Halloween!!!!

 Costumes , Candy, Parties, Pumpkins ,scary movies,haunted houses ,TRICK-or-TREATING,Halloween usually comes to mind when people think of these things.                                                                                                                                                   Halloween is an extremely popular holiday. Some people think that it might be the 2nd most popular holiday after Christmas. People cannot wait for Halloween every year. Kids,teenagers,and even adults love and celebrate Halloween,but some people are completely against it. Instead of thinking that it is a fun day to dress up as your favorite Disney princess or your favorite superhero and eat candy,some people think that Halloween is evil and that it should not be celebrated at all. Some people celebrate Halloween for the wrong reasons ,like when people wear certain costumes that they should Not wear ,like a devil costume. Yes,Halloween can be a very frightening holiday,but it can also be a normal fun holiday when you eat as much candy as you can.Then comes the problem with Halloween candy. Some candy  is sometimes opened or has had glass in it and other things that should not be eaten.   There are certain things that you should and should not do on Halloween night.

1.Always have a responsible adult with children that are trick-or-treating.Never let little kids trick-or-trick alone even if they are in a group.It is still dangerous.

2.Always carry around some type of light ,like a flashlight,a glowstick ,or something with lights on it.

3.If you are walking with any kind of group,like with friends or family ,never walk away from the group.Stay with the people that you know so you won't get lost on Halloween night.

4.Never eat candy that looks like it's been opened,because it could make you sick.

5.Make sure that you trick-or-trick in good neighborhoods or in neighborhoods where you know people so you can trust them more.

6.If you don't trick-or-treat in well-known neighborhoods,try to find out what kind of neighborhoods they are before you even think about accepting candy from strange people.

7.If a random person drives up next to you in a car and offers you candy on Halloween night or any night ,do NOT accept it if you do NOT know the person.

Overall,it's October,so let's just have fun , get a little bit scared , eat candy that won't make you sick, and stay safe.                         HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!

GUITAR!!!!

         Many people all over the world own guitars and know how to play them. (Let it be known that this is being written by someone who does not own a guitar and kind of ,but does not know how to "professionally" play a guitar.) I used to have a little guitar when I was like 5 years old, but I have no idea what happened to that little guitar. Technically,I actually CAN play the guitar. I mean , if there was a guitar somewhere,I might try to play it and it might even sound professional. Like one time ,one of my friends left their guitar in the same place that I was at. At first ,I was scared that they would come back , see me with the guitar ,and get mad at me , but they never arrived back in time to actually know if anyone had touched their guitar.       

The definition of  "guitar" is a musical instrument usually with 6 strings plucked with the fingers or a plectrum.
There is not necessarily one universal guitar.Because when people think about guitars,different types of guitars come to mind. Acoustic, electric, electro-acoustic, twelve-string, arch top, steel guitar,resonator, double-neck, bass , mandolin, banjo,and el cuatro-these are several of the many types of guitars that are in the world.

    

     FUN FACTS ABOUT GUITARS:

    8.  This is the greatest accumulation of guitarists in the history of humanity! More and more guys in their 50's and 60's are spending time reintroducing themselves to the joys of playing the guitar. Many  retiries have spent alot of cash on great instruments.

 This is a BEAUTIFUL golden-colored guitar!           This is an AWESOME glow-in-the-dark mandolin!!

 

 

As you can see , guitars are extremely popular. If they were not, then nobody would bother to spend so much money on them. I am definitely a fan of the guitar and I really wish I could own one(like that glow-in- the-dark one) to learn how to play it. Until then , I will just have to play the air guitar like everyone else that cannot afford a guitar. They jam out to an invisible guitar when they hear one of their favorite songs,lol.
