I watch a lots of different TV shows. One of my favorite TV show is called Prison Break. This show has a very unique story and lots of suspense to it. Prison Break has some funny parts but mostly serious. This show is about a brother being set up for the murder of Presidents brother. He is sentence to die. The younger brother designs the whole jail and tries to save his brother. Of course he pretended to robe a bank near the jail his brother is in. The younger Micheal was played by Wentworth Miller. He did an excellent job playing his part and I enjoy watching his performance. Every Monday I wait to watch his show to find out what will happen next. There are lots of other charates who do a nice job playing their character. I haven’t missed any series as of now. This show is playing for more than a year now. I like this show because of the story it’s realistic, this can happen to some people. This show shows how a simple guy can be trapped into doing something they would never dream of doing. How so many people die in order to get the right information out? Anybody who comes a little close to finding out who is into this they are either dead or running for their life. This show has not lots of bad parts to which other shows have. Prison Break has lots of violence part to it which can prevent the younger kids to not watch. I can watch this show for the whole day and not get bore.

Analysis Blog #2
Almost everyone listens to music whether we know it or not. We might have music in our car, home, I-pod, or on the way to school, or even playing in stores. The kinds of music we like listening to when we are bored, studying, or just to chill, reflects our mood at that time. Rascal Flatts writes mostly country music, but has a little of rock in it. He wrote the song, “Life is a Highway”, from the move Car, but the song I am analyzing is not as popular called “What Hurts The Most”.
In this song they talk from a girls point of view and how much it hurts to lose someone in your life so much and not being able to express what you wanted to when he was alive. Also, in the lyric say that the girl in the song can’t deal with seeing all their friends, living day by day but the thing that hurts and bothers her is not being able to say everything from her heart to him. After interpreting this song I understood that the girl feels very sad when the guy she loved passed away because she never had the chance to tell him how much she loved him. In the lyrics “What hurts the most” the chorus is the following:
‘What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you,
Is what I was trying to do.’
(Rascal Flatts)
These lyrics indicate that this girl had so much to say to the one she loves so dearly but now she can’t and it’s killing her inside. All she can do is think about the future, how it would have been, but now she can only wonder and can’t do anything. She is also saying how much it hurts seeing him walk away for the last time from her life forever and not being able to do anything because she didn’t know that he’d be lost.
Another line from the lyrics
‘Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken’
(Rascal Flatts)
From these lines we can say that she regret not saying, what she felt about this boy, and if she could get one more chance with him, she would express what she left unspoken in her heart to him.
This song is sad with lots of emotions going on, but still has a little rock to add to the country sadness sound. Rascal Flatts made certain words from his lyrics longer and louder, to show how much it really hurts, to get the anger and the pain out from heart to words. This song will be have an audience of whomever has lost someone, who they can relate to there personal life. In the song the girl had to pretty much deal with everything even though it hurts, but the thing that really hurts her is not saying what she felt about him in her heart. So the songs main point is that if you want to save pain in the future, don’t wait to tell the person you love how much you care, because you never know if you’ll get that chance tomorrow.

Listening to favorite radio station
I don’t really listen to any radio station. When I have free time I usually listen to my CD’s or I-pod. Since we have to listen to a radio station for an hour I picked 95.5 FM. I have some cousin’s who likes to listen to 95.5. I like all different kinds of music, country, hip-hop, or rock. At work I have to listen to one of the jazz station, which was good at first, but it’s extremely boring now. I don’t prefer to listen to any songs with cursing words. If the lyrics of the music are not well written, I think it’s not necessary for me to waste my time listening to music. I didn’t know what kinds of music to expect from 95.5. I was listening to what ever they were playing within that hour. I liked most of the song beside some. Thou it was very boring to listen to music when I was thinking about my biology exam to study for. I think the target audience for this station are the teens or people in there late twenties. Because right now most of the younger people prefer to listen to hip-hop lot more. But even thou majority of the younger generations like listening to hip hop, I think there are still a big portion of the grown up who enjoy listening to music that’s being played in 95.5. From listening to the ads in the station 95.5, the one thing that I heard most was they talk about the different parties that you can go to in the Detroit areas. So people who likes to party its a good way for them to find out where the parties are at.
