Research


I really want to play guitar so I could play all my favorite songs. I thought it was going to take hours of research to find out how much guitar lessons are and where I would find them but to my surprise there is a free online library of videos that teach you. This websiteà http://www.guitarlessons.com/ ß tells you about everything you need to know about a guitar and how to play it. That’s great that I could now learn for free online but now I need to get a guitar that I will practice on and I've never owned one so now the research begins. In guitar center the guitars are super expensive the most expensive one I've seen is $4,699 and it’s acoustic. Luckily for me I found one that is $24.99 which is more around my price range. I’m finding out fast though that there are many different types of guitars not just one and at Cassell’s there are none under $25. Also if I don’t want to take online lessons I could take real lessons for $20 at Cassell’s.

#1 Meet Ronnie Radke





My favorite band-ever, Falling in Reverse, is having a fall tour called The Thug in Me is You,kind of like one of their song names the drug in me is you, which is great by the way, the tour took place during Oct. 11 through Dec. 1. I of course wanted to go see them perform and not only perform but actually meet my idol the lead singer Ronnie Radke, who has been through a lot of difficult situations like being kicked out of his old band going to jail being into drugs and all that bad stuff but while he was in jail he eventually overcame all of that and wrote songs and if you listen to his songs you will hear everything. Anyways in order for me to meet my idol I had to buy a V.I.P concert tickets which were only on sale for a limited time and to my surprise weren't higher than $100 they were only $40 and i actually had my own money to pay back my mom for it. I asked my oldest brother if he wanted to come with me since i did get him into listening to them and i would feel completely lost without an adult there, and he said yes. Unfortunately i didn't have internet so i had to try and use my phone and I was sitting there for an hour trying to figure out why it wouldn't accept my mothers credit card, eventually i decided to go on my laptop and see if I could connect to a random WiFi connection just long enough to buy the tickets and I spent another couple of hours trying to connect to the internet. I was starting to panic and think that i would never be able to get them that day so i decided to give and try again the next day, but before i gave up i tried one more time on my phone. When i was waiting for the web site to finish loading i noticed most of the cities had been sold out in the few hours that i had tried to buy the tickets and i hoped that the tickets for Dec. 1st weren't sold out, but when i finally got to the bottom of the list i saw the tickets to that show were sold out. Dec. 1st was the only day that they were in Pomona, CA i was so disappointed and sad i was throwing a tantrum all over my house which i guess only helped to express my anger for a little while and hey there's always next year. 2013 tour with all new song and a new album which they will release in early 2013.
