The Crazy Fairs of Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I'm really excited for this summer because of the crazy fairs that are going to be around and all the people i see there. Ther main fairs that most teens go to are the Sweet Corn Festival and Hog Wild Days. Hog Wild Days I would say is better than the Sweet Corn Festival because the fair has better rides, more room to walk around, they have fireworks on the last day,more games to play, and it seems that more people go to it. But on the other hand the Sweet Corn Festival is a great place to hang out if you want to get out the house. It has a limited amount of rides and games and not so much room to walk around, but that don't seem to phase many teens. I'm really hyped up on the things to come during this summer. So even though there ain't much to do Iowa, you can at least find a little something to do during the summer!

Look Whose Back!?!?

Mannnn it's been a while since we have heard from the Black Eyed Peas.This group was a major deal with hits such as " My Humps", "Don't Lie", "Where is the Love?", "Pump It", "Shut Up", " Don't Phunk with My Heart", and " Gone Going". The main reason for that is because most of the group members have been doing their own thing. Fergie came out with her own album 2 years ago but her hits are still hot today. Will.I.Am has been producing for alot of people and came up with a couple hits of his own that support our new president.You probably have seen Taboo and Apl.De.Ap in the audince lately on America Best Dance Crew, other than that they're keeping a low profile. Besides that, the group has came back with a radio killa. The new song is titled "Boom Boom Pow" is being played on all of the major stations, which is most likely to be another hit of theirs. I really can't wait to see what the future holds for this group because they're one of the major groups that is still going strong. So I have high hopes for the group, they better not let me down!

The Argument of Sampling Music

Oooooookkkk, theres been a big argument going on about the sampling of music. The main purpose of this subject is alot of company believe that they should get money for people sampling their music. Alot of music artist are guilty for doing this like, Flo Rida, Diddy, Twista, and many more, but I can't think of them right now. A major company that is causing the most problems would have to be limewire because teens/adults are downloading music for free. This is causing music artist to lose money and their record label to lose money also. Most teens I talk to say they rather download music for free because the money adds up when you have to have to pay to download even though they don't realize that its taking money out of the artist pockets. Some people feel that they are tribute to the artist when they make a remix or sample of an artist music, but the artist don't feel the same about that. But we'll have to stick around to see how this debate comes around.

The Chi City Car Show

Mannnn you don't know how excited I am for the Chicago Auto Show, which happens every year. This show has everything that a young teenager would want, which is a Car!!! The show begins on Febuary 13th and ends on the 22nd. It always takes place at the McCormick Place. The tickets usually range from $10 to $16 dollars depending on whether you want good parking included. The thing I love about the show is that you get to see concept cars, which are cars that never go into production, but it gives you an inside view on the new technology and new trends that will be coming in the future. I also love that you get to sit in some of the cars that people dream of having If I were you I would go early so you don't have to push way through the crowds of people. So be sure to check that out, I'm sure you'll have a great time.
