KEGIATAN SAAT 17 AGUSTUSAN September 10, 2008

Pada tanggal 2 Agustus 2008, aku dan teman laki-laki sekelasku mengikuti lomba sepak bola yang di adakan perkelas, Pada waktu itu tim kami melawan tim kelas XII IPA-1, Pertandingan itu cukup seru, Karena pertandingan sepak bola itu berakhir penalty, dan akhirnya tim kami menang dengan skor penalty 3-1. Kita semua senang dan kita lolos, di babak selanjutnya kami menghadapi tim dari kelas XI-IPA 4,,,disitu juga seru tapi sayangnya kita kalah dengan skor yang mrnyakitkan yaitu 5-1,,,,kami menerimanya dengan lapang dada.
Tetapi kami sudah sangat senang karena kami bisa mengikuti lomba dan ikut memeriahkan HUT RI ke 63. Tidak hanya di sekolah saja! Di tempat bermainku juga di adakan lomba lho!!! Yaitu lomba liga kartu remi, yang diadakan setiap malam sabtu dan malam minggu. Hadiahnya juga menarik sekali.
Juara 1Hadiahnya berupa pulsa sebesar 50 rb.
Juara 2 Hadiahnya berupa ¼ liter silicon/penggilap motor.
Juara 3 hanya dapat ucapan selamat doank.
Kebetulan aku juga yang jadi panitianya, dan aku juga mendapatkan juara ke 2. Dan akhirnya motorku sekarang jadi mengkilat. Karena udah tak kasih silicon yang ku dapat dari lomba liga kartu remi.
Dikampungku juga mengadakan lomba tetapi aku tidak ikut!. Aku hanya sebagai panitia saja. Karena aku lagi banya kerjaan yang belum ku selesaikan.
Dah dulu ya cerita dari ku tentang kegiatanku untuk memerihkan HUT RI ke 63. Klo mau kirim kritik dan saran boleh aja kok. Kirim aja di email gue ucupentong@yahoo.co.id
Dijamin ga di pungut biaya sepeserpun.!!!!!!!

AvenGend SEvenFold September 4, 2008

A7X:- M.Shadows – Vocals Synyster Gates – Lead Guitar Zacky Vengeance – Rhythm Guitar Johnny Christ – Bass The Rev – Drums It’s not always recognized in today’s “I want it all now” world, but patience is a virtue. And Huntington Beach, California rockers Avenged Sevenfold are being rewarded for remembering that golden rule. After releasing two highly successful albums on an indie label (Sounding The Seventh Trumpet and Waking The Fallen), the quintet is set to unleash its major label debut, City Of Evil, on Warner Bros. Records. City Of Evil, co-produced by Avenged Sevenfold, reunites the group with producer Mudrock (Waking The Fallen). “We’re at the point now where we’ve come into our own,” vocalist M. Shadows says of the ambitious City Of Evil, an 11-song collection that gives a middle finger to the idea of categorization, bridging the sonic guitar assault of Iron Maiden with the frenetic pace of Bad Religion and the musicianship of Dream Theater. “In Southern California you’re really brought up in the whole punk world. At the same time, we were growing up listening to Pantera, Megadeath, Metallica and Slayer records,” Shadows recalls. “So then you think, ‘I want to play in that kind of band, but I want to play in this kind of band.’ Then you pass that point and all of a sudden you’re just writing music and it comes out naturally. But that’s what happens cause of all the different influences we have. And we’re definitely not afraid to put anything in our songs if we think it calls for it.” Yes, Avenged Sevenfold can rock, as the band recently did at a sold-out show at Hollywood’s Music Box Theater, where they turned the intensity of the new tunes up from 11 to about a 20, but these are musicians as well. However, as the group evidenced during the orchestral interlude in “The Wicked End,” a perfect metal moment live complemented by a boys choir and 14-piece string section, Avenged Sevenfold, in the tradition of Zeppelin, Queen, and Guns ‘N’ Roses’ “November Rain,” meld their intensity with a musical daring their hard rock forefathers would be proud of. m/

BOB MARLEY September 3, 2008

Bob Marley was a hero figure, in the classic mythological sense. His departure from this planet came at a point when his vision of One World, One Love – inspired by his belief in Rastafari – was beginning to be heard and felt. The last Bob Marley and the Wailers tour in 1980 attracted the largest audiences at that time for any musical act in Europe. Bob’s story is that of an archetype, which is why it continues to have such a powerful and ever-growing resonance: it embodies political repression, metaphysical and artistic insights, gangland warfare and various periods of mystical wilderness. And his audience continues to widen: to westerners Bob’s apocalyptic truths prove inspirational and life-changing; in the Third World his impact goes much further. Not just among Jamaicans, but also the Hopi Indians of New Mexico and the Maoris of New Zealand, in Indonesia and India, and especially in those parts of West Africa from wihch slaves were plucked and taken to the New World, Bob is seen as a redeemer figure returning to lead this planet out of confusion. In the clear Jamaican sunlight you can pick out the component parts of which the myth of Bob Marley is comprised: the sadness, the love, the understanding, the Godgiven talent. Those are facts. And although it is sometimes said that there are no facts in Jamaica, there is one more thing of which we can be certain: Bob Marley never wrote a bad song. He left behind the most remarkable body of recorded work. “The reservoir of music he has left behind is like an encyclopedia,” says Judy Mowatt of the I-Threes. “When you need to refer to a certain situation or crisis, there will always be a Bob Marley song that will relate to it. Bob was a musical prophet.” The tiny Third World country of Jamaica has produced an artist who has transcended all categories, classes, and creeds through a combination of innate modesty and profound wisdom. Bob Marley, the Natural Mystic, may yet prove to be the most significant musical artist of the twentieth century. JOIN US AS HIS FANS…!!!
