Gone Before its Comes

Watching what my brother wanted to watch which is always a 'R'n'B', 'Rap' or 'HIP Hop' all the time. Its not the best thing to watch and listen to when you like completely different music to the whole family. 

But surprisingly, there was a top ten songs of each year from the 1990's, and when I was a senile child and didn't really know what I was listening to, a lot of child hood songs came on. It was most shocking to see what years the songs were released. Bands and Artist like 'Spice Girls' came out in 1995, this was when I was 2 years old and its shocking that I know that song so well and it came out when I was 2.

It makes me think how many years it has been and how well I can remember it. Look back at something you did a couple of years ago you remember well and see who many years from this year that thing was. 

It becomes very strange when you start releasing when a certain event happened. "Remember when we went to town and had a great time" then you remember that great time was yesterday. Then you say that a day has gone really slow but look back and see that it really hasn't. Day, weeks, months and years go so fast now, so make the best out of them.

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

After a Good and Bad day.

One of the best days in the world, in some ways has just gone. Easter is a good time for remembering a lot of things, when Jesus died on the cross and the Sunday when he raised from the dead. But I think that Celebrating this day should not be shown by giving our friends and family Easter eggs. 

What stupid person thought that it would be a good idea to give chocolate as a celebration of the day Jesus raised from the dead. The only logical explanation of why we have chocolate for Easter is that when this person came up with the idea, scientist didn't discover calories. I don't see any symbolic meaning with an Easter egg and the biggest thing is that every year you are assured to GAIN WEIGHT or GET SICK of CHOCOLATE! 

STUPID PERSON

So much for so much Fun

At this moment in time Guitar Hero equipment i.e. Drums, Guitar Hero Metallica and more is something which is at the top of my wish list for saving up. Searching for all these things on the entertainer (Internet) you can come across some amazing things and I found something amazing related to guitar hero 

This hear is a Guitar Hero Guitar Made from LEGO, even more amazement came to me when I found out that this guitar actually does work with the game. 

This is a real possibly contender for the Next 
Guitar Hero Guitar. 
Think this is possible for the drums also?

How to Advertise

Advertising on TV recently has become a bit dodgy. All these new techniques (this is what I am calling them) of advertising. Next thing we will know all adverts will be copy follow the Shepard and eventually we will have no idea what is being advertised on our TVs.
Techniques which could well catch on for companies is

Produce an advert which doesn't relate to what the company produces at all. This has been done by Cadbury's, THREE TIMES (which comes to no surprise). Seriously what is the point of having kids raising there eyebrows to some techno music and Aeroplane vehicles racing down a runway and driving over luggage bags, Someone tell me what has this got to do with chocolate. Unfortunately I have a very strong feeling that this will catch on.

Animation is a good way of advertising as it is cheap and you can also add funky music in the background. Done by 118 247, such a great advert which can make you laugh. Put a rhythm in with the words and you have a funny advert. This is a technique I hope that will catch on. Great.

Make adverts SEXY. Add anything which is sexy in an advert and it will sell and fly out of the store. This technique of advertising has already been used in many adverts, Birds eye Fish Fingers, all make up adverts and also I saw one the other day which actually looked like a porno but was an advert for Kiss FM (I had to check I wasn't watching the American Super Bowl for a second). 

There are many ways to advertise and some of these can be great, some of them can be really rubbish an also disturbing. I know which types of advert I want to see on my TV from now on.

Why we go by Welsh TIme.

I found out a while back what WELSH TIME was and why nothing starts on time (apart from school) and this is because I am and people I know are Welsh or have become Welsh from moving to Wales. But I only recently worked out why we have Welsh time and this is because Stupid Bus Services never arrive on time at a Bus stop (and people have no sense of time, but this is not the point)

As I have got a free Bus Pass now I have been using the bus for anywhere I go. Going to school and coming home from school, the down side of catching a bus to school is that you need to wake up and get out of the house earlier than you did before catching a Bus, annoying. Also getting a Bus to town and well anywhere. Form catching the Bus I have realised why us Welsh have such thing called Welsh time

But also realised why so many people:
  • Have bad days right from the begin to the end of the day because they have missed s a meeting or something important because a Bus is late.
  • Why some people have such good memories; as they practise remembering what times the Bus comes at their regular stop and also which Buses to catch. 
  • Why regular people who catch a Bus have such good balance when on buses and in any uncomfortable situation.
  • And why people have no money, one because of the Credit Crunch and also for catching a Bus every day if they don't have a bus pass and a car or don't need it.

There is knowledge every where around us and things to learn, and when you do learn these things record them in a Blog, something you can look forward to doing on the odd occasion (and a substitute to doing something which has to done and you don't want to be doing i.e. House work, work in general or homework for me).

Guilty Pleasures

When I say guilty pleasures I know what you are thinking and dont. What I am talking about is watching videos on Youtube with things i shouldn't be hearing (swear words). My brothers showed me this and I laughed so hard that I cried (not a first) than I ever have before.
Here is the video for you to Watch; End of Ze World

Another Step for Freedom.

Last Thursday, I finally took a stand as I am now 16 and also got my free Bus pass allowing me to go anywhere on a bus in wales for FREE (all I need to do now is remember main bus roues). For the first time ever I went into Cardiff City Centre by myself, no annoying brothers, no mum dragging you into shops not normally met my men and telling you what to buy and what not to (not going with friends as well lets you get things done much quicker).

I went in to get a few bits and pieces spending around about £20 pound on one game, a mothers day card £7 headphones, a present for a friend and a simply shake for myself (treat) just shows who much £20 goes (not very far). Down side to it is that in town after school when finished getting home takes three times as long.

Then in youth getting informed by a friend that you can spend another £5 on top of 20 and get
  • 2 tops
  • 1 pair of shoes
  • 1 belt
  • 1 pair of shorts
  • 1 pair of sun glasses
  • and lunch for two people

This shows that my friend Thomas is the ultimate shopper and knows where to buy things very cheap or Primark is the cheapest shop in the world.

Not Enough, All LIES

The other day I had a Cadbury's (now fairly traded) low calorie Hot Chocolate and as I am on a diet I measured out how much water it would equal out to the amount of calorie it says. The amount of calories was 40 and this was 200ml of water. As I was not to good at measuring I measured hot water in a measuring jug and poured it in a cup. Well the shock which came to much face. Adding the hot water, it didn't even full half of the cup.

It just shows that:
  1. Even though you are on a diet, you don't only change what you eat but the amount you eat even if it is healthy (and if you buy a healthy microwave meals then there is no hope it getting a decent size meal)
  2. When you see something which says low calorie, don't instantly think this is good as the quantity may be rubbish. Check the back of the package for the calories, to the amount of what ever needed i.e. water to calories.
  3. If you are on a diet I suggest you cook (not microwave or oven ready meal), and then you can control how much you wish to have (only do this if you have the control and KNOW when to stop).

First Time for Everything, or Sometimes Not.

If you are lucky enough to have a few gifts here and there or something you buy for yourself, the good thing (I assume and some people I know) about buying something cool, is that you will be the first one to open touch and possibly see the the product (before anyone you are around that time). Knowing the feeling of that you have brought something and get to open it is a little bit of the best part in buying it.

I get all happy when I open a product or some sort of gadget and get to use it first. What I don't like is when someone opens something I have brought before me taking away some of the excitement of having that product, this could be that I have brought phone and needs charging or any other gadget. I am so obsessed about it, even as little and a CD or DVD. I would like to know if I am STRANGE or do normal people feel this way comment and say YES or NO to this.
