School Uniforms

Whether or not schools uniforms you should be worn has be a debate for some time now. Growing up I always had to wear a uniform. Some people think school uniforms will do nothing but cut down on a students individuality. Others think that if would help kids who's parents would not or could not buy them the newest fad, they would not be embarrassed or harassed because of their clothes. School Uniforms are expensive and have no use out side of school. School is also the place where the next actors, writers, artists, politicians, inventors, designers and and musicians are trained. Some people think that school uniforms send a message to students that conformity is important and creativity is not, that is constrains our constitutional right to free speech and expression. Students are regularly suspended for not complying with the uniform code even if their school work is excellent. I didn't mind wearing uniforms because I didn't have to decide what to wear in the morning.

Soccer


Soccer is played all around the world. It is known as the "beautiful game". There no set plays like in basketball or football. The game depends upon the creativity of the players. In order to become creative in the game of soccer it is important to develop the skills needed. Things such as ball control and seeing the field are good qualities to have in order to create on the field. Practice and experience is also important. The help of other teammates around you also influence your creativity. There is not one specific way to score goals. Every team has different formations and different styles of playing. Constantly strive to explore new ideas and ways of thinking about the game.

John Mayer




I found this video on John Mayer's website. It is a similar video to my other blog video on Girl Talk. He walks through the process of his recording sessions. It is different from Girl Talk because he actually creates his music by playing guitar and singing. John Mayer plays many different styles of music so he attracts a wide variety of fans. I saw him concert a few years ago but his style has drastically changed since then. He has become a great musicians and artist since then. His improvisation on stage was amazing and it has only gotten better. His creativness is shown in all of his music. He has played songs with anyone from Kanye West to B.B. King. If you are able to play music with musicians from such different styles you have to be pretty creative.
