My self

I would like to write this text to explain to you what I like to do and my personal qualities.I am Thomas (Tommy) and I was born in Mexico City, Mexico in 1994. I have been living in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for nine years. I also have lived in Colorado, United States for four years. I have four sisters who all are in their twenty's. I speak two in a half languages. They include Spanish, Enlgish, and Portugese. I am probably 5'8-5'9 in height.
For fun activites I go out and explore. Since I live on the beach, I take my sea cayac and explorer new beaches. My favorite subjects in school are Math and Science, although this year we are taking Life Science, which is really boring. I prefer Earth Science. I consider myself a good student. I am one of the top 15 golfers in Mexico. I have won a couple golf tournaments regionally and nationally. Obviously, since I live on the beach I surf. My surfboard is called fishboard and is 5'11 in length. I also play soccer, not as much as I used to, but I still play. I went to a soccer tournament in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, which was a great experience. I have traveled almost around the world. I have been to Europe, Pacific Islands (Bora Bora), South America, and North America. I am a type B, which means that I am chill and relaxed out. I never get nervous about things except when it gets down to business and I try keep my mind very calm. I like action, comedy, and inspirational movies with Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Dave Chappell, Brad Pitt, Adam Sandler, and Will Farrel. I like Hip-Hop/Rap music, along with some techno and rock. One of my favorite singers are John Mayer, Eminem, Young Jeezy, T.I., DJ Tiesto, DJ Khaled, and Lynard Skynard. I like watching ESPN, MTV, Comedy Central and many others.
This is only a little of myself. I don't like all of the attention and thats why some people like me. Who ever is reading this, I am sure they will find friendship with me. Well.....whatever.

People Effects on their songs

I have not done mine yet! ??
I realized that almost everybody had this random noise right in the middle of their song. Hope's song had like a burp. Everybody's song had many effects mixed in their songs. Only a few had a constant beat. Most of the people did put a lot of effort, although I saw some that were not complete. I did not hear in any song a underlayer beat. All of the effects were really random. I heard lots of of tone effects, that didn't really connect well with the beat of the song. I thought that all of the songs had to be 90 seconds long. Some of them were way shorter than 90 seconds. There were also some that were way longer than 90 seconds. All in all I thought they were not bad at all.

Mash ups

We have been working on song remixes. Today we got into groups and listen to each others remixes. I thought Adriana's had the best beat and all of the songs seemed to join together perfectly. Eduardo's was also good, but it was not very long. Laura's was to long and the songs did not mix very well together. We never watch Rodrigo's mix, but I am sure it was very well mixed since we loves music so much. Most people did not put many effects. This was probably because we have not been taught how to do this. I think everybody did a good job, considering it was the first time.

I did my remix on Garage Band. This was extremely confusing, since Mac has bot mastered this program yet. I used 3 songs to mix. They were called Si Senor, Hero, and I am so hood. They seemed to fit pretty well, although I should have used a tool to combine them better. As I said earlier, the Garage Band is hard to use. I think my remix was pretty sweet for the first time I made a remix. Maybe in the future I will spend some more time on this program and make the best remix in the world.
