HEY..
So I realise I haven't blogged in.. well.. a while and I apolagise.
Okay so filling you in on recent events, I have a new keyboard (pictured right) which Dylan Kuhlenthal bought me because my old one.. well it was old.
I now also have girlfriend! Yes, me! Which brings us to the topic of this post, which, was suggested by Brandon Townsend.
Hayley, my girlfriend, (you have no idea how much satisfaction saying that brings to a person.. unless you have a girlfriend) lives in 'Australia'. Now you're probably wondering what the inverted commas are for. Yeah she doesn't actually live that far away. She lives in Kidds Beach. Which is still pretty far if you think about it. Have you ever tried walking to Kidds Beach!? If you have you should be in a mental institute coz thats just crazy. Unless you live like a minute away from it.. in which case it would probably not be so bad..
Yeah unfortunately my brain is pretty off right now so thats all I got..
Cheers

An Ideal World..
Hey..
So I'm in AutoCad at the moment at school (yes.. the subject is named after the program), and I've finished drawing my ying yang sign thing (shown left, done on paint) so now I'm blogging.
This morning when I got to school I wanted to buy some cheap sweets from the vending machines but I was 30 cents short so I was like, in an ideal world I'd have that money.. Which brings us to this blog.
So there are a few things that would be different in an ideal world. Firstly, there would be absolutely no self confidence issues and you'd just be able to speak to everyone.
Secondly, when you went to a restaurant the food you see coming towards you would be yours, not the persons next to you..
Thirdly, you'd never be short on cash (well little amounts, like 30 cents..)
Fourth, if you wanted to stay home coz you were feeling sick, you'd get to stay home.
Fifth, when standing in lines at shopping centers, the line you're standing in would move the fastest.
And now what I would classify as the most important point, all those brilliant ideas you have? Yeah in an ideal world you'd actually have the energy and will power to pull them off.
Once again this was brought to you by Shaun Gunton.

A Project from Hell..
Hey..
Before I start this post I would just like to make it clear that this topic was not my own choice. Apparently my turtle post didn't count so this is the second topic I was given. One last thing, no I don't need psychological help (refer to post 'No.. I'm not schizophrenic'). I now begin my post..
I'm gonna start off by giving my definition of a project from hell. I see this as being given a task to do which is deemed impossible by society, examples of this would be things like assassinating a president or getting 100% for a science exam in high school.. these things just aren't done. Okay so I'm gonna say what I would do if faced with one of these situations.. and since i have no hope of getting one hundred percent for anything, I'm gonna go with the assassination route (again I'm not demented, I've just read a lot of crime and investigation books and watched a few movies)
So first thing I'd do is get a knife. But like a proper knife (They make less noise and leave no bullets which can be traced). I'd then find out where the president was situated (and no I would not do it while he was giving a speech because then the whole world would see it and that would just be stupid) hopefully he would be staying in hotel (contrary to popular belief hotel security isn't that difficult to crack once you've figured out workers shifts and stuff). I would then go and buy a suit (if you're going to assassinate a president, do it while looking classy) and check in to the room directly underneath his (no, you don't check in to the one next door, that makes you the prime suspect) and I'd wait till he goes out for his presidential duties and stuff. Once he has left the hotel completely I would take a casual stroll around looking for the head of securities office (cameras are always situated there), check when the guards change shift and then I'd run in and, using the technical skills of Dylan Kuhlenthal (hey look I found a way to put you in) would make the cameras repeat the events of today and then I would continue about my business. The next day, however, the president would once again leave the hotel and I would go into his room and hide in his shower. He would get back from a hard days work and immediately want to wash off, guess where hes gonna do that? Yeah the shower.. Sept he's not getting cleaned hes getting his throat slit by a master assassin.
Hope you enjoyed that (try imagine it as the pinnacle scene in a movie) I really hope I dont get pulled into court or anything when some official dude reads this. But if they do, tighten up hotel security.

Challenge Accepted..
Hey..
I've started a blog war.. with a girl named Bianca Brown (feel honored Miss Brown.. only the elite make it into my blog) and she was saying how my posts have no point so i told her to give me a topic and I'd wright on that. The topic she gave me was a turtle climbing a telephone pole.. so here it is, told in the form of a story.
So there was turtle, and his name was Sheldon. Now Sheldon had been an under achieving turtle his entire life (he's 2 years old). His parents were always saying he should be more like his brother, Terrance (yes I named the turtle Terrance), who was top in class and everything (I know turtles don't go to school but it's a story okay? Bare with me), he was the best sportsman the school had seen in over 5 years and held the record for the 100m sprint (31 minutes and 2 seconds). Sheldon was none of these things. He was bottom of the class in every subject, didn't do sport at all and definitely didn't run. He was told every day though to be more like Terrance, which (on paper) seemed impossible.
Now, although Terrance was the best at almost everything, there was one achievement he had not completed and this haunted him constantly.
It was said that the 'Chosen One', the turtle who would go down in history and be remembered forever, would be the turtle who climbed 'The Pole' (it was a 10 meter high telephone pole) (yes I know turtles don't climb but that was the poor topic I was given). Terrance longed for the title of 'Chosen One' but try as he might he just couldn't climb the pole.. This gave Sheldon an idea, he was finally going to put all the "Why can't you be more like your brother?" chirps to bed for good. He had formulated a plan and that night, while all the turtles in Rapid City were asleep, he quietly walked to 'The Pole' and started climbing. He climbed up 1 meter, then fell.. He got up again though and climbed up 1 and a half meters.. then fell again. At this point he was exhausted so he fetched a liter of petrol and set the pole alight! (That's an example of anti-climax, and I bet none of you predicted that ending)
If there's one thing we strive for here at Hey.. industries (registered trademark) its unpredictability.
Thank you very much for visiting, call again soon (insert creepy air hostess smile)

Nothing to Blog About
Hey..
Today is Saturday, and I'm at my cousins house with him and his girlfriend. They're quite cool.. and they asked me to post something on my blog (this is turning out to be more difficult than I had originally thought it would be.. the space bar on my cousins keyboard doesn't work). Since I had absolutely nothing to blog about, I thought I'd just blog about that (also pretty difficult..)
So while typing this out (a long and tedious process) my cousin suggested I say something about the word 'blog'.. It's quite a weird word phonetically.. like a mixture of bog and log (not a great combination) these words should be stirring your mind to an activity often referred to as 'dropping the kids off at the pool' (that statement comes directly from the mouth of Brandon Townsend) or if you're referring to a 'pre-blog', prairie dogging. It could also describe the noise a stone makes when it hits the water, but it has to be a big stone! If you wanted to use the word blog in the world of food, it would be a dish best served cold with potatoes.. but it would be something like haggis is to the Scotts, except obviously it would come from Croatia (me and Adam Ball are taking over that country pretty soon..) and have a humus-y texture. It would also smell like mothballs and egg salad.
I guess we can be pretty thankful that the word blog actually only means some writing on the internet.
I I now have to leave my cousins house before I get left here for the rest of the winter and starve..
Cheers.

Friday..
Hey..
The last post I did was on Mondays and it was posted the day after Monday. I thought it would be cool to do a post on Fridays the day before Friday.. (it might have been Georgia Webber's idea.. but I'm claiming it)
So, Fridays. Generally the best day of the week for most people, and once again (unlike the rest of the world) tomorrow won't be so great for me. I have to be at school until like 7.. yay.. Any other Friday is without a doubt amazing though! See on Fridays we have thing called SBClive, and on this specific Friday we've got an open mic night! I rate its gonna pretty cool.. I heard Denver Ballentyne is gonna sing for us and I'm thinking about telling a story.. so you should really be there!! It's gonna be insane!
Other than that happening I disagree with Friday being the most loved day.. we still have to go to school and work for the day.. Saturday is where its at! See Saturday can be whatever you want it to be. Society has confused today's people into thinking that Fridays are better because its the beginning of the weekend.. which is weird coz as i mentioned before, we still have to work and stuff.. but I do agree with the fact that Fridays are very welcomed days.
Heres another picture:
Notice the distinct difference between this one and the one I posted about Monday..

Mondays..
Hey..
So yesterday (which was Monday) I was told I hadn't blogged in a while. I then realised this was true. So I was thinking about things to blog about.. The perfect murder came to mind, but i thought that might cause some problems with government officials and stuff.. and psychologists.. So instead I'm gonna blog about Mondays.
Mondays are generally rather depressing, which is why the world hates them.. Including the person who invented them (he is now the worlds most hated man, second only to Bryce Lawrence.. Rugby fans will understand). Anyway on this particular Monday I actually didn't have such a bad day.. which was really really weird. Normally I'm like dead on a Monday.. yesterday was really chilled though. Emma Sandison, (sorry if I spelled your name wrong), like the rest of the world, had a bad Monday.. and asked me to blog about them.. I think I've covered that pretty well.
So here's another picture..

'Teacher X'
Hey..
So reading through my blog I realised the only time I ever mentioned school was when I said I wouldn't post for a while due to exams.. which went really badly just by the way.. so I figured I'd post something about a teacher at my school.
This teacher, as you might have figured out from this post title, is 'Teacher X'. Is this his real name you ask? No, no its not. I decided to call him that so as not to use his real name (lawsuit issues again). Now as intimidating as he might sound.. the name I've given him is very misleading..
He's a teacher at my school (this much should be obvious by now) and he teaches me a subject. This all sounds pretty normal so far. You're now probably asking why I decided to do a post on said 'Teacher X'?? Well be patient all will reveal its self in true time.
So the thing about 'Teacher X' is he gets very sidetracked, very quickly. This is seen as an invitation to the 'less disciplined students' to cause some mischief (yes I did just use that word). Now, although this does curb learning slightly it can be very entertaining.
So the one lesson we're going over aerodynamics and how air moving over a planes wing causes lift and what not and one guy asks 'Teacher X' if hes ever been on a plane.. Mistake on that guys part. 'Teacher X' went on to describe, in lengthy detail I might add, how he flew to Australia (he talks about Australia and New Zealand a lot, makes one wonder) before the 9/11 incident in America and how he knew one of the pilots (he then went on to tell us how he and the pilot had met years ago while they were studying) so he got to take a tour of the cockpit and the front region of the plane. He then told us how he was looking out the bottom of the plane and he could see fields that were burning and how very fascinating this was. After this story he told us he flew the same airline with the same pilot to the same place but because 9/11 had occurred airplane security had heightened and were afraid he might have been a terrorist (if you had met 'Teacher X' and knew what he looked like that would be a lot funnier than what it actually is) so he had to sit in chair for the rest of the flight like a normal passenger. By the time he had finished his story two periods had disappeared along with our lesson.
Anyway, that video I mentioned in my last post is being re-edited by Dylan Kuhlenthal and will soon be ready to upload.
Cheers

A Punch in the Face
Hey..
So today while chilling in class (well technically in the workshop) I heard some one utter the phrase "I'm going to punch you in the face!" And this got me thinking again, what if every threat spoken was carried out?
Like how many times has someone said to you "I'm gonna kill that guy" or "I'm gonna smack you so hard your teeth fall out!" See people say all these things (some with the intention of actually completing the task) out of anger and emotion and stuff and after they've calmed down a bit think about what they've said and realise that they were being really stupid. Some people on the other never actually calm down.. which is where your psychopathic murders come from.
I guess that's all I gotta say for this one. So I'll just post a picture of a guy getting punched in the face..

See, now imagine this happening every time a threat was declared.. We'd have a lot of deformed people..
Sorry if this post isn't as entertaining as the last one.. I've got a video which I'll try upload soon.

Hey..
So the keener eyed blog reading people may be wondering why the title of this post isn't very informative.. Well that's because it's a secret.
Okay so I'm gonna start off by saying sorry for not posting anything in like the past 'insert grossly exaggerated time-span here' and there really is no reason for that.
Now onto my topic.
SKILLET!!
For those of you who don't know Skillet is a Christian rock band.. and also a frying pan.. but in this instance I'm referring to the band.
So the band in question is made up of 5 people.
Lead singer and bass guitarist, John Cooper
Rhythm guitarist, Korey Cooper
Drummer and back up vocalist Jen Ledger
And to be completely honest I don't know tho the rest are at the moment due to people leaving and stuff.. I know there's a lead guitarist, a violin playing guy and a dude that plays the cello.
Now that you have a rough outline of what Skillet is I'm gonna attempt to put their awesomeness into words.
...Hmmm... it seems I cant do that.. I see problems arising..
Okay so lets pretend that they weren't as amazing as they are.. that'll make this a lot easier.. So here goes my attempt at describing Skillets amazing-ness..
You know you get those songs that just make you like jump around or dance and forget about everything else?? Skillets got albums filled with those types of songs, songs that you just end up replaying through out the day and then dreaming about it at night (if you get sleep at night.. lucky people that can sleep)
Like you listen to their music and it makes you feel invincible, like you can never die! You can be amazingly close to death and then suddenly get up and start punching stuff in the face!! This is a feeling which I enjoy..
You could picture their song 'Awake and Alive' as the theme song for the up and coming zombie apocalypse.
Their music brings people back from the dead!! ..Okay so maybe it doesn't.. but when you listen to it that's what you're thinking.
See they're amazing coz they defy like every scientific law and make you feel like you can do the same (I wouldn't recommend trying to break scientific laws.. I can tell you from experience they're set pretty solidly. The old dudes who came up with them knew what they were doing)
So there's my first review of a band Danica Krenski. Hope it lives up to expectations!
Cheers Internet!

Scotland..
Hey..
Okay so first thing I'm gonna do with this post is apolagise for the lack of wit (and anything else for that matter) in my last post. I was bored when I wrote it (due to exams) and the boredom kinda shone through in the post. Now for more mentions (which I really don't understand.. I guess people feel special seeing their name on the internet.. Even if its on some random blog). Carol Olivier (if the surname is spelled wrong its because of it being slightly afrikaans and this entirely your own fault) asked for me to put her name in here after she told me that my robot post was boring. Ironic, don't you think?
Anyway I've had a lot of suggestions on how to 'fix' my blog (yes fix is in those weird single quotation marks because there is actually nothing wrong with my blog at all!) and some of them were actually really good! Danica Krenski's was probably the best one and you'll find out what she suggested in my next post. The subject for this one though was suggested by Steph (I'm not even gonna attempt to spell her surname.. I'm pretty sure its ancient greek.. all you really need to know is that she lives in Joburg) who said i should write about a country that i wanted to go to, and those who know me know I really wanna go to Scotland!
The main reason for this would be Braveheart, which, in my mind, is thee best movie ever!! If you can imagine 300, but slightly more modern and in a Scottish accent (slightly is emphasized a lot in that sentence). Yeah it's kinda like that.
Another reason I really wanna go to Scotland is because of the accent. Have you ever heard an angry Scotsman? Funniest thing ever!
They also throw trees.. Scottish people are real men.. When you can throw a tree like ten meters then I'll consider you manly. Well that or if you're Matt Francis..
On the whole Scotland is a pretty awesome place. They got men, even if they are slightly in skirts.. (that reminds me, go youtube Micheal McIntyre in Edinburgh) they've got the hills and stuff (pretty sure there are more hills in Scotland than there are in the rest of the world combined), they've got the Loch (which is just a weird way of saying lake..). they've got a weird way of saying lake!! You don't get that anywhere else.
Anyway, I still don't have a job.. or any money.. which means I still don't have a guitar.. But on the bright side, the odds of me going to see Switchfoot are increasing!!! Which is very good coz they're still amazing!
This all from me until next time when i decide to take Danica's advice.
Cheers internet.

Robots..
Hey..
So today i got tuned for posting about completely irrelevant stuff and last night while speaking to Brooke Pretorious (I'm sorry, but your surname is slightly afrikaans which means I have no idea how to spell it) and I was complaining about learning and I suggested that robots should learn for us.. So that's what this post is about.
So pictured on the right is Sonny. He's the main character from I-robot, which is the best robot movie ever (Transformers is more aliens than robots). See now if I got a robot it would be one like Sonny! The things got emotions! Now I don't care how human you can a robot look (the answer to that is very!) if it doesn't have emotions its just creepy.
Anyway I really know nothing about robots so this is all for now.
Cheers Chaps

HEY.. again
Hey..
So my last post was entitled 400!! Which was, you know, appropriate because at the time i had 400 page views, and then I go check on it like half an hour later and there's 487! I thought about doing a post called 487 but decided not to.
Anyway, quite a lot of people have spoken to me about this blog and they keep asking me to do a post about them, but I'm not going to do that because if I did it'd be like letting them win.. and that's just not cool. So to keep all those people happy.. Emma Sandison, Georgia Webber, Qhayiya Mashalogu (pretty sure that's spelt wrong so I'm sorry Que) and if any one else asked and i forget then I'm sorry.
Okay so you guys remember Brandon Townsend?? (Yeah he's the weird guy pictured right.. sorry bru was the only photo i could find..) Yeah he said my blog was getting boring.. (which i guess makes sense actually on account of the fact that i write about absolutely nothing..) and he told me to make them more exciting but i actually have no idea how.. so I'm just gonna carry on doing what I always do.
Oh ya. Touch Rugby Tournament in two weekends time (so not this Friday but the next one) at the Selborne Rugby fields hosted by SBClive! It's gonna be a really cool inter-youth thing so get a team together from your youth and be there!! Theres also gonna be like side games organised by Denver Ballentyne. (probably spelt that wrong too) and he's normally pretty good at games and stuff.
Last thing. If you come to SBClive on a Friday night, please comment on this blog )or post on my facebook wall if Blogger gets discriminative and doesn't let you comment stuff) and let me know what kind of music you'd like to hear at youth during the night. We're gonna try out a DJ booth thing so we need music. If you don't come to SBClive.. well then you should come past on Friday nights from 7:30 to like 10:00. Its really cool.
Anyway
That's all from me for now.
Cheers

400!!
Hey..
So i reached 400 page views, which is pretty cool considering the stuff I post is completely irrelevant, but hey I'm not complaining.
On Tuesday my mom decided i needed to go to a career counselor as I didn't know what i wanted to do with my life. So i went for it and discovered that i should be a journalist.. I wonder if journalists can write about completely irrelevant stuff, if they can I've definitely got that job owned!
Anyway, the other day I was asked to be an ambassador for a magazine that's coming out soon. Its called Students Rule Mag, and it seems pretty cool so if i ever ask you to buy a subscription from me, do it! Coz i get like 20% of the money you're paying. Which, for me anyway, is pretty cool.
Other news in my life, I was recently disappointed when a concert in Joburg (Switchfoot, shown right, check them out) which i was planning on going to and being all awesome, got booked on a Wednesday.. during school.. So there's that opportunity gone. Which is pretty depressing, but hey. I'll keep nagging the rents and hopefully they'll eventually give up, pay for the ticket and put me on a bus to Joburg \o/ (that's a celebration face, in case you didn't attend summer camp 2011)
So that's my life since my last post. Also studying is going well and hopefully after exams and holidays and stuff I'll have uploaded my first video! Get keen, it's going to be amazing!

HEY..
Hey..
So as you can see from the title of this post I'm not feeling very creative today, so if this post doesn't live to expectations I'm sorry.
So a week till exams and stuff and strangely I'm not feeling the pressure.. but this probably has a lot to do with me being slightly schizophrenic/bipolar/suicidal (if you don't get that then scroll down to the post "No, I'm not schizophrenic) but hey we'll wait and see what happens.
So anyway I had to wake up at 6:30 this morning to be at church to play bass for some little kids (all of this was Brandon Townsend's idea who, coincidentally, was half an hour late) so I was pretty bleak about that.. but hey it was actually a lot of fun. Filling out forms for a holiday club and making up fake children and all their allergies with Maxine Smith (which actually really funny when you got two witty people.. turns out Robert Karlyle is allergic to eucalyptus.. and your face)
Anyway, brunch has just been made and (for the first time in quite a while) I'm really hungry!! (Adam Ball will know how that is actually pronounced)
Cheers

Georgia Webber
Hey..
Upon reading the title of this post you're more than likely thinking "Okay why?" Well she asked me to put her name in a post and i couldn't think of anywhere to put it, except of course the title. Which is exactly what I did.
So now the subject of this post, which has absolutely nothing to do with the title. I went job hunting today.. I'm still jobless.. which is bad because I really need money (don't you just love these brackets?) (If anyone reading this knows where i can get a decent job please let me know?) coz like guitars and stuff aren't cheap. Probably not the best time to go job hunting.. what with exams happening soon.. damn.. exams..
So while we're on the subject of exams, I'm probably not gonna post anything new until they're over coz apparently I have to learn..
Anyway that's all for now.
Cheers

Against the Grain
HEY..
So today i spent some time with with Dylan Kuhlenthal, or Dyl K... whichever is easier to spell. (Most people opt for the second one) and we were watching some videos that he took with his iPhone 4S (I really want one) and he played them backwards and it was really funny and stuff! Like imagine a mentos and coke reaction happening backwards where the mentos fly out of the bottle and into your hand... yeah thats what happened.
Anyway we got onto the subject of our band, Against the Grain. You may have heard of us.. apparently there's some country band with the same name so if you look up against the grain and find like a piece of corn... that's not us. We've played one gig, Extravaganza at Hudson Park High School (if i can get all the companies and corporate things i name in these blogs to pay me I'll have an iPhone in no time) and that went pretty well (well as far as first gigs go anyway) and now we're kinda just not happening anymore.. So if you have an uncle who just happens to own a record company let me know!!
Also tell people you know to check out this blog. Hopefully in the near future you'll see some pretty hilarious videos staring Brandon Townsend, Adam Ball and Jason Geach. Maybe me and Dyl K as well.
Cheers for now!

Coffee Shop
Hey Blog reading peoples!!
So today I was with this dude named Daniel duPlesis (if I spelled that wrong I'm very sorry Dan) and we went down to the Beachbreak Cafe at Nahoon beach (wonder if i could make them pay me for advertising) for breakfast/lunch, more commonly known as a brunch, and it was really good! Not the point though.
Okay so Beachbreak advertise themselves as a coffee shop/cafe on their menu (I tried to get a picture to prove my point but Google was like no... so i got the picture of the tables instead) which i found really weird, because nowhere in the menu does it actually say the word coffee (okay so it says decaf coffee... but that's decaf so it really doesn't count). I thought about this for a while and then realised that they probably don't put it in their menu because it's on the front of it...
Anyway, enjoy your week peoples!!!

No! I am not schizophrenic!!
Good Evening blog readers.
So firstly I'ma apoalgise for not posting any thing in like 5 months... I have no excuse for this except that the 'P' on my keyboard had broken and i was getting annoyed.
So upon reading the title of this blog you're probably like "yeah, otherwise you'd be in a mental institution"... my mother seems to think differently. On occasion I zone out... we all do it yes? Yeah well my mom caught me zoning once and decided that i needed to see a councilor..
Luckily i persuaded her that Zoning out was a normal thing for teenagers these days. Also, I've been having sleeping problems lately. Nothing major right?? Not if my mother has anything to do about it. She goes on and on about how I'm sounding depressed and suicidal when I complain about lack of sleep.
And no don't worry my family is not dysfunctional. We're actually quite normal. Well apart from my brother... for whom a trip to the psychiatrist probably wouldn't be such a bad thing.. true story.

Guard it with your life!
Hello people who read my blog:)
So apparently my blog has been viewed 53 times or something which is really cool, because i really didn't expect more than 5...
Anyway, today when i was at school in a physics lesson (double period...) I had to borrow a data sheet to make a photo copy because I kinda lost mine and then the person I borrowed it from told me to guard it with my life which got me thinking... whats actually gonna happen to it??
I mean are there some librarians who have been trained in the art of ninja fighting and stuff who are just waiting for notes to be lent to people so that they can steal them and throw them into an archive never to be seen again?? And if that was the case would any of us be able to do anything about it? could you really fight off an of ninja librarians?? Your answer is probably no..
Okay so now I'm going to apologize for writing absolute rubbish, but a new season of Top Gear has just started and i have to go.
Hopefully tomorrow blog will be more than random thoughts spewed all over the internet.
Good night internet, sleep well

Adam Paolo Ball
Hello people of the world that accidentally stumble upon this blog.
So yes, i have started blogging, all thanks for this go to Adam Paolo Ball, affectionately known by me as Pablo (read his blog. adampaoloball@blogspot.com... best blog I've ever read, in all fairness to all other blogs its the only one I've ever read... but that doesn't diminish its awesomeness!
Anyway so since he was the one who inspired me to start blogging i thought my first post should somehow be about him, which is extremely convenient because today the average sized dude got a random SMS saying that he is now eligible for car insurance... weird since he's only 15 and doesn't own a car...
This got em thinking about the random SMSes we get daily. Firstly, who sends them!? Is there some guy who gets paid to send really retarded SMSes? Secondly, where do they get our numbers from?? I swear there's some conspiracy happening where the spam company takes note of every cellphone number and email address that's ever been registered and one day the dude that sends all these things is gonna send some code causing all devices which receive it to come to life and start a revolution.
Think about that next time you receive a random SMS, because 3minutes later your phone could be shooting laser beans at your face>
Until my next post internet,
Cheers
