Today was the White House Correspondents dinner. This event is when a bunch of celebrity's and politicians come together to honor journalists. But really all that happens is Obama mainly makes jokes about everyone. It is held at the Hilton hotel and is brodcatseted mainly everywhere. This will be Obamas last Corresponddents dinner which makes this a big deal. "Eight years ago I said it was time to change the tone of politics, in hindsight I really should have been more specific." Obama says this because no one really takes him seriously or they just don't like his ideas. Many celebrities show up to this event and they all sit together at tables and watch this event together. At the end of Obamas speech he said "I would like to close with these two words: Obama out, and he litterally dropped the mic! This is the end of today's blog I hope you enjoyed it!!!

In todays blog I am going to be talking about the Armenian Genocide, even though I am not Armenian I just thought I should talk about it. The Armenian Genocide began on April 24 1915 in the Ottoman Empire. The Turkish government set out to expel and massacre the two million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire. On that day the Turkish government also arrested and executed many of the Armenians. After that happened most of the ordinary Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire were kicked out of their homes. They were forced to march through the Mesopotamian desert without any food or water. Most of the people who were marching were stripped naked and were forced to walk under the burning hot sun and most of the dropped dead because it was so hot. Most people who stopped to rest were shot dead. A group called Young Turks "overthrew Sultan Abdul Hamid and established a more modern constitutional government. At first, the Armenians were hopeful that they would have an equal place in this new state, but they soon learned that what the nationalistic Young Turks wanted most of all was to “Turkify” the empire. According to this way of thinking, non-Turks–and especially Christian non-Turks–were a grave threat to the new state." The Young Turks would drown the Armenians in the rivers, crucify them or even bury them alive. They often times kidnapped the children converted them to Islam and gave them to Turkish families. In other places they would rape the women and force them to become slaves. Some Muslim families then moved into the houses of the Armenians who used to live there. Finally in 1922 after nine years the genocide was finally over. There was now only 380,000 Armenians left in the Ottoman Empire after the Genocide. Since Turkey is one of Americas allies they never recognized the Genocide. But finally in March of 2010 congress voted to recognize the Genocide. That's it for todays blog I hope you guys enjoyed it!!!

Hey guys I decided that this week I am going to be talking about Playlist live. Playlist live is a convention held in Orlando, Florida every year. It is a convention a bunch of youtubers just come together and do fun things for their fans. It is a two day event held at the Orlando world center Marriott. Throughout the weekend there is a lot of fun things to do you can attend panels or you can also meet your favorite youtubers at the meet and greets. Even though you might not be attending Playlist live the youtubers still give you the same experience in the vlogs that they upload to youtube throughout the weekend. Some of the youtubers that I watch such as the Shaytards, Pointless Blog, Sprinkleofglitter, Marcus Butler, SaconneJolys, Ricky Dillion, Alexa Loskey and a bunch more all attend the convention almost every year. The vlogs that these youtubers post aren't only about playlist live but they are also videos of them going to Disney world and Universal Orlando. This is what makes the videos even more interesting is seeing them do all these very fun things!! This is the end of this blog I hope you enjoyed it!!!
