Hilary The Democart Drop OUt


By Jayson CHandler
Walking to class Mr.Viles pulls me to the side and say "I need some help in class today." So i offred my helo and during this assistance I stumble apone the rolling stones magizien with Obama on the front cover. As a fellow political kind of guy I started to read the fallowing articals:

"Hillarys Last Stand." By Matt Taibbi

"A New Hope." By Fann S. Wenner

"The Machinery of Hope." By Tim Dickinson

All three articas had one thing in commen. The current Democartic race for a chance for the president seat, and the kind of "Up to date" info on the canidates. With Matt Taibbis artcal he touches on how Hilary is doing in the race, and what it reads:

"If this is indeed the end, she has nailed herself to her own cross." Says Matt Taibbi.
What Matt is getting at is, Hilary and her husban are to "old fasion". Because they ALWAYS represent somthing veary specific the Big Bisiness and LBJ. Wich is losing them votes or isnt enough. Then Matt talks about how Hilary was some new...once. And how she mad her way to were she was. what came to my attention was how Hilary did her narrowcasting or casting at all. Were Obama Uses a totly diffrent attack which is described in Tim Dickinson artical about how Obama is doing some ground braking tactics.

Iron Man: Hope for Marvel

By Jayson CHandler

With the new Iron Man coming out most people had one though in mind. "Will Iron man be as bad as the Hulk" Comparing ANYTHING to the Hulk is a major insult but ture. The HUlk was a really bad movie. SO most of us Ironman Fans had out fingers cross for the best. So I myself and some friends went to see ironman days after it came out...on a sunday! The place was still pretty crowded.





After the movie I was amazed! I only know so much of the actual story line an dthis one it felt real. It wasnt drawn out and dull, it had that perfect mix of action,comedy and hint of drama. With actors Robert Downey Jr. most people had lost hope. But when seeing Robert Downey Jr. play Tony Stark i would have to say, he was Iron Man.

Later as i jumped online a friend of mine told me there was a hiddin ending past the credits. I was dumbfounded. So I hunted down the "secret" ending wich i wont give any of it up. BUT lets just say Samul Jackson is in it and he was the man. This "secret" end opened sooo many doors for other movies.

DOOMED IN MAINE

BY Jayson Chandler

With graduation winding down on seniors, it starts to make people think what will seniors do after they graduate? Some seniors are heading off to college hands down, busting there buts off for every bit of money as possible. Others are heading off to the army to fight for the US. But there are some seniors that seem to be doomed to be stuck in Maine for ever. Seniors that just do nothing and slowly slip by graduation, no college, no work, nothing. They will slowly root at there parents house waiting for something to literally crash into there house and grant them a future.

Other seniors seem to say “Well I am going to take the year off.” Super! I under stand, probably for your situation you need to build up some money for college and fix your social life. I will warn you, there is a possible chance that this “year” you’re taking off will soon evolve to two years, three years and so on. Soon you end up not going to college at all.

It’s sad when you over hear in the halls at school when people talk about how they would rather work then go to college, and they think is a waste of money. NO its not, your “job” your working at is great for now. When later in life “your job” is still paying you they same pay. While the other guy that went to college is making 10x the money you are. But if you took the extra time out of your life in high school and apply of ANY type of future education you might have been better off.

God forbid XD

On the day of the renissance, the nokomis show choras had a little show for us common foke called "Godspell". Formost I would like to reconize the nokomis show chores for pulling off what our newspaper could not. Repeating a touchy subject or word, over and over and over agian, that word being GOD. Not in a negitive way but, tossing it out to the public with out getting ritiquled.
I saw the show chores performence fantastic, but the topic or theme seemded akward. Im not religous but, some peopel that are or even of a diffrent religion might have takin this show in another way. I felt that i was being pressered to seek god in some weird musical way.

Most of the people that i was sitting me agreed, for example KIm Bishop agreed that, the song repeating God made it kind of akward to watch.

dance of the militray

Gorillaz: Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head
Most of the gorillaz music is somtimes too weird to understand, and let alone interpitate into any thing...untill now. With the song "Fire coming out of the Monkeys head" i can find many things that suggest that Gorillaz kinda make fun of our "military" tactics.

With the lyracs
"Then one day, Strangefolk arrived in the town. They came in camouflaged, Hidden behind dark glasses,"
So with this line, the NArrator talks about camo, and sunglasses. Describing army soldiers.

Then:
"Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home Jump out from behind them, and shoot them in the head"
Back to same lines ago, were i was talking about the soldiers. Now there is description by 2D, on how some raids go on.

In a small conclusion (and ill haev more to say during my persentaion) This song has alot of meaning. With a gental tone, like telling a story a story of war, pillage and even government. The song effect the young geniration, puting this sence of discomfert towords militarys all over the world even ours. The CD was put out during the Iraq war. When the song describes on what the dark figurs are doing in the mountian reminds me of the oil issue, were having now.

Music and TV
Gorillaz: Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head

Narrator (speaking)Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain, There was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived.Their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world, Obscured as it was by great clouds. Here they played out their peaceful lives, Innocent of the litany of excess and violence,That was growing in the world below. To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough.Then one day, Strangefolk arrived in the town. They came in camouflaged, Hidden behind dark glasses, But no one noticed them; they only saw shadows. You see, without the truth of the eyes, the Happyfolk were blind.
2D (singing)Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holesWaiting for the sunset to come, people going homeJump out from behind them, and shoot them in the headNow everybody dancing the dance of the deadThe dance of the dead.The dance of the dead
Narrator (speaking)In time, the Strangefolk found their way into the higher reaches of the mountain,And it was there that they found the caves,Of unimaginable sincerity and beauty. By chance, they stumbled upon the place where all good souls come to rest.The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things,And soon they began to mine the mountain, It's rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world. Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly,Their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls. Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain. Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain,Holes began to appear, bringing with themA cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of the Monkey. For the first time, the Happyfolk felt fearful for,They knew that soon the Monkey would stir from its deep sleep. Then there came a sound, distant first, that grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space (echoes). There were no screams. There was no time. The mountain called Monkey had spoken. There was only fire. And then, Nothing.
2D (singing)Oh, little town in U.S.A.The time has come to seeAll the things you think you areBut where were you when it all came down on meDid you call me now?
