can Be Major, and Here It Is:


"My Fourth Blog!


A Minor Problem Can Instantly Become A Major Problem In Seconds, Especially Most Likely Towards A Person Who Just Cleaned Up Their Negative Act. One Example Is Whitney Houston. As You Know She Was One Of The Top Artist Back In The 80's - 90's And Then Tragedy Struck For Her When She Started Doing Drugs. Recently She Made Her Comeback, And So Far It's A Success. Past Sunday She Was On X-Factor, is a television music talent show franchise originating in the United Kingdom, Where She And Clive Davis Mentored The U.K. Contestants. The British Media Found Whitney A Little Bit To Rude, Ruthless etc. I Was Wondering What Where They Watching Because She Wasn't None Of Those Negativity, She Was Just Honest.


She Latered Performed Her Song Million Dollar Bill To Promote Her Album     (The Album Was Released In The U.K. The Next Day) And She Did A Mini Interview With The Host Of The X-Factor. The Next Day Majority Of Articles Were Saying "Whitney's Questioned Comeback", "Whitney's Weird Performance Gave Her A Top Five Hit" etc. The Things They Said Was "Whitney Looked High During Her Performances And In The Mini Interview"  And Saying Things Like Her Voice Was Cracking, She Didn't Seemed There When She Had Her Mini Interview. I Mean So Many CRAP.


When I Saw That Performance I Was Wondering, Am I Seeing Right There's Nothing Wrong With This Performance And She Didn't Look High It Was That She Looked Tired After Performance An Energetic Performance. Too Be Honest If Simon Cowell Did not Say Anything Awful About Her Performance Then One Word: SSSSSHHHHHH! (It's Not A Word).  SHAME ON DEM CRITICS! COME OFF MI HOOMAN WHITNEY MAN, BOXIDE. I Will Post The Link At The Bottom And Tell Me What You Think Of This Performance.


What Really Made Whitney A True Diva On The X-Factor On Past Sunday Was, During Two Minutes Into The Performance Whitney's Dress Strap Was Unstrap, But Like A True Performer She Is She Kept On Performance. Like A True Performer Always Say " The Show Must Go On!"
"I Sang Myself Out Of My Dress" She Joked.

2011 Hair Show!

The 2011 Hair Show at my school was so much fun. with the amount of hard work we went through, it payd off. Eeven though we got some mixed reviews on the show, at the end of the day it did not matter, because you know why, WE HAD A BLAST!


I honestly felt like I gained a whole new family. The amount of time we were rehearsing In the morning for 7:30, then practising in the evening at 3:00; with the amount of fun and games and food and jokes we went through.


I know you maybe thinking, whhat is the hairshow. well the hairshow was a performance about students in our school portraying and dancing like a chosen artist for example: Beyonce, Ike and Tina Turner, Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackson's Thriller (were we dressed up in zombies), Willow Smith etc.
And I know you may be wondering why was it called the hair show then; it was called the hairshow because we didn't worry about what to call it, we just wanted to make our teacher's vision come true.


My highlight of the HairShow 2011 was  the day after the show was finished, on Friday, January 14, 2011. The next day when the show was finished, was when we had a family dinner. Man that daay was amazing, and fun. We named each other with french names, because the teacher who was like a mother to us is french. And I didnot have a seat so the teacher gave me a little booster seat, then everyone start calling me the baby of the family...Lol man what A Blast I had during the Hairshow era. Loved Every second of it.
I am glad to put this in the group of familie's that I joined; My Biogical/Genetical family, My I.Y.A Club family, and now My Hairshow Family!





Thank You...and God Bless!

A New Year Resolution!

YEAH it is finally 2011; even though I wasn't really waiting for it too come because it means I am getting older. But this year there are many goals I would like to be achieve, and they are:


1). Spending More time with family and friends - I feel like I am a selfish person who wants to keep to himself too much, and it's gotto stop. My paternal grandparents would usualy say "how comes you don't call know more, thought you forgot about us", and that right their made me feel so bad about not calling them, and is is not like I was doing anything of why I wasn't calling them. but yeah, my goal is to either spend time with or communicate more with my family and friends.


2). Getting Involved in School - I need to get more involved in school because this year is my last year in school, and even though I would get a lot of homework which I did not like, I am still gonna miss school. whether It's elementary school, middle school, or high school, I am truly going to miss the amount of adventures I had in each year. And my goal for my last school year is leaving something behind for the school to remember me by.


3). Learning Something New - As I am turning eighteen this year, this means that my mother is no longer responsible for me. I feel like I'm a free man, but I am still goiong to miss the amount of fun and discipline I had with my mother and my family. But as I am going to the real world, it means so much things. Learning new things about people, envirionement, the business, etc. and I just hope I am prepared well to go and be an adult.


I Am Ready...





Thank You And God Bless.!

My Experience with the Christmas Redemption Project!

I am a member of the Soul Visionary Production Class, and we helped our teacher on her play called "the Christmas Redemption";  I was chief stage manager, alongside my friends. We had a hard time doing something like this, even though we had the music and tech cues on paper, the real problem was stage transitions (moving one scene to another). The reason why that was so much problems for us was because so much stuff was breaking which ended up making noise and allowing the audience hearing almost everything that happend behind the stage, also the transitions were quite too long. For the first two shows, the backstage crew was fustrated and upset because everything did not go well (But the second show was way better than the first show). But when it came to the final show of "The Christmas Redemption" Everything was going great, we felt like that was the best show, even though there were slight glitches, we still put on a great show.


The rehearsals were so awesome and we loved it. It was so awesome meeting people who you could have fun with all the time, man didn't we have a blast. I loved it. I hope I get another opportunity to do this type of thing again.

Thank You...And God Bless!

I Don't Know If This Is A True Situation, But Don't U Feel The Urge To Be Noticed. Sometimes I Am Almost Barely Noticed Until I Do Something Weird, Or Funny. And After Those Moments It's The Same Thing All Over Again, Unoticeable. Some People Say That Their Your Friends, But The Question Is Are They Really Your Friends?, If There Really Your Friends Shouldn't They Be With You Through Thick And Thin, Shouldn't They Be Helping You With Situations Like This!


I Don't Know! I'm Confused, You Tell Me!


Thank You...and God Bless!

Tragic Monologue: The Sequel To The Three M's.

Remeber a few months back when I typed about the tragic monologue, and that the person I had to choose was a person whom I resembled, Well I have finally made a decision! Instead portraying Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Or Marvin Gaye, I chose to be Jimi Hendrix!


I was actually suppose to be Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, but there wasn't enough information on him for me to write up a monologue. But Jimi Hendrix is the guy that I can portray. Jimi Hendrix was a legendary African-American Guitarist who had made millions. He is tragic because of his many drug addictions to Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD; which is a drug that causes psychological effects. He was also a womanizer, and had a big feud with his manager.


There is a documentary, and a bioflix on Jimi Hendrix. And even if those don't work, I am able to research on this guy. I Am So Happy, I Found The Chosen One!


Thank You...And God Bless!

My Favorite Show Thus Far!

You Guys Should Check This Show out! It is the Best: Its Called True Blood!

Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) is a telepath and waitress at Merlotte's in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, owned by Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), a shapeshifter—though this secret is kept hidden. One night, Sookie meets Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old vampire who has returned to Bon Temps following the death of his last remaining relative. As she cannot hear his thoughts, she finds it easy to be in his company and, over the first season, the two become romantically involved.

Movie Review/The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Wow, Wow, Wow, Wasn't This A Movie Too Watch!

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a fantasy-adventure film that


was directed by Michael Apted in 2010. The lead actors are Georgie Henley, who portrays a


the youngest sibling of the Pevensie kids, and Skandar Keynes, who portrays the third to fourth


child of the Pevensie kids. Later in the movie, the two end up entering into a magical world


called Narnia, where they have to help and save their friends from danger. All of the conflict that


happens in the film, are all connected to the book franchisement, The Voyage of the Dawn


Treader, writen by C.S. Lewis.

What makes The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage


of the Dawn Treader  the movie that you would want


to see is for the fact that the action are not seen by


the audience. Strangely, since we were not able to


see what had happened during the murders, it made


themovie more interesting to watch. It's basically


because they want to keep the movie a more of a


mystery to anticipate. Another thing that makes this


movie stand out is the the adventure. the adventure


in this movie was so amazing, it just made me want


to star in movie like this one. This movie also carried


a positive message; in the beginnig of this movie two siblings were not friends with their cousin,


until later on in the movie they later became friends because they came to realize that family is


forever and will need each other.

Overall, this is a great movie to watch! I rate this movie 3.75 stars!

Thank You...And God Bless!

Thoughts On Virtues!

My thoughts on virtues is, I wish there are more people who are shown virtuous! If you are


wondering what virtues are, virtues is the ability to give honor, and integrity. There are seven


virtues, and those seven are:




Chastity - Chasity is the ability to show courageousness and boldness to others, and to


yourself. It's when you are embracing honest decency and accomplishing purity of the mind to


your education and bettering yourself.

Abstinence -  Abstinence is the ability to have self-control, never-ending care for other people


and for oneself.

Liberality -  Kindness. The affection of giving or spending freely. being noble of your thoughts


and actions.

Diligence -  Diligence is the ability of showing enthusiasm and careful nature in one's actions


and work. Decisive work ethic. Monitoring another's  activities to prevent from laziness.

Patience- avoidance and endurance through balance. Solving conflicts peacefully, as opposed


to address to violence. The ability to forgive; to show mercy to sinners.

Kindness - Charity, compassion, friendship, and sympathy without prejudice and for its own


sake.

Humility- Honest behavior, caring of others, and the treating with respect. Giving credit when


people need it the most; not unfairly glorifying your own self.


Thank You...And God Bless!

Scripted Work Scene!

Today in class, we were presenting our scripted work scenes. I am stage manager in that class, and as stage manager I had to go around and ask everyone "What time do you want to present?" My peers were giving me so much fuss to where because of the position I gave them; nobody did not want to go first, even my partner and I did not want to go first, but since there was so much fussing about it, we had too. But it was quite funny because when ever my peers told me "your stage manager, you just pick who goes first, second etc." and then I pick what time they will be presenting, and then I told them, they get up set and say "No I am Not ready, that's not fair!" and created even more excuses to why they do not want to present that time. and since my partner and I had to go first and we did not want to it, it made us even more nervous.


We barely had anytime to rehearse which made us extremely nervous, which is why when we performed on game day, it was a bust. I was acting good during three quarters through the scene until I started to laugh. We were not full frontal, our scene did not look like how it was supposed to look; it was just a bust. I was just upset, but at the end of the day it wasn't worth getting upset of something t could of been done better. I Just wish I had much time to rehearse.


Thank You... And God Bless!

Media Presentation!

After we came back from the Ossington Trip, we had to come back with a story about something as I mentioned before. My story was about the diversity that the people in downtown toronto carried; whether it was by fashion, appearances etc. they all had different things about them.But after I finished my presentation, I felt like I did well, until my teacher gave me feedback on my presentation.


My teacher said that my presentation was not good at all; she said my personaility saved my presentation; she said I wasn't dressed appropiately for the presentation; she said that I did not create a good story to the point where my presentation gave me an R (a.k.a. an F). It was kind of a bummer for me because, like I said before, I felt like I did well. But then after, we were told that the extra ciriculm has changed. To get a level 4 we now have to meet and go beyond all the expectations of that work. This is going to be a rough time. 

Thank You...And God Bless!

My First Time Blogging!

 I Remember The First Time I Started Blogging, I Was So Excited, I Could Remember The Exact Words I Typed:

"I Can’t Believe I Am Doing This, Blogging, Whoa! It Feels Like I Am About To Start School For The First Time. This Is What I'm Talking About, Having My Own Blog Site To Share My Ideas, I Would Usually Search On The Computer And Read Other Peoples Blog But Now It’s My Turn. My User Name Is ds49. The ds Stands For My Name, Dane Smith. Now That I'm The One That's Blogging, Imma Be Me.  
First Off, Today Is Friday, October 16, 2009. And I Would Like To Talk About My Thanksgiving. I Spent It With My Godparents, Big Ups To Dem, But Was Supposed To Spend It With My Grandparents And My Father's Family (I Live With My Mom). After I Called My Grandfather On Tuesday, He Told Me That He Spend It Alone With My Grandmother, And Right Then I Felt Regret That I Didnot Go. So I Called My Father To Ask Him Why He Didnt Go? He Said The Car Broke Down, And That Moment I Thought To Myself That Family Matters And That You Should See Them When You Get The Chance. The Reason Why I Didnt Go To Spend The Thanksgiving With My Grandparents Was, I Felt Like I Was One Of Their Only Grandchild That Sees Them Often So I Felt annoyed By It, But Now I Feel Regret!


Family Matter's Guys, Family Matter's."


Man Weren't Those The Days! Dang!

Friends.......Not!

Friends, to me it means a new member to your family ( If I was to describe family in one word it would be Asylum).  You can talk about whatever you want to that person and not have him/her telling anyone else about what you said and not talk about you. So basically I'm defining a best friend.
This is one thing that does not define a friend: someone who comes to you with a smile one minute then gossips about about your back. Like is that a friend or is that a Big Crapped Phony.  Like if you were to do something by accident about your friend and then quickly tell them, that to me is still a friend because he's being honest. But if the friend takes your accident and starts to act up especially in front of someone then later talks about you, that my audience is not a friend is a snake.
Definition of  Asylum:

1. An institution for the care of people, especially those with physical or mental impairments, who require organized supervision or assistance.

2. A place offering protection and safety; a shelter.

3. A place, such as a church, formerly constituting an inviolable refuge for criminals or debtors.

4. The protection afforded by a sanctuary.

5. Protection and immunity from extradition granted by a government to a political refugee from another country.

Flashback Thursday!

I Told You Guys That I Will Be Back For Another Flashback!


On January 13, 2010 I Wrote A Blog About My Christmas In 2009, Take A Look;

"As You May Not Know, I Was In Jamaica For The Holidays To Visit Relatives, And It Was The Best Christmas I Ever Had, Thus Far!
The Day Started Off As An Alright Kinda Day, That Morning I Was With My Mom; Her Husband/Kids/Nieces&Nephew/Sisters/GrandNiece/Mother, And Let Me Say That It Was An Alright Morning. Since I Was With My Maternal Family Since I Came To Jamaica, I Decided To Go To My Paternal Family; But Things Came As A Horror To Me When I Found Out That Know One Was Able To Pick Me Up Or Drop Me Off, But In A Few Hours That Horror Turned Into A Relief Because My Cousin Was Gonna Pick Me Up To Go See My Paternal Family, And I Felt Reliefed (As I Said). When Time Came I Was There From Friday To Monday.
    
        But Enough Talk, When I Reach Towards My Paternal Familys Base I Saw My Grand Aunt And We Talked For  awhile. I Asked Her "What You Doing Today For Christmas", She Said "Nothing".  My Heart Felt Like It Drop In A Well, Then My Cousin Came To The Aid And Said He Was Going To A Party And I Was Like Oh Hell Yeah. So I Told My Father's Cousin And She Allowed Me To Go But I Had To Be Back At 11:00 Pm And It Was 7:30Pm (In My Head I Waas Like Kiss My A** , I Wouldn't Dare To Do It As She Is My Father's Cousin Which Gives Her Permission To Do The Lixs!) Since I Was Such An Obedient Child I Decide Not Too Say Anything. 
      So We Started Off Going To A Tiny Party, I Was Satisfied Because I Was Just "Gettin Jiggy Wit It" But I Wasn't Dancing"

Thank You...And God Bless!
