Train Spotting

Train Spotting is about a guy and his friends going through a heroin addiction. He goes through friends dying, he goes through methadone treatment and a lot more. I give it a 3 star rating. I liked the message of the movie. And I liked how it really has no positive moral like every movie, it just ends abruptly with no conclusion.

Student council update

There is going to be a dance on May-1-2008. It is for people who do not have any f ‘s on their midterms. On the day of the dance the people who get into the dance get to wear their own clothes as an extra bonus. During the dance you can dance with your hands on the shoulder-waist positions, but you cannot grope each other. We are having a bake sale on Thursday and Friday of this week during lunch and breakfast. We are selling hot chocolate, brownies, cookies, chocolate, and donuts. By Brittany

Music Review

(Hed) P.E.- Insomnia This punk metal band is one of my favorites. They have very energetic music and they get their point across. One of the reasons this band is one of the best in suburban noize records is because they shoot catchy metaphors in their lyrics. They talk about the war in Iraq, free Masons and also make fun of politics. I GIVE THIS BAND 5/5 STARS. By: Jeremy B.

Music Review Damien Marley-Welcome to Jamrock. This music is by Damien and Stephen Marley. It is like a sort of hip hop-reggae. This is one of the first CD’s by Damien and Stephen Marley. They usually sing together when they make their CD’s. This is one of my favorite song’s by them. I would give this song 41/2 out of 5. But I would only give the CD a 3.The song is good, but the CD is not very good.

Video game review/Need For Speed Carbon Own The City This game is about taking over territories. You also win money when you do this. Once you take over these territories you gain street respect. I’ve only played this game once. I just played this game last night. If you are looking for cool racing games I would suggest this game.

Music review

The song I am picking for this music review is Life. This song is by Kingspade. D-loc and Johnny Richter. This song is about watching for your life. It’s not cool to go around and not care about your life. You should care for you own life. Everybody dies and it’s not right. It’s not right for parents to bury their kids.

By Jason D.

Tech9 Misery Loves Company

And it is sick, he produced this CD a little different than the other CD’s, in this one he has a different style of rap and it is pretty cool. The only thing I don’t like is he didn’t rap with Twizted, ICP or anyone in Psycopathic Records. Other than that I really liked his new CD, but not as much as Eveready, that CD was probably his best one.

Music reviews

My music review is on Baby Bash. I like his song Roller Coaster and and all his songs and I like his other song called Shorty. Some songs are slow and some songs are not. I like what he talks about in his songs. On the song Shorty he talks a bout his chick.

Dear ARTEC,

I have struggled while being in treatment. There has been a lot of drama here at the transition unit. But it's not worth getting involved in. You just need to focus on yourself and hold yourself and others accountable for their actions. Don’t hide anything. just be honest in your treatment and don’t cover up for your peers. If you know something then let it out. I know that it may be hard, because you want everyone to like you. But is it really worth getting held back or do you want to go home? It's going to benefit you, you’ll earn trust and responsibility from staff and you’ll be helping out your peers progress. It will also keep you out of trouble and you’ll move through your treatment faster. I hope that you’ll take my advice, because I have experienced it. Just put your nose in a book, focus on yourself and don’t worry about the drama and rumors around you and you’ll be fine!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!

Music

I like Opm, and Kottonmouth Kings. I think the music is good, but can bring people down. The song I am choosing is “The Munchies”. It’s a song about food. The song flows about food and good stuff to eat. It’s on the No. 7 album from KottonMouth Kings. JTD

MUSIC REVIEW WHISKEY LULLABY

The name of the CD is Brad Paisley Mud on the Tires. The song came out in 2003. On that CD there are a couple of my favorite song’s like Mud on my Tires, Whiskey Lullaby and Little Moments. Whiskey Lullaby is my favorite song, because it lets me know I am not the only one who lost a family member by alcohol. I would recommend to anyone to listen to this song. By Matt

Movie Review

The name of this movie is called ‘No Country For Old Men’. I think that this movie is hella gangster, just cuz there’s a hit man that is crazy. Just cuz when this guy kill’s people he does not have any facial expressions. The acting in this movie is very good. They picked some really good actors. There are also some really cool guns in this movie, really sick guns.

Music Review Name of CD: Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert CD. Star Rating(s): * I really like this CD, because I like Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus (even though they are the same person). Two of my favorite songs off of this CD are: Start all Over and Rock Star. I like these songs because they are really fun to dance to and they are fun to sing along to. I like these songs mostly, because they are very inspiring to me. These songs taught me to believe that if you mess up it’s okay to start over and try again. By: Stevie Re’ R.

By: Jeshhkaaa :] Legend of Dragoon is the very first role-playing game that I ever really got into. I have been playing this game since I was in fifth grade and I still have not beaten it yet. It seems like every time I get the game and get to the third or fourth disk something happens to the game like it gets stolen or something like that and I don’t get to finish playing the game. I will beat it one day though. I have just made it one my ambitions in life. So if you ever want a challenge or just an all around good game then I would try and find this one if I were you.

Book review CHOKE

This book is insane crazy, its based in the same format as Fight Club. And it also is the same author, Chuck Palahniuk has a way of making a story so elaborate that it is a thousand times better than a movie. This book is about a sex addict who does'nt know what to do with his life, he goes to fancy restaurants and intentionally chokes on food so some one rich will save him and then they will give him money, because they feel bad for him. Through the whole book he is stuck on his fourth step of SAA.(sex addicts anonymous). Casey

Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney's 16-year-old sister, has revealed that she is pregnant.

"It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," Spears says. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he."

The high school junior who still calls Louisiana home told the tabloid she's 12 weeks along,, but didn't break the news to her mom until just before Thanksgiving.

"As soon as I found out for sure from the doctor, I took two weeks to myself where I didn't tell anybody," Spears said. "Only one of my friends knew, because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me."

See there are still people that mess up out there and it doesn’t matter how much money you have. There are still people that get pregnant and go to rehab or drive drunk. But that does not make it right. We need to remember who we are and just do what is right. When we do that we would not have to be here and we could be on the outs and do what we want when we want as long as it is legal. Brodie

TECH-9 TECH-9 is like ICP. But he has songs that are like rock somewhat. Most of his music is like ICP’s. I like his music because all the beats match the words to each song. A lot of kids here listen to TECH. But if you don’t you better start or else naw I’m just playin’. He’s good, check his stuff out you might be surprised.

Music Review 2Pac Dear Mamma This is a song about 2pac’s life. About his mom who was a drug addict. He had to sell drugs to survive and to take care of his sister. He died because he got shot. He is an amazing artist and all his songs are good.
