This BillBoard is a Sign from Above...Enjoy...


I'm sorry, I saw this and giggled. I hope you have a lovely rest-of-January-thingymabobby-whasit. Bye!


PS I did not intend to cause any offence to anyone who sees this. I have no copyright for this photo. Besides, it you think about it, it could actually propose some very interesting theoretical questions....have a gander about that amongst yous.

Bye!

Paint is King.

Right, cryptic post title today - but I promise, all will become clear in due time :)

I recently was introduced to a YouTube vlogger (not in person, but on the interweb) who calls himself "Paint". Although he doesn't make many videos - I think he has about 9 million views? Not bad for a 19 year old guy from Texas.
At least, I think it's Texas.

Jon Cozart is not only a fantastic singer, but quite the charismatic one. Althought some of his videos are slightly an acquired taste, he is somehow fascinating to watch. He has done such videos as "Billionaire and Lion King Mash-Up" which, by the way, is actually awesome, involving the same chords for both songs, a cup that he taps with a pen - oh, and one of the best voices I have ever heard on the web. He also won King of the Web, which is some kind of internet vlogging competition over the pond in America (I think).

I would highly recommend watching his videos. They are truly hilarious and are great at cheering me up. It helps that he can sing really really really well as well!
Here's a link - copy and paste into the thingymabobby above :) www.youtube.com/paint

Sorry for the short post today, guys. Just figured I needed to get it down - I posted about Charlie, I figured I ought to give Jon some credit where it's due as well.
Have fun on la interweb, and have yourself a super week! Probably won't write anything until V-day, since that post is pretty much written - I think it's safe to safe that one will include a short rant, some jokes, some quotes, and probably I shall write a cheesy poem for you all! :D

Bye for now!

The Day I Died...or turned into a vampire, your choice...

Had a very interesting day today. My friend is doing a photography course at school, and asked me to be a model. I was flattered - I'm not exactly the model type - until I found out that she needed someone who was pale enough to be made up as a vampire. Yes, I am pale - no, I'm not ginger.

Sorry, just a little bit of dry humour. My bad.

But yeah, I thought that this would be a suitable introduction for today's topic - the difference between Twilight and vampires. And yes, you did just read that correctly.
Twilight is all about sparkly, immortal, good-looking teenagers who don't drink human blood - apart from the sparkly bit, isn't that every person's dream? It used to be mine, I won't deny it - and then I read Dracula. The Bram Stoker book? About the vampire Dracula who does actually drink human blood?
Twilight vampires have superpowers - they can read minds, see the future - all good stuff. Dracula can use moonlight to transport himself, and can turn into a large spider-like thing (I think!) to climb up the sides of castles and other buildings. Forgive me, but that sounds way better than saying "I'm a vegetarian and I sparkle!" Yeah, you might be able to live forever, but Dracula was way scarier - and isn't that what horror stories are all about?

I'm not saying that the whole Twilight story isn't good - it is! But some people do tend to take it a tad too far. Take "Twihards", for example. They get so obsessive that they actually start biting people to prove their love (sometimes for eachother) for Twilight. Erm, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Twilight vampires are vegatarian, so hsouldn't you really be biting animals? Bet you don't feel so good about yourself now, do ya! HA!

But seriously, I have no qualms with Twilight - all I'm going to say is that you should really read Dracula before you decided what you think a true vampire is, yes?
Sorry for the short post today, I have quite a lot of stuff to do (HINT: some of which is for this interweb site!) but have yourself a very lovely 2012.
BYE-BYE!
