NYC

      At night there was a Latin event. One of the biggest tin American Legend was performing that night, he was brilliant, it was spectacular I was completely amazed at how much talent this man had.   

      While I was exploring these buildings a bird flew and stopped right in front of me, I thought it was beautiful so I took a picture of the bird. When I took a picture a bunch of people came towards me to take a picture as well.  

      After that, we went to empire state building and saw Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey. Although the day was kind of foggy I still took good pictures. I liked seeing all of those building. The man there which was explaining what these buildings were, he was explaining to us that all the people that come to work in Manhattan come from New Jersey and the Bronx, not all of them, but most of them.

      The next day we went to Times Square. Oh My God, it was insane I loved it! I couldn’t believe how many shows and gigs were going on there. All over Ads and people, there was a man dressed like a cowboy and he earned a living by all the tips he got of the women taking pictures with him all the time. I was full of excitement that day.

 When Natalie and my mum saw my ice cream, they also bought ice cream from that place, I was so busy eating my own I didn’t even try theirs. 

      I bought these glasses for $5 in the street, I thought they were funky so I wore them a few times, anyway, there was a selling ice cream, I got the most delicious ice cream I ever had! Yum it was so good. His ice cream was so heavenly.

So while we were just walking we saw a restaurant that had just opened, the waitress was very kind, so we sat there and I ordered an Iced Tea, but that iced tea was way too bitter I had to put 3 spoons of sugar in that drink. I was excited to see the rest of the city. 

A couple of hours passed and we wanted to see the neighborhood and just walk around, I was looking at how different things are New York than Cyprus. I saw this truck and it looked interesting because trucks here don’t have any drawings on them. So I took a picture. That say was sunny and fresh, there were workers taking out sodas out of the truck. 

On the 16^th of June we flew to America. When we arrived we were tired, hungry and just wanted to sleep. When we got to JFK, my older sister was waiting for us, because she used to live there. A couple of minutes after, we were heading to Manhattan and we dropped my sister to her University.

My Point Of View

Political Issues Are An Issue For Adults

Yes, I can agree because when a government is in a bad crisis, then most people get affected, for example when there isn’t enough petrol, it is more expensive now in Cyprus we people don’t have enough water, so that affects people in Cyprus because the government saw these problems coming.

Problems young people face, are the same everywhere

I don’t agree with this statement, teenagers in some Arabic countries have terrible lives for example, they can’t show some parts of their bodies, they can’t show their hair or face. Living like that is like living in jail in compare to how lifestyle of teens is in the U.S., Europe and more continents. But then on the other side I kind of agree when looking at another point of view like when a new kid goes to a new school in town, most kids aren’t in the best behavior. You can see that in schools are like different societies. Kids have issues and complexes with themselves sometimes. For example when a kid wants to fit in a group of other kids, then they might do foolish things to fit in.

Big Band Sounds from 1935 this week. Don't forget that this is your source for memories of the best of the Big Band Era. Join us each week as we explore the world of Big Bands, Jazz, and the Blues.

Why did i pick this podcast?

Jazz music has been one of my favorite types of music. I usually listen to jazz music when I want to relax and chill out. The Era of Jazz was incredible, all that passion for jazz and all the old time artists. Then Jazz music was about real talent. Nowadays artists imitate music from that Era (the early 1900’s). In the year 1935 there was a very big industry on Jazz music and number of different things. My favorite artists from that decade are these: Lee Wiley, Ella Fitzgerald and of course Louis Armstrong. Jazz was also used for the old time cartoons.
When Jazz became big in the industry of music, actors, dancers and singers wanted to be part of it. Jazz was usually sang, danced and acted by African Americans. Jazz music was also played in Europe at the time. Jazz was all over the place. It was played on radio stations day and night. Jazz was all about love and dance. People loved it. It was the most famous type of music. This brought something new to the table. Artists started singing and dancing to Jazz in a very rapid way.
I wish people my age still danced and listened to this type of music. Not how it is now, where you go to a party or something similar and the only music playing is R&B or Pop. Jazz has inspired me to be more open minded about the last Era. Then things were not as fake as now, artists had their own unique look, they didn’t try to look like someone else, like now artists start becoming famous because they started off copying someone else’s work. I wouldn’t mind going back in time to live those years.

I'm the one.

193 years old, mature, and thirsty for young girls at about 90 something years of age. My favorite places to hang out are cold dark slimy corners. I eat fish. The best type for me would look like this: too ugly to be eaten, scrawny, and gloomy. I hate sunlight. I do not want any hairy girls, or any Goblins. I was a very happy hobbit at one point in my life but when I lost the ring I was too disillusioned to even think about getting over it, and eventually became a creature. I developed a lisp, I’m kind of lazy, sometimes I’m hideous and I’m wild. So don't wait for anyone else. Im the one.

I Read to Her and She Remembers

The movie I chose is The Notebook. I chose this movie because it impressed me and I know I’m not the only one who loves this movie. This movie is one of my favorite movies. I love it, I crave it. Whenever I watch it I want to watch it again. I enjoyed watching this film not only because it had a meaning to it, because it wasn’t predictable at all. It’s not like the movies that Hollywood or Bollywood make nowadays that have no point and are just funny.
In this film, there is an old man called Noah telling an old woman Allie Hamilton, a beautiful story of two young people a long time ago, that she sure heard before. These two youngsters met at the carnival. They then ended their blissful relationship because her parents especially her mother did not like the boy because he wasn’t wealthy enough, so they moved to elsewhere. Allie was heartbroken by this; she waited for a letter on the mail for quite a while, then passed days, months, and years of no letter on the mail. She had taken a decision to move on and forget all about the boy. Then Allie met a striking beautiful wealthy man and got married to him. The day she was trying her wedding dress on she grabs the newspaper of that day and finds her first love on the first picture, she then goes to his old house. When she got there she got out of her car and said these exact words: I saw your picture on the paper and I just passed by to see if you’re okay. Their feelings never died. They were still there. Allie had to take a hard decision, who to choose, her first love or the handsome wealthy husband.

pigs in style

Stylish pigs have become fashion. Since 2003 pigs have started to make fashion. Designers have been inspired to make clothes and and more for these pigs. They even made it into FASHION TV. PIGS! WE CAN NOT EAT PIGS ANYMORE. These animals have become something out of this world. All this happened because scientists experimented on them. These type of pigs can not survive without an accessory to décor their pink bodies.

Take a chance

A life lived with fear is a life half lived.
I agree, life is something precious something beautiful. Living a life with fear is like living behind bars. Life should be an adventure. It’s such a shame that most people don’t try and make their dreams come true, they don’t chase their dreams, instead they choose security. The majority of people usually don’t take a shot. If you don’t do what you in reality want then what’s the point on living a life like that. Failure is an everyday experience and people learn from it, people learn from it and next time someone who has failed previously and wishes to succeed is not going to repeat the things they did last time. Therefore, failure is nothing but a lesson, without it success is not possible. Success is about achieving goals. When you finally achieve your goals you feel this pleasant feeling of satisfaction with yourself. You suddenly feel like you never want this amazing feeling to go away and you keep wanting it and loving and wanting it to happen again and again until you achieve all the goals in life.

- Ignorance is bliss.
I disagree ignorance is not a bliss. Acknowledgment is bliss. In case of an accident or something terrible happening to a person you should know what to do. You should be able to think like an open-minded person. If you just don’t know something its best to know it just by doing simple things like, reading books, watching TV, asking people about different things taking a walk around your neighborhood just doing anything! You should know what’s right and what’s wrong, knowing why things happen why people have so many ideas and creations.

- It’s better to take chances and lose than to never take a chance.
I agree. Not taking a risk and thinking about hmm maybe I could take the risk and succeed but wait no, I might not succeed! By the time you think of all the negative things that come in your mind your chances are going to be over! If you truly want it take the risk and if you fail oh well! Next time maybe I won’t mess up again. It’s all a circle. You just keep on learning from your mistakes. If you never take a chance then what’s the point on even thinking about it. It’s simple, you want it go get. So what if you don’t succeed there’s always a next time.
