Keep Your Memories Safe

I'm only a kid, but I know how important it is to keep your memories safe. When you grow old, you'll have only pictures to look at, journal entries, things like that. You should always keep your memories safe.
When you look back at old memories, you feel the warmth that the memories bring. When you record your memories, you are making things a little easier for when you grow old.
Store your memories, because eventually, you'll only have them, and not the people you shared them with.

Forget My Last Theory

They're played by two different people. Never mind.

My Theory (For the Losties)

I'm now converting this site into a lost one. I'll start with a theory that I strongly believe in. Read on to discover more.
Episode 2: Confirmed Dead. We meet the freighter people, and discover a little bit about them. But let's tune into one story, Miles.
Miles approaches an African American woman's house. When he's inside talking to her, he says: "Two hundred, Mrs. Gardener. I didn't know your grandson was murdered." He begins to walk upstairs.
I think I figured out who that woman was, thanks to Thursday's episode, Meet Kevin Johnson. That woman, was, probably Michael's mother. And her grandson, well, Walt. I am unsure, so I am going to go check the castings for both women to make sure they're the same. I am convinced.

Lost

Are you the kind of person that loves mysteries? Like to watch a bunch of people stranded on an island go crazy? Like to watch a team of rescuers jump onto the island and almost gas it, nearly killing everyone? If you've answered yes to all or most of these questions, Lost is the right show for you.
Forty eight survivors battle for their lives as new comers, the hostiles, and maybe some more people try to win the island. The war really is between the island's natives, aka Others, and the "Freighties" who jumped onto the island from a helicopter. And the survivors, they're stuck in between. So, at 9/8 central every Thursday night, you can watch all of this take place, and much more.

The Detriot Institute of Arts

Walk into the Detriot Institute of Arts (DIA) and be dazzled immediatly. Smiling greeters will nodd at you. Check your coat and climb about four stairs.
Looking at my surroundings, I look at armor from the Ancient Greece (my favorite time period) and Ancient Rome. I look at swords and knives - plain torchure devices. Blackened, and a little faded, blood is still stained on them, emprinting the memory of great loss.
Further on, I look up at the Diego Rivera paintings. Men are working on cars. The detail is so intense that you actually feel there for a moment. Rivera's paintings are spread across the walls. Dazzled, I move on.
By the end of the night, I had seen jazz musicians blast their instruments, blairing in order to show off their talent, I had seen models of houses from the seventeen hundreds, and probably a million paintings where I thought: Wow, how did they do that?

Wilco - Sky Blue Sky

The Chicago-based band, Wilco, has released a new record this past May. Their new record, Sky Blue Sky, is a new gem for the band's alternative.
From evolving from the late eighties - early ninties Uncle Tupelo, they've gone from country to significantly alternative. If you decided to listen to their first album, A.M. then switched gears and listened to Sky Blue Sky, you wouldn't know they were the same band. Except for the ring of Jeff Tweedy's voice.
With the constant bang of instruments, you could try and guess the band. But you really aren't sure until about eighteen seconds in when you hear Tweedy sing. It takes the world away from around you and you can just ease into relaxation mode. Tuning in, you can listen to Tweedy paint an image of the character he is imagining in the song. Take Hate it Here for example, you can imagine a man whose girl left him alone, and he's doing all these things to forget about it.
So, I suggest you try Sky Blue Sky out. It's proof the band has come a long way since Uncle Tupelo.

The Lightning Theif

This is my first review, so don't take it out on me. I've just finished the Lightning Theif and I loved it.
The book is very dedicated to the Greek gods. Percy Jackson, the main character, is on a quest to return the god Zues' lightnining bolt. He has to go to different places, such as the Underworld and the six hundredth floor in the Empire State Building. Yes, I know this doesn't exist. I recommend this book for kids from 12-14.
