ONIRAMA.
The band I chose is Onirama. It is a Greek pop, rock, rock band from Thessaloniki. I chose these band because I like their music for many reasons. Some of these reasons are that I can understand what they are saying when they are singing, I understand the lyrics, and the meaning of their songs.
Onirama was founded in October 2000 from the idea of Thodoris Marantinis and Dionisis Prantzis after they met in military. Giorgos and Dimitris Kokonidis were also founding members, and a couple of months later Kostas Karakatsanis joined. The band originally started as a hobby, with the name "Mixing Up The Medicine" inspired by lyrics from a Bob Dylan song. The name was a reflected on the kind of music they played.
Their first live performance was at club Mesogios in Thessaloniki. Their concert and party-like live performances, quickly caught the attention of the fans and people around Thessaloniki, causing the band to take themselves more seriously.
In 2003 Christos Tresintsis joined Onirama and they began a series of appearances at clubs around Thessaloniki including Mylos, Shark, Rodon Club in Athens and several festivals. In the middle of 2003, the band renamed themselves Onirama as their band became more of a reality. The name comes from a Greek phrase "Onira Mas" meaning "Our Dreams".
In October 2004, Onirama began appearing at Malt & Jazz with their signature live performances. Around the same time, the band began writing their first album and searching for a record label.
In 2005 they signed with Lyra Records and released their first album Diskolos Kairos Gia Prinkipes (A tough time for princes) on 7 December 2005. The lead single "O Horos (Klise Ta Matia)" (The Dance, Close your eyes) became a radio hit and gained Onirama popularity, while the second single Mia Mera Tha 'Rtheis" (One day you will come) also became a radio hit.
In the summer of 2006, they made appearances all over Chalkidiki, while they appeared in Athens all winter long with Antonis Remos (a very famous Greek singer). In January 2006, Onirama decided to change things up, and participated in a musical performance directed by Rigos Kostantinos at Theater Dasous in Thessaloniki. In the performance, the members of the band each started making their own thing reflecting the audients.
In March 2006, Onirama was nominated for "Best pop band" at the 5th Arion Music Awards, while they also appeared with Ble, Adrianna Babali, Vasilis Papakonstandinou, and Michalis Hatzigiannis.
On February 21, 2007, Onirama cooperated with Antonis Remos for the 4th MAD Secret Concert. At the concert, they sang many English hits, and fans nicknamed the cooperation "OniRemos". In summer 2007, Onirama and Antonis Remos toured Greece together.
These is the story and the beginning of my favorite band Onirama.

"It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain, but, once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture -- a pale blue eye with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me my blood ran cold, and so by degrees, very gradually, I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye for ever."

What is a lighthouse?

A lighthouse is a small building that at night a big light terns on.
There is a man standing there and he directs the big ships that travel
At night to not come close to the lighthouse because maybe there are.
Some people there. He also helps then to not bump into each other.These is what a light house is.

What my seting would be?

My setting would be at a dark forest with dangerous wolves.
There would be dangerous trees and monsters that the only
Thing they want is blood. They only eat people, specially
When their blood tastes really good. They prefer young
People that there blood is still fresh. They have really big Zombies
That the only thing they want is to eat the people’s head.

How will blogging affect/change your writing? Why?
Blogging will be easier because it saves paper and for a person who knows how to work a computer well it is easier for him too. Now a days almost everyone is using a computer for their homework, especially at the universities. I think that the blogger account that Ms. Lapalme told us to create was a great idea. I think that it is much easier for me to do my homework and I believe that other classmates would agree. Blogging will affect our writing because in English class we do our homework by hand and we are used to it. I believe that if we continue with the blogger account and we do our homework there we will get used to it and it will start getting easier for us. Maybe now I think that doing our homework in hand writing is better because I am used to it but if we continue with blogger it would be better because it will help us also a lot at our university.
