OK before I begin todays entry now the 5 albums thing has now turned into 10 favourite albums which it was really hard to decide on 5.
Anyway I have gone out today in the afternoon down to Brighton Maderia Drive near the Brighton Marina to a Ford Mondeo Meet Up which you had to own a Ford Mondeo which my mate John has.
So my mate came to my home and my Dad wanted to look at his car especially his engine and looked really cool. My Dad knew more about car engines than me which was really cool. Anyway It was around 2 O'clock, we decided to head down to Brighton where we met up with the other Mondeo owners and it was cool to see what they done to their cars.
Here's pictures of what happened today.
Well Im glad I went to this event today. Thanks John.
Now I know I talked about Monty Python in one of my past blogs but I love it to bits so much, I know its very conversational at times but I try not to laugh at them jokes and move on from it.
Now some of its best jokes from the first two series are featured in the film "And now something completely different...." which was really cool unless you got the series of Flying Circus which then theres no need to see the film.
I watched Holy Grail for the first time ever which I mentioned the other day that I watched some of it and now I have watched the whole film and its now one of my favourite films of all time. Hooray.
Speaking about the five favourite albums I have now reached 5 albums now which is fantastic news.
I will do this as a blog entry probably tomorrow or Monday depending on what mood I am in.
The five albums are 1) 2Pac - Me Against The World 2) Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol II 3) Kanye West - The College Dropout 4) Chamillionaire - The Sound Of Revenge 5) Oasis - Whats The Story...... Morning Glory???
My mum came into my room yesterday, as she was talking to me she looked at my computer screen and said sarkie bitch. I said what he’s being nice.
She laughed and said 'Do you remember the other day when you said ‘I’ve earned 65 dollars on you tube’ and I said ‘deep joy thirty quid hope it was worth all the crap’ anyway you said ‘more like forty pounds with the way the pound is at the moment’. And I said I sure all the people losing their jobs, will take comfort that your a tenner better off. You said WHAT and I said that’s sarcasm look it up.
So I thought I would this is what I found.
Remarks that mean the opposite of what they say and are intended to mock or deride.
Mocking or ironic language intended to convey scorn or insult.
Anyway I think I get it. This was the best example I could find is king of sarcasm, Basil Fawlty, said when Mrs Richards complains about the view of Torquay: "What did you expect to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...?"
Being a big user of sarcasm my mum told me the best way to deal with sarcastic people is to pretend you don’t understand, if someone gives a backhand compliment thank them it really pisses them off.
Right before you guys say 'hey you said you weren't going to do any more videos for a while' now I have been tagged 3 times for the wrong hand drawing tag game by John, Sam and Tom Milsom and will do a video on that today. The way I feel at the moment it maybe a while before I do another video but who knows because I can change my mind and its up to me.
Im still thinking about my 5 albums got lots to go through but I have chosen two already and its giving me good memories.
I have been thinking about a lot of things going on with life in general. I was thinking to myself that sometimes people need time away from the whole thing. Now yesterday I saw a couple of videos from DMclean1989 and MetallicaMatt saying they are taking time out of youtube. I maybe thinking the same way now I got a lot going on at the moment. Family pressures and I have gotten lazy which I shouldnt do at my age. I know its crazy but it is true.
At the moment I dont have the stamina to do anymore videos for the moment. PJ send me an intro today which Im thankful he did but It made me realise that Im going to stick to the same formula because it works for me, I dont need gimmicks or anything else lol, I like being myself and if anyone else doesn't like it TOUGH SHIT.
I may do video next week but Im not in the right frame of mind and not enjoying the Youtube experience. Even though I had a brillant time on BlogTV the other night where everybody turned up. May see you on saturday for the gathering but because of the state Im in, not sure that I would enjoy myself. Im hoping everyone has a great time if I aint going to be there.
Now I was reading Dave's blog (Musicfromblueskies) and Alex's Diary (Nerimon) have picked out their five favourite albums and I may do this as a blog entry because it is an interesting question.
Have a good evening everyone going back to watch Monty Python Flying Circus and Im up to series 3 and loving it.
Hey everyone thought I would do a blog today as it made me think of old games again and this time for the Playstation 2.
I was playing Jak & Daxter which is a brillant made by the same people who brought out Crash Bandicoot and their latest game series Uncharted for the Playstation 3.
I loved this game so much, one of my favourites from the Playstation 2 era which is still going on.
Now one of the things about the game that it is very similar to some of the platformers but I love the way the game comes out it is brillant family game. Im more into these type of games plus the Fifas, GTA (Which I was in the past), Metal Gear Solid.
Now it is nice to play a family game like this that is original around 2001. Now I love playing these games a lot, now when it came to the second game Jak II: Renegade. The makers of the franchandise were very smart that their target audience or original audience have gotten older and made the game a bit more for teeangers which was an excellent move and moved it to another level. I wasnt a fan of the second game, so I never bought the third game but I did hear it was a brillant game to end their series on.
Here's a trailer to Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy -
I was also thinking back to another old game I used to play years ago then they came out with a new title just last year called Sam & Max. The best comedy police computer game characters ever. The creators of this game were fantastic. I havent played this but it is truly awesome.
Here's a clip from Sam & Max Hit The Road which is the intro.
I will play Sam & Max again one day.
OK onto Update now in Monday's entry I said that Ian's latest video called "When Two Worlds Collide" should get featured and that I send off an e-mail to Jamie telling him about the video.
Well good news is that Jamie did reply to my e-mail about this issue and will check it out. I can not promise that this would get the feature but at least my e-mail worked for the moment. But I hope it does give Ian (iianrando) his featured spot on the front page whether it is UK or eslewhere.
OK Finally there is a lot of talk and videos about the new Youtube Widescreen. Now I dont see a big problem with this. I aint going to lie, I think this is brillant but the only thing that is missing is making optional that you can view a video either in 4:3 (Regular) or 16:9 (Widescreen) which is the only complaint I have. Im not going to make a video about this because I know a hundred people will do this eventually.
I thought Alex Day's letter to Youtube video was excellent to raise awareness that most people would be afraid to speak their minds about. I think Youtube should try to talk to their audience a bit. I love how Lexx used them to name them which is great.
I dont see a big problem with this Widescreen like I said accept to making it optional on how you view the videos thats all.
Right Im done now. I dont think the Youtube thing will die down quickly but I rather it did to be honest, I think it could be an excellent thing in the long run. I think people are afraid of change thats why with the uproar.
Hey everyone Im back after a great weekend out and about plus watching Monty Python Marathon which was totally brillant.
I went into Brighton to do some christmas shopping and great news is that I was able to finish it off. Which I cant tell you what I got them because my family and friends do read my blog every now and then. It was really cool and I AM SO GLAD I HAVE FINISHED IT A MONTH BEFORE (Sorry for the caps but I am glad tbh). Over the weekend I had my cousin come around which was cool he bought around his puppy which was awesome and very active. We watched Monty Python and Scrubs and it was really cool.
Now on sunday it was cool that I watched Star Wars Episode III Revenge Of The Sith and it was a really good film not as good as the original trilogy which will never be beaten. It was a really dark film which had me in chills at times.
I found a youtube clip where they put the clips together of Obi-Wan Vs Anakin fight.
OK I haven't seen a well done video like this in a long time and I think I can relate to this video in certain ways. It was made by iianardo (Ian) who is a fantastic guy and makes brillant funny videos but this serious one he put up on Saturday is one of the best videos I have ever seen on Youtube. I have contacted the UK Editor to get this featured. Why not check it out.
OK finally I have been looking at my old games for my Xbox (Yes Xbox). Now I dont like the Xbox 360 because of the tricky controllers which I find hard to control. Now I was playing them over the last couple of days. Including Star Wars Revenge Of The Sith which I watched over the weekend. I played Shadow the Hedgehog and my personal favourite Psychonauts.
Here is a trailer to Psychonauts which is a brillant game.
I tried to play Jak & Daxter on my PS3 but it kept on crashing which sucked but will try again later on.
Its nice to play old games every now and then.
I started to watch Monty Python and The Holy Grail for the first time and I think it is a brillant film. Why didnt I watch it years ago its totally brillant. I love the Black Knight sketch which is really funny and I have found the clip.
Little Big Planet...... I love this game, it is totally brillant. It is one of the best games I have on the Playstation 3. The graphics are wonderful and it is really funny to play. I found out that Stephen Fry does do the voice-overs of the narrator.
BUY LITTLE BIG PLANET.
OK onto the second topic - Wordley Productions ok I know I said I wasn't interested in doing advert. anyway i wrote to them saying this and they wrote back saying i didn't have to do car ones and said I should read the other scripts and that they wanted me to have a go because they still wanted me to take part. I talked to them on the phone and they gave me a good synposis of what they wanted and I decided to take part. I did a few and sent them off. They said they like them and told me a few other youtubers are doing some as well. I've sent off all the paper work this morning. If nothing comes of it's a new experience and I never thought I would have opportunity to take part in a commercial.
I got the Monty Python boxset this morning HOORAY, my mum said I would have to wait until my birthday and I told her ---
Right Im off now to watch Monty Python's Flying Circus Series/Season 1, I heard its got the famous Lumberjack song in this series/season.
Bye Guys, have a good weekend, next blog entry will be next week.
I had a brillant day yesterday with my mate Arron. One of the things we did yesterday was to go and see "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" at the Brighton Odeon Cinema. I was first told about this from Jason Mewes when I went to a convention back in June which was cool. The good thing is that it is outside of the Jay & Silent Bob universe, which they need a rest for a while.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Now the film is written, edited and directed by Kevin Smith. I regard Kevin Smith as one of the greatest filmmakers in this generation. He knows how to write a good story with some offensive remarks without going too far. Kevin Smith is famous for being a Writer, Director and playing Silent Bob in the Jay & Silent Bob Universe. Now I was excited to see this and the same with my mate Arron.
I will admit I had high expectations seeing this film like I said Kevin Smith does things that are incredible and make you want to watch his films.
Here's a short summary of the film "Monroeville, Pennsylvania roommates Zack Brown (Seth Rogen) and Miriam "Miri" Linky (Elizabeth Banks), who've been friends since the first grade, are facing hard times and a mountain of debt. Miri works at the local shopping mall and Zack works at a coffee shop, but they are so inundated with unpaid bills that their water gets turned off right before their high school reunion. At the reunion, Miri attempts to seduce her attractive former schoolmate Bobby Long (Brandon Routh), while Zack strikes up a conversation with Brandon St. Randy (Justin Long), who reveals that he is a gay porn star, as is his boyfriend Bobby Long.
After returning home from the reunion, the apartment's electricity is turned off. Inspired by both the cultural mainstreaming of porn and the successful viral video that a coffee shop patron shot of Miri in a state of undress, Zack convinces Miri to film a pornographic movie together to make money.
Gathering a group of acquaintances and hired crew, they decide to film a Star Wars parody film called Star Whores. Their coworker, Delaney (Craig Robinson), who is made the producer, initially rents filming equipment and a building to use as a studio. But when they return the next day to begin filming, the group arrives to see the building being demolished, along with the equipment inside. They are told that that the man that rented it to them had run off with the money. Remembering that their boss threatened to install hidden video surveillance, Zack finds it to replace their lost filming equipment. Zack decides to instead film a new movie, Swallow My Cockuccino at the shop using the surveillance camera."
Now does the film push the envelope and the answer is Yes. Kevin Smith can create some of the most grossest scenes in a film but make them really funny for you to watch. Now the traditional lots of cursing is included in the film. I felt the performances of the whole cast were really cool especially Seth Rogen playing Zack who comes with some of the funniest lines plus Craig Robinson who played Delaney was a legend which I could stop at his characters approach on different people.
Jason Mewes (Who is known to play as Jay) and Jeff Anderson (Known to play Randall in Clerks 1 & 2 and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back) are also included to play parts which is cool. To me they didnt play the strongest characters in the film but it is good to see them in this film.
Now it had a really solid beginning which I mentioned in the Italics above which I found really funny and one of the brightest points within the film. This gives the main character ideas to do the porno in the first place. I felt it had a really good plot for the film not the best storyline that Kevin has written but it was really good.
Ok the bad points were that at times I felt the film had strayed a bit especially at the end of the film. It was trying to create what happened in Clerks 2 but slightly different. There were a couple of times I wanted to get sick but luckily though I didnt.
There is a bit of Nudity both Male and Female Nudity so it is mixed.
I felt the film was really good but I felt the ending was a bit rushed but it was well done.
I would give the film 4 stars out of 5. It was lot better than Jersey Girl the other film that was outside the Jay & Silent Bob Universe.
Cheap places to find Cheap DVDs, CDs and Games without using E-Bay.
Now I had a few friends asking where I do get stuff from cheap without using E-Bay, now Arron introduced me to these sites years ago. Now I will say they are UK sites sadly.
You can search for anything and compare prices from many different stores including Amazon, HMV, Zavvi, GAME and many more. Its totally brillant.
I know there are other sites where you can get American, Canadaian or other currencies but not so sure at the moment.
FINALLY
EARLY BIRTHDAY PRESENT - MONTY PHYTON COLLECTION
OK I was talking about Monty Phyton in my last entry, now I wanted to get the whole collection, now my parents have decided to give me an birthday present which is the MONTY PHYTON MEGA BOX.
Its because I dont have much money and I need it for christmas presents.
Take it easy for now.
Today I will start playing Little Big Planet hopefully if I get the chance, who knows.
Hooray Little Big Planet has come through the post which is fantastic and brillant.
I will start playing it later today once I have finished the day with my mate Arron. He hasnt answered his phone but I hope he will later on.
Right Little Big Planet has been a big talk for months saying its one of the best games to come out on the Playstation 3. Now there is a lot of press on the game which is really cool. The other month it ran into problems because it had music that linked to the Q'uran. So good news is that it didn't delay for a while. So I will be playing it later on.
Now on the agenda Doctor Who Series 4 came yesterday which is brillant, I got it for £2.50 which is awesome. Thank goodness for the 50 pound gift voucher when I took part in a forum back in June and used it for Doctor Who Series 4.
My favourite episodes of Series 4 were The Silence In The Library, Forest of The Dead, Midnight, Stolen Earth and Journey's End. The Worst Episode was The Unicorn and The Wasp (Which it is also Alex Day's worst episode as well) Bring on the Christmas special indeed.
Next I am so glad that Monty Python has a Youtube Channel now. It got featured on the front page that they are sick and tired of people uploading clips onto the Youtube. Glad now it has its own channel Hooray.
This is a sketch called "The Lumberjack Song from the Hollywood Bowl"
My other favourite is the "Ministry of Silly Walks" which John Cleese used later on in Fawlty Towers Episode "The Germans"
It is what the Mighty Boosh could be if it was done in Sketches form and if it had canned/audience laughter.
MONTHY PHYTON FTW.
I cant stop watching this clip from Westwood TV where Tim Westwood scores a goal and loses his shoe in the process.
I went to the Dogs Home In Shoreham today which was really cool. It made me want to get a dog. They all look really awesome to own. Hooray.
Jack Russell could be an option to get, I love them.
OK I can explain about Wordley Productions that I got an e-mail from a week ago about them putting me in a commerical. Now last Thursday I got an e-mail from Stephen who works for Wordley Productions telling me that they saw my UK Featured video and asked me if I wanted to do a clip to promote Confused.com. I asked for more information, then six days later Stephen got back to me with a sample script and found out it to do a commerical for Car Insurance which I found surprising. I have decided not to do it because 1) I dont have a car 2) I dont Drive and 3) I dont care about Car Insurance.
OK Mhazz had put her twitter yesterday that she liked the Beach Boys and put down as reply to her that I never heard of the Beach Boys. Now this is caused an uproar on Twitter which I found really funny and I am being Truthful when I say this "I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE BEACH BOYS" sorry for the caps but I am being truthful.
Now Dave from Blue Skies was really surprised by me saying that. Mhazz went and said :0 (x 12) as a reply meaning surprised/shocked. Now lucky though Dave From Blue Skies, Beth and Rosc shown me some videos of the beach boys.
Dave also gave a message within his tweet to me which I found brillant which said "it's also a message from youtube, to you!" which was really sweet and I understood what he meant with the song.
The Beach Boys - God Onlys Knows (Brian sings lead) - This is a great song
Then Beth showed me a song that I thought the Monkees sang instead of the Beach Boys. Its called Surfing USA
Now Rosc showed a song which I heard for the first time this morning. Its called Wouldn't It Be Nice.
OK I heard of the Beach Boys Now OK. Not a big fan to be honest but I like the track that Dave send me over twitter. Thanks guys for teaching me the history of the Beach Boys.
OH YES Kevin Smith is a God for real, I know this is an old video but he deals with this hater really well.
The question the large breasted man asks is:
"Do you ever plan on making an original movie without rehashing any of your old characters that doesn't suck?"
and see how Kevin responds it is classic.
Kevin Smith is a genius at filmmaking, writing and doing speeches. One of the finest people I have ever seen.
OK Finally I woke up this morning and I was checking on the statistics and data for my latest video "Barry Asks (6)" and I looked in shock that I have been featured in Australia, Canada and New Zealand Youtube Front Pages.
OH MY GOD?? I was just recovering from my UK Feature and now I got this. Unbelieveable. I never thought this would happen either. The good news is that I aint got any hate comment accept for one for this triple feature. So that makes it 4 front page features. I never thought I would get featured again this quickly and especially outside of the UK. I dont think it do as well as the "Why Did I Join Youtube?" Video but it doesnt matter. Im glad to get featured again really quickly. Thanks for the nice comments if you left one.
How is everyone? Im good today, this is going to be a long post just to warn you.
Now at the moment I am watching some old Top Gear stuff which is really awesome. I got quite a few DVDs which include looking into flashy cars and the guys doing challenges. At the moment Im watching them doing the Winter Olympics they did back in 2006, its a special episode which had them doing special challenges which is one of my favourite dvds. The only problem was that it only goes on for an hour but it aint about how long it goes on for, its about how the hour is done and its really well done.
Now one of my favourite segments of Top Gears was Caravan Conkers which so funny and brillant here's a video - Top Gear - Caravan Conkers
Plus I love this lap done by Ian Wright, its so funny
Now I am proud of the latest youtube video I had uploaded about what was your first subscription on Youtube. Mine was Littlekuriboh like I said in the video he does Yu-Gi Oh parody episodes which are the funniest thing I have seen on the Internet its truly brillant stuff. Sadly his account got suspended last summer, but I know he has a secret channel on Youtube but I will not tell you.
Good News is before Littlekuriboh lost his channel, he created a website for the Series - Yu-Gi Oh: The Abridged Series
Heres my favourite and first episode I ever watched of the series (Episode 14)
Right onto the final part of this entry and its about my experience within Youtube. On the 20th of November 2008 it will be my 1st Youtube Birthday with the BarryAldridge account and some of you will know I have been on Youtube for a lot longer if I knew Littlekuriboh account because it got suspended two months before I started it. Anyway Im quite surprised with what I have achieved with the first year of the BarryAldridge account.
1) I never thought that Channel Recommendations would be a success to people, I thought it was going to fuck up in my face. People like them and they want a recommendation which is incredible 2) I thought the gathering I held last Christmas was going to be hard and it was but glad I did it. I wanted to commit suicide days after and I dont know why. But at least I dealt with the situation in my own way. 3) I never thought I would go to different places within the UK which include Manchester and Bristol for gatherings which they both went really well. 4) I never thought I would take part in a Talk With Dave on BBC's Upstaged which I thought it was a practical joke at first setup by the BBC but it was real. I saw the final interview and thought it was really funny 15 minutes after I done it. 5) I never thought I would go to the Youstage Gathering for a day and have some fun. 6) I never thought I would worry others back at Youstage when I slept in a hammock for a couple of hours then first people I saw was Laura (Laurbubble) and Tom (Randomprodinc) 7) I never thought I would reach a 1000 subscribers and become a Youtube Partner on the same day back in May. 8) I never thought that my RUN-DMC dancing to "Its Tricky" would catch on to people and find it funny. 9) I never thought I would be chatting to people on Skype, Stickam and MSN. 10) I never thought I could cause a storm with my "Barry Aldridge Secrets" Video and people finding it funny. 11) I never thought I would enjoy being happy at certain times when chatting to youtubers like Blade376 on Stickam. 12) I never thought that youtubers like Charlieissocoollike, Vlogbrothers, CorporalCadet etc would like my videos that I post on Youtube. 13) I never thought I would get to 2000 subscribers a month before my first anniversary of the BarryAldridge account 13) I never thought I would get onto the front page of UK Youtube for my video "Why Did I Join Youtube?" 14) I never thought I could friends with a lot of people within the Internet because I have trouble making friends in the past. 15) I never thought I would have a Barry Aldridge Drinking Game invented at all. The game was invented by Froghandi. Thanks Rory. Even though I dont drink at all. 16) I never thought I would do a review of Alex Day's EP Nermaina and people actually liking the review plus Alex sending me a facebook comment saying thanks. 17) Finally I never thought I would last longer than 6 months with my BarryAldridge account on Youtube.
Now after the 20th I will be doing a video to explain what I may do for the future and thinking about life in general which is the idea. I am going down a bit of serious route lately on my Youtube videos, I feel sillyness can be fun as well but sometimes if you are trying to do some variety stuff you need to have a balance otherwise you are stuck doing the same thing all the time. I think you should the sillyness when you are best happy and not when you are down and out.
I watched a video the other day from DigitilSoul who talked about Satisfaction. I will say the video is 8 minutes long but I believe this stuff to be true.
He made a lot of sense, that you know you have to be happy if you want to achieve your best. He also mentions that things do change and you have to be happy. He is very happy with his life and I feel I should be in that situation now. He said its best to achieve what you can. Its best to focus on what you are doing. He made sense that its best to focus on number 1 without leaving your mark.
He believes that there are people like Renetto, Blunty3000 started Youtube. He knows that Youtube will change that at one point that. One minute that it could be Smosh on top then suddenly people would rather watch Fred. Things dont stay the same forever and I think its best to focus on your own goals
I agree with him that you will not be remembered for years to come. I dont want to be remembered in the future. I rather when I die that I am a whisper in the wind, I think if I become famous I would be crashed and my spirit would be destroyed so I am glad that I aint in that position. I know some of you would be thinking Im talking shit but years ago I would love the fame but nowadays I'm glad that I made myself happy, I made my family with the achievements and I made my friends happy with the things I am doing either on the Internet or IRL.
I will do a video focusing on this and maybe a bit more.
God I love randomness on the Internet. I think randonmess is always cool on the Internet. Its because I watched a video from JohnnyDurham19. Hes one of my favourite youtubers.
He did something that was totally random. Check it out
Turned out he responded to the Disneykid1, as he did this.
Thats what makes me love the Internet. Its totally Indepedent and you can do whatever you want. It reminds me of the Mighty Boosh the comedy show which goes over the top with its randomness. Randomness FTW.
I know the new Bond film came out over a week and I have been listening to the Old James Bond Themes over the last couple of days including Licence to Kill by Gladys Knight which is my favourite one.
Licence To Kill aint my favourite Bond film its actually between Goldfinger (1964) and Live And Let Die (1973). I also liked The Spy Loved Me.
I got some good news that JoJo (JCtotheG) got her Youtube T-shirt yesterday morning for winning the competition I held a month ago. I was told that she was happy about getting it and wore it into town which was great news. YEAH made me happy.
Im nearly finished watching 3rd Rock From The Sun and It made me think that everything has to come to an end one day. Everything cant stay the same forever, life has to go on. You cant stay in the position all the time otherwise it gets boring. I mean I wont be staying on Youtube forever for example. I am having fun but I remember talking with Charles (Babarouge/CautionWetPaint) and we were chatting about Myspace, Youtube and other media promotion websites. I remember chatting about Myspace where it has died out because of big record companies taking over. Now we were talking about Youtube and we know that it eventually disappear but will take longer than Myspace but who knows it may last longer than I think and I hope so.
For people who think that everything will remain the same in life generally sadly everything does change in life, we have different politicans.
But I will say Im hoping to keep going with Youtube and have fun in the process which I'm hoping will never end, so Heres hoping YEAH.
Oh yeah I know I said that Twitter is fun a while ago but it has become very distracting.
Finally A Music video that I really like from Ne-Yo its a bit old but really good.
OK while I am watching 3rd Rock From The Sun, it made me think about starting my own website, which I am doing a notepad with basic ideas on how to construct my website with the front page then leading into other links that also includes my Youtube Page.
The Pages included so far
- Index (Front Page) - C.V. Page - About Me/Biography - Other Work - Links - Interests - Youtube Experience - FAQ
Links to other pages - Youtube Page - Stickam Page - Facebook Profile Page - Myspace Page - Blog Pages
These are just early ideas at the moment. Im working on my notepad to come out with how to put out the pages. I got the front page design sorted as a first draft and the same with the CV. The other pages are coming soon. Im so glad I did Web Design back in university.
OK for people who dont know my Twitter and who are new to reading my blog
I received this e-mail from someone called Wordley Productions. Has anyone else had one? Bit Strange but will keep you informed if anything comes of it.
Im really digging 3rd Rock from the Sun, I can not believe how good that show really is. Its one of the funniest sitcoms. I love how the main characters are Aliens just exploring Earth and then they get used to Earth and decide to stay to do some silly antics.
HOORAY Barack Obama has won the election. I think this is a great day, that true politics is now placed in. Well done this is possibly be one of the greatest days ever. I think anything is possible in this world, if you want to achieve it and thats what it should be.
I wish it was the same over here in the UK where we dont have politicans who aint passionative about their beliefs. I have to agree that one day I would have to go out vote because then I would show an interest at the moment, it doesnt seem to go that way SHAME. But I will vote in the next general election over here no matter what, its really important, I think my family are right about this and I should show interest in it. So for the next prime minister I would vote depending on what they believe in and how they feel on certain things like Economy, war on Iraq and other stuff.
I thought that Dave's blog yesterday made perfect sense about any political situation. So Well done Musicfromblueskies.
I was quite surprised that Mhazz did an entry titled my full name the other day thats all I am going to say on that subject.
OK I was really excited the other day when I got the invite to go to Ians Party which was a big hooray, now there is a problem, I was checking on the train engineering works on where I live and the route between Littlehampton and Chichester which is a key to get to Southampton Central, which sucks though. Trying to find a way around it, now they have a replacement bus going from Littlehampton to Chichester but I saw it could take 45 minutes which really pisses me off. Not sure but will get back to you on that. Hopefully I can who knows. Have to give Ian a ring nearer the time.
Well good news I may do a video today because I am now off the front page which is good. I thought it would be better to do one once it had gone off to show that I aint on youtube for the glory but to show that I am doing it for fun. So there could be one today YEAH if Im in the right mood.
TTFN
Edited (11:30am GMT) - OK I tried to do a video this morning but the idea didnt come out right.
I HAVE CHOSEN A WINNER to Obama Llama Happy Dance Competition. The Winner has been notifyed by Youtube Private Messaging. I may leave a comment just in case because the Youtube Private messanging really sucks lately.
OK Some of you are wondering why I done a video for the last couple of weeks is because I want the featured video to calm down and be off the front page, so then I could continue as usual.
The earilest for a new video would be Thursday or Friday. Thinking of an idea to talk about that does include the Obama Llama Competition winner which I am near a decision HOORAY.
Ok the second thing is that I have had some feedback on the Christmas Gathering thing in my last entry and people have said they are up to it. Hooray but haven't reached a decision. If it does happen it will be on the 13th of December.
Oh yeah finally I watched Clerks today it is one of my favourite films of all time because it is totally different and is an indie film which makes it creditable to the audience. I may do a proper review soon.
I was talking to PJ the other week on Skype for a friendly which had Jade as well and he suggested should I do a Christmas Gathering. Well Jade didn't go to one last year. Now I was thinking it would be too soon to the Uncliche Gathering. But the other day I was speaking to Ben1107 on MSN and he thought would you do a Christmas gathering and he said he would come.
Now here's the question and pardon the caps WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE A CHRISTMAS GATHERING in December? If so or not, leave a comment or e-mail me.
RIGHT onto the main blog entry about Sundays.
Now Sundays havent always been a good day to me in the past but I do love sundays nowadays. I see it as a very relaxing and need a day that something different to the rest of the week. I rather have a day that is different to the rest of the week, like saturdays can be different because it is filled with fun but if your a parent you are stuck with very young kids.
Why Im I explaining about sundays because I was reading Dave (Musicfromblueskies) had say (Hope he doesnt mind)
"The first day of the week, or last if you look at it that way, Sunday has become something quite different to the other six. I’m not sure there’s a good enough reason for this. Sometimes it’s nice - the afternoon drinking that I will be missing out on tomorrow is the fault solely of the word ‘drive’ and not of the day, and that can be a very pleasant side to Sundays, especially in the summertime with a BBQ. For some reason it’s acceptable to drink earlier than on other days. But also everything shuts early, if it opens at all. Why? I imagine religion is to blame and that is not a satisfactory explanation for an Atheist who needs a post office. Ah well, I’m sure I’ll get over it. And I do like those Sunday BBQs in the summertime."
I do agree with Dave that religion could something to do why we have sundays in a certain way but Im really glad, otherwise would be the same as the rest of the week. I rather sunday have its own identity. I mean I love going up to London on sundays they are truly awesome because of the times they are open at around noon - 6pm. Now this is to suit people who went out the night before for a party as I went out with my mate the other week til 3am then remembering the clocks went back an hour.
Now Alex Day mentioned in his dairy that he doesn't like the traditional sundays where you cant get post (Which I agree with), cant go to the bakery for food (Which I dont mind) and the travelling early thing can be annoying unless you do it when you have to work in a office in London where you may live 2 hours on the train outside the London.
The reason we need traditional sundays isn't because of religion which Im sort of glad exists but is to help us to get over the previous night before where everyone goes out partying to the next day. Now people will know that I dont drink at all but sometimes I like to go out for a party when I am invited whether it is every week or every once in a while. We need a different day to help you us relax. Now I know sundays can be boring which I agree with but I feel if we get rid of a normal sunday then it would be like any other day, which then I wouldnt know what day it is. I know its dumb I rather have different things happening on a sunday.
I dont think religion will ever disappear at all, it will exist to the end of time sadly. I do believe in God but not in Christainity, Islam and the other religions. I rather Sundays are kept like this even though I know some of you would want sundays to become like the rest of the week especially when it comes to the Public Transport and want to have post on sunday. I rather sundays stay the same, so then it helps the party goers on a saturday night, when they could have lay in for the day and get back on track for monday morning when they go back to work.
Where I live at the moment going to the beach helps me out a lot on a sunday which is awesome to help think about life in general.
Sundays ftw.
OK I took part in an excellent collboration for 3sixty5days to do with Halloween. Its brillant.
Its a brillant piece.
Oh yeah it was also put on singtillidrop's channel but the ending of it was very different.
I do have a funny feeling that 3sixty5days and Mhazz are get together one day, dont ask why???. I have that feeling. Oh Yes Mhazz I saw a comment on yours on Daves blog where you said I born closer to the 70s, blooming cheek. <3 Mhazz.
Bye for now
Oh yeah check out the one below on the Obama Llama Competition Videos.
This is just me saying that I had a competition over October to the person who could do the best Obama Llama Happy Dance to the Obama Llama song.
Now here are the entries

I have to say they are all really good to see. They are all different and unique in their own way. I can not decide at the moment. The Winner will be getting the T-Shirt which is a youtube one. I will do a video on Friday to announce the winner. Hooray.
I have been thinking about the future for a bit. Things can change with me time to time. Now I feel that sometimes if you think of the future, things dont turn out as planned. One tiny little thing can change the whole day in a nutshell. I mean when I did my last video and had a sort of plan for the next video then once something big, it could change your idea. I mean I aint going to be doing a video for a bit until my last one has calmed down. Some of people are thinking that I maybe upset over the hater comments on my video but to be honest, they are more of a laugh and not even thinking about answering them back because it would add more fuel to the fire and thats what they want, so thats not going to happen.
New video will come once I feel ready and once the feature thing has calmed down to minimium which could be a week at least. Which by then I will have forgot about it and do my usual schedule hopefully.
The future is still bright. Im really excited and who knows but I want to find a job which I do find one, it may stop me doing videos on a regular basis which is both good and bad, depending on how I feel.
Ian is going to be hosting a party next week which I am 50/50 on about going it depends on money and other stuff going on. Getting to Southampton would be easy as Tom and Ian have said they could pick up at Southampton Central Station to head Winchester but I will tell them at least 2 days before if I can make it.
Now I have been watching a lot of films lately which is really cool. Wallace & Gromit, Clerks II and can not remember what else but its all good. Films help you to calm down, when you are feeling blue. Plus sitcoms do the trick as well.
OK Finally some of you will be shocked about this, I went back to the Hooking Up Channel you know the programme that is using youtube stars like Sxephill, Kevjumba, WhatTheBuck, Nalts and others in a sort of HBO programme. I am actually starting to like it, It gets better in the later episodes. Shocking isn't it. I have become a fan of Sxephill which will shock some of you. So I will be watching more of Hooking Up in the future.
Now there are times I dont like Youtube for what they feature some of the time but todays one is really good and really funny to watch. Its basically a 1930s type advert taking the mick out of George Foreman's Lean Mean BBQ Machine and its done brillantly. Well it got featured in the UK.
Now I dont normally talk about TV Show stories that have appeared in the media, but I thought I may share with you my opinion.
To be honest I am glad that David Tennant, Now before you say that I hated David Tennant, I loved him as the doctor, he was brillant to watch and had a certain charm to him. But I felt it was time for him to leave the show without him becoming a typecast, because he is a fantastic actor that can play many different types of role in the field. Now if he stayed on, he may only be remembered to do Doctor Who. I want to see him do other plays and television shows and admire him as a brillant actor for so many roles than the Doctor.
OK I was reading Alex Day's dairy where I agree with him that it ruins the surprise but The BBC and the media have been ruining surprises on who's leaving and who's coming on Doctor Who for years and years even before its return back in 2005. I think the public see the show as the saviour of television, which I see a lot of it probably 90% of it as crap. I remember years ago when the media ruined the last episode of Friends for each series and I was going mad like a lunatic.
I think the media would think that by spoiling shows they would have get some interest from the public to buy their papers or look at their web sites. Each company wants to be successful and dont care about the consequences. They want the audience so bad, that they would act like whores on the Internet to get interest from the public. With that they dont care about ruining surprises.
Anyway going back to Doctor Who, Now I foresaw this because of Stephen Moffat taking over the running of Doctor Who, now in the past, when someone takes on the Executive Producer they want to do the show in their own way not by the precessdor who came before him/her. I knew a new Doctor would be placed. I think this is an excellent direction to show it going different ways as it could get a lot more darker or more funnier because Stephen Moffat is a master at doing them type of stories.
Its weird I did a short blog entry last time, it was because I was having so much fun that made me want to enjoy the fun of the day where my Mate Arron's family had arrived for a special Sunday dinner to celebrate Arrons birthday.
Anyway onto the three day thing.
Saturday (25th October 2007)
My brother Roger had come down to see me where I live and I couldn't go to the gathering at the London Eye. I heard some mixed reactions but I had something else going on, where the night before, I told people on my mobile that I couldn't come. Anyway my brother arrived at half 9 to 10 o'clock which was really early. I was glad to see Roger, we were sorting out stuff then we moved onto the Nintendo Wii, where we played Wii Sports for a couple of hours. There was a decision where we were going to go to either Brighton or Worthing. We decided to go to Worthing and it was a good day I was able to get the Young Ones on DVD.
The Young Ones is really good sitcom which was shown in 1982 & 1984. I felt the second series was better than the first but anyway I'm going off track. After buying the DVD Box Set, I went to the pub in Worthing with them to discuss about many different topics including Religion, Politics, Television and the future of the world. It was really good to be with my mum and brother and we had to sort out some stuff including my brothers birthday and Christmas. Anyway I had to head back home to watch the DVD and chill out for a few hours before heading off to Croydon to see Arron for his birthday.
Now during while I was on the train I had been thinking about my future a bit, where I feel like I have done shit for a while and felt the Internet was starting destroy me at the time, I felt that my real life was going great again. I got up to Croydon at around half 10 and met up with Arron, his work pals and his school mates at the George in Croydon. We stayed there until half 12 where we went off to Tiger Tiger. Now Arron was really worried that we wouldn't get in the club because of my trainers but we got in YES.
We stayed there until 3am (after the clocks have gone back) and we headed back to Arron's place. His mates headed back home and I stayed over at Arron's for the night. During the walk back to my mates place I had a thought that I may quit Youtube because I felt there was so much drama and bullshit going on that I couldn't take it anymore. (Sorry to go Emo but thats the truth)
Sunday (26th Of October 2008)
After 4 hours sleep we got both got up and I met Arron's Dad for the first time. We both felt really good, It was Arron's Birthday YES. We decided to head back to Croydon around 11 o'clock to see whats about. Arron kept going on about Fable II the game for the Xbox 360. We looked around a really cold Croydon and I was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday because I didnt bring along any other. OK We had to avoid food in general but we gave in at the end with these Milkshakes that were done using sweets, we had Maltersers Milkshakes. Around 1 o'clock we decided to head back to Arron's place for some tea.
It was about 4 o'clock and I had met up with all of Arron's family for tea and it reminded me of Christmas because how the dinner was set up, which is really awesome. Best thing that happened was a number of different discussions could make it into a sitcom which is really awesome. It was that brillant.
Now around dinner Arron's family and myself gave him his birthday presents, his family got him a Sony camera which looked really awesome.
OK I got him a Football Money Box and the Spaced Collectors Edition DVD.
Hey Guys.
I was speaking to Alan and I told him that he got spotlighted in the Gaming section of UK Youtube for a video that was really good about Biggest Let Down Game that he played.
Here's the video
It was really cool but I had to get going to Bromley to a pub I cant remember my name. Met up with Arron's friend Chris from his old job and they spent the night drinking while I had some coke and then J20 to drink. I had some KFC. KFC is always awesome. OK we were on the way home and Arron was really drunk and I was designated driver in a certain sense. On the bus Arron threw up in his mouth and couldn't speak until we got off the bus so I couldn't understand what he was saying. Once we got off the bus he threw up. We went to bed and his cats kept on at me and couldn't get any sleep.
Monday (27th of October 2008)
I woke up after only 4 hours which sucked worst than the previous day which we went to bed eariler. OK I had weird feelings like I was so tired where the back of my mind was saying, "Something good is going happen" like a vision, I know its crazy. I sometimes feel like I can see the future or sort know what happens I don't know. We decided to head to Mcdonalds for breakfast. Now Arron was still sick and needed some breakfast badly. So we had our breakfast and then headed off to Croydon for a couple of hours and then decided to head home. My mum was surprised I got back home early than originally planned. Now I went to the bath because I had wore the same clothes for three days running. So after a bath I went upstairs to my room. Checking on some stuff.
I was checking through my e-mail and had a couple of comments for my last video "Why Did I Join Youtube?", someone left a comment saying "congrats on the feature" and I went WHAT???, so I went to the video and checked the stats and it said I got Featured.
FEATURED. I SHOUT "YES YES YES YES YES" like a football fan who had seen his team score a brillant goal. Checked the front page of UK Youtube and I GOT FEATURED. I was surprised and shocked, never expected it at all. You have to go to my youtube channel if you ain't seen the video. I am proud of the video but never expected it to get featured. I got Skype messages and text messages from people to say congrats on the feature (Thanks Guys)
Now going out to dinner with my family. I was telling them about my weekend and what happened on youtube earlier that day. I did go to the beach near me before the dinner to reflect on my life. I had achieved all of my goals with Youtube but I will stay on the site because I love it to be honest. Its brilliant.
Anyway the dinner went well and the chat with my family went really well. It was nice to be back home to see my family again.
That's all I got on the three days that I can remember for a very long time.
Hey Guys. Im chilling at my mate Arrons place for his birthday. I arrived in East Croydon on Saturday Night which I am glad I went. It was one of the best things I have done so far.
OK I couldn't go to the gathering on yesterday which kinda sucked but like I said Family comes first then friends I have known for a while.
I have been thinking about my future?????
EDIT - 4PM (GMT) I had gone Twitter mad this afternoon which is very unusual for me to do.
Aint it funny I had a few saturdays with nothing much and I was able to do my own thing and I was really looking forward to the gathering on saturday organised by Chris Lomas then suddenly this thing drops on me out of nowhere.
I heard that my brother is coming down to see me for the day. Now I havent seen him in ages. Last time was the stag night party for his mate. Now Im torn between online friends and family. I consider family to be more important because there is real love and nothing fake.
Anyway I may be able to meet with my mate Arron for his birthday in the evening because I will be travelling with my brother up to Croydon.
Anyone going to the gathering have a great time, cant wait to see the videos.
This is my first proper post for the Myboxxcollective. I like with Jazza am really proud doing this post.
This was something I really wanted to get off my chest for a long time. I had enough of the media attacking computer games for them being violent and turning children into muggers.
I believe it is more to do with someones upbringing than what they see on TV and play on their Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii or Playstation 3.
This was something I worked on for my university thesis which I found very little evidence to find a common factor between real life and computer game violence.
OK Guys I havent done a blog in the last few days which only one or two of you would find really wierd. To be honest I am happy not to do a blog every day because nothing really exciting happens every day. I do wish that something happens everyday.
But anyway here it is. Life can be full of promises, hopes and dreams which I believe to be true. You got to seize the moment otherwise it will fall out of your arms and go to someone else. So if you got something going for you, LIVE FOR THE MOMENT.
Hopefully I will get it done today WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
OK I would like to end the video with a Brillant and possiblity my Favourite Ginger Chris (Cowinparachute) video of all time where he talks about continunity announcers. Yes.
Ginger Chris has one of the best blogs I have ever read.
Now I went up to London with my mate Arron yesterday to check all over Central London and it is one of the best days I ever had in a long time.
OK the day started really badly with trains being delayed a bit which kinda suck but the rest of the day turned out to be awesome.
I met up with Arron in East Croydon and I got so much love for East Croydon as well its brillant to chill at as well. Then we decided to head up to London on the way to London Victoria.
We looked around a lot of different stores
1) DVDs and GAME Stores 2) Guitar places in Denmark Street 3) Forbidden Planet/Hamleys in Regent St 4) Nike Town in Oxford Circus 5) Lilywhites in Piccadilly Circus
IT WAS THE BEST DAY I EVER HAD IN A LONG TIME.
Now I was able to start my shopping for christmas really early which I got some stuff for My Dad and my brother. I was able to get something for Arron's birthday which he was with me but he dont mind this gift at all. We find it really difficult to find something for each other whether it is birthday or christmas.
OK the only thing I will mention that I bought was an Irish Football shirt from Lilywhites for a fiver which was a shocker because I had been looking for one for ages. I was so pleased to get one.
After the great day we went back to Croydon to see the England game, which ended really well and finished 3-1.
BRILLANT DAY. Arron is one of my best friends YES.
OK I had a brillant morning which turned out to be better than I really thought.
Had a good meeting at the Job Centre where I am going to get some extra help from someone at IRLB which turned to be an excellent appointment.
I went to Worthing and bought a few items today which were a couple of DVDs (Adulthood & Al Murray's Happy Hour Series 1) and Burnout Paradise on the Playstation 3. I played the game and thought it is a really good game that I may play on for hours in the long run, which is cool
Adulthood is the sequel to a film called Kidulthood which was released Indepedently back in 2006. The concept came from Noel Clarke (Mickey From Doctor Who),
The first film (Kidulthood) was about some kids who have the day off school because someone commited suicide the day before and its about how the kids do their day and experiences which lead to them going around Central London for the day.
Heres a trailer to Kidulthood
Now the second film (Adulthood) takes place straight after the first film which has one of the main characters is trying to change but I wont tell you because you have to watch Kidulthood to find out.
OK onto BlogTV Tonight at 9PM GMT which I will be on at.
I got a list of what to talk about tonight
1) Friends (TV Series) 2) Friends comparing to British Sitcoms 3) Youtube Gathering on October 25th (London) 4) British Cinema/Worldwide Films 5) Randomness 6) BlogTV & Stickam 7) Questions
Just this morning I have finished watching all of the Friends DVDs from Series 1 to 10, which it took 9 days to watch. Dont worry I had food and drink during the process, It was brillant watching this again. Even though it ended 4 years ago it feels a lot longer but it was 4 years ago that the show had ended.
Friends is one of my favourite sitcoms that also include Scrubs, Fawlty Towers and Only Fools & Horses.
You have to watch Friends it is totally brillant. Although I feel the later series (Especially Nine & Ten were ok but didnt have an impact like the eariler ones)
OK at the moment Im editing a new vlog instead of doing a video about Autism which could take me a long time to explain about it but I have already done it on my blog.
This week I maybe busy to update you every day. Im going to be at the Job Centre quite a bit and seeing my mate.
Hey Everyone I thought I will finish off talking about my autism
One thing I have problems with is reading other people actions. It taken me a long time to realise people don’t mean what they say, that you have to look at body language, their expressions. People call it reading between the lines I think. I know most women think men never do this. When I was younger I was involved in research on the theory of mind at the at the Maudsley hospital. This was done with Simon Baron Cohen. I went twice a week we did games and role play. They tried to teach me that others don’t know what I’m thinking, what I feel they don’t feel what I know other don’t. It helped a bit but still found it hard to learn from experiences.
The internet has helped me by the encounters I had. Like some people I thought of as friends are not, that people don’t always mean what they say . I know some people see me as an easy target but I’m not stupid. I just think differently I try to see the best in people until they do something to change my mind.
Now I was going to do a video about it but it could take sometime to get research together. So It could be a while if I do a video about Autism.
Oh yeah Friends Update - Im up to the final series of the show. Just another 10 episodes to go.
I am really proud of the Autism blog I did yesterday there is going to be another part and that will be it. Its like digging a hole into the ground and finding a treasure chest, (OK Bad metaphor) but its like finding something good.
OK I took part in a challenge that was set up by Alex Day aka Nerimon called "No Pauses" where you had to an uncut vlog without pausing, erming or other stuff. I thought this was a brillant challenge.
My attempt is over on the video bar if you aint seen it. I only lasted 25 seconds.
Now one of my friends contacted me and said "Barry you said you weren't going to do a video for a while. Why did you do one?" OK there was no reason behind it but I felt like the challenge was something really cool that hasnt been done before.
My next video will defintely be next week, I got two ideas to choose from -
1) Do an update vlog involving either Friends DVDs, John Green Books (Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns)
2) Do a serious video looking at Autism and the charity of NAS (National Autistic Society), It is based on my last blog entry about it.
Although this maybe difficult because next week Im going to busy going to the Job Centre Twice within three days, I maybe meeting up with my pal Arron on the Wednesday.
So it will be either Monday or Friday that I will film either one. Im hoping to do Option Two but who knows.
OK Friends Update - I am up to Series 6 Episode 9 of the show, where Joey, Ross and Monica go to a New Year thing for a TV Show.
This is probably one of the most serious posts I have ever done and one of the most honest blogs I have ever done. Now I'm going to talk about something that I have had my whole life, which I didn't want to in the past.
I have autism which I had mentioned in my Re-Introduction video which was a response to Charlie's Re-Introduction video.
Now Autism is nothing really serious but it affects me in day to day life activity.
I become really obsessed with things in general like lately I have been obsessed with Friends DVDs which once I start watching them then I have to finish them.
I have trouble understand human psychology like I have trouble reading peoples expressions like they may say one thing but their expression may show something different, it is really hard for me to understand human behaviour. Thats why I smile a lot, I dont always get what is going on. It makes me really sad at times.
Like for example I was reading one of my online friends blogs and I thought he was attacking over something within Youtube. Now I thought this was a personal attack and sent the person an e-mail to express my opinions. Now the person replied back saying they were only joking and people leaving comments on his blog knew he was joking.
I have always had problems with language. English is a bit like learning a foreign language to me like I know the words, but its how to express them in every day conversation. Sometimes I don't mean to upset people on MSN, Skype and outside the Internet. Sometimes I may not get what someone is saying especially sarcasm as I would go "WHAT?". Sometimes I feel I need someone to hit me over the head for me to get what they are going on about.
Being on the Internet has really helped me
The main characteristics of Autism according to Wikipedia
"Autism is distinguished by a pattern of symptoms rather than one single symptom. The main characteristics are impairments in social interaction, impairments in communication, restricted interests and repetitive behavior. Other aspects, such as atypical eating, are also common but are not essential for diagnosis. Individual symptoms of autism occur in the general population and appear not to associate highly, without a sharp line separating pathological severity from common traits."
Well for anyone wondering why I aint been online that much lately on either MSN or Skype is because I want to sort out certain aspects within my life which I rather not talk about.
I may get a new computer which will be a Vista one which would piss people who likes Mac but I dont have a Job at the moment, so once I get a Job, one of the first things I will get is a Macbook Pro. I will explain about why not the Macbook Air another time.
Computers are getting really cheaper, I remember a time they were so expensive like a grand for the really old fashioned style computers, thats it.
OK onto the Friends update, Im up to Series 4 and half way through it. It is one of the best shows ever. No more is needed to be said.
OK yesterday I went to NSGs BBQ and it was really awesome. I really like the BBQ that NSG did it was also for Jessicas Birthday as well. Now it was truly awesome. I met up with Benjy, Spencer, Lewis, Chris, Doug, Jessica, Jordan, Tom and Ian.
If I forget anyone but I had a full day yesterday that was really good. I bought along Orange Juice and few bits of food which everyone had. We took the bus to NSGs where we met up with Teoh and Mark. Sophie came later where we were chilling in NSGs back garden for a bit and it was really good, after a while we decided to promote a blogtv show which even I know some of them hate BlogTV with a passion which I can understand, thats their opinion.
Anyway we went to NSGs Studio Bedroom to have some chill and do the blogtv show which I think it was Tom's idea to do a blogtv thing everytime there is a gathering which is a good idea. Even though it aint an original idea I remember Zipster doing with Stickam when he came over to the UK over the summer. But for BlogTV it is a first which I see.
OK after a bit chilling with NSG, I cant remember who came up with the idea but it was a street video of Badman. Which was an excellent idea, NSG thought it was a brillant video. I did as well. Now NSG wont be putting it on his channel. I think Jessica (xbrokenmindedx) will put it on her channel and as soon as put up I will put it in my blog as an extra bit. Hooray.
OK while I was at NSGs my Friends DVD Boxset of every episode ever made came through the post yesterday which is awesome. Im half way through Series (Season) 1 which it is one of my favourite seasons of Friends. I also love series 2, 3 and 4 of Friends. I dont mind series 5 & 6 as they were good at various points. after Series 7 I felt it really suffered but will give them another chance, which I promised to with Lost.
I feel really good today. I haven't felt like this for a while. Yesterday afternoon I added some old friends I used to know back in my secondary school days on Facebook. Now I was like Alex Day aka Nerimon who hated Facebook a year ago because of certain things which I think I mentioned in an entry before. If not I felt that way as well. I think its great that you can find people who you used to know from the past on Facebook. I found a friend on Facebook who is releasing an album soon and that is awesome.
Its really great seeing how people you used to know are doing in their life now. Its brillant I have to say.
OK Its Jessica's (xbrokenmindedx) 18th birthday today and I remembered by looking in Facebook and it said it was her birthday. So I decided to leave a comment on her facebook to say Happy Birthday. Had a quick chat on MSN and felt sorry when she didnt get many cards, so when I see her tomorrow, I will give her a birthday card when I meet her tomorrow. I consider Jessica one of my strongest online friends who I truly like. So cant wait for tomorrow.
Now there is new channel called Hooking Up which has sparked some controversy on the net because it features a few big youtubers teaming up to do a new show and I have to agree with a lot of people that it does leave a bad taste in my mouth. I dont mind Kevjumba because he is cool, not a fan of sxephill accept for the casual vlog he does. I aint a fan of Lonelygirl15 but I think the show is so high valued which I have to say I aint a fan. I wont embed any the episodes for you to suffer through.
Now I saw an advert for a game that is coming out on the Playstation 3 in the next couple of weeks on the 24th of October called Little Big Planet, now this looks really cool. Since the Myboxx blog has sort of stopped I decided to post it on here instead.
Looks so awesome, I can tell you really great stuff to see.
One more thing I going through some of the youtube channels and I found a video from College Humour which I found very hilarious.
Its called Sarah Palin Disney Trailer
They should make this into a film, would be the best thing ever.
Christmas is coming soon again and its only the 2nd of October, good hey. I think everyone would enjoy christmas as kids because it really means something. Now for a period I will admit I hate christmas because I felt it so commericalised and give me give me give me give me, which got me mad at the whole situation. Now recently over the last couple of years I have gotten my love for christmas while ignoring the commericalisation of the holiday.
So remember christmas is a time to be with the ones you really care about.
I'll leave you with a photo of me outside the christmas shop.
OK its strange that I haven't updated my blog for the last few days but it does feel really good. At least to some people it may think I have a life lmao.
OK Sunday I hadn't done much which was ok, just chilled out and thinking about options about what to do which was awesome. Smivadee put on another brillant BlogTV show which was being himself which was awesome. I had a nice walk down to the coastline, I never like to say the word "Beach"
Now on Monday I was talking with my mum about my dancing skills lol. We were having a laugh and I thought of a competition to do a Obama Llama song which I give away my Youtube T-Shirt.
Now I really do like this t-shirt but if you want to give out a prize, it should be something that matters and I always to do a competition. Now if want to know more, I have just added a video bar of my videos which I think is a lot better than embedding the videos yourself.
The second thing I did on Monday finally ordered The Friends boxset (50 quid) Sweet.
OK Tuesday I woke up and my CD of Tom Milsom's Debut album had arrived and it is really sweet to listen to. On the envelope Tom left a heart shape on it next to my name which was really cool. I thought that he does it to everyone which I think is really cool. I had a listen to it and glad I bought it, it is really awesome.
I watched quite a few superhero films yesterday which was awesome. Cats & Dogs, 2 Spiderman Films and Fantastic 4.
Finally Charlie and Alexs BlogTV was really cool. The 7 hour show was cool. The main highlight was Charlie and Alex getting their heads shaven which was really awesome. Im glad they did it. It was for charity people COME ON, its going to grow back. They raised 4 grand in the end for cancer research which was brillant, lots of people donated which some people donate 100 pound which was awesome. I think it was really cool. It has 3000 viewers for the hair cuts and then once they were over it went down to two thirds of that. Which I stayed to the end and felt asleep before the midnight thing and never got to say happy birthday to Charlie but will do on his facebook this morning. Also give congratulations to both Charlie and Alex on the show. I hope they do it again next year or even eariler than that.
OK its Wednesday morning and thinking about the day.
1) May watch more films today lmao, Im a sad bastard. 2) May work on some more music for today, just for fun. 3) Easy one - Say Well done to Charlie and Alex on Facebook for an enjoyable show on BlogTV yesterday. 4) I know this one is a pain but Im stilling looking for a job, IT IS REALLY HARD TO GET ONE at the moment.
OK have a great day. I may write a music entry for Tom Milsom's album in my music blog as my first entry with the introduction.
Bye for now TTFN.
Edit at 9.10am (GMT Or BST whatever)
OK the only thing that upset me yesterday was people putting me into group chats on MSN. I really really dont like them anymore. I find it very difficult and confusing to keep up with the others. Im alright one to one but big groups discussions are really hard for me. Now I kept on saying I was really busy and some people thought I was taking the piss but I really wasn't.
SO PLEASE STOP INCLUDING IN REALLY BIG CHATS. unless it is a small group other than that I dont want to know. Dont ask me on MSN why, I have explained it.
Anyway Like I said above, I did enjoy yesterday apart from that.
