John Frusciante is Leaving the Red Hot Chili Peppers (again)

John Frusciante,guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, has officially left the funk group for the second time. Fruscainte says that he had left years ago when the band went on a long period break after the release of their album "Staduim Arcadium".

“There was no drama or anger involved, and the other guys were very understanding,” Frusciante writes. “They are supportive of my doing whatever makes me happy and that goes both ways."

What will he do now? He will continue his solo work and retire to his Hollywood home. However this is not the biggest question that Chili Pepper fans are asking. Who will replace him? A guitarist and a good friend of his Josh Klinghoffer, one who had toured with them also. Will he be able to fill the guitar legend's shoes. We'll find out when the new Chili Pepper album comes out this next year.

What makes a leader a true leader?

I would love to write about how a true leader is strong, hardworking, loving and would "take a bullet" for a citizen, however now all that is required is good speaking skills and money(a lot of it).

Why don't we great great presidents? "O this guy is gonna be great!", says my mom every 4 years. "He is gonna get us out of this mess". We don't get good presidents because all the citizens that would be true leaders don't have the ego that every person who says "I think I am good enough the president of the United States of America" has. All those that have the talent of great leadership unfortunately also have the talent of being humble.

If you wanna be president your going to have to sell your values and tell he people what they want to hear. If only we could have George Washington as president(but that is a different story).

Being Thankful...

There are many things to be thankful for...
1)A home- I am grateful for my house especially during this time of the year, because it is so cold outside.

2)Food(anytime I want it)- I am very glad that I don't wonder where my next meal is going to come from.

3)Safety- Needless to say that it's comforting to know that I wont get shot on my way to school.

I often wonder what it would be like without the things I have today. I wanna give it a try(just for a day of course).

Julius Caesar Book Review

Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare bored me with its overcomplicated and dramatic tale. It has a solid story and plot however Shakespeare uses to many literary devices and you soon lose what was great about the story.

One of the many characters in the play is Brutus, a wealthy, well respected senator, who forces the conspiracy to thrive. Brutus's story does not end well as his wife, Partia, swallows hot coals, he would also share the same fate. Another key character in the play is Mark Antony, one excellent with words and seems to sway other's opinions. He did not help murder Caesar, however he uses his skill with words to convince the Senate to do what he pleases. Playing a surprisingly small role is Julius Caesar, emperor of Rome at the time.

The plot and idea of the play is excellent however Shakespeare fails to captivate the reader. Definitely stay away from this book.
