Some thoughts…

June 29, 2009

A list of things i have thought today randomly. Noted them down throughout the day as i remembered i had this open ^^

Swine Flu is a lie. Noones actually died from it. It’s just a big cover up for the fact Dora finally snapped.

I have lots of friends, but only need to use both of my hands to count the people i truely trust that aren’t related to me (8) .. it doesn’t mean i don’t trust my friends.. im just over hesitant to tell some things to people… and i never know whether this is good or bad.
I update twitter wayyy too much but don’t care.

Michael Jackson died. As do many people. Sure it was significant, but i swear people are just milking it now…

My future is finally as a point where even i don’t know whats happening. Despite all the amazing stuff i’ll be doing over summer i’m scared. As this in many senses is now the end of much of life as i know it… i’m already getting the impression im drifting away from close friends like Mim, Sam and Dan as the ideas of moving seperate ways gets closer and becomes more daunting in my mind.

How am i going to handle living alone? I have the maturity of a 5 year old and ask questions to no end like a toddler.

Is being able to read emotions and peoples actions really a good thing…? It leaves so much paranoia..

So Barry can say he’s going to an American holiday gathering in England ages ahead, but can’t give SITC an answer till the day before? Man thinks people care too much.

Youtube are idiots. They won’t listen ever by the looks of it, and i dread the new channels… but i know theres nothing that can be done about it because history as often stated.. repeats… youtube change, and they move on. The website never looks back. (Black bars, new front page, shows tab)

Is sitting in front of a mac editing for over 3 hous really being “productive”..?

I met some amazing new people on Saturday, yet still i find a bit of me feeling too shy / me-like to meet more people openly.

If superman was real would comic super heroes even exist?

Oh shizzle. I cut my finger.

Is it racist when i add izzle to things?

I want someone to get “Im on a boat” the fuck out of my head. It keeps coming in when im NOT on a boat, and when i AM on a boat i hear the pokemon gym battle theme.

I can’t help everyone and can’t even prevent harm to people i hold close.. even when it happens right in front of me it’s not always going to be possible.

Why have i been adding to a blog since i woke up?

June 27th

June 28, 2009

Went to a gathering in London. It was cool. At first we started off with some crazy scavenger hunt with photos, in which we threw a birthday party for a random person.

We lost.

Then everyone was just sat around on Southbank seemingly with no direction to follow after then. By this time Charlie had, had to leave for his brothers graduation.

Following this Myles suggested going to the haunted show on south bank, so a fair few of us split off and went there.  It was quite short, but all the same amazing! It was run like a show with the actors acting like we were in a facility and had to escape.

The woman guiding us vanished and then quickly reappeared but with handcuffs on and chained to a machine….

We then continued around a corner into a room where some guy had a sparkler or something and they came out and around us. It was lulz.

Following this we went to hang out around London, and eventually ended up in Pizza hut, which then led to a smaller group of us going around London and having fun doing random simple things like riding the lions in Trafalgar Square, and going on the South Bank carousel XD XD
All in all i had fun, and especially loved the evening as it became much more laid back and friendly.. and had a carousel.

We’re all fanboys at some point…

June 19, 2009

I log onto my email as i get back this evening to “Justine is now following you” Followed by a DM from Justine. Then i go onto twitter to see who Justine actually is..

It’s safe to say that had someone burst into my room, pulled out a gun and murdered me at that exact moment. I would have died a happy tweeter.

The internet is full of desperate people…

June 17, 2009

I often go onto dailybooth feeds to post a comment and get put off as i see some people, and often the same people, desperately “Joking” and pushing for people to be naked.
I think there’s even a user now called NakedBooth in which people are actually going to extremes.
This has made me generally start thinking that dailybooth is packed full of desperate single men who are so desperate that they get kicks from seeing underage girls evidently sat there naked.

All you have to do is watch the live feed for a short time and you see the proportion of kids around 12-14 using the site as extremely high.. yet grown men of 20+ are seen to be happily posting on individual pages with comments like “This would have been better if you were naked” and generally sitting around hitting on younger girls whilst commenting topless and things…

I MEAN COME ON, how desperate are these people?

Minidave recently kicked off a thread where everyone had clothes and then was topless. This was amusing and in joke, and generally wasn’t going around like “RIGHT GET NAKED NOW” which a lot of other threads and people can be seen to do…

Each Friday you see the words “Naked Friday” spammed… its an amusing themed day, but again you see users who are an age that just takes the piss being encouraged to do it, but equally you see kids who are like “Im 15. no”

Can just see a news story one day with the site being caught up with various people charged with getting ahold of nude children somehow through the way they chat them up into it…

I don’t wanna go all negative and like RAWWRR dailybooth sucks! Cause it doesnt. It’s a cool site and a clever concept… but i just think its  being used in such a way that will no doubt be later taken too far and result in something really bad.

I was also going to add something about Pav and how he’s Pav, and doesn’t spam people demanding them nude.

Same old drag…

June 17, 2009

So i have two exams left. Come Friday i’m free ^^ Going out for a bit in the evening but not heaps ages as i have to be somewhere super early Saturday morning D:
It’s weird. Come Friday i pretty much, except leavers day on Friday, have no more college… ever…  Past seven years have shot by.. it’s seriously insane!

Friday i also need to ring up a company reference some t-shirts and get them ordered following some issues…  Right now i just want to get to the bottom of it and find out if im being lied to by the person i know, or some bent company man who’s trying to steal moneys… Either way it pisses me off that i have to wait to find this out.

Patience is a virtue… i’ll try to keep that in mind.

So yeah, Friday i have to order stuff and talk to this man and then sort out moneys for things which will be lotsa fun… Then we have to sort out various other aspects.

I was due to put up a video for SITC this week, but i’ve held off whilst this is all done… not sure whether or not that is right as it needs to get up some point for people to actually see it who might not be on facebook etc.. and longer we leave the more uninformed people become like with YouStage.

I switched my twitter to protectded…. i don’t actually know why XD I just saw some people with it and wanted to try. It’s good in the sense i havent had any spammy followers, but bad in the sense that i dont get those random messages from bots XD XD

Gonna film a video or two over the weekend and then nother two or so next week if all goes well… hopefiully enough to give me 1/2 videos a week for a while.. or at least the 2 weeks im away.

I seriously can’t wait till Friday.. i’ve even lost the will to revise cause i’ve done so much =( I’ve burnt out… JOY…

That said, i just need to keep focused on Friday and it’ll all be fine :D   Nearly done…

Rate 5 stars if you like the colour BLUE!

June 14, 2009

Have i ever blogged about people sticking “Rate 5 stars…” as an annotation? I might have… don’t care really im going to now anyway.
I HATE watching videos and then seeing “Rate 5 stars if…” pop up. It’s desperate if anything, and it just makes me NOT rate the video and in some cases leave the video page because it’s annoying.

It’s like the idiots that go around youtube posting comments like “Thanks for your comment on my last video!” when you didnt comment to make you check them out and sub or “Hey i love your channel.. subbed!” again to have the same effect.

Why can’t people treat YouTube normally and not try to game the system? People like Alex, and Dave haven’t got to where they are with the feedback by spamming channels or using such annotations, so why do people see it as a necessary?

Video ideas keep coming….

June 10, 2009

So as im continuing my studies i am continuing to build up video ideas. I think if i film like 2/3 days with Dan, Sam and some others during the week or two after 19th (last exam) i’ll be able to have something for each week of the summer, and stuff that i can upload whilst abroad, or have uploaded by friends..

That said when i go abroad from the 29th July i’m thinking i might film some things whilst abroad for each week, or do occasional blogs on burnzy121 in the evenings… depends how i feel and what goes down =)

I am travelling sooo much this summer! It’s crazy!!! I’m also missing a national sailing race i usually enter… probably for the best though. Last year some guy made me capsize so i got pissed off and rammed into his boat saying i “Lost control” just so i could maintain my race score as being higher than his… I’m bad at times.

Anyway back to the video ideas. I had a Pokemon related one that goes in sequel to “Pokemon Battle” and should be amusing, and give a bit more constant than the prior.
I have a song that i’ve written out to parody another song, which i will get filmed etc…

I stopped writing here to have a ACTUAL WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK moment… heres a tweet that summarises

Thats totally crashed my writing mood… Bye!

iPhone 3GS

June 8, 2009

The iPhone 3GS was announced today and i think it looks amazing… not physically… because… well… they haven’t changed it physically.
Picture 7

It’s the features that make this new phone appealing to me. The video recording especially. As a YouTuber this appealed to me lots… so i intend to use Burnzy121 for portable videos via the phone when it is released.

Picture 8 

Snow Leopard didn’t amaze me much but Dale made a fair point:
Picture 10

However moving back to the iPhone o2 have just started tweeting….
Picture 11 Picture 12

I think they;ve now fucked over a good change. Tethering would have been amazing, but £15-30 a month extra? no. No. NO 

Next the price. The price in America for the phones is $299  max so it is rather messed up that the price is near equal that amount in pounds….The upgradability. I dont get. last year people could upgrade as soon as the new one came out regardless of when they got the prior one… so im hoping its not when upgrade is coming cause thats 18 months for pretty much everyone. 

Personally o2 have potentially just fucked this up

Apple WWDC 2009

June 8, 2009

Prior to all mac events i like to blog or vlog about what i am expecting to happen, and since i can’t vlog due to exam revision and time restrictions which prevent me editing..it will go here.

Generally for me all apple events can be a tad annoying as through them you get reminded of the people who came along to macs and apple products following the popularity of them, or follow them because they are seen to be a cool thing to follow. I follow Apple and mac things because i take a genuine interest in the company and its moves, and i love the products.  For years i have used macs, through various generations, and i was introduced to mp3 players through the ipod when my uncle gave me one when i was younger and they first came out.

I guess in a way this is why it annoys me that the things kinda become a trend and people treat it that way and use these events to spam twitter dailybooth and other shit with stuff thats only really reassuring themselves that they know what a mac is XD

That aside… what i think.

I’ve been following patents and rumor sites such as mac rumors this time more than i used to because i have taken a genuine interest in one product that will hopefully be coming out. A third generation iPhone.

The iPhone would apparently have a electronic compass, video recording, video calls and a front facing camera – could do db with that i guess ^^ and all of the features with 3.0 which seem to be leading upto youtube integration in such a way that you can upload videos from your phone.

I was thinking i’d make a channel for my iphone videos if this happened, but then i decided 2 channels is enough and i’ll use burnzy121…

There have been many leaked pictures of the possible phone depicting a matte finish, which in my mind looks so much more amazing than the current one. Another thing… they’re apparently (if leaks are real) removing the bezel. This would take away the silver bar and make it fully the colour it is… which would be kinda cool i guess =)

The leaked case also showed a button down the side – camera? and a higher up ear piece on the phone.

Snow Leopard is another thing definitely coming out, like the new iPhone OS. Im expecting Apple to pull out a suprise or two with this. At the moment it seems to be a OS release that won’t bring much other than performance improvements and provide a stepping stone for the next system… however i can’t see apple doing this as it would be foolish and too much like the Vista release Windows pulled… so im hoping Snow Leopard has more to it so when i see it tonight im like YES MATE!! GOING TO THE APPLE STORE TOMORROW!!!! 

I mean.. if they release a new phone i will go to the apple store / o2 to get an upgrade the day its released to i dont have to wait for restocks XD

Apple always have a wildcard… something we’re not expecting. Any tablet rumors i think can fuck off. If a tablet is coming out i’d imagine it would be out next year sometime. I am however liking some rumors that are circulating about some macbook changes which could possibly put 3g in macbooks.

This would be cool, and could be a lead into Apple releasing tethering for iPhones… would be interesting to see how it is run too and how people use it, like subscriptions etc…

Pushing cars through elevators & Flying?

June 7, 2009

Last night i had the weirdest dream. It started off with me getting out of some big meeting thing, or at least i think it was that i was in a suit. My friend Mim then comes up behind me grabs me and tells me to hurry up or we’ll be late getting somewhere. Now its apparent that im somewhere in central London.

Sam then runs upto me and is like “You all set for the WWDC?” and im all like “Yeah we’re just getting the car and then we’ll drive over” -  Drive to San Fran? NO

So we go up some steps get ina  life and suddenly my cars in this elevator with us… so i push it out at the floor of the car park and we’re like “O SHIT NO TICKET TO GET OUT” So we go wandering around this suddenly deserted car park and Sam smashes in a car window and takes a ticket for me. Then this guy with a gun appears as the other two are in the car and i run over to the car about ready to start it when he aims the gun at me and says some crap.
I then got in the car and started driving but the guy was somehow holding back my car and then he shot Sam and got in the backdoor where Sam was…. i don’t have a back door…

He then tells me he’ll get me out of the car park and suddenly my cars all like “WHEYYYY IM AN AIRSHIPPP” and flies around to this wall and then we go along and theres a secret cave. We go in causde i think its the exit and its not. Its actually a dead and then the guy pulls off his mask and is all like Sylar off heroes, but instead of cutting off heads for powers he apparently gets them through touching?

Anyway i dive out of the car and then goto fly, and its weird whenever in dreams i try to fly because theres that feeling of “ok.. how do i do thiss….” and then it just happens.

So i flew away so my powers wouldnt be thieved and then a short way out cut out because i evidently didnt know how to fly and just started dropping where i was grabbed by Harry Potter on a broomstick… and then he told me a new Zelda game would be out in an hour and took me to Game and then the dream kinda went back to norma.
