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.

To Over Dramatic

A couple of weeks ago there was a mini series for Torchwood called 'Children of the Earth'. The series was great and I had to hang on all weekend to see the final episode as I went away for the weekend.

ALERT ALERT Spoiler alert. If you haven't seen 'Torchwood Children of the Earth' (lets face it who hasn't) and is wanting to see it, stop reading now to not know the epic thing which happened.

Again BBC had to kill off another cast member of 'Torchwood', Ianto died alone with Captain Jack

who came back to life. Ianto dying with Captain Jack beside him = another Gay scene. But to the point of the blog is that after I watched the last episode, me a big Facebook fan, I posted a Status saying that 'Connor Knapton when watching TV should really not get emotional'.

Although what made me feel a little better was when I went down to Cardiff Bay last

week was what I saw outside the Torchwood entrance.

Yes this is a bunch of letter and also sadly flowers to the cast of Torchwood as possibly it would be the last series (maybe). After I saw Doctor Who down by there, no joke Doctor Who was there and as I saw him the first thing which came to my mind is where is the Camera. No Cameras. So I couldn't miss the chance to see what it was. I did have a feeling that it was it but I had to have a look.

It seems like one person wrote a proper letter and then as people saw it they started to write on the back of receipts. From someones smart thinking but horrible taste. A way they made the

flowers last is put a chocolate wrapper under and fill it with water. So in result I make this 3 sads. Sad for being over dramatic, one for having horrible taste (put them in a Marks and Spenser packet not a Chocolate Dime wrapper) . And sad that someone would do this and other people would follow .

SAD SAD SAD

Wheres Cardiff Now?

Today, I actually did something productive. On Thursday I went to Roath Park Community Centre in the aim to use there GYM, but sadly I got turned (pretty much normal) as I needed to get a Max Card to then get my Stretch. It was a bit stupid to get one card to get another. Although both enable me with big discount to many places.

I finally got that done today after waiting a whole weekend (which it totally doesn't seem like) and was able to use the GYM. I did have my hopes up with going to this GYM expecting it to be like any other GYM. To later to shocked to the comparison to any other GYM I have been to. I was told that the equipment was the latest GYM technology, my description of it would be that it is futuristic GYM technology.

The things like the Treadmill is simply a Treadmill but with upgraded technology and monitoring system as well as the Cross Trainer. The really cool stuff was the that there was a machine which was a cross between a Treadmill and a Cross Trainer which simulated you in running on the stop and determines the stride length you took. Sounds a lot like a Treadmill but it is a lot better.

Then there was the Mountain bike simulator XDream. It is sort of like mountain biking but indoors. It is just like being outside, it gets harder the higher the slope and easier going down slopes with other real competitive computer character. And amazing, Multi player with the machine next to you. It is a lot of work to do it but burns off a lot of then calories. I would describe it as a Guitar Hero in the sence of thatyou have to perform the action to win.

Then comes the weight lifting equipment. When I got my induction and the GYM coordinator showed me how it all worked, well every time I got on a machine I had no idea what so ever it would to. Then being stunned by what it does. When you perform the actions on the machine. there is not one part of it which doesn't move at all, including yourself sitting on it. As well a Water Powered Rowing Machine, instead of the Concept Two Rowers.

In conclusion, The GYM will be seeing a lot of me from now. Also the steep decline of the Cardiff's funds in money, I know what it had gone into now, the GYM and the whole brand new building but properly mostly into the Gym.

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.

Like a Bulll in a Water Factory.

Lately my mum has been making me and our brothers eat more healthly (I should really say trying) the only success she has been successful with is what we drink.

Painfully after a big arguement about how fast the Cans are being drunk, this is because we can only have one Can a day and they were dissapearing quite fast (in result of ME). Then all of a sudden there appeared to be bottles and bottles of water in our fridge and NO CANS!!

To be fair, the water is called 'Perfectly Clear' and is flavoured water which is really nice and how could know it that something healthly for you is nice (we are also aloud more than one a day). The result of me and my brothers liking the water is every time in Home Bargins (the shop which replace Woolworth down Albany road) gets the 'Perfectly Clear Water', she clears the shalves of water as it is really cheap.

21 out of 377 prom photos I am in.....

Many more then I thought I would be in and more than my brother was WooHoo

Give it up, give up and shut up.

When someone starts an arguement about anything, lastest games or what to do today, whatever, there is always one thing which can stop a conversation in my situation. As I am a Christian I really need to be careful what I say around certain type of people. "I thought you were a Christian."Recently people have been saying this to me and it really pushes my buttons.

When I get to stressed in arguements I do say things which I shouldn't say and the one thing people say is "I thought you were a Christian." Some people don't say it but the real reason people do say it is that they have no come back at tall and they don't admit it but they have lost and they don't have a come back.

The people who do say it is families and friends, in all people who know that you are a Christian. Just a warning to people who say it to me and to any other Christian, when you do say that we all know that really we have won the arguement and as we know this, take as long as you want to come up with a come back just to not hear that.

Totally Wanted UPDATED

OK with nothing to do all the day and being asleep for more than half of it, I have been research on guitar Hero games to come out. The story starts at when I got Guitar Hero World Tour GUITAR BUNDLE for XBOX 360 for my Birthday and as I knew, in result of buying world tour I would also want the drums.

The last 2 Guitar Hero games which have come out (Metallica and also Smash Hits) they haven't sold the Band Bundle and looking at the next 2 Guitar Hero games coming out in September they will be selling the full Band Bundle. Unfortunately I have spent the money on my Game card which I got after trading in my DS and Games which I got £78 and as I thought they wouldn't bring out another Band Bundle I spent it Stupidly.

In result, I will need to save up for it all over again. After calculations I worked out that solid hard working for a month will bring me to a £1. Not really it should bring me to something like £10 or so pounds away when I get EMA, (that's if I do get it) £30 a week if I go to school and £40 at the end of the month. My plans are all set for it and I can't wait.

Guitar Hero 5 is out September 2009.
