July 7th - Jackass, Chillstep and a Mighty ol' meal!

I've been up and about since around 8am ish, possibly earlier, I tidied my bedroom and changed my bed sheets and cleared up my room making it all pretty again, I then tidied up my housemate Luis' room a bit as we spent last night in there on the PC.

I then just jammed to some Chillstep tunes for a few hours, I just lay there with my head out the window watching the world go by.

I spent the most part of the day lounging about and watched Jackass 3D then Jackass 3.5 which I might add are both bloody great, the new pranks, tricks and stunts are epic. They really did provide many a laugh.

I then watched "The Girl Next Door" which is also a decent movie,

Finally got showered and then started preparing for my dinner, it was a toss up between Battered Haddock and Mash or Sausage and Mash, Sausage and Mash won so I peeled some Potatoes, found my Peas and Carrots and got them all sorted, I picked up a large Yorkshire Pudding from the Co-op the other day so used that as well, was a bloody tasty meal!

The rest of the evening will consist of tidying downstairs, doing the washing up then playing xbox for a few hours before watching Centurion and The Crazies.

God Speed.

Black Ops - Rant Time

So I feel like I should have a rant about C.O.D Black Ops...

As much as I love the game and all the countless hours I have played day in day out with my friends I really do have a few things that piss me off so much I often end up raging and turning my xbox off so I can cool down, I am just going to go through the things that piss me off the most so let me know what you think.

These are in no order as they all piss me off equally!

So we have the shoddy way the blops servers throws you in games, I mean usually if you are in a party you get in lobbies and find decent games, but if you are playing solo...it's a whole new story, it throws you in game where you are like 15 kills from the end and your team is losing... I like to try and keep my stats decent and being thrown into a game even I cannot pull back a win from is very frustrating.

If you leave a lobby because it is full of nubs or annoying idiots you restart searching, oh look.... I am back in the same lobby with the same idiots, fuck my life! I could rant for ages about how shoddy the "searching for games" aspect of blops is but I wont.

Next on the agenda is a question, "How the fuck is this guy stabbing me when I have unloaded half a clip into his chest/head?", that's right...you know the moment you run around a corner and are met by an enemy you instantly start filling them with bullets but somehow down to magic they lunge in for a knife kill...what ever happened to being shot knocks you back, show me one person in real life who could lunge through a clip of ammo and knife someone to death.

I have to mention nubtubers as they really do piss me off, however I feel nubtubing is more of a MW2 problem and not as many dicks bring it to blops, however we do still have the idiots trying to quick scope which makes me laugh when they fail so hard.

I really feel the spawning should get a mention too, one minute you can have an area secured and be starting to edge forward on a map them BAM someone spawns right next to you and obliterates you where you stand, the littlest things also like time it takes to throw a flash/plant claymore then get your gun back out are tedious too, as well as how people who are flashed/stunned and can clearly not see you still managing to shoot ten shades of shit out of you.

All that said I still fucking love this game and will continue to play it but heck I do shout a ton of abuse at my screen when playing and It does rile me to the core.

So for my fellow gamers, what are your C.O.D peeves??

Don't you just love windows!?

Don't you just love windows...I could literally spend the whole day looking out my window, it's amazing, epecially on a nice sunny day so many different types of people walk on by.

I must say now, I call it my window but is isn't actually my window, don't panic I am not on a "list" I simply borrow my housemate Luis' window.

Luis room is on the same floor as mine bu facing the street so I often lounge on his bed and spend a fair bit of time out the window.

My "real" window is a pretty damn good window too, so don't think I am not using it out of hatred I've included the views from both windows.

View from Luis' room! Awesome right!?

...And from mine!!

The thing I love most about window stalking (that's really the only word for it) is that no one bothers to look to see if you are lurking so you do encounter many random things or silly acts of tomfoolery from the casual walker who was unaware of your viewing.

Another great thing about Luis' window is the way the house is situated on the street and the shape/architecture of the houses, garden walls etc are aligned anything said down there travels up here, it's like you were stood down there listening. The amount of random, mostly pointless, conversations I could happily listen in on into on a day to day basis.

They have also just recently built a new bus stop outside our house which provides some good convos and banter.

Let me clarify I am not a stalker nor do I wish to be named as one, I just feel that laying there with my head out the window taking in the world and the day to day lives of people, it gives you time to clear your head and think about your life, picturing what the individuals do in life, if they look happy/sad, where they are off to, the simplest of things, it all makes you think ...yeah kinda deep and soppy but I am speaking only the truth

So you crazy bunch, what's your outlook on windows..?

Sucker Punch - Epic Film

This movie has been given various bad reviews and a lot of people have been saying it was poorly made and all round not that good.

I would have to disagree,

"Sucker Punch" is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary.

When I saw the trailer I was hooked, it had hot women fighting and shooting, dragons and warriors, it was action packed and looked insane but it really does hide the true story of the film.

(Apologies for spoilers)

Emily Browning (Baby Doll)’s mum dies, she and her little sister are left in the care of her stepfather who abuses them, one night she pulls out a gun and goes to shoot him, she misses and the bullet ricochets and kills her sister, she is arrested then taken to a mental institution.

Her stepdad bribes the doctor to make sure she cannot remember anything; a lobotomy is planned for five days time.

Directed by Zach Snyder who also did Dawn of the Dead, 300, and Watchmen it really does fit in the mix.

With the lobotomy in five days Baby Doll plans an escape, with the use of an excellent yet possibly unstable imagination and a group of other mental patients, who happen to also be hot girls.

Even though the film is mostly fantasy, action and has a lot of twists, it is a deep film and does require you to open your mind, be able to pay attention, take it in and keep up with what is going on.

If you are male and into video games, fighting, action, fantasy I would definitely recommend this film for you.

I even had a freaky “Sucker Punch”-like dream last night which was amazing.

Anyway here it the trailer, but remember what I said, the trailer (I feel) doesn’t portray the actual story, it is more of a compilation of epic parts to get you hooked.

Poetry? Hell Yeah! And You?

I was going through my laptop deleting old crap, I came across this poem I wrote about a friend who died.

The days are dragging on now, its nearly been a year

We're sat at home all thinking 'lets all shed one last tear'

You are missed like mad by all your mates life’s just not the same

Yet other s go by without a blink and thinks its all a game

We wake at night all thinking this shit is just a dream

It's not, you're gone were left behind insight of this bad scene

Hope you ‘re resting well in heaven with the big man ‘G’ himself

And you best look out for us up there and keep us in good health.

Anyway It then made me remember about a poem I wrote as a kid which actually got published in a book.

Every year at our primary school there would be this thing where we all handed in poems and then for our age groups over Cambridgeshire selectones were chosen to be published in a book which could then be bought buy parents, possibly for charity I can't quite remember.

Penguins.

Penguins penguins all around

Penguins slide along the ground

Penguins eat lots of fish

But penguins dont have a dish.

I was only a little kid but look at the words, how they work well together, the way it tells a story and all that jazz (bahaha I jest it sucked).

Was just curious if any of you lot out there have talent with poetry?

Google+

Google have pulled the curtain back on Google+ (or Google Plus), a social network designed to go toe-to-toe with Facebook while emphasizing something Facebook doesn't: privacy.

This site looks great so far and I have only been on half hour or so, it is currently in a test mode where only invited people can get on and I only went and got myself a bloody invite!

Eh people say it is just like facebook, bahaha bore me later FB is lame, you have a billion friends you never speak to and the privacy settings over their are easily beaten.

Google + will focus more on select groups and circles for you to allocate people in, you will be able to share things, chat and even video chat within your circles, it is all looking very posh and confusing at the moment.

If you need an invite to Google+ inbox me your addy or comment if you like.

Yes "Invite" feature is down but the way I get you in is not via that. You simply click to view the comment I share(via email) then click the "learn more" button, jobs a gooden!

Now you see us now you don't!

I was lazing around looking on various sites and this rather legendary .GIF file was brought to my attention,

It's while funny.

The idea and thought put into this was epic, the skill taken to do a few of them is pretty insane!

I am curious who any of these guys are or what this is from or where I can find similar gif/videos...

Any input would be appreciated!

EDIT:

Thank you "IP" for finding the video and linking me! Here's the vid guys.

"IP" has a cool little blog going on too if you fancy having a browse here.
