First Time for Doing This

My previous post I did through E-mail. If you don't know, blogger has given you the option of writing a blog post now through E-mail and SMS Messaging. Yes I do know the option to do this has been going to a while but my reason for using it is that in my college St David's Catholic College, the stupid restrictions have been set to many sites like Facebook (totally unfair as I know that some other colleges can go on it), and blogger. Quite typical that it would do it, the main sites I normally use I can't access in my frees. Although you can really surprising you an access Youtube.

So my mentor, Jongudmund suggested writing a blog post through an E-mail and I do have to say that it has worked quite well. But as normal there are always restrictions, I might just not know how to do them. I wasn't able to place tags on there and t's just not as advanced as the blogger editing post. But if you do want to do it, the one thing I do know that you have to put the title of the blog post in the subject bar on on your E-mail.

I guess I do have the option of writing a blog post by text, but considering how log my blog posts do tend, I do love blogging but spending about £2 writing a blog post is a bit extreme and also how long it would have to take to send. I guess I could do it in very REAR times when I not near a computer or camping or something. Going to have to do that some time then.

You really learn something when you listern.

I have discovered something recently. Myself, I really love my music and all different kinds at that, Hip Hop, Rap, Pop Rock (not many people can define this), Rock (which ever rock bands you are think of, nowadays they would be put into Pop Rock) and Indie (only a little different to Pop Rock).

Well I have come across the thing about songs that I have only been listerning to the best and not to the lyrics. I found this out after read an article on my mentors blog, Freelance Theology read and article about Robbie Williams new Song. I liked this song, not loved but liked and when I read this I listened to the lyrics and the things he said I really didn't agree with which has made me not like the song.

Another I have recently listened to is All American Rejects Move along. Again my mentor as we are into the All American Rejects told me to have a look at the videos for Move Along. Watching that Video I also listened to the lyrics and I now know what the song is and has really given me an insight to it and like it even more than I did.

When listening to a song, the lyrics can be really beneficial as it could change your opinion of the song, making it better or even coming to reality that you shouldn't like the song because you don't agree with it.

High at the Waterfront

On Saturday I went to my first Festival in Cardiff this year and the Festival was the WOW on the Waterfront. This is the third year in a row I have seen the event in the Bay and they have been spectacular. This year's event was Very Very strange. Each year they have a different theatre company performing and this time it was the chance for the French Theatre Company Transe Express provided this years WOW on the Waterfront.

The whole concept of it was something to do with French Clowns running around and seeing which one had a bigger bell and ringing it in a cage (couldn't really understand it as most of it was in French). We were told that it was a bit like Glastonbury. In the end they all ended up pulled up up a crane on a huge wire frame. The show again was very weird and on the day I really wasn't feeling it and I thought that it was a bit just a show to make your feet hurt standing up for two hours and almost give you a beyond doubt a big neck ache looking up for an hour of it watching the spin around, go up and down playing music on a grand steal frame.

But thinking back to it, it was really great and what they did was good as well and creative. Although, one of my blogging buddies Jongudmund posted a blog post titled 'Bucketloads to do' saying how everything these days and events like this cost and I have to say I went there with mission to not spend any money but as always I spent money, nearly spent £3.20 on a Starbucks but when I got there it was just closing. So I spent £1.50 on a 'Sprite'. it's not much but in the end it all adds up (especially when you have no money to spend)
The other Spectacular thing was also the firework display was really good.

Small Things can be so Interesting.

Over the past through days I have been wearing my bag with badges on the strap (I have two bags), and what I found out is that I am not the only person who likes small collection of things. Most people I saw either had to look at them and then ask questions or either had to touch them and strangely enough, the shop keeper down by my school had to touch them. 

I guess having a collection of things like badges tells a lot about someone and also their personality from what types of badges or something. If they are Funny, Active or if people are jealous they would think they are SAD but NO. 

Above is a picture of one of my badges which Jongudmund gave me. Also check out the Life is Mootiful website full of witty banter of Cows.

The Things Which Annoy us Most?

TV always feeds you loads of mostly useless information, but the information that will impress your friends and at the same time make you look like a idiot. "Next up it's the Top 2o Best Ever ITV Ads." 

Not sure if it was me or the TV screamed out BLOG. Note pad and pen at the ready with V+ box to rewind if I miss anything. For your pleasure (I'm sure) here are the top 20 Best Ever ITV Ads. [Warning] Younger readers might not know many or even any, there is always YouTube. All he a have links so that you can view them. 

20) The Golden Blend Couple - 1987-1993

Described by Celebrities as a 'Mini Soap Opera' and was compared to Dallas (i.e. Sexual tension). In other words an advert which tries to avoid promoting the product and ANOTHER sex sells ad. 

19) Milky Bar Kid - 1961-1997

There was 13 different Milky Bar Kids and all went for the part for the years supply of chocolate, in the end the one Milky Bar kid did so many takes that when he bit off the chocolate, at the end spat it in a bucket. But here is something you most properly never thought of, white albino kids eating white chocolate featured in a western town. Some people need to proof read their ads just as I need to proof read my blog posts.

18) Shake and Vac - 1979

After the one day of shooting the ad and seeing it on TV for just a year, 30 years gone she still remembers the song. In result of doing the advert another household name was born. Sure, anyone who could dance like she did and clean shouldn't be a household name but be a lesson to not become a house wife and do something.

17) Walkers Crisps - 1995-Present

Well, if it was me doing the ads then I would have got tried of eating Walkers Crisps years back. Surprisingly the concept of the ad was 'No more Mr nice guy.' Was it me or again did anyone else miss that concept. 

16) PG Tips Chimps - 1956-2001

This classic and amazing ads was ITV's longest running ad chimpaign (Campaign, funny) inspired by the London Zoo's Chimp tea Party, that's one weird thought. Over 100 monkeys appeared in the ads, this means either some of them got fired for not behaving, they retired or they died. I know which one I am picking. 

15) British Airways - 1989

This advert featured a load of people coming together and forming a image. Each person must of got a big chunk of money for the ad to cost a million pounds. I can name a million ways I can spend a million pounds. Just a waste of money.

14) Nike Parklife - 1997

This is your typical Nike advert where casually people are playing football and professional football players appear to come onto the pitch and start playing football. Then they had an interview with some of the players years after and they said that they knew nothing about it. If that is true then all the other Nike adverts with professional players appearing are all fake. 

13) Howard form the Halifax ads - 2000-Present

It was shocking to find out that they used a real employee to play the part and in conclusion to the ads, he released his own single (first time I have heard about that) which reached the top 20s and yet is still working in Halifax (must not be getting much for the single and the ads if he is still working there).

12) I bet he drinks Carling black label - 1985-1994

All the advert is that they people do things which makes people think that they drink Carling. Simple and yet funny and effective.

11) The milk Tray Man - 1968-2000

'This was a fantasy figure like a James Bond in an advert' 6 different men played the fantasy man (sex seriously does sell) One the last ad they showed the face and voice of the woman in 2000. And now all is left of the ad is fancy dress at a Christmas party Jongudmund. 

Top 10

10) Coca Coal like to tech the world to sing - 1971

The first person shown was never with everyone else as all the other people were filmed in Rome. FAQ WHY.

9) Hamlet Cigar happiness is... - 1964-1991

Happiness is when you have a Cigar, Can't really comment but when it comes down to it, I don't need to as it was BANDED.

8) Real Fire - 1988

I would want to direct an advert with a Cat, a Mouse and a Dog. But when the dog like 'Dolly Mixtures' the cat likes 'prawns' and the mouse will follow a mouses urine, it does become easier when you work with something they like and very strange animals.

7) John Smith No Nonsense - 2002-Present

Staring Peter Key and when an advert has Peter Key in you can only expect one thing, Comedy.

6) Guinness Horse and Surfer - 1999

Now please leave a comment if anyone has ever seen horses up over 10 foot waves and bigger with a surfer who didn't want to do the advert riding a wave. Just shows that not everyone will do something for fame.

5) BT Ology - 1987-1991

Who would just want to watch an advert with people talking over the phone. And even worse it's a typical conversation about a mother nagging their son, what else to do an advertise BT, and they are talking about exam results. Rubbish.

4) Electricity Associated Creature Comforts - 1990-1993

This is the creature comfort country side advert but talking about electricity. Yet it can be so entertaining watching people who had been interviewed and turned into animated animals. Another fact, they didn't turn the TV series into adverts but turned the adverts into a TV series. 

3) Levis Launderettes - 1985

Again, another sex sells advert with a supposed good looking guy (not) going into a launderette and taking off his Levis and washing them, waiting for them in his pants. Realistically, who would do that. 

2) Cinzano  - 1987-1993

This is what an advert should be, but maybe slightly changed. Just telling us what the product is and that simply it. All the information and something funny at the end making it GOOD. 

And ITV number 1 advert is

1) The Cadbury's Smash Martians - 1974-2000

Celebrities thoughts "It is like a cult classic", "They absolutely riped the pea out of the human race", "British humour at it's best and still funny", "Loved smash adverts fantastic and made me laugh." I think what made it funny is that people liked to do the voice of the Martians and if you stickied a different voice on the Martians, they just wouldn't be funny. And not to forget the laugh. An idea like this could only come from a night out at a Pub. 

There you go 'Top 20 best ever ITV ads.' Conclusion, you can't get many good ads, you can get a lot of information out of nothing, I have nothing else better to do with my time and Blame ITV for advertisements if you get sick of them as they were the first broadcasting channel to air an advert. 

Hunting Down the Worlds Most Wanted Thing.

If you are thinking of the world most wanted thing, let me put you out of your misery, is a job. When all of this stuff on the credit crunch came on the TV, my first thought is that this is not going to affect me one little bit when everything and everyone was falling around me and now I have joined the band wagon. 

As I am now 16 (months ago), I am now on the Job hunt (just shows how organised I am) as also I have finished my CV with the help of Jongudmund . Looking for a job everywhere is impossible right now. Every time I look on a website searching for a job through their criteria, there is none and then they ask you to leave you details. You end up spending 20 minutes filling out all your information and a load of useless stuff to either:

1. On the last page filling out you information and then the Internet corrupts.

2. The most annoying thing is that you have taken all that time to full out all your information and then after the so many days they say that are going to reply if you do get a job, no reply.

I blame the people who started the credit crunch and in result of this, I have no money, as I have no money need a job, to get a job people need to either retire or get fired (personally prefer people getting fired) and then get paid and have money. Life's ambition. 

Not sure but I might have a problem with having MONEY. 

To the nth degree annoying.

Everyday some people have good days and some have bad days, but one thing which will make or brake these types of days is your friends being sarcastic. If your on a good day, sarcasm can be good like my friend Jongudmund, then any more than that then it becomes a bad day. Then if you are having a bad day and your friends or even family are sarcastic a little then, my advice, don't do what you are thinking to do like my other friend Emyr.

I am not saying sarcasm isn't funny but just to say know your friends limits to it and what type of day they are on before. On my defence, none of this applies to me none of it I tell you. But here's something which is very funny sarcasm.
