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
