Born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, New York, Turturro developed a dual passion for basketball and boxing; his earliest career ambition was to become a professional athlete.

And Tove Ebba Elsa Nilsson (born 29 October 1987), as a young girl, she started writing poetry and short stories, and later on she studied at Rytmus Musikgymnasiun, a music school. Better known by her stage name Tove Lo, she is a Swedish singer, songwriter and musician from Stockholm, Sweden. Tove Lo has also written songs for a number of artists; including Icona Pop, Girls Aloud, and Cher Lloyd among others.

In my opinion the meaning of the song's lyrics it's about two lovers crazy in love who feel the magical power about love. When they're together they're feeling like if they're the only two in world. Both think they're not ordinary humans. They think they're in an other planet, like some heroes who can fly around the sky. Together the ambiance is like a dream. They're out and in the street but with the feeling to be hiding "Got a secret side in plain sight". Alone in the world. With the feeling to be invincible. They've no limits like if they can push out all the rules.

Lyrics:

We could hide away in daylight
We go undercover wait out the sun
Got a secret side in plain sight
Where the streets are empty
That's where we run

Everyday people do everyday things 
But I can't be one of them
I know you hear me now
We are a different kind
We can do anything

We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be...

Anybody's got the power
They don't see it because they don't understand
Spin around and around for hours
You and me, we got the world in our hands

Everyday people do everyday things 
But I can't be one of them
I know you hear me now 
We are a different kind
We can do anything

We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be...

We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be...

All we're looking for is love and a little light
Love and a little light
We could be...
All we're looking for is love and a little light
Love and a little light

We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be...

The song itself explains what makes for a hero. It's not just powers or save somedy on fire or somedy afraid in front of a shark. Instead, what makes the difference it's what we are on our mind and heart. I think two people who are in love can be heroes for each other. With someone to support you in the daily routine the difficulties are easier to overcome.

GREEN DAY

 1) The cover of the album is composed of three different colors: black, white and red. Black on the background, Green Day is written in white letters at the top left, the name of the group taking a quarter of the cover. Below is inscribed in red the name of the album, "american idiot"...

3) Green Day, is a punk rock band formed in Oakland in 1987. It's in 1987, at the age of 15 years Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, two friends, formed the band called Sweet Children, with Armstrong on vocals and guitar and Dirnt on bass and backing vocals. In 1988, John Kiffmeyer joined the band as drummer and Manager. The Group decides then to leave the name of Sweet Children and adopt that of Green Day because they had smoke to much weed the day who called their band...


I don't like this song because I hate rock. Rock is dead... no famous radio station put rock  (I mean radio like NRJ, FUN, SKYROCK that young people listen to and not RTL2 which is listened by people who are 40 years old).  Moreover I hate their style their makeup (every time black eyes...) and their clothes...

I think It's crazy this was made in the 1960's and they showed a lot of stuff that we have now like that whole thing with talking to someone on the monitor and they're somewhere else. I think this video shows us a large number of the high technologies which wait for us. For example robots which cooks alone. Etc.... I think that soon we'll have internet in our brain...  I began to wonder what will happen when our relationship with information gets even more intimate. How will we handle information overload, distraction, multitasking, and loss of focus when the infosphere can be downloaded into our brains... But... I'm an optimist, and I think we can find ways to overcome any hurdles that accompany these technological advancements. The thing is that as we go further into the future, each potential complication will become closer to becoming a disaster.

The document is a cartoon. In this cartoon the scene takes place in an office or in a bedroom. We can see two co-workers. One of the two is sitting and the other one is standing next to him. The two men are dressed with the same tee-shirt , maybe it is the uniform of the company. They could be working on the computer, at a regular office. The sitting man announces that he found a group called" Internets Anonymous "and is smiling because he seems to be proud of it! It's for people who get so addicted with Internet that they created support group like Alcoholic Anonymous. maybe it's to prove that the Internet can be an addiction. 

This cartoon makes me  think about my use of the World Wide Web. For me it's become part of my life and is now indispensable to my dailyroutine.  

For me that isn't a problem because I would like to become a fashionblogger
