Childhood and school life

Elvis was the center of his parents life and whatever they could afford to give their only son they would. They were poor growing up in the Depression but he never complained; he was actually very protected and his mother wouldn't barely let him go down to the creek if he wasn't in plain eye site. We this is thought to be because his brother died and passed away so easily that she didn't want to lose her last son so she was over protective. On October 3rd, 1943 Elvis had is first performance at the Mississippi- Alabama Fair and Dairy show he sang the song "Old Shep" and placed 5th but it didn't bother him because he got 5 dollars worth of fair tickets.

Anecdote

When Elvis was born he had a twin brother named Jesse but he died at birth so Elvis became a very sheltered child growing up with his parents because they had already lost one and they defiantly didn't want to lose there only one they had left. So growing up sheltered had a big effect on him because when he became famous Elvis lived his life to the fullest and everything he did (with the exception of going to war) everyone liked. His fans loved him and how when he did everything it was a big deal like when he gave out his Cadillac's generously to his fans. Probably the reason why he did everything was because he knew life could be cut at anytime and that he life wasn't always going to be there that he had to live it up the best way he knew how. He learned that life is to short not to live it the way he wanted to so he lived it with passion.

Reason for Fame

Elvis was famous because had created a new for of music that revolutionized  that music industry which was called "Rock and Roll". Rock and Roll was a mix of all the music that Elvis had listen to when he was a boy and but them all together that consist of gospel, country, jazz, and blues. He also made films such as "Flaming Star", " Jailhouse Rock" and many more.

They had a child Lisa Marie Presley February 1, 1968. In the later age of his life Elvis started a come back from having a family then divorcing and getting back onto his feet. Elvis would perform in Las Vegas a lot for a while until he started touring during "the come back" he roamed around doing interviews and meeting more famous people actually living a life and having fun. That's also when he got into the one peace jumpsuits that he wore at every performance a different one for every show and he started to get a little chubby. It was almost as if Elvis was setting up to live life as much as he could until death took him.

The doctor said that the cause of his heart beating irregularly was probably caused of an overdose on prescription drugs. Many people wept when they had heard that Elvis had perished and people from all over traveled to his tomb to show their respects for the "King of Rock and Roll".

Who has spirit... . .. um West Hills?

Who’s Got spirit …… Um West Hills

High school is supposed to be fun, cheerful, alive and vibrant; were supposed to be proud of our school and want to show our school spirit. Lately that has not been the case West Hills is not that crazy spirited school who gets the people standing on their feet all rawled up and jumping in their seats with excitement to support our teams, or going to dances, even just dressing up to on given opportunities to just be silly and stand out from everyone else. Not everyone likes to get all dressed up for a school that won’t get spirited together, as if they are to good or better than just trying to get associated with school activities. We are blown out of the water in comparison to other schools such as Grossmont, Helix or even Steele. They get really pumped up when it comes to football games(rival games), doing rallies, dressing up for holidays, or even just to make up random spirit weeks. For example Grossmont does a week long huge dress up week and the theme is battle of the sexes and EVERYONE dresses up probably a good 97% dresses up and they have games and people pumped up even if it is a little out of the ordinary the students are still willing to get jazzed up and participate in the games. West hills is more known for our outstanding academics which will make parents want to sent their kids to our school, but that’s not going to  make it enjoyable for the students who come to West hills. We need to band together get all the cliques and groups into the spirited way and help the our ASB by giving them ideas to go off of and they can make it happen. Being goofy isn’t fun when done by yourself, when we all get in to the vibe we can enjoy school and have a good time high school goes by to fast not to have fun while you’re here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Side Bar

Schools who get in the spirit are usually schools who have rivals and where everyone agrees on the spirit days that probably everyone could do no problem. Maybe if everyone decided on the spirit days some how or we got the school someway to help us choose better ideas we could probably get the whole school to participate in something that the majority of the student body wants to do. Maybe we could have a bucket and people can write down different themes and  ASB could  go over the themes and see which are the most popular to students. Perhaps the school could have a meeting and we could collaborate there about different themes for dressing up. The point is if everyone likes the theme more people are going to dress up so we need to find a way to do that for our school.

Coraline review

      Coraline is a creepy awkward proclaimed children's movie directed by Henry Selick. This movie is aimed to be the audience of teens to adults. Its scary movie style is signature of Henry Selick and he keeps his legacy going through this film. It is a movie that will get your mind twisted and get your heart pounding. Spoiler alert.


Stop animation is the style of the film Coraline. For those of you who are not familiar with stop animation let me explain. What they do is take a bunch of pictures of the move set and as if you were taking a hundred pictures of one person moving you would see the steps they took to make that movement. Basically the same thing with this film but they have to set the puppets in the position they want with the expression they want to get their final product.

Coraline voice of  (Dakota Fanning)  is a little girl from Michigan who moves to Oregon in to the pink palace (a large pink house) She doesn't like is automatically, of course what kid would be happy to move away from their home, lose all of their friends and family, just to go to a place where their parents did nothing but write all day about plants and feed u nasty food. Well what does a kid do when they move to a new place to live? EXPLORE! Coraline goes down a trail followed by a cat that scares her on the way to a water well. When looking for the water well a crazy person on a motorized bicycle rides straight toward her and scares the life out of her. She yells at him for scaring her and when they tell each other their names she makes fun of Wybie's (short for whyborn). He gets call home and leaves.  Later he comes back and gives Coraline a doll that looks exactly like her. Something fishy is going on here if a random person handed me a doll that looked exactly like me I would freak also.  She then gets bored and bugs her parents and  they tell her to count all the doors and window in every room. So she does and when she visits the living room she finds a small door that you could only crawl into. It immediately catches her attention she goes to her mother and tells her, she promises she will not bug her any more if she finds the key to open the little door but nothing was behind it but a brick wall when she opened it so she was disappointed. That night Coraline didn't eat dinner,  just went to bed but woke up to the sound of a jumping mouse that  she follows to the little door and the mouse went into it! OHH my this is weird. When she opens the  door its like a wondrous tunnel to an awesome new world. Coraline curious goes to the other side and finds its her house only something smelled really good. Teri Hatcher "Other mother" Going into the kitchen she finds that her mom is actually cooking dinner, the food is great her mom looks prettier than before and her dad is nicer and cooler. They eat and then go to bed and she wakes up in her room and everything is normal. Coraline tells her mom about the trip but that wouldn't be the last time she goes to the other world.  She goes a second time eats, then goes into the back into a huge garden of flowers that shape to form the look of her face. That's not all though she goes upstairs with whybie and watches the incredible jumping mice do their stunts for Coraline. Again she goes to bed and wakes up in her own real bed. The next day she delivers smelly cheese to the Russian man upstairs and he tells Coraline that the mice say not to go to the other side anymore because it is dangerous. Like that would stop her. Bored she visits the old ladies they have a lot of dogs and even stuffed ones. They read her fortune and tell her that she is in danger and to be careful but they also tell her there is good in her life but she takes the danger warning to heart. That night again waken up by jumping mice she goes to the other side for a third time. This time her other mother made her clothing, she eats and visits the old ladies down stairs. Before going to visit the old ladies the black cat from the beginning tells her that the other mother is bad and that she doesn't like cats. Which is weird because cats don't talk but on the other side they do. Coraline does not believe it but she will soon learn that everything comes with a price. So on to the old ladies house,and while there they give her a performance in their old ugly  bodies but then they unzip themselves and do a crazy stunt and swing Coraline with them. After she goes home and her other mother asks if she likes it in the other world. Well duh you have been giving her everything she has wanted of course she wants to. Accept when the other mother asked if she would trade her eyes for buttons to stay in the other world with her. Coraline fakes like she's tired so she could fall asleep and wake up in her other house but finds that she is trapped in her other mothers home. Other mother gets upset and transforms into an ugly tall mad other mother. Coraline is sent to timeout for acting up and is trapped inside a mirror with three spirits these spirits help her to strategies how to defeat the other mother. Whybie the hero that he is  helps Coraline escape but when she gets back home her family is no where to be found, soon realized  the other mother has them trapped with her. Coraline prepares and goes go back to the other world and beat the other mother at her own game  by playing games. They make a pact that if Coraline finds the souls of the three children and finds her parents she goes free if not then she will put buttons in her eyes. With help of some tools from the real old ladies and help from  the cat Coraline finds the spirits of the three spirits. The only challenge left was to find her parents but it was almost impossible but by stalling she finds that they are trapped in a snow globe right next to her. Quickly reacting throws the cat at other mothers face by doing that the cat scratches of her eyes and Coraline tries to escape. Other mother turns the floor into a spider web but Coraline climbs it squeezing her way into the little door breaking the other mothers hand of needles off her arm while shutting the door. Rushing back home Coraline sees her parents walking in and gives them a huge hug as if she hadn't seen them in ages. You probably could say she didn't know what she had until it was taken away from her.  Although it seems over it was not she takes the key to the water well but while she is walking she has no idea that  hand that was broken off was crawling to get the key from her. The real Whybie saves the day by crushing the hand with a enormous rock and dumbing the rock hand and key into the well.  In the end Coraline sees that what she has at home with her mother and father is way better than trading her soul to be tricked in to having nothing but buttons for eyes. For me the movie was alright 1-10 I would rate it a 7 personally, because it was a creepy cartoon and it wasn't my style type of movie.

"Two and a half men": Three girls and a guy named Bud

"Two and and half men"  Is a hilarious comedy with a lot of sexual humor. It contains a rich uncle  Charlie Harper  also known as Charlie Sheen, Allen Harper a.k.a Jon Cryer  the Chiropractor and over sensitive father depressed from his divorce from his ex wife Judith, and Angus T. Jonesgoes by the name of Jake Harper as his character.This show is mostly for the audience of young adults and up for its sexual content. So a recap of our show shall we? Spoiler alert if u read on you will read what happens if you would rather watch first do so now.

We start with a seen of Allen Harper in bed with Lyndsey a.k.a Courtney Throne-Smith, and waking up from his watch alarm. How classic and so like him to have a dorky watch to waking him up. Of course all he can think of is having sex so he asks for a "quicky". It's early in the morning of course not. What a horn dog right? Next seen opens with Allen opening the door to his brothers beach house in Malibu and seeing him laying on the stairs to his bedroom; no pants just shirt, boxers, socks, and shoes. Isn't this typical Charlie Harper just partying a little to hard. Really its hilarious but how old is he now is he even allowed to get drunk like that anymore?

 Charlie and Allen have a discussion about what they had been doing and the night before and of course Charlie can't remember but when Allen is asked he guiltily responds that he was with Lyndsey  and just got back to hide from Jake that he has been sleeping with his best friends mom. Ooh no now that's messed up on his part. One because he is sneaking around but two that could ruin his relationship with his friend and lets admit its not like he has many. Allen was just about to finish his thought of Jake being a little unsophisticated about adult sexual relationship when he sees not one but two girls sneak out of Jake's room. Whoa now how does this happen Jake is out doing his father and we do not even know if this was the first time, how is he going to pull this one? Turns out Tiffany and Joann were just friends and wanted to surf early in the morning so he slept on floor, or did he?

 Allen is satisfied with his explanation but when he tells Jake he should have asked but was no where to be found he lies and comes up with an excuse that he was at the gym. Yeah right at the gym with Lyndsey in her bed. I don't not like that he is lying but he does need to tell Jake soon be for Jake finds out for himself... (foreshadowing).

Allen decides to play with fire some more and goes to Lyndsey's house to sleep with her again when Eldridge yells that he is home. Looks like Allen's going to get what's coming to him, a rottweiler to the crotch. I didn't know they were attracted to the sent of whipped cream until this show which could and could not be true. Getting home he tells Charlie his eventful afternoon and finds out he has decides when you try to send your pants to a garment inspector in Malaysia its time to stop drinking, so he says. Instead gets drunk off of beer.

Jake gets home upset and rightly so he just found out his dad was lying to him his friend doesn't want to be his friend anymore. Jake goes running to his mommy's house like the spoiled brat he is and Allen sees he did wrong. Funny how it all worked out. Sensitive Allen has to apologize to his son so he goes to visit at Judith's house and gets yelled at by her. She is so mean i do not like her Character in the show but I suppose there has to be one party poop er. Herb (Judith's husband) wants to know everything of how Allen ended up hooking up with Lyndsey and tells them both a little gossip about her. Kind of a dork but a nice little neutral party to the show I like his character. Jake accepts the apology but before they leave Charlie sees two girls sneak out of the house, he is so proud of his nephew. Allen and Lyndsey decide to put it all on the table and want the two boys Jake and Eldrigde to be straight up with them.

 Good ending but who couldn't have guess what was going to happen. Still it was a terrific premier and a great way to start of a new season. The humor is the same and the jokes just keep on coming just the way I like it and the way 'Two and a Half Men' fans say they want it. They agree that it was a good kick of to a new season.
