Actually I am not a great math student, and math is not my favorite subject to study. I mean math is gonna be very useful in our future careers, but what I don’t like about math is that math is just confusing sometimes and I hate the feeling when all of those numbers are stuck in my head.
Tests have to be performed in education, I totally understand that and I’ve been taking so many tests as I grow up so I dont have any problems about tests or I should say students just have to take tests.
The French Graffiti artist that goes by the name Kaws is an icon in the world of street art and culture. His fame originated in his defacing of bus stop ads.
These small pieces gained notoriety as he started to do standalone pieces.
In the early 2000s he joined with the Medicom Toy Company to create toys, tee shirts, and various other pieces of clothing, and this year is his last with the company.
from small toys paying homage to his early years,
To huge pieces placed in various cities across the country, he has made a statement that will never be forgotten.
Kaws is a symbol of rebellion and youth that will hold true for many years to come.
The tiger has made threat once before.
It came descending on those who value freedom.
It was pushed back into the depths of poverty and despair.
Yet the idle threats begin once again.
Perhaps to make a point or boast to the world.
It does no good, it merely aggravates tensions.
The rest of kingdom takes the threats no longer.
They journey far vanquishing the mighty Tiger.
The Tiger does not go gracefully.
The Tiger roars and claws onto its last remains of power.
Heat and energy decimate the world.
Why?
Simply because of an unjust tiger refusal to die.
One of the downsides of the schedule we have at OVS is that our spring break falls about two weeks after everyone else has their spring break, and that includes my brothers. This past week, they road tripped from Aspen out to where we used to live near San Francisco. They spent the week staying up there in a friends pool house, and then on Friday they came down to visit me at school.
They showed up around 10, just as morning announcements was starting. After announcements, I was able to catch up with them briefly before having to head off to class. My dad and Peter drove to Ventura to hang out while I finished my classes, while my youngest brother Philip joined me.
Years ago, I remember watching a French movie about war. In all honesty, that’s about all I remember, except for this one scene in the middle of a snowy field with an officer in blue standing in the middle. The actors spoke in French, and being fluent in French myself, I followed along as best I could. What I didn’t quite catch, I would refer to the english subtitles in order to interpret.
Because I was so focused on understanding what the characters were saying, I missed a lot of what was actually happening in the film. I do remember that it was amazing though.
This week in A.P. World History, we were assigned group projects. My partners and I were assigned a prompt asking us to compare what our textbook told us about WWI to the song “Christmas in the Trenches” by John McCutcheon. As I listened to the song, I suddenly realized that the scene being set by the singer was one somewhat familiar to the movie I had seen years before, Joyeux Noel.
This week, my research has helped me to understand why that movie was so amazing. I had no idea that it was reenacting the Christmas Truce of 1914, where soldiers on a battlefield during WWI called an unofficial truce for the holidays.
I’m almost done with these lists, I swear. However, there are still a couple of lists that need to be corrected. Featured this time in part four of this series is why their list of the greatest albums is wrong.
The Actual Greatest Albums of All Time
1. The Rolling Stone says: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band- The Beatles
Jack Beverly says: Pet Sounds-The Beach Boys
Slightly before Brian Wilson went insane, he and the rest of the Beach Boys made what can be described in no other way than a pure masterpiece. Wilson produced this album in such a way where all of the instruments come together to make one pure and unique sound that flows all the way through the album. I cannot emphasize how unique and incredible the production is on this album.
2. The Rolling Stone says: Pet Sounds-The Beach Boys
Jack Beverly says: Exile on Main Street-The Rolling Stones
This is quite possibly the greatest rock n roll album ever made. Even though the album was made by several British people, it sounds so authentically Southern and true. Songs like “Shake your hips” and “Ventilator Blues” are jsut a few of the songs that get stuck in your head after hearing them. Plus, this album has some of the greatest, and most rushed artwork in music history.

3. The Rolling Stone says: Revolver – The Beatles
Jack Beverly says: The White Album-The Beatles
It’s pretty hard to find fault with this album, or with the Beatles in general. The only reason I had a hard time choosing this album over anything else they’ve done is simply because it’s longer. Rubber Soul and Abby Road were easy contenders, but, once again, The White album is just longer. It is a pure masterpiece of the Beatles, and truly showcases all the were.
