Talking about Sex

So when a freshmen takes his first step onto a college campus, he notices a lot of new and exciting things. If he lives on campus he gets to experience the joys of having a roommate, making his own decisions, and so much more. However one of the choices a freshmen gets to make when he enters college is whether or not he chooses to partake in the act of sexual intercourse. Many first year college students often feel the pressures of sex. Whether to engage in the act, to jump in to it quickly with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or to really use the internet to look up someone before you consider engaging in the act with them, sex is a major pressure on the average freshman.

Many freshmen often feel pressured right away in college to find a girl or boy to have sex with. The modern view is that you don't want to be a virgin in college. Why many people son't understand, but that holds true to most college freshmen. They feel as if the only way to grow up or really express independence is to do exactly what most parents told their children to stay away from which is sex. Whether a student decides to have sex is totally up to them, but the main thing is to make sure that both of the students are ready and protected when they are about to engage in sex.

Some people also believe that they need to jump into a relationship just for sex. They feel like they need to have a girlfriend or boyfriend so that they can justify the use of sex. Students say that they feel so "strongly" or "love" someone so much that they can't express their love any other way then through sex.

Facebook and Google are also often used just so people can see whether a person is "hot" or "DTF" (down for sex). They look up people they are interested in and almost become a kind of cyber stalker. The internet can be used to talk to these people and establish a relationship with them but most times it is used to just check out the next prospective or hopeful sex escapade.

So my honest advice to those who will be attending college anytime soon is to make sure that you and your partner are both ready for sex. If you and the person you are with both give consent and are protected, then sex can be a very enjoyable experience. There is nothing wrong with sex and one should not feel ashamed for having it, but everyone needs to make sure that the people they have sex with are ok with everything and that they can cope with whatever happens next.

Music List #2

My next favorite songs that I am adding to my music lists installment are all about sex and drugs. These are my favorite 5 songs that are about sex and drugs. Most of them are humorous songs, which is my favorite kind of "dirty" songs. So without further ado, lets begin:

1. Business Time - The Flight of the Conchords: So this song is probably my favorite song that mentions any form of sex. Its about a man who is married and his wife, well having sex. But the man thinks that everything his wife is doing is part of the foreplay and lets just say its one of the funniest songs I have ever heard in my life. I would recommend everyone listen to this song.

2. Paper Planes - M.I.A.:This song is not completely about drugs, but I really like the song and there is a definite drug reference in the song. Its got a catchy beat and is another one of my favorite drug related songs.

3. The Joker - Steve Miller Band: Again this song is not about drugs, but there are drug references in it. If you haven't heard this song, you need to listen to it. I mean who doesn't like Steve Miller Band.

4. Barely Legal - The Strokes: This song is clearly about sex. Its about a guy who really wants to have sex. I mean there is a line in the song that says "I wanna steal your innocence." thats just straight up sex. Its a good song, maybe a little to raunchy for some but I like the song.

5. If You Want Me To - The Flight of the Conchords: This song is another hilarious song by the Flight of the Conchords about sex. Its a man singing to a girl he likes about all the stuff he would do for her, and of course they are all sexual acts. Its another hilarious song by them, that I think everyone should hear.

So overall my favorite dong that is all about sex of drugs would have to be Business Time by The Flight of the Conchords. I think its an incredibly creative song that is raunchy and humorous at the same time. I really think that anyone listening to that song would think that they were being treated, when they are graced with that delightful tune.

My Results On Google

So when I googled myself online and noticed that I was almost nowhere to be found. I looked through a few pages and noticed that all the results were about other people's myspace and facebooks named Nick Esposito. My facebook and myspace of course were nowhere to be found making me feel like there are a lot of famous Nick Esposito's out there.

This is a little unsettling to me because I sort of want my name to get out there. You see I am a film and television major, and my main goal is to get onto the movie seen. Having my name high on the Google list of names would be a great career move for me and would help get my name out to major movie directors and producers. Hopefully I will get my name higher up on Google Search and hopefully it will involve some aspect of film or video.

I just got to be careful that whatever goes up that it can't ruin my career in film.

I did eventually find myself on like the third page of Google. Whats funny is that the thing that came up was, well my blog for this class. So I am making progress, especially with this class and college as a whole. I hope my experiences here bring my rank on Google up fast. Then I can be happy when my name can be a common household name for film.

My Music Influences As A Kid!!

So the music that made me into the awesome guy I am now has changed through the years. I've gone through TV theme songs to Classic Rock to music thats considered "Indy" rock. Needless to say, I loved all that music and it all has in some way contributed to making me who I am.

In my early life the main music I listened to was, well theme song music for all my favorite television shows. I would love to get the CDs for all the shows like The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Scooby Doo, and I absolutely loved Sesame Street. I would listen to them every day and know all the words to all the theme songs. I didn't have any interest in music that wasn't from a TV program. The main theme song that really made me happy as a kid was the Pokemon theme song. I remember just being excited to watch the show for the theme song. I just loved my theme song music in elementary school.

In Junior High School, I started to listen to different music. I started listening to Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. My Dad was a huge influence on my music interest at this point in my life. What ever he said I would like, I usually would like. At this point in my life everything was about classic rock and being a kid who was completely opposed to rap. That was my Dad's goal, it was to keep me out of the "rap" scene he would rather me be a rocker instead of a hip-hopper. He even bought me a guitar and guitar lessons to keep me away from all the stuff he didn't like.

Around the end of High School and present day college, my music tastes have sort of all combined with everything. I can honestly say I like a little bit of everything. I still love my classic Led Zeppelin and all the other classic rock music my Dad introduced me to, but I also like a whole bunch of other genres. I like rock, techno, electronica, indy, alternative, jazz, reggae, hip-hop, country, metal, and yes I still love my old television theme songs. Picking favorite artists is really hard for me because of all the different things I like vary so much.

I have gone from a very specific, one type music genre interest, to a very broad spectrum of musical genres. I love every piece of music that has been a part of my history, and I continue to look forward to hearing new artists that I can add to my collection.

The Best Study Habits Ever.

So I was thinking about this earlier and was wondering, what are my best study habits? This had nothing to do with the fact that this was actually an assigned assignment of course. But I digress, I was thinking what do I do that helps me study and prepare for in class assignments, and tests. So I just listed a few things that I do that helps me out with these things:

1. I really really need to have seen whatever it is I'm learning, done at least three times. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to do things without seeing them done before hand and failing a test because of it. I just need the topic I am learning spelled out perfectly for me, or I will fail.

2. Sometimes, I play music to help me get into rhythm with what I am doing. If you play the right song to the right type of work, it will really get you in the right mode to finish all your work. It will make you want to get your work done. Just don't play death metal and you will be alright.

3. Another thing I like to do to study information is to picture everything I am learning in my head. For example if I am learning about a concept in math, like the greater than or less than symbols, I will think about an alligator eating something bigger or smaller than itself. Don't judge me.

So those are some of the main things I do to study for all my stuff that I have to do. Its not perfect, but it seems to work for me and I seem to get a lot of things done this way.

My Top Favorite Songs

As you are all aware our current assignment is to post our 10 favorite songs on our blogs, so like everyone reading I will be posting my 10 favorite songs right here on my blog. A little side note before I start is that these are just 10 favorite songs of mine, not ALL my favorite songs. There are many more songs I wish I could've posted, but alas only 10 can be chosen and these are the 10 I chose....oh well. Lets begin:

1. The White Stripes - Blue Orchid:

Lets just say this is what modern classic rock sounds like to me. This song represents the change of rock from the 1950's to 70's and 2000's and is a kick ass song.

2. mewithoutYou - Nice and Blue pt. 2:

This band is probably my favorite modern band. This style of music is a progressive rock with spoken lyrics. The lyrics are what really make the song unique. Its a very poetic sound and has a very emotional sound to it. Few bands put spoken lyrics into practice.

3. Thrice - Daedulas:

This song is from a four part compilation of CDs, all of which are sung from all the different view points of the different elements: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. This song happens to be on the album called Air and is a very emotional song about a father losing a son. The voice of the singer is strong and the melodious music really draws you into it.

4. Daft Punk - Aerodynamic:

No top ten music list would be complete without that little bit of techno or electronica that everybody likes. Mine happens to be from a group known as Daft Punk. This song is one of the coolest sounding songs out there. Daft Punk uses synths tied in with their guitars to make one of the coolest sounding solos i have heard in a while, taking that Peter Frampton effect to the next level...

5. Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son:

This song is one of the few songs that I would like to say that I found on my own. Though my father introduced me to classic rock, It was me who one day going through old CDs stumbled upon the Greatest Hits of Kansas. Ever since I have been hooked and I would like to think that I try to live my life to that phrase: "Carry On My Wayward Son!!!!"

6. Heart - Crazy On You:

Ah Heart. This was one of the first songs I heard that had a lead female vocalist. It really set the tone for women in bands and really shows that not all women have to sing all lovey-dovey, soft and cute. They can be in a rock band and have damn good songs. Not to mention this song just sounds amazing.

7. Journey - Wheel In the Sky:

Quite frankly this song is just the best song ever to sing to while driving.

8. The Who - Pinball Wizard:

This song happens to be a part of the best rock opera of all time. The story is amazing and this is the rock opera that got me into sweet rock operas.

9. Rush - The Trees:

Rush was one of the first bands my dad introduced me to when I was young, so naturally it would be on my top ten list. Rush was the band that really showed me how amazing a good story tied into a song becomes an awesome experience. The story about the trees having a revolution is extremely clever and really cool.

10. Led Zeppelin - Kashmir:

Last but certainly not least, the first band I was introduced to when I was young... Led Zeppelin!! This was the first song that I ever heard (or at least remember ever hearing) and it shaped the music I like and listen to today! Also this song sounds like awesome walking tought theme music. Just try it, I guarantee you will like it.
