APA Format

APA format is used in research papers because it protects the writer from plagerism and copyright infringement. Citing a source means that you are giving the respectful to the owner or the finder of the information. A writer needs to cite a source because he/she can get into big trouble if they copy without citing a source. A writer if not summarizing a qoute but directly copying it they must also add the page number plus the authors name. A reference page is a cited list source that has all the information on where youy got your information. APA format is just one of the ways papers can protect you from plagerism.

Example: Pirate bay sells itself as "one of the most ressilient bittorent sites". (Pirate Bay)

Airplanes Lyrics

[Chorus Hayley Williams]
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) (wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) (wish right now)

[Verse 1 B.o.B]
Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin’ and smashin’ and crashin’
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you’re staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But that’s just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin’ what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I’m late
I’m on my way so don’t close that gate
If I don’t make that then I’ll switch my flight
And I’ll be right back at it by the end of the night

[Chorus Hayley Williams]

[Verse 2 B.o.B]
Somebody take me back to the days
http://www.elyricsworld.com/airplanes_lyrics_b.o.b..html
Before this was a job, before I got paid
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Yeah back when I was tryin’ to get a tip at subway
And back when I was rappin’ for the hell of it
But now a days we rappin’ to stay relevant
I’m guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo maybe I’ll go back to the days
Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when ain’t nobody listened to my mix tape
And back before I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for the decatur, what’s up Bobby Ray
So can I get a wish to end the politics
And get back to the music that started this shit
So here I stand and then again I say
I’m hopin’ we can make some wishes outta airplanes?

New Type Race Started

Haley Williams doing Hip/Hop???

There is a new song called Airplanes by B.O.B. featuring Haley Williams and Eminem. Haley's voice is awesome in this song and she really rocked this song. Props to Haley. Also David Guetta and Fergie got together and sung Gettin Over and it is an awesome techno song. I would totally dance in a club to it. Also my biggest crush sang Kissin You and Digusting (used to be by Ke$ha, also a good singer and beautiful artist)and if you don't know who that is.. It's Miranda Cosgrove (and no Jess... you don't look like her at all... not being mean or nice). I mean even if you are not a fan of her show... Her voice is beautiful. Also on another note I wish I could go on to the field trip with the 3.0 but my G.P.A. is just below that. It really sucks, but most likely I probably wouldn't have gone anyways... Oh Well... nothing I can do about it.

Random Fact of the Week

During the cold war, the nuclear arms race was beginning due to the fact that Russia developed after World War 2. A nuclear weapon is a an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. There are two main types, gravity and ICBM type. The arms race was when they were building more and more nukes to keep each other in check. There is more on this link if you care to know...

StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty

This August, Star Craft will be coming out with its sequel game to its already awesome first game out. Also Command and Conquer is came out with its 4th game. I recommend fans of that of that series to play it. I definitely will.

Value of Blogs in School

Blogs in the classroom can be beneficial in many ways due to their way to outlet students creativity and increase their writing skills. Blogs also give a way for students to cope with some problems they may have if they properly express it on their blog. Also blogs are a good way for students to express themselves. They are also good to improve computer skills in stuff like web designing and may get some students interested in those careers. Also I think that blogs can be a great way to record how much you changed over the last year or whatever... just like journals.

Prom/Barbeque

Well prom for me was a very special night as the place it took place at was high class. Also I got to dance with Angie, which made my day as she is a senior and that is a achievement for any sophomore. There was very mouthwatering chicken there (I hate chicken usually) and the mash potatoes was the bomb. I also enjoyed the BBQ until the basketball game when Alex put me down and ruined the rest of the day for me. I left and went home pissed off. So I missed the rest of the 45 minutes when they were doing the relay. But all in all I had a decent time at prom and the BBQ. I wish more people could of went to prom though.
