delvelop your character

His name was Jack.A lonely kind of fellow.He liked to keep to himself and didnt talk much.Hide in crowds as if hiding from someone put was really just shy.When jack was with friends or family he was loud and spontanious.Loved to make jokes and do funny things.His family were his bestfriends, always there for him and never excluded him.What jack loved more than his friends and family was art,but mainly one kind of art,music.Music was his biggest passion.He always listens to music no matter when and where.If hes home and not listening to music then hes making it on his computer.Jack was a DJ.The thing below music was visual arts,but not the legal kind.The kind you see on the street and dont pay much attention to, thats his kind of art.Its a differant form and not loved by all,but Jack thought it as extravagant.Big pictures,differant colors well blended and flashy all telling something about the person who did it.Jack loves doing this kind of art to.going out with a backpack full of spray cans all ready to be mixxed into a whole.Each with their own divine purpose to tell people whos Jack is.Thats who jack is,seen by some but secretly known by even more.

Setting

i hear the sound of drum & bass in my ear as it plaiys from my ipod.
i hear Mr.Ewing as he coughs sickly
i hear the sound of yelling kids in the next room
i hear Mr.Ewing russle papers as he moves them from one desk to another
i hear the sound of the keyboard typing as i type this blog

i feel the hard key on the keyboard as i type
i feel my ipod in my hand as change songs
i feel the warm air moving around in the classroom
i feel the stiff starw that i am cchewing on
i feel the cold mouse as i move it to fix my errors

i taste the straw in my mouth as i chew on it
i taste the flavor of the italian dressing from lunch
i taste the air as i inhale
i taste the empty tasting water
i taste the minty flavor of a mint

i see the wide computer screen
i see the small screen of my ipod
i see the differant keys on the keyboard
i see the empty classroom
i see the ant on the table walking quickly

i smell the plain smell of the classroom
i smell the delisous aroma of jack in the box
i smell the scent of plastic coming from the straw
i smell the harsh smell of Deco markers coming from my backpack
i smell the nice smell of the outside

Drum & bass:
There are many kinds of music from all over the world. Some fast, some slow and some just awkward to listen to. My favorite type though is Drum & bass. Drum & bass is a fast beat kind of music mainly played at raves. It first came from hip hop beats that were slightly slow down and more sharp, this was called breakbeat. Breakbeat is the slow kind of Drum & bass that is more defined. Drum & bass has its own different genres, these are Breakbeat, Jungle and Speed core. Speed core is my least favorite, its just super fast drum beats playing at about 200 bpm. Jungle is my favorite kinda of Drum & bass. Jungle is more of catchy up beat drum patterns that run at about 180 bpm. Drum & bass is still a kind of underground type of genre. Its a big thing in parts of Europe and Australia. One of my favorite DJs is pendulum because of there different kind of Drum & bass

lyrics and response

Incubus-Drive
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clearAnd I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fearTake the wheel and steerIt's driven me beforeAnd it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appealBut lately I'm beginning to find that IShould be the one behind the wheelWhatever tomorrow brings, I'll be thereWith open arms and open eyes yeahWhatever tomorrow brings, I'll be thereI'll be thereSo if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hiveWill I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?It's driven me beforeAnd it seems to be the way that everyone else gets aroundBut lately I'm beginning to find thatWhen I drive myself my light is foundWhatever tomorrow brings, I'll be thereWith open arms and open eyes yeahWhatever tomorrow brings, I'll be thereI'll be thereWould you choose water over wineHold the wheel and driveWhatever tomorrow brings, I'll be thereWith open arms and open eyes yeahWhatever tomorrow brings, I'll be thereI'll be there



Response:the first time i heard Drive by Incubus was at home. my sisters put it on. when i first heard it i loved it. it became my favorite song right away. its a great song its self and many people like it.
i think that this song resembles me alot, because im a self driven person. im not driven by fear or any one else. i do thinks fo me. the song it self says not to be driven by fear and push yourself foward. To me when it say "whatever tomarrow brings, ill be there..." its saying no matter what happens or what the day brings tomarrow will come for me.im the kind of person to push my self along.
