Music and Me

 Hello music fans. 

My name is Cameron and I am a junior at Converse. I am on the men's tennis team.  I am majoring in business and German Studies.  I am excited for this class because I love to talk about music.I grew up in Mount Pleasant, SC before coming to Converse.  My family is originally from Rhode Island, but I moved away from there at five so I do not remember living there.  My immediate family consists of myself, my mom, my dad, and my older brother. We have a bunch of pets. 


This is a picture of me and my brother Mitch.  


I have many music genres that I like, but my favorite is rap music.  I would love to share some of that with you.  I know this genre tends to have a lot of explicit language, but I will share the clean versions. I also have been enjoying Spanish music lately, so I am sharing this too.

The first song is my go to song, the one I would put on Spotify just because I like it.  Bad Bunny song.  I like this song because it has a great beat and nice instrumentals 

The second song I played that has meaning is Rihanna and Eminem's song " Love the Way you Lie". https://youtu.be/r4l-ZKNyl28?si=g6QMXL1Dg8X6FE-u.  This is the clean version.

I don't really connect with punk rock .  For whatever reason. https://youtu.be/0TX5ij8uQeo?si=zr7_yWqcfgU3M7uy. 

I know many people who love punk rock, it is just not what I like. 

Now I will share the  first song I ever heard by  Youngboy, " Never Broke Again." just because it is the one that launched him to fame. https://youtu.be/VPAszkX9Py4?si=rCn8NGqflKaoP8iA

    Hi Cameron, "Love the Way you Lie" is one of my favorite early 2000's songs. It has a great beat and its very catchy. I am glad I was able to recognize a song that doesn't get played often.

    Hey Cam, one of my favorite artists is also Bad Bunny. I enjoy listening to 2010 throwbacks along with rap music as well.

Ah, it’s the day after Christmas—a time when homes once bustling with festive holiday cheer begin to return to a sense of normalcy. The floor is littered with wrapping paper, discarded boxes, and tinsel. December 26 may be dedicated to tasks like returning unwanted gifts, tidying up the remnants of celebration, catching a football game, or assembling toys Santa forgot to put together in his workshop, unless you find yourself in the Bahamas, where December 26 is not just about the boring post-holiday routine.
