Joe McElderry wins Xfactor 2009.

I am not a big X Factor fan but my parents and many of my friends enjoy watching the show. I watched the final tonight though. 

Joe McElderry won the X Factor with 61% of the final vote against Olly Murs. Joe McElderry is an 18 year old, performing arts student from South Shields, UK. However Joe tried out for X Factor back in 2007 but only reached the boot camp stage. 


I am happy to see young talent across the UK, being able to sing and perform to over 20 million viewers and get really far. I hope that Joe does good in the states like Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke.

Good Luck Joe.

Young Money Album Cover

To be honest I really like it for some reason. It's just different than having Lil Wayne standing in the middle and everyone surrounding him. I think it goes hard because you get a better view of the whole team which is good. I hope the album is as good as it looks. I can't wait for it to be released on 22nd of December 2009!

Introducing Trey Songz

Trey Songz (Tremaine Neverson)

Trey Songz is a very talented R&B singer. He has been around for a few years but no one has really taken notice of him until now. His music has become more famous day by day, you can't even go on ustream now without their being over 2,000 fans watching him live. I actually saw this video last night on ustream but I only just added it to my blog today. He has the looks, swagger, the voice and the cute smile to go with it. His new debut album called "Ready" is great, his songs are powerful and this is just one of his videos which has been released recently. (Click Play)

2012

[My Poetry]
So this is where it's going to end?
A date, a time of year, no one can prehend
It's just a myth or a typical mistake
How can you tell whether it's real or fake


God created this world for us to all live together
Jesus gave us his life so we could live here forever
So why would a particular date have a curse
Was this ever written in Gods book of words


There has been evidence which created this theory
But how do we know if we have read it clearly
The Mayans were the ones who created the pattern
To show us the days months and years and what may happen


But who's to say why there is no other variation
To that one piece of evidence of the mayans creation
No one has thought whether the Mayans didn't have time
To finish what they started and that is there sign


Many people are asking questions which cannot be answered
So many people are thinking there's going to be a disaster
Why can't we just see it as just another date of the year
Instead of it becoming a mental note due to fear


Live for today instead of thinking about what may happen years from tomorrow
Everyday is a blessing so don't live your life in sorrow
God knows what's going to happen so we can't predict 
Whether 2012 is going to end in a major earth human conflict.

What do you think of 2012?

Have you seen the movie? if so, what do you think of it?

Can You Count Your True Friends On One Hand?

The Beginning of Friendships
Friendships these days can be made anywhere, at home, at work, at school, online and many other places. We all need friendships to survive, friends mean a lot to us especially when it's a special occasion or when you need somebody to socialise with. I am honoured to say I have had many good friendships and also many bad friendships. Friends need to grow together to form a tight bond between themselves and others. There are many rules to friendships some may mean more than others. Friends should be honest, loyal, loving, caring and have anattachment in any shape or form.

Socialising vs Popularity
As a child we grow to want to make as many friends as possible as we see it as a great way to have fun and someone to play with when its break, lunchtime or after school activites. When we are children and we are starting to grow up we want to be seen as the popular kid who has many friends who are fond of them. However as you begin to grow you realise that being the popular kid has its good and bad points like everything else in life.

For example, if your a popular person you have to keep up with that role and if someone takes over that particular role you may not be popular anymore. As people can change their minds very quickly.


Big Groups Of Friends
It's good to have a big group of friends as they are there on special occasions and they are able to share and celebrate it with you and others. However when the celebration is over and it's everyday life again, will those people be contactable or at least contact you once in a while. We all have busy lives but when a friend is upset or needs a shoulder to lean on we are expected to rise up to the occasion.

Online Social Networking Friends.
These days mostly everyone has 500-1,000+ friends on social networking sites such as, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and many more. That's good because you are being social with people all around the world and you are able to comunicate with those who you never thought you'd meet and you can form new bonds with them and have a long distance friendship.However these friends are your acquaintances because you communicate while online and most of time you don't see them on a day to day basis.

Conclusion & Questions

In this blog I wanted to describe what the title "True friends count for one hand" meant. I know that now I have matured into a young adult, I have begun to realise that friends will come and go and which friends will be approved to join the one or two I have counted on my hand and whether those I have counted will be there in the next 5years. I know at least one of them will be around but it's my job to find the rest.

Can you count all your true friends on one hand? - If it's more, explain why?

The more friends you have the more valuable they are? - Is this true? or false?
