Heyy everyone,
Guess what.
I'm moving on from the whole Japanese Challenge as at the moment I just have way to much to do, and what I mean by that is I've just found out that the school is adding Music BTEC to the list of courses for next year so I've got about until September to learn as much Music Theory as I can.
Wish me luck.
So it's the start of the holidays and frankly they couldn't have come soon enough, the amount I have to do in this 2 week break is just crazy (although I'm gladly dropping my Diploma course for a Music BTEC next year) So yeah I have to learn as much music theory as I can just so I can get ahead with this subject and NOT make the same mistake as i did last year LOL.
HEYY quick just before you go I would really appreciate it if you could start using the 'reactions' at the bottom of every post I have. It's kind of like the whole 'like' thing on Facebook but much better as you get to say whether you thought the blog was any good or not.

Viral Friday - Teachers and Fainting GOATS
Heyy everyone,
It feels good to do another viral Friday and sure enough I have 2 stupid videos to show you beautifully awesome blog followers.
First up. Does anyone remember that film 'Men Who Stare At Goats'?
Well believe it or not a video has surfaced which shows basically the same thing, when I say the same thing I don't mean people who are actually psychic and can really kill goats because that's just stupid and no-one has tried that right?
No this video shows a breed of goats called 'Myotonic Goats' and when they're scared or excited their muscles stiffen up for a few seconds rendering them useless.
Now remember those immortal words shouted out at school every so often at lunch? FIGHT!

Discrimination and Hate (Serious)
Heyy everyone,
First up twitter was down yesterday and I also couldn't get on to YouTube to post the updates but I still did a Wednesday blog, if you want to read that click here.
Now, onto something serious again and something that's has constantly bugged me.
Discrimination.
Now it may not seem very much to you but to some people this can be a daily hell that they have to unfortunately endure.
There are many types of discrimination; racism, sexism and attacks on religious beliefs but what I'm more interested in is social stereotypes and the hate that is so eagerly thrust upon them. Don't get me wrong I can take a joke at my expense but it's when things become hate-filled that I get annoyed. Being 17 and in secondary school I witness a lot more of this than say the average adult would witness but I've just never gotten used to it, and maybe I shouldn't.
The thing that baffles me is WHY do people seem to hate on others who dress differently or are of a different 'scene' than these 'haters' are. For some people it may be as little as a few shouted words across a street but for others they're not so lucky
At 01:10 on Saturday 11th August 2007 Sophie Lancaster and Robert Maltby were attacked by a group of males at a park in Lancashire UK, Sophie suffered severe head injuries and as a result went into a coma and eventually died. Her boyfriend, Robert who was also in a coma eventually after 2 weeks recovered.
This is what really sickens me, that these 2 people who weren't doing anyone any harm get attacked in such a brutal way all because of the way they were dressed and it's this narrow minded society that makes young people today think that it's OK to hate based on what someone wears or how they look. I just hope that people will start to just open their eyes and see that what someone wears does NOT determine whether they are a threat or not. I mean when was the last time you heard of a so called Goth, Emo or Scene Kid committing ANY crime whatsoever?
I have NOTHING against anyone no matter what they look like or what social stereotype they closest resemble and I just wish that soon this feeling of HATE will disappear from everyone and that all types of HATE and DISCRIMINATION will subside and eventually disappear from today's society.

I Like Films, LoveFilm
Heyy everyone,
moving on to something a bit lighter after yesterday's sickening rant,
I got LOVEFILM
Well at least for 30 days on my ps3.
Main reason being that half way through following Phillip DeFranco's 30 day challenge of 30 film reviews I decided that I would join in, even if I had missed out on a few great films.
I thought it would be good to start out with a film that had gone down well in this epic list of 30,
'Oldboy'
The story of a man who is imprisoned for 15 years with no clue why and then sets out to get revenge as well as answers. Only one word to sum this film up, WOW. This has to be one of the best movies I've ever seen 'By The Way' This is NOT a film review.
I guess one of the best scenes in the entire film would be during the massive side scrolling fight scene. That is something that you won't forget easily, I definitely recommend that you watch this as it's now up there in my top 10 best films.
After that it was just cheap horrors all the way with 'Evil Aliens', 'Teeth' and the much loved 'The Human Centepied' hmmm, wish me luck as there's no way I'm getting through this without throwing up.

Worthless Parents (SERIOUS)
Heyy everyone,
So today was another work based day even though I got absolutely nothing done. Oh well.
And sadly even though I had two whole hours in I.T. we didn't really talk about anything.
And now I have writers block and I can't think of anything else to write.
Oh wait!!!
When I got back today I set out what work I was going to do and pretty much got on with it, that is until my Mum arrived somewhat panic stricken. Being the sort of person I am I asked her what had happened and well lets just say this is where it gets completely serious and a bit disturbing if I might add.
So my mum and my sister were walking back from buying my sis some new school shoes when they came to the rail crossing that runs through the centre of Lincoln. The gates were down so naturally they both stopped and waited for the train to pass, and that's when my mum caught something out of the corner of her eye, something that was not quite right. to the side of her was a little child in a pram. This isn't the strange part. The strange part was what the 'mother' was doing. Now any of you who read this will know that if someone has a can (alcohol) in one hand they shouldn't really be pushing a pram with the other. But this girl looked more than just a bit tipsy and as time passed she let go of the pram and went and sat over by a wall. Obviously this meant that there was no-one there to look after what my mum says was only a 3 year old child. If this isn't bad enough the drunk (high) mother then starts taunting this unfortunate child and everyone can see that there is no way that this little child is enjoying what is currently going on. The mother on the other hand is seeming to love this as she cannot stop laughing at the child's distress. Now this is when my mum just had to step in and politly asked the other mother to stop as the child so notably found what his mother was doing to be distressing. What my mum got back was the average CHAV response, swearing and laughter, this disgusting excuse for a mother was definatly on some kind of drug. After the response she got my mum then got the attention of a passing police car and pointed the drunk (high) taunting mother out to him. That's when whoever it was who was taunting the child decided to RUN. Now the police had to do something about this as another member of the public had come up to them as well and told them what was happening. Unfortunatly as the mother had so eagerly ran off the police soon lost them but said that they would continue to search for both mother and child.
So that's what I got told today and honestly it made me feel sick.
What scares me is that this child whoever it is has done NOTHING to deserve this kind of behaviour and god knows what happened afterwards. I just hope the police found these 2 and that this poor defenceless child is now in proper care.
It's things like this that make me question whether we live in a trully safe society and make me wonder whether us (the civilian) has enough power on our own to stop things like this happening because there must have been at least 50 or 60 people around when this event took place yet only my mum and one other person actually stepped in and attempted to stop this.

Haterz Will Hate!
Guess what everyone.
No sleep + 3 Days = complete fuck up and ILLNESS. :(
Heyy everyone so today as I was just going crazy after a few days worth of work I decided to catch up on my sanity and YouTube videos and I ended up watching a few old ONISION videos which kind of got me thinking, there's a lot of hate out there.
I mean on the Internet, where any coward can hide behind his username and just SPAM every video he wants to, including the good videos.
I too as well as other YouTubers have been on the receiving end of this new form of hate many a time before but I was one of the people who secretly LOVED getting that hate-filled comment just because it proved my point on how a cowardly a Hater acts.
Allow me to explain:
1. Hater has a sad life where they are not able to socialise.
2. Hater finds out about YouTube (a place where they can say what they like without any physical repercussions.)
3. Hater starts trolling videos looking for every slight fault (especially new YouTube users as they do not yet have a fan base to argue on their side.)
4. Hater comments, usually FAG, CUT YOU HAIR, U SUCK, I HATE YOU (by the way I HATE the F word)
5. Hater feels a sense of achievement when posting this comment.

Sunday Ruddy Sunday
So keeping with yesterday's blog today was just full of coursework which is why I made today's video as soon as I got up yesterday.
Please comment on this video as I really want to make something out of this blog and this YouTube channel so please if you can just comment with something that would be a good topic to perhaps base my future YouTube videos on.
THANK YOU!
Today has just been typing and typing and guess what. More typing, I swear I'm going to get RSI soon if I keep this up, but I gotta do it if I want to pass any of these courses so with 4 cups of good old British tea I set to work. At first I started out looking up contemporary music pieces for my classes Creative and Media Evening. Most of the 'good' stuff I found I posted on my last blog. HERE!
