There are many different forms of creativity. My most favorite has to be music. Everywhere I go, music is in my head! I might not be able to sing but I especially enjoy listening to rap music. The way rappers rhyme flows in such a unique way. I listen to rap music wherever I go. In the car, on my way to school, and even during school! It sticks to my head like butter sticks to bread. See, that rhymed. It never gets out of my head! But that’s why I love it and enjoy listening to it.

What are some major global issues? There’s many of them, but I really focus on hunger to be one of the main concerns. Hunger is one major issue throughout the entire world. Did you know that about every year, 15 million children are dead due to hunger?  Poor kids, that’s so unfortunate. Now, when I hear that there are hunger problems, I usually think about Africa, since that’s the place that is most common for it, but hunger is found all over the globe! One essential facts an=bout this topic is that 925 million people do not have enough to eat, which is more than the populations of USA, Canada and the European Union combined. (Click here to find more facts) How come this occurs? This may happen mainly due to poverty, which means people that live under poor circumstances and do not have much money. Poverty can happen if people are to lazy and won’t get a job, but unfortunately, some people live under poverty because they have no rights and their government is weak and poor as well, so the people cannot go out and find a way to receive money to buy food. That is why people are donating money and food to countries without that stuff throughout the entire world, to prevent people from dying due to hunger. I hope that this problem could be solved. It would really help if everyone contributed to donating.

Here’s a “brain buster” for you! Can you figure out what these pictures below are trying to identify? If you think you know, please comment below.

I found three blogs the other day that I am extremely interested in…..

I discovered a blog that deals with my favorite type of music, which is rap music. (Click here) What interested me the most is that me and this boy have many of our favorite rappers in common, such as, Eminem, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, etc. Another blog that seemed to catch my attention was this blog that had to deal with NASCAR, which is the organization where professional race car drivers race to receive trophies, money, fame, etc. (Click here) I wanted to know more about NASCAR because I never really understood how it was controlled or what some of the things meant, but now I could always have a resource to look at if I ever need to know anything about the sport. Another interesting blog that I revealed was a blog having to do with this person’s favorite basketball player, Rajon Rondo, who surprisingly, is also my favorite basketball player. (Click here) Good job to those three peoples’ blogs. I highly recommend that some others should take some time to read them, you would be amazed!

For blogging challenge 2, I chose to do activity 7, which is…

Write a post or use a web 2.0 tool telling your readers about a place you would love to visit and why.

Answer: I would love to visit Italy because I am a huge fan of Italian food such as, pasta, pizza, spaghetti, etc. They’re all out of this world! Well, not really out of this world, but you get the point. Moreover, I would visit Italy because of the historical monuments in there like the Leaning Tower Of Pizza or the Roman Colosseum. Those seem very interesting to me and I would really enjoy seeing them or take pictures of them to show you all someday. I also know that Italy has a very historical soccer team and I wouldn’t mind watching them play a game or two  to see just how great they really are. From my perspective, I’m guessing they’re great, just like the country of Italy itself.

What is a digital dossier? It is a digital footprint left behind you throughout your entire life!!! Check this out, it begins when you’re only 5 MONTHS OLD!!! Can  you believe that? I was to shocked when I found out that everywhere that you go everyday is being tracked with your digital dossier either on the internet or somewhere in the world. Now can you see why this was my title? I have not joined many online sites in my life because I am not a person that is really a master at computers or spend my whole life on everyday, but here are some of them. There are too many to name but some include Facebook, YouTube, Yahoo, Google, and when I was little, this might sound silly but I used to have a Club Penguin amount… but I don’t play it anymore so you can’t criticize me about that!!!  When I add in account information, I do what I feel is right to do and not give away specific information. I’ve never filled out more than the asterisk questions.When I “Googled” my name and my city, I found the basketball roster for my middle school that I was on along with some of my other good friends. Also, I was on for being on the honoral list last year for my middle school. I think it’s safe to say that I’ve left a pretty good number of digital dossiers along with me while doing all of these things throughout my life.
