In my opinion, a song without a solid bass line is incomplete. Well-scratch that-solid isn’t the word I’m looking for. More like, relevant. Yes. A song with a relevant bass line is truly a good song, in that it truly utilizes the full potential of sound. Really, its what ties the song together—the floor on which the music stands, if you will. For example, the Beatles (and if you don’t like the Beatles . . . [Continue Reading]

We all know in relationships, there are ups, and there are downs. Fights, disagreements, arguments, … you name it, it’s all part of a relationship. If you think a relationship is all smiles and happy . . . [Continue Reading]
Sure, I might be a huge Apple geek, and I use my Macbook and iPhone on every day. But trust me on this one, I want Windows 7 to succeed. The reason? Innovation of Windows means Apple needs to ramp up their own innovation and create some new things. I downloaded Microsoft’s newest “Retail-Candidate” version of Windows 7, and gave it a try.

The first Our Youth Voice meeting Friday, September 11 in room C217. This year’s meetings will be incredible, and I look forward to seeing everyone there.

P.S. It was scheduled for the second Friday of school, but I had to postpone it. Sorry!
Many people say long distance relationships don’t always last, and this is true, for the most part. Personally, I think people should respect those people in long distance relationships, instead of mocking them for their “stupidity” and “ignorance”. I believe if two people love . . .

Quick! Let’s turn this American education system into a joke!
This week, Bryce Harper of Las Vegas, a well-known 16-year-old who is called the “Chosen One,” a.k.a. the next All-Star baseball player, has decided to skip the last two years of high school and instead get a GED, a choice made with his parents. This highly-publicized choice has automatically faced criticism . . . [Continue Reading]
Hi. Hello. My name is irrelevant. Some of you might know me from life. Greetings to you. Although it may seem as if I’m on some sort of narcotic, I’m not. Not. Not. Drugs are bad. Super bad. Anyway, the experience I wanted to share with you occurred while I was riding one of the results of the public education system. So there I was, sitting on the bus minding my own business . . .

I don’t know about any of you, but I often find myself thinking about the future and what it may look like. In a few short weeks, the school year will be over, and we’ll all be moving up . . . [Continue Reading]
Everyone I talk to is concerned over the new and improved Swine Flu. I say new and improved because it originally was only contagious to pigs, or swine. Just as a few years ago the Avian.. or bird flu… was only contagious well you can guess birds. So why is everyone so afraid . . .[Continue Reading]
It’s a common phrase used in the 21st century:
“Just Google it and you can find out.”
People want to know their answers right away. Maybe that’s fine if you can’t remember . . . [Continue Reading]
Smoked a joint lately? Eaten a special brownie? A recent MTF survey about teen marijuana use reports that 10.9% of eighth graders, 23.9% of tenth graders, and 32.4% of twelfth graders have used marijuana within the last year. An article recently published in The Arizona Republic suggested . . . [Continue Reading]
One month ago, a Youth Voice Club was started at Horizon High School. During the clubs, over 30 people (contributors and subscribers) discuss ideas for the website, article ideas, and talk to each other about recent editorials that have been posted on the site. The success of this club is astounding with the leadership of Scott Buscemi, and now it is looking to expand.
The goal is to have at least 8 Youth Voice clubs in high schools throughout the United States by the middle of next schoolyear. There are currently 3 more clubs being planned to start next schoolyear, but that’s just the beginning.

Being alive today means breathing and walking and eating and talking and thinking and ignoring and dealing and taking and wanting and shuffling and throwing and pulling and instigating and peeling and padding and holding and climbing and giving and everything and then some. Oxy-morons and paradoxes are the accepted and prevalent. . . . [Continue Reading]
The next time you walk into a Blockbuster (or… tee hee… Hollywood Video) and think to yourself, “Man, you know what I’m really in the mood for? Something completely original with a cult following as big as Rocky Horror Picture Show that has extremely catchy rock music that stars a great cast and is totally awesome?” (albiet not a very common thought), pick up REPO! The Genetic Opera.
Personally, I love music videos. The sights and colors that pick up on the slightest nuances of the song being played really accentuate the music. However, I can understand how people can prefer to not see the video. I think of it as slightly analogous to reading a really good book and then . . . [Continue Reading]
Pro-choice or pro-life: who’s at fault?
As a pro-choice and well-educated woman, I’m here to put a stop to this argument. The answer is: neither.
I respect the fact that people with pro-life beliefs hold on to their ideologies and morals; no one has the right to insult or demean that. What I don’t respect is . . . [Continue Reading]
Unlike most teenage girls these days, I am one hundred percent pro-life. Although many of my friends have tried to make me see the light, this is one of the few beliefs I will probably never ever compromise. However, I have noticed that many pro-choicers have preconceptions that don’t apply to me at all, or a lot of other pro-lifers for that matter. Although the following statements . . .

What is the difference between supper and dinner? How about Coke, pop, or soda? Why are so many words used for the same basic idea. By definition dinner is the main meal of the day, eaten in the evening or at midday. Where as Supper means . . . [Continue Reading]
We’ve all done it. You see someone you talk to from time to time, but have never ACTUALLY spoken words with. You look through all of their pictures, statuses, wall posts, etc. You become to KNOW them. Yet, once you actually see them in real, 3-D life, you pass by without so much as a glance or a word. Why is this? [Continue Reading]
