It's not really normal.

Recently I published a quiz about me on the hugely popular Facebook where I put questions in about myself. One of the questions I put in was, "What am I afraid most afraid of?" and if you don't know me, you will find this stupid.
Change.

Change is something that I don't like only because when one thing changes then a lot of other things are affected by it and gets me out of routine of my day, sort of the things that you could think of about change affects me inside but worse. It's not really something that people are really afraid of, but I have also have discovered something else that I am afraid of that some other people might be afraid of (could be totally wrong though) and that is making a choice.

It's not something that I am good at from the smallest thing from 'what sweet should I get in a sweet shop', to much bigger things like a recent one on 'Where should I go to College' and that is the problem which made me think of the blog post. These things are something I come across most days or possibly everyday. It seems to be the worst thing to be afraid of but the thing which has to be most over come from all the things I can think that people are afraid of.

But the thing I want to get out of this post is to people who are afraid of anything, to get over it, take it head on and just live with it. What I have realized is that what you do could be the worst thing or the best thing ever.

The G.I.Joes Review

Yesterday I went to see the CGI G.I.Joe and all I can say is that I was stunned by what I was
watching. I have to admit that I went into the cinema going to see it not expecting it to be that good. Well what I can say is that I felt that way about the Transformer film. THINK ABOUT IT (if you are a fan of Transformers).

The first thing when I was watching it is that I thought 'OK now which one is G.I.Joe.' Thankfully I was relieved to know that G.I.Joe (or the Joe's) was a name of the group. My thoughts the film are that I think the CGI animation in the film was outstanding. But I do have to say I am defiantly a person who really like the Bangs and Booms of explosions of a film and this is defiantly one which has all that in it.

Also the film was really taking a risk by putting in comedy moments quite a few times in the film which I think with how serious they took it I would have been a risk.Although they defiantly pulled it off and also a feature which made the film, and I think I can speak for the other 10 people in the cinema that they also found it funny hearing them laugh.

What they done which was very good that a film with Lots and Lots of explosions in would have an engaging storyline, and here at this moment I am comparing it to Transformers 2 which I think even though I love the Transformers, G.I.Joe did come out on top just because of the gripping sections which make me come forward off my seat a lot. I think it comes out on top as I didn't think it would be that good and I was blown away more by the fact how good it was.

In conclusion, these writers know who to make things better than people expect both in transformers and defiantly in G.I.Joe, I seriously want there to be a sequel.

Coner rating:
G.I.Joe - 9/10, only because the ending of what they did could have been show instead of cut to, Boring. If you have seen it, you would know what I
mean.

And for your pleasure:
Transformers 2 - 8/10 as it was really good but was missing something vital to
make it the same or even better than the first Transformers
film.

Yes, really, No

One of the things I wish that life could be is a V+ Box or Sky+. That you can rewind and pause real life. Here's a question, have you ever had someone you know see something interesting while they are there with you like a funny looking Dog on the street and say did you see that and you answer yes and really you didn't

This happens to me all the time and it annoys me in so many ways; that I didn't see what happened, that the opportunity would most likely never come round again and that I cannot share that funny moment. Althrough when you picture what you didn't see in your head it could be funnier than if you see.

Thats also the same when someone again says that have you seen that film and then tell you funny part in it. When you picture it in your head it is really funny and when you do see the film you get really disapointed that you. My advice is don't let anyone tell you about a film you haven't seen or you are more likely to get disapointed that it's not like what you thought.

Generosity Overload.

Now some people can just get to over generous (I know two of them) but I think this is going too far. It all started with my brother having a Basketball match with his friend and in result at the end we gave him a lift home as he lives down the street.

It was his birthday and as a joke,
my mum said "Hey Shaun, have you got any cake there"
And some people don't know when people are joking and he said "Yeah, do you want some."
And someone would have to be crazy to turn down some cake.
My brother going down to get some cake come back with..........
I will just let you look for yourself














Now I don't know about you but this piece (not sure if I should call it that) is bigger than some birthday cakes we have when it's someones birthday in my family. Good me I only had a small piece of it, very nice.

Starview

On Wednesday I had a job interview at Starbucks Queen St (the one next to Sainburys). Being my first job interview I had no idea what to expect but what I did experienced was nothing of what I thought it would be. When I got the application form a few days ago I was told to be there at 5:00. I got the earily bus at 4:15 so I wouldn't be late and in result I was earily (as I thought) so went a did something else and the something else took 5 minuts so I thought I would just wait. Well wait is what I did.

If you have ever been in the Starbucks next to Sainsburys you would know that there are two floors. The stairs going to the upstairs, well there was a line from the top to the bottom of the stairs when I got there. Stupid me, the one thing which didn't occur to me when I got the application form was the sign which sad that it would be an OPEN job interview. Although I found that out I still wasn't happy when I had to wait for an hour to be seen when I got off the stairs. However at the same time I was amused to see the site of how many people must have gone into the Starbucks on that day and seen that there were jobs going and watching them fill out the application forms. HA HA, get prepared.

Supprisingly I wasn't really neverous and when I got called, it just went better. The interviewer was really impressed with my CV, and I was glad to hear that the job was not just for that one store but for all the Starbucks in Cardiff plus 2 more opening in St Daivds 2. But all in all It went really well. And when I finsihed, the line to be seen was quite far outside the door. Open job interview from 5:00 - 7:00, it sure seemed to be Starbucks first time in doing the open job interviews as they must have been ther as least 2 hours more with the amount of people who were there. Or could have stopped interviewing people at 7:00, I would really liked to know what they did. But sadly my chances of getting a job are a bit slim, but at the same time high as the interviewer was impressed. They said that they would let me know if I have or not got the job within 72 hours.

And now I have to play the waiting game for one more day now.

Search and Destroy

The amount of wild weird and strange things you find on the Internet are amazing. The other day my brother showed me how I could get my Gamer tag from the xBox 360 on the computer and search all my friends and everyone in the world.

The way things work are so amazing and there must be some real reason why someone would create this and the only reason I could come up with is that they are so competitive that they want to beat everyone in the world so that they are the best (most likely this isn't the answer, just something funny in my head)

So in result I have used my skills in HTML and added my Gamertag from the xBox 360 on the side bar so check it out.

P.S. I have come to the huge conclusion facing me for months but I have made my choice. (Read this carefully)
Statement: Connor Knapton Prefers the xBox 360 to the PS3, I still have love for the PS3 but just like the xBox better. What I am not saying is that the xBox 360 is better than the PS3, I am not sure on that.

What, no way.

It has been a really surprising week, well so far, after a total of 2 day. But at the same time good.

1) On Monday, I had a surprising phone call saying if I want to go out shopping (without any money) and to the park (the park turned into a house). After 45 minutes shopping, We headed back as it looked like it was going to raining. We got to my friend, Emyr's house at 2:30 and played on the PS3 and the next time we looked at the time, amazingly it was 6:30. A very good day to start the week. When we went, we then said that we would should meet up for Dinner tomorrow.

2) Then today we meet up at Ty Glas as planned at Llanishen. And what an amazing meal, 10oz Gammon Steak with Chips and two Eggs. Also there is no Dinner complete in a restaurant without having a Desert. A Chocolate Cheese Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream drizzled in Hot Chocolate source. And on the odd occasion another Desert (ish). My favourite place in Cardiff was right next door and I wasn't going away where without having a STARBUCKS. As I was nearly full from dinner, I choose a Tall Carmel LIGHT Frappuccino.

3) And to finish off the day having fun, My Sister in Law invited me and my brothers over to have a Wii night. Now the Nintendo Wii isn't the best console ever but it is better than sitting at home doing nothing. And when playing it you come up with so many things which you can tell people who have one why it's Crap.

As I am on my Summer Holidays it seems like the days are going like the speed of light. I rest until 12:00 and try and do something after that, unless other things come my way. Eating my food I thought that I have had a Crap week and have done absolutely nothing. Then about 5 minutes later I realized I have done stuff all week and that it is only Tuesday Stupid.

When you get out of your weekly routine, your head goes everywhere in the week. No church or youth club signals the end of the week and not going to church, well it really seems like I am having a 14 day week.

Sadly, I have nothing else to do this week, hopefully something else will surprise me. The only thing I have to look forward to is getting the 'Green Day' Album '21st Century Break up.' IT BEST COME.
