Music

MUSIC
Who doesn't like music? Everybody loves to listen to a good song every now and then. My favorite type of music is Reggaeton.
 Reggaeton is based from reggae which originated from Jamaica. Reggae developed in the 70's in Jamaica and has gone through numerous changes since then, having been combined with other sounds and rhythms. Panama was the first place where Reggae was performed (by Chicho Man) in Spanish, while the first Spanish rap (performed by Vico C) appeared in Puerto Rico. It all happened in 1985, and in the years to come this movement arrived in other Latin American countries as well as in the United States. One of the first places reggaetton was played was a disco named "The Noise". Some of the first Reggaeton singers were Don Chezina, Daddy Yankee,
Baby Rasta y Gringo,
    Guanabanas, Polaco and Maico y Manue. Reggaeton was growing very quick. It grew all over Latin countries like Venezuela, Mexico, Columbia and other places. Reggaeton even got to the US and all over Europe and the rest of the continents. Although reggeaton was quickly rising it had its downsides in the 90s. There was a lot of rivalry between reggaeton singers. After some time they finally came to an agreement and the Spanish rappers began collaborating with one another. Today reggaeton still grows and becomes more famous all over the world. This time reggaeton isn't only heard by young people but by various ages and ethnicity's.

Husky

Siberian Husky

The Siberian Husky originated from Russia. In Russia they were raised by Chuckchi people for thousands of years. The Chukchi people needed a fast economical transportation over the vast frozen land. Thanks to their unusual strength and agile medium sized body, the Husky was perfect for the job. The husky could cover long distances on little amount of food. Thanks to their gentle nature the Husky often served as a soft furry bed for the tribal children. The Siberian husky was first introduced to United States in Alaska in the year 1908. The Siberian huskies were used for sledding and won many Alaskan races.
 
In Nome (an Alaskan village) in January 1925 doctors realized that a potentially deadly diphtheria epidemic was poised to sweep through Nome's young people. In Anchorage there was a serum that could cure it but it was a thousand miles away. More then 20 mushers took part in the bringing of the serum to the city. Leonhard Seppala's team did the most dangerous part of the race. His team was lead by Togo. Together Togo And Sappala and the rest of the team got the serum to Nome.

Now for some fun facts about the Siberian Husky.  
The average size of a male husky is 21-23 and a half inches. The average size of a female husky is 20-22 inches. They have a double coat which keeps them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The huskies undercoat sheds twice a year around the time the seasons change. The huskies coat requires little maintenance, meaning minimal brushing and bathing are needed. Siberian Huskies come in many colors ranging from black to pure white and everything in between—including copper, red, agouti, and sable. The husky has a face that expresses a keen but friendly face. Their ears are well-furred, erect, and triangular in shape, with rounded tips. Their noses can also range in color from black, silver, or even a flesh-color. The noses of some Siberians can even have a pink-streaked "snow nose” that gets paler during the winter months. Their eyes are usually almond shaped and well spaced out. Their eyes can range in colors, not necessarily being the same color. One eye could be brown and the other blue, or both eyes could have brown and blue in them. The Siberian Husky is friendly and gentle. The Husky doesn't show the possessive characteristics to be a guard dog. The Siberian dog has many personalities, some being athletic, dietetic and wondrous. http://www.siberescue.com/Breed_Info/breed_info.html 
This dogs are very intelligent and are a handful. Before getting a Siberian Husky you must first know all about it and its personalities and how its mind works, otherwise you'll end up regretting it. http://www.siberescue.com/Breed_Info/BHistory.html

Monkeys

MONKEYS
Planet earth occupies 264 species of monkeys. Baboons are some of the largest monkeys in the world.
Mandrills also come in as the largest monkeys in the world. The smallest monkey is the pygmy marmoset.

Other monkeys include macaques, guenons, capuchins, and tamarins. Most monkeys, like the howler monkey live in trees . There are some that live in savannas and grasslands like the Vervet monkey.
 Most monkeys survive from a diet of fruit, leaves, nuts, berries, eggs, insects and they occasionally hunt other smaller animals. These primates are very interesting animals without a doubt. My favorite is the pygmy marmoset, which I hope to get one soon. hope you liked this little bit of information on monkeys. http://www.livescience.com/topics/monkey/

What is love?



What is love? Some say it is that butterfly feeling every time you see that special someone. Others say it is a feeling that can't be explained. That can't be understood until one has experienced it. What is love, is a question mankind has always asked itself. '' Love is patient, love is kind". "It has no envy, nor it boasts itself  and it is never proud".  Love protects; preserves and hopes for the positive aspect of life. Love bonds people and connects them in a unified link of trust, intimacy and interdependence. Love inhances the relationship and comforts the soul. Love is something that should be experienced not just felt. Now of course there are various forms of love. There is romantic love which is deep, intense and unending. Romantic love is shared in a very intimate and interpersonal and sexual relationship.There is platonic love, familial love, and there is religiouse love. They have to deal more with desire, preference and feelings. In psychology, love is portraid as a cognitive phenomenon with a social cause. Love has three components: Intimacy, Commitment, and Passion. Love includes compatibility. Love was made to last forever not to be a momentary thing. So love your friends, your family, and that special someone. www.love-sessions.com/whatislove.htm

Sports

There are a whole bunch of sports out there in the world. Some examples are soccer, football, basketball, baseball, softball, and volleyball. Well I'm going to talk about one of my favorites and how it got started.  I'm going to start out with Soccer.






Every Colture has a little bit of information to add on to how soccer was made. The first scientific evidence of soccer were found in china from a military excersise in the second and third centuries BC. The Han Dynasty version of football (soccer) was called Tsu' Chu.  The object of the game was to kick a leather ball filled with feathers and hair
through an opening that was only 30-40cm in width, into a small net fixed onto long bamboo canes. The player had to use his feet, chest, back, and shoulders while trying to withstand the attacks of his opponents to make the ball go through the opening. He could not use hands because it wasn't permitted.
  The Japanese also had their own form of this game, except it didn't involve the competition. It was called Kemari
. Players have to stand in a circle with little space and pass the ball to eachother not letting it hit the ground. The Romans were the ones who made it like it is today. There was to teams played in a rectangle with a line in the middle and they had to get the ball across the other teams boundaries. The Romans took that to England. In England rugby was made. Rugby is like soccer and football mixed in together. After the Rugby association seperated itslef from the Football associaion, thats when soccer was officially made.
