What Is Cool?

In my opinion there's no such thing as a definition for "cool." "Cool" is just a word used by people to describe the things that they like. Usually the majority of people will like the same things, hence making it "cool." When people are called cool, it's because they're "in." Which means that they either have the latest trends or are really good at a certain thing. What I think is cool, are things that attract my attention, not what most people like.

Monday Morning

Well it's Monday morning and I'm in my Interactive Journalism class. This past weekend was alright. Nothing too exciting happened. It's been raining since Thursday night because of Hurricane Kyle. I did discover some awesome bands though. One underground band that I discovered was The Dangerous Summer. It's up-beat, but with a little of alternative sound to it. One local Bostonian band that I discovered was Hollywood Lies. There was also another band called Beneath The Sheets. They kind of the same style as The Dangerous Summer, and all the other bands I listen to. I'll blog more about these bands later, but for now I'll post their Myspace so you can check them out.

Welcome

Hi, my name’s Camila and I created this blog because I take Interactive Journalism in my high school. My teacher thought it would be a good idea for us [the students] to have blogs so we can interact and know what it’s like to have a blog. The name of my blog is called “oh how cliche” because I can be very cliche, and because it’s a name of a really good song by a band called ‘The Audition.’ Which brings me to what this blog is going to be about. I know a lot of underground and local Bostonian bands, and I thought that this would be a good way to promote them and get more people to know who they are.
