SilverRoom Block Party!

                                                     Hey, I have another post about something I did last Saturday. Last Saturday there was a Block party located in the lot of the store SilverRoom. I have attend this party every July 16nth  since 2009. At this Block party there is a circle in the middle of the lot were you dance to the music.The genre of music they play is House. (unless a Dj came if a Dj came he or she would mix different styles of music.) I went in that circle every once in a while and showed my stuff. Everybody thought I was good at dancing.To show that they liked my dancing they cheered. I would just go in the circle. Then when dancing I was done I would leave.

                                                            The Silver Room Block party is the day before my mom and dad's friend Kregs birthday. So after we left the party we went to his house to play the MJ video game on PS3. I showed my skills on that as well, so basically people were impressed with yours truly. But dance wasn’t the only thing that people were impressed with. You guys know how I have an Afro. Well it was an absolute magnet to everyone at the party. I couldn’t walk 3 steps without someone either acknowledging my fro or touching it  was like what happens to me every day just with people I don’t know.

                                 Hey, I’m back with great news. Last Saturday I was at the Pitch Fork Music Festival. I got in for free and was in the V.I.P section. You're probably wondering how I got into the festival for free right? Well, it was pretty simple my mom found a writing camp (one of the many camps I attended now) that in order to get in you had to write about your favorite song or one of them. I chose a song called Remember the Name. That song is very cool to me because of its instrumentals and its rap.(Before you go and buy this song make sure to get the clean version.)  That is not my favorite song.  I  don’t have a favorite song although I like that song a lot.

                       A few weeks after I sent my document my mom got an email saying that I got in the camp. The camp was held at a store called The Boring store. (The store wasn’t boring at all it had cool stuff inside of it.) The class was on learning how to interview people. We had to learn how to interview people because we would be interviewing some of the bands at Pitch Fork.

                         Yep, you heard me interviewing bands at Pitch Fork. I went on the last day you could have gone Sunday. I interviewed the following bands: Zola Jesus, Health, Shabazz Palices, Kirt Vile, and a DJ Chrissy Murderbot. When I entered Pitch Fork I didn’t know what to expect. While inside of the festival I felt cool but at the same time I felt sick. The cool feeling came from the artists taking us seriously and being in the back stage area. The sick feeling came from smokey ,fat, sweaty, and  red-faced guys. My overall experience was outstanding. 

                        Like I said the artists took us seriously, which made us happy. The artists also talked on our level as children without being condescending. I read a article about Pitch Fork before I went there and it talked about how Pitch Fork has a lot of people coming. It has about 1800 people everyday.With that said it's big but not to big. There was also something in  the article that said that there was going to be this band that raps. The band raps about  abusing women and raping girls. It also raps about beating gays, bisexuals, transgenders, and lesbians. I disliked the band the moment I read the article.  The bands name is Odd Future Wolf Gang. I did not hear them play or interview them thank god. In my opinion you should show your talent to get famous not make people scared to get famous. Unless your talent is to scare people.

Harry Potter part 2 screening

                         The last Installment of J.K. Rowling’s wonderful series has finally come to an end well at least the movies ended and the books have come to an end. Well, the point is, they are both done. I have a little bitter sweat sensation to this ending. The bitter is, I don’t think that we will see Daniel or Emma or even Rupert in American film. So I  am afraid that when I become a star in America I won't see them.  It is also like when you have to come from an extended sleepover. It's that almost wanting to cry but not wanting to embarrass yourself in front of your  friends feeling. The sweet part is the happiness that they finished something they started and they grew up to be wonderful adults. I am not old enough to have kids but I think that the sweet part of the series ending feels like seeing your child graduate college and live on their own and become successful people.

                       I have read all of the Harry Potters and enjoyed every bit of it. Even when I was mad when characters died,  I still  enjoyed the book. Now I have seen all the movies of Harry Potter as of yesterday yes yesterday I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 yesterday. It was a Private screening that started at 6 o’clock and ended around 8. This private screening was held at Navy Pier's IMAX theatre and it was a fundraiser for Urban Prep Charter Academy. G-moms (my grandmother) took me. 

            The last movie in the production was awesome- it had every thing I expected plus more! I never thought they would show the epilogue or make Voldemort’s death look so cool. I didn't expect them to make Harry’s death scene cool! There was only one part in the movie that I disliked.  I disliked how they made Harry, Ginny, and Ron look old in the epilogue but made the (hotty mic hotty hotty) Heromine look the same, which I am somewhat fine with but still it made me mad because I think they either should have made everyone look old or everyone look young.

                       Now it is time for me to compare the movies to the books. 
Book 1 vs. movie 1: Sorcerer's Stone
          I have to say movie 1 for this one the first book was excellent but it didn’t have that much comedy or that much action which the first movie had.

Movie 2 vs. Book 2: Chamber of Secrets 
           I must say book 2 had the movie 2 beat. The book had more detail with comedy, action, and got deeper into he characters.

Book 3 vs. Movie 3: Prisoner of Azkaban 
          Absolutely has to go to the (drum roll) the 3^rd book. The book brought in new characters without forgetting the old ones it also had a lot of mystery with a sprinkle of new spells. (Patronus charm). Book 4 vs. Movie 4: Goblet of Fire
          My vote goes to movie by a little margin. They are almost equal--its just that after I read the 4th book when I saw the movie it brought the best graphics ever!  I mean, it made what I pictured in my head look like $#! &&.
Book 5 vs. Movie 5: Order of the Phoenix 
          The vote must go to a TIE because they both were evenly good in my opinion (to tell you the truth its mostly because the 4th movie put a picture of nearly everything in my head.)   
6^th book vs. the 6^th movie: Half Blood Prince 
    My vote for this one is going to the 6^th book in my opinion. They made the 6^th movie bull crap. It was my least favorite of all the movies. The 6^th movie didn’t have good scenes or good action. 

The first part of the seventh book vs. the first part of the seventh movie: The Deathly Hallows Part 1                 My vote goes to the first part of the seventh book over the movie.  It was close. It was difficult to choose.  The thing that put part 1 movie slightly behind was  Dobby’s over dramatic death scene. It was already epic and sad but the slowmo and Dobby’s last words tore me up because he was one of my 3 favorite characters. (Harry Dobby, Neville)

Now last but not least, the second part of the book v.s. part 2 movie: The Dealthy Hallows Part 2
            I place my vote for the movie part 2. It had comedy, action, and over the top acting! The second part of the book made me feel like Rowling was trying a new writing style, which is fine to do- but she tried it too hard.  It reminded me of Tolkien because it was just tooooooo wordy!!!

So that is my book to movie rating hope you enjoyed----- BUT I'm not done.

          When the movie ended, the boring as heck credits were rolling up the screen when suddenly something awesome happened! Matthew Lewis a.k.a. Neville came out and let a few people ask questions after the press. Only five people got to ask questions and out of all of them he said he liked me and he took time to answer my question. After the questions,  we had to leave the theatre but I just  had to talk to him in person and shake his hand! Instead of walking towards the exit I dodged people and walked downstairs toward him. I had to talk to him.  We had a talk and he seemed impressed with me but I am positive I was more impressed with him. We took a picture and I taped the whole thing. Video and picture will be on the blog as soon as possible.

My Birthday

                           Hello! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while but I don’t have that much free time because of my play rehearsals  and  summer camps. Last week, Wednesday, July 6th, was my birthday. I did things before my birthday to celebrate it and after it. On the 4^{th of July I went with my aunt Jessica and her boyfriend Louis to see a movie. (take note that they are in their 20's and not some old geezers) the
 movie was (drum roll) Green Lantern.  They enjoyed the movie and yet again they are in their 20s so they were fun. :^)}

       ^{Green Lantern was a pretty good movie. It had good special  effects and a good plot. What more could you wish for when it comes to movie making ? On July 5th, my parents and I went to Six Flag's with my good friend Raphael, and his mom Jane, and his cousin.}

^{We had a fun time at Six Flag's. We rode the Raging Bull, Dare Devil Dive, (P.S. His cousin was too scared to get on
The Giant Drop), The Superman, The American Eagle, Revolution, and Vertical Velocity.}   


        We did some carnival games and won some prizes also. I won a giant pig with wings shooting a basketball ......gave it to my little sister. All of the rides were very fun but my top 3 were:  Raging Bull, Dare Devil Dive, and Vertical Velocity. Those are my favorites because they’re the fastest, highest, and the longest rides. (Except for Vertical Velocity it was 30 seconds.) At the highest point, in all the rides that I went on with Raphael, we said those funny movie one liners/phrases they say when someone dies. For instance, “I always wanted to go out with a big bang”, “Do you trust me with your life?” etc.

      On my actual birthday, July 6^th,  I went out for breakfast with my mom and my sister to a restaurant- Ms. Biscuit. Ironically, Ms. Biscuit has good biscuits. After the waitress found out it was my birthday I thought she was going to do something cool like in other restaurants. But she didn't. She did sing Happy Birthday in my ear which I could've done without. 

       After I was done I went to see Transformers with my father.   That movie was very good! It was better than the very good Green Lantern. I went to grandma's house and had a celebration. I also got the best pair of Converse All Stars. They  have swag. My aunt Jessica bought me those shoes with the help of Louis. They are probably the best Converse All Stars ever created. On July 8, I slept over Raphael's house. At Raphael's house, we played a game called "Don't Hit the Puppet".  Overall, to rate my birthday on a scale from 1 to 10 I would rate it 20,000!
