Aerosmith Scary Moment
The band Aerosmith has provided adoring fans with 30 years of amazing rock-in-roll music. This past week that may have come to a screeching hult. When word got out that vocalist to the band, Steven Tyler, may have left. Not sure if this is true, but my source says that it is. Aerosmith may currently be looking for a new vocalist, even if Tyler's spot is filled the band will never be the same. I'll keep everyone updated with info as it comes my way.
Etna Green
Etna Green is working on their second album. This piano-rock group is taking a break from shows and will be focusing on the release of a new album for fans to enjoy. The new songs will have a bit more expermenting with other things. I have not been told of an exact album release, but adoring fans everywhere are going to have a new tast of this insperational band soon. Keep looking for updates on the album drop dates.
Love always

Miscommunication leads Misunderstandings
Even in the 21st century, communication is still a major issue in our society. So many technological advances are given to us, like the cell phone, internet, and email. However, it seems that the communication gap in our society has only gotten bigger.
Today’s society seems to have lost the way to communicate clearly with one another. This is hard to believe, considering we have so many ways to do so. Technological advancements allow for many ways to communicate, but these tools are not being utilized effectively.
Whenever there is a disagreement on anything, people do not talk about it, like civilized humans. Instead, they scream and shout, or they have arguments over MySpace.com or texting.
People tend to have their own ideas about life and the morals of it. If someone disagrees with the idea, then both parties get aggravated, and that is when maturely listening to one another goes out the window.
This does not get any part of the problem solved because nobody is communicating clearly. People just argue and fight to the point where they cannot hear or understand each other.
I read an article in the paper last month about the Goshen City Council discussing the protection of gay rights. Joined together were 135 people, but nobody was listening to one another. They just yelled and shouted, causing the debate to last six hours, and nothing was truly accomplished. People still were not understood as a community.
Teens, however, are the biggest example of miscommunication. In today’s society, teens will pick up a cell phone in anger and text their frustrations away. When this is done, it really shows how immature the person truly is.
I remember my sophomore year when one of my friends was irate. She thought it necessary to text me and called me things she should not have. This just shows how teens can be childish. I did not respond to most of the messages, but instead went on with my life.
This really just shows how immature our society has become, and is becoming more and more each day. If society communicated in a more mature fashion, lots of disagreements would be solved, such as wars. Wars are started all over the world, and most of them have started because of some disagreement with two or more countries.
If they had just talked about the problem then maybe it would have been fixed. At the end, blood would not have been shed for a cause that could have been solved by talking it out.
This probably will not happen, because people do not see a problem with how they handle situations. Our society has a lot of maturing to do, and unfortunately it does not seem like it will happen anytime soon.

Hollywoods Lacking Creativity
Creativity seems to be running a little low in Hollywood these days. All the newest films either have been remade, or were already a best seller novel.
Most of the films that come out into our theaters are remakes from earlier time periods. That is not to say that they are not good, just that it has been done already.
Some of our more classic horror films are being remade, such films as “Nightmare on Elm St,” which is set for release on April 10, 2010, and “Friday the 13th,” which was released on Feb. 13, 2009. The Halloween films have begun to join the remake list, with the newest one “Halloween 2” released on Aug. 28, 2009.
Granted these films are good, but people have already seen them over and over again. The plot does not change.
One of the popular things to do in the film industry is to produce a film from a best-selling novel. This can upset viewers if the film is not the same quality as the book.
Some of the best-sellers that have hit our screens have been “Harry Potter,” the new released “Ink Heart,” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Nick and Nora’s Infinite Play List,” “Marley and Me,” and “Twilight Saga.”
The final Harry Potter film, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows” is going to be broken up into two separate films. The first half will be released on Nov. 19, 2010, and the second half of the film is set for release on July 15, 2011.
This does not seem like it would be necessary because the book is not very long, when compared to other books in the series. Splitting the film into two different parts may ruin the quality of the story line for the viewers.
Another book that is hitting our big screens are “The Road,” starring Veggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron, which is a story of a man and his son on a barren road after civilization has ended.
Set to come to theaters on Dec. 11, 2009 is “Invictus,” a film based off the book “Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation.” This film stars Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon, following the life of Nelson Mandela while he is president in South Africa.
All these films that are coming to our theaters are just copies of books or remakes. A lot of the time the book is not done proper justice in the film, and those who have read them seem to not like the movie version of the story.
It seems Hollywood has run out of ideas for new plots to films. Viewers count on films to be more interesting than the generation before, but really the films tend to have the same plot or they are the same script just with a new cast. It would seem cheaper to just buy the older version of the film or the book, because really what people are paying for are the new special effects.

Faith21
One day while looking at the Forever21 website i found a online store called Faith21. This is a branch off of the Forever21 clothing line, it mainly cators to plus size figures. The store has alot of the same styles that Forever21 has just in bigger sizes. Sometimes i think about how the world is becoming bigger, but when i go shopping i can never find anything in my size. It may seem like the world is getting bigger, but clothing stores are getting smaller in sizes they manufactuer. Faith21 has good styles in sizes bigger girls may need. To access the site go to http://www.faith21.com/ or there is also a link on http://www.forever21.com/. If you have trouble finding things in other stores this is something you may need to check out. They are fairly priced and have the sizes you need.

Etna Green @ Ugly Mugs Thursday
Etna Green, the local band from Walkerton Indiana, is playing this Thursday [Nov. 19th] at the Ugly Mugs in South Bend. Playing with them will be the Radiance Effect, I am Band, and OhDonahue. The show starts at 7pm, I was told that the charge to get in is fairly cheap, so I'm guessing it will be about 5 to 10 dollars. The Ugly Mugs is located on the corner of Main and Washingtion Street in down town South Bend. Come out and support your local bands Thursday, look forward to seeing you there.
