I wrote this song- My brother was born on December 31, new years eve, 5 years ago, so during break, he had his birthday party. I wanted to write a birthday song, and i was inspired by this one song:birthday by the Beatles. I am composing my own music and recording it with my former band teacher, so i created this one(by myself) so i could record it with her. Once i record the song, i will post it so you can here the melody, but for now, read the lyrics! (personally, i think they're good!)
Birthday
today can be my birthday today can be your birthday today can be that
random persons birthday!
tomorrow can be my birthday tomorrow can be your birthday tomorrow can be
that random persons birthday!
you start at a certain day
a year passes at a certain day
for real for real for real
Theres not just one year
today can be my birthday today can be your birthday today can be that
random persons birthday!
tomorrow can be my birthday tomorrow can be your birthday tomorrow can be
that random persons birthday!
Everyday the earth
Spins around the sun
It starts anywhere, everywhere
When it hits the same spot
When it goes back to where it started
A year has passed
Sooooo
Everyday a year passes
Everyday it does
Every second
A new part of life is happening…
today can be my birthday today can be your birthday today can be that
random persons birthday!
tomorrow can be my birthday tomorrow can be your birthday tomorrow can be
that random persons birthday!
The sun (echo 4*’s)
The earth(echo 4*’s)
Are partners ()
They made us happen()
They made life happen
But who created them
That’s the mystery
That is something
Well never find out
Party everyday
Party every night
Party every second
For life
And also()
today can be my birthday today can be your birthday today can be that
random persons birthday!
tomorrow can be my birthday tomorrow can be your birthday tomorrow can be
that random persons birthday!

WikiLeaks By Lola Lafia
I wrote this! Two reasons why. 1.if you look a few posts back, you will read a little bit about my reflections about the article about WikiLeaks. 2. in school, we had to do independent writing pieces, so because i was interested in this topic, i decide to write about it! I think its a fascinating topic. Enjoy!
Up until a short time ago, the only way our culture could see what was happening around the globe was through the reporting of newspaper reporters, television, journalists and other publications. We couldn’t see by ourselves. We knew what was happening through other people, from their perspective.
Now, at every moment, there are people uploading posts, writing on their bogs, doing research, and emailing, which is now electronically accessible. For the first time, people’s stories and other accountings can be discovered through WikiLeaks. In founding WikiLeaks, Jullian Assange created a platform, a website were ordinary people can read primary witness’s stories.
WikiLeaks. Wiki-Leaks. It’s a website were information is leaked. The first thing that usually comes to a humans mind is to fix it. To fix the leak. It is both true and not true in this case. This is an information leak. Top-secret information is being told. Anyone who has secret files or information on world events like the war with Iraq can send the information to WikiLeaks and it will be shared. There are many positive and negative opinions to this.
Why is the WikiLeaks organization leaking this confidential information? That is what many people ask and many have different answers. Maybe, in the case of the Iraq war, they want to let tour government know that this war was unnecessary. Some say Wikileaks is unnecessarily interfering with our national security. Others say that WikiLeaks is trying to change the public access to information.
I did some research on what people think about WikiLeaks. I went to Union Market and interviewed people. Here’s what they said:
(names of who said what are not included)
“WikiLeaks wants a Democrization of Information. They think People should have a right to this information.”
- It is a bit like the Pentagon Papers from the Vietnam War.
“WikiLeaks is trying to force transparency. They are trying to force the government to let us in to see what our government is doing. ‘if you’re not going to tell, were going to tell the people.’”
“WikiLeaks is trying to improve transparency between the government and the people. The founder of WikiLeaks may have good intentions, but is not approaching it in the right way.”
“Opening the Government.”
- Some people are fearful of the fact that the US. Is in a situation that is putting us at risk. Because there is so much secret info about other countries, it could put us at risk with them.
“WikiLeaks is trying to pressure the government on how they conduct foreign policies.”
‘WikiLeaks is a non profit organization dedicated to bringing important news and information to the public.’ – That’s the first thing you see when you go on WikiLeaks.com.
Some head lines of recent entry’s on WikiLeaks are:
-War Diary: Iraq War Logs
-Collateral Murder
Unsurprisingly, a person who leaked some information about the war was a private from the American military. He sent confidential files about other countries communicating to the U.S to WikiLeaks, and then WikiLeaks passed it onto five newspapers; The Guardian, The New York Times, and three other European newspapers.
Now, Because of Julian Assange, we have access to this information and important news. We don’t have to read it or see it, but if we want to know what’s going on in the world, we can!
Back 2 School
I can't believe it! We have to go back to school already! It feels strange, you know, in the classroom.
I didn't really have any expectations, but i didn't want school! When on vacation, i feel like I have an endless amount of time, like i can do whatever i want; i have time to do want i want.
Also, school feels like the same thing every day. Okay, were learning new things, but its the same routine every day. I want a little bit of change.
But on the other hand, things are pretty great how they are now. But if something greatly new were to happen but not negatively effect me, that would be good.
What do you think about going back to school?
