English class Blog
I thought I would be different like chris and write my blog post somewhere strange like the toilet, but the best I can manage at this current time is my English classroom.
I am meant to be doing a case and product study thing, but I have pretty much finished and just need to wait until tomorrow when we all go into town to put our research and study into action and "buy" the products we have been researching, quite how all this is english related I am not sure but anyway, moving on. As i said, i am almost finished so for now I am doing nothing much.
Oh, I also updated my youtube page and banners yesterday, and I am VERY happy with them. I got tired of my old ones very fast... but these ones are more new and funky and my video banner allows for easy change.
I would upload my old and my new banners and background to this post... but the schools internet is really bad for upload. so I will link to the ones i have links to:
(now i know what your thinking your wondering why i didn't embed the mage via the link, the schools internet is weird... when i try and do that it just sorta sits there doing nothing for 5 mins or so and then says "upload from link failed"
LINKS:
Video banner
Page banner
Page background
ok thats about it for this English lesson blog post, I will bid you adue and go back to doing nothing much.
OH! one more thing before I go, If anyone has any suggestions for words to put into the video banner I would love to hear/read them so just leave them in a comment and you may see them in the banner soon!

My day.
was able to recall the happenings of my previous life and through intensive training I was able to tone my gerbil voice box so I was able to master the English language, I was then able to warn my past self about the fatal events that would befall me if I made the chuck Norris video and was able to put a stop to my own horrible demise, of course because my gerbil self managed to stop my human self from creating the chuck Norris video my gerbil self therefore stopped his own creation by reincarnation, this created a time paradox which would have destroyed 2 thirds of the universe except for the fact that I was able to catch the paradox in a jar and save the universe. The paradox now lives in a jar on my shelf and will stay there for evermore, unless somebody pisses me off really badly, and I feel the need to release it and let it reek vengeance on an unsuspecting world.
Of course apart form the paradox in a jar, I have no evidence of this horrible fate that nearly destroyed 2 thirds of the universe, The only proof I have is what has been told to me by my hamster, so it could all be a lie fed to me by the hamster in a elaborate plot to make himself feel more important, this seems unlikely, although he has proved to be quite devious and selfish on occasion.

Am I being too harsh?
Today i got this message from someone who recently subscribed to me.
"I subscribed to you and you never subscribed ME back. i thought you said you do sub 4 sub even though i usually dont"
and i replied with this
No I don't do sub for sub!
If you ever saw a sub for sub comment from me it was sent as an ironic joke to one of my friends because we always talk about how much we dislike sub for sub. don't bother un-subscribing I have done it for you. Sub for sub is not a good way to get subscribers. you need to earn them if you want them to be loyal and watch, it feels much better to earn them as well.
- Rob
now tell me, am I being too harsh?
While I'm being harsh, I just wan't to make a statement to a few of those who have complained about my punctuation and capitalization in my blogs. this is my blog, I come here to write, not to be graded. I will not always remember to capitalize my I's. I will not always remember to put an apostrophe in I'm and I will occasionally have typos.

I generally just do what im told...
I have been in the boarding house for a week now and it is fine, i come in here quite often because my mum goes away a fair bit. So for that reason I'm used to how everything works, and it is generally pretty easy to slip back into the schedule of things.
There are generally 3 things people ask about when they find out your going into boarding school, and i will attempt to answer all of them here.
Q: whats the food like?
A: In my oppinion the food is fine, allot of the boarders complain about it but they complain about allot of stuff so we won't bother with there opinions. when alot of people imagine boarding house food I think they imagine that classic scene from all american teen drama's with the kids walking up to the counter holding big metal trays and they have some browny grey still moving slop ladled onto there tray and they cringe and keep moving, this is certainly (and thankfully) not the case, last night for dinner there way choice of a vegetarian pasta dish, a sorta quiche thing and lasagna, and of course potatoes, beans and various salads for sides.
Ok that paragraph was getting out of control, I was jumping from one thing to another without making much sense so i am going to stop it and simply say the food is fine. :)
Q: is there a bedtime?
A: yes there is, everyone must be upstairs in the dorm areas by 9, in there own cubicles or rooms by 9:30 and lights out by 10. and yes sadly these rules are inforced, with people patroling and checking in on the various dorms to make sure all lights are out, and all people are in there beds. despite this most nights i have managed to stay up till around 11 watching movies, via either hiding my laptop under my bed cover or by hovering my hand over the screen brightness key and just turning the screen ligh off if someone ever enters the dorm.
oh yea im hell rebel...
Q: what are the rooms like?
A:
Ok thats about it really for this post, see you all next time!

A Pretty Epic Day
How was my day you ask? EPIC thats how!
Ok, so I may have been sick home from school with a stomachache and dizziness, but today was still epic.
Epic things that happened today
Reached 700 subs (700th sub was residentmikelee)
Met 5 new epic youtubers
Had a totally epic 6 hour long skype chat with 6 epic youtubers
Became a member of an epic youtube brotherhood and secret society
Learn't the epic origins of Nar
Made a video responce to toddly00's epic "this is me..." video
Wrote a (mildly epic?) vlog post.
There was other stuff but I can't remember it all, so today i leave you with a demand:
All comments on this blog post must be epic, and contain randomly capatalised words. Or i will delete them!
(what do you mean you want me to properly puncuate and capatalise my blogs!? BAH! I don't need no punctuation! and besides, I'm lazy. I'm a teenager not an English teacher, punctuation is for squares... (do people still say squares? I'm so out of touch with today's slang... (WOW! brackets within brackets within brackets?! all correct English skills really have gone out the window haven't they...)))
ok bye

Sup?
especially when used in IM.
The reason for this is i never know how to answer, to me,"sup?" means
"what's up?" and "whats up?" means "what's wrong?" and randomly
asking people "whats wrong" as soon as you start a conversation with
them just doesn't make any flipping sense!
I hate it! I detest having to answer it because I always just end up
saying "not much" no matter how much is actually "up" and then i move
on and say "life is pretty good/bad/amazing/awful/strange/cold/warm/
random/hippo infested", depending on what mood I'm in/the weather/the
political situation in Pakistan/the number of hippos infesting my
current residence, or all maner of other things which regularly change
my mood.
now, this is where the simple minded people may get confused, because
i detest answering the term so much, every time i start a conversation
with someone, i always say it after I say hi, i say it because in my
mind it makes sense, that if I ask it before they can, i won't have to
answer it, and I want have to go through the whole "not much" phase. I
know this means I am just passing the burden from one person to
another but it doesn't seem to irritate other people as much, or
atleast they seem to have no problem with asking it at every possible
opportunity, so i presume they don't mind it. although i also use it
at every possible opportunity... but everyone can't be like me or the
world would just be insane.
lets make an official agreement right here and now, i won't ask if you
don't ask, ok? good.
augh... i need to make a video...
augh... my computer's dictionary doesn't have "augh" in it... *add's
to dictionary* woo! now it does, ill probably regret that later... oh
well. at least the squiggly red line is gone.
okey dokey.
nyeeehhh, okey dokey isn't in my dictionary... *adds to dictionary*
augh... neither is "nyeeehhh" *adds to dictionary*
wooo!!! no red lines anymore... dammit... *adds to dictionary*
kthxbai!

If anyone had cared to take a look out their window that summer night and take notice of the van they would have realised what a curious sight it was. The van’s deep green paint was all scratched and chipped away revealing the old white paint and rusted steel that lay beneath. The front windscreen had a long, thin fracture running through it on the passenger’s side, a scar from an incident long since forgotten, the old rusty engine coughing and spluttering with the strain of the weight in the back. But people aren’t accustomed to looking out their windows into the street at 10:27 on a Sunday night so as planned, the van went unnoticed.
The van’s driver turned the wheel to the right as the van turned onto the main road. The suspension crunched under the weight of the van’s cargo. The young man in the driver’s seat of the car held back a tear as he thought about what was approaching, his dark matted hair shadowing his despondent face from the streetlights. He had been 17 when he had emigrated here; it seemed like such a long time ago now. Who would have thought in 8 short months, so much could change in someone’s life. Who would have thought that in 8 short months one man’s heart could be filled with so much hatred. He was too young to die and far too young to be doing this, but yet… here he was.
The driver’s heart rate jumped as he heard shouts erupting from a side street, a bead of sweat tricked down his cheek. “This is the end” he thought, “I’ve failed, it’s all over”. Suddenly a drunken couple stumbled out on to the pavement, they had just been kicked out of the bar and they appeared to have been the cause of the commotion. The driver was filled with relief, but also sadness. He realised there was no way out of what was coming, no way of cheating death. The result of 4 months of hard planning was here, and he wasn’t quite sure what to feel. There was no noise in the cabin except the rumble of the engine and the slosh of chemicals in the back. There was no radio and a tangle of wires and a small yellow switch hung from the cavity where the radio should have been, but this made little difference to the driver, he didn’t want any music. All he wanted was for life to go back to normal, for life to be like it was when he had first arrived. He had been filled with such hope, so many dreams and so many plans for himself. But the prejudice of society had quickly shattered all of that.
He was yanked back to reality by the harsh smell of fertilizer stinging at his nostrils He glanced down at the map, “not long now,” he thought, as he rounded the final curve before his destination. He turned the wheel and the car glided into a vacant car park out side the building, he pulled into a parking space, and turned off the ignition, He listened as the engine slowly died down and he listened to the sounds of the outside world, the world he was about to change forever.
He could hear the sounds of the city, a vehicle sped by somewhere in the distance, and somewhere near by a dog was barking. A bird flew along and landed on the fence in front of his parking space, he watched dreamily as it scratched at a place on its wing with its beak. “Fly away bird” he muttered to himself ”fly away..”.
He looked down to the dashboard and at the non-existent radio. He reached down and curled his fingers around the cold black plastic switch. He thought about what he was holding in his hand. Who would think such a small thing could do so much. It wasn’t just a switch, it was revenge, it was vengeance, it was a step along the path to the freedom of his people, it was a strike back at those who had mistreated him, it was his payback for what they had done. But, it was also a thing of terror, it was death, it was shock, it was pain, it was suffering and it was horror. But it was also one other thing, it was the thing he wanted most of all at this time. It wa a thing he wanted more than anything else in the world. It was a way out; it was his way of escaping this evil place. This burrow of hate. The only way he could ever be peaceful again. And yet… could he do it, could he really do it, all it would take was the slightest motion, all he needed to do was press his thumb and it would all be over. He thought of all the innocent people that would be affected by this he thought of the innocent people whose lives could be ruined by what he was about to do. But then he remembered the reason, he remembered the hatred there had been towards him, the hatred that had started when he arrived and had never stopped. He felt anger at society, anger at the World, He let the anger overtake him, his breathing became heavy as a tear ran down his wet and sweaty face. He felt the anger flowing through his body, anger at the world, anger at humanity, anger at himself, he felt hatred, pure hatred. It pulsed through his veins like a poison. His breathing became heavier as he looked down at the switch in his hand, he placed his thumb on the button, his chest pounding, his whole body tense. He closed his eyes, he raised his head as he let out one last scream of anger, his final message to the world he despised so much.

Blogspot holds a grudge
Greetings people of the tube... and random blog browsers.
Firstly i want to apologise For not posting in a few days. Blogspot has been acting up lately and since i created a wordpress account (just to see if it had any extra features) blogspot has refused to let me log on, i think it is annoyed at me for cheating on it with wordpress.
I posted this blog using the email blogging service that blogspot has. I have never used it before, so i hope it all works correctly. I am slightly annoyed at blogspot's password reset service, I filled out the forgotten password form, and it sent an email to the email address i registered it with. Contained in that email was a link to click, i followed the link and it lead me to a page which informed me that a SECOND email had been sent to the SECOND email address i submitted when registering. I of course had not entered a second email address when i registered, so i must wait 5 days to reset my password using my recovery question. #groan#
As i right this blog, i am sitting on my sofa with some friends around To celebrate my 17th, I've never been much of a party person, so i am just celebrating with a group of my close friends, We are playing burnout revenge on the xbox. it is one of my favourite games, I think it is the senseless mass carnage and destruction that appeals to my adolescent mind.
Speaking of mass destruction and carnage of the automobile variety, I got the topgear box set from my mum as a birthday present, which I was very happy about. I was never that into cars, UNTILL i discovered topgear. Im still not that into cars, but i know enough facts to spew out to impress even the most car obsessed freaks. but enough about that, I'm rambling. I better go and stop being an anti social blogger. but i just wanted to ask, has anyone seens TWK's new banner?
Look familiar? i present smosh's banner VV
this blog has ended up rather long, but i still have 3 more thing to say so i shall make them short.
1) I made my self a Banner for my blog, it is at the top if the page. what do you think? and any suggested improvements?
2) since i started blogging i have wanted to do something consistent with my blogs, like "picture of the now" like whataboutadam, but I hardly ever have a digital camera on me, and i could just use the isight, but the pictures would all be pretty much the same. so i have stolen something from Elrich's blog, and that is a "what I'm currently listening to" caption, so here it is!
Elrich, if you ever read this. i hope you don't object.
What I'm currently listening to: Mm ma ma, by crazy loop.
argh!...
