Gerrard says "Emo Is A Pile Of Shit"

So My Chemical Romance front man says that "emo is a pile of shit" and the band and himself are hoping to get out of the emo scene.

“I think emo is ******* garbage, it's bullshit. I think there's bands that unfortunately we get lumped in with that are considered emo and by default that starts to make us emo.” Says Way.

I just hope they go back to writing songs like on Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge because that's definitely my favourite album of all time.

National Peace Day

So today was National Peace day, but was it really that peaceful? Well a bomb was detonated in a teacher's car, students were shot at a US university and kids have been threatening workmen with guns I don't know about you but this sure as hell doesn't sound like peace to me. Is there even anybody promoting National Peace Day? Maybe even a parade so people know about it? I guess not. I'm all up for world peace and everything but what's the point of having a national peace day if people are still at war. Maybe they should wait till we can all live together in harmony and people can honestly say they live in a world of peace.

Felt Like a Quote

I just felt like writing a random quote,

"Dating is prostitution, except you don't always get what you paid for"

My First Time Developing a Photograph

Today at school I had Photography club and it was the best. We were supposed to take photos but the cameras were out of battery so we made a photo gram instead. A photo gram is like a collage but instead of doing it on paper, you do it on a sheet of acetate. When you're finished with your collage, you go into the dark room to develop it. I'm not going to go into detail about the dark room, you just put the developing light lamp thing on then put the paper in three different liquids to get your picture. Sweety time (you probably won't get that joke, it's between me and Michael).

Film of the Week

I chose The Breakfast Club as this weeks Film of the Week even thought it's really old and I saw it ages ago because all my friends think its rubbish. I know they're entitled to their own opinions but you can't say a classic is boring. So here's the film that started off all the high school stereotyped clique movies. It's not really that funny, but it makes a really good film. So watch it if you get a chance to, or buy it on dvd (only £5 from play.com)

Halo 3 Almost Here

I was browsing Play.com today and saw a Halo 3 countdown, and there's only ten days left. I'm not a really a fan of the game but I have been waiting for it to come out as it most probably one of the most anticipated games of 2007, not forgetting about GTA IV. So it's out around the 26th september and is availabe in three different editions, one of which includes a spartan helmet for about £70. I would've bought this just for the helmet but... you can't wear it which absolutely sucks.

Halo may be Microsoft's killer app but Assassins Creed is still no.1 in my books.

Random Joke

A man knocks on the door of a house at the top of a hill and a girl answers the door.
The man asks "What's your name?"
The girl replies "Olivia"
The man then says "I know you live here, I asked you for your name."


By the way the, this isn't my joke. All the credit should go to George for telling it me.

Banana and Maple Syrup

Last night, I was planning to mix Rice Krispies with maple syrup but what do you know, someone had eaten all the Rice Krispies which made me really pissed off. So I decided to make something else.

What you need:
Banana
Large bowl
Maple Syrup
Knife
Spoon

Step 1:
Peel all of the banana and put it into a large bowl.

Step 2:
Get a knife and cut your banana (I know it sounds dodgy) from one end to the other, but only cut it half way deep so the banana is still joined at the bottom.

Step 3:
Get the maple syrup (I like to use Clarks Pure Maple Syrup which is only £1
.50 from Asda) and pour some down the cut of the banana. Then pour some in the bowl. You don't have to pour it in the bowl if you don't want to, it just give it some more sweetness.

Step 4:
Get your spoon and ENJOY.

Spiders on Drugs

This video of spiders on drugs is great. You're probably thinking "I've seen this video before in drugs education", well you haven't seen this one. Reccomended to me by a friend, I think she was more focused on the drugs than the spiders *hint* *hint*.

Awesome Song

The song One of Us is Going to Die Young by The Ark is just amazing. The Ark are glam rock superstars in the words of Gerrard (Nick James). This is definitely my favourite song off the album State of the Ark. Anyway here's the song One of Us is Going to Die Young - The Ark

Girls and Sluts

What is it with girls getting all offended if you call them a slut or whore etc.? If someone calls a guy a slut or whore it's sometimes a compliment. Maybe I'll never know. But if you do know please a comment.)

Went to bed at 7:00pm

Went to sleep at 7:00pm last night. Just thought I'd tell you, was so freaking tired.

According to Harry

According to Harry, if you swallow chewing gum seven times you die. I don't know if this is in one day, one month or even a lifetime but I doubt it is true. If you know anyone who has died from swallowing chewing gum seven times, please leave a comment.

Completed Red Dead Revolver

Just completed Red Dead Revolver on the PS2. It's old but such a good game. For those of you that don't know it's a cowboy shooting game made by Rockstar. I recommend it to anyone.

Last Year of School.

Finally, I'm in the last year of school. Just one more year left then I'm free WAHOO!!
I went back to school yesterday, I thought the lessons would be alot harder but they're not justreally really depressing. School sucks.

Film of the Week

I know this week's Film of the Week is abit late but i've just gone back to school so I haven't had time to update the blog. I will have a new Film of the Week every Monday.

This week's Film of the Week is... Dodgeball.

I know it's old but it was on Filmfour last night and it was just so hilarious. Great film, a must see.

PSP Slim & Lite

So the new PSP Slim & Lite is coming to Europe 5th September (2 days) but is it really something to get excited about?









PSP Slim & Lite (Top) and original PSP (bottom).


Apart from being 33% lighter and 19% slimmer and now having 64mb ram (originally 32mb) which loads games quicker there really is not much difference. Oh yh it now has TV output and is available in different colours. But the only new colour I would go for is the Spiderman bundle which includes a red and blank PSP and a copy of spiderman 3 on PSP which explains why it wasnt released with all the other platform versions of it.
Honestly I think the PSP Slim & Lite is just a waste of Sony's money. **** the weight reduction it wasnt really that heavy anyway. What it really needs is at least 1gb of internal memory, two proper analogue sticks and a killer FPS port from the PS2, I'm thinking Timesplitters. That would really bring in the money. But I doubt any of thats going to happen.
So if you want the PSP Slim & Lite its the same price as the original PSP so it's not really a big loss in money.

Shoot 'Em Up Tv Spot

I saw this ad for Clive Owen's new film, Shoot 'Em Up on t.v. last night and thought it was awesome. Its got My Chemical Romance's song, House of Wolves. Anyway heres the video.

Film of The Week

This weeks Film of the Week is... Kids in America.

A diverse group of high school students band together to peacefully stick it to their overbearing principal.
I know it sounds crap but it's actually quite a good teen movie. It's not the usual kind of teen movie though it actually has a point and is based on real events.
Dont worry, even though Nicole Richie is on the front cover which makes you just not want watch it, she only has a minor role in the movie which makes me wonder why she's on the front cover of the dvd (the UK version anyway).Read more at http://imdb.com/title/tt0408961/

Harmless Ipod Prank

I am going to show you how to make someone think their Ipod is broken.

What you will need:

Friend with ipod

Fingers

Step 1:

Get your friends Ipod - this shouldn't be hard, just ask them if you can listen to it.

Step 2:

When the Ipod is on press the centre button and the menu button at the same time and keep them held until the screen goes blank. After a couple of seconds the Apple logo will show. While the Apple logo is showing, press the centre button and the play/pause button at the same time. A picture of a tick should show and the text should read "OK to disconnect" (image at bottom). You have put the Ipod in Hard Disk mode.

Hard Disk Mode:

In Hard Disk mode, the Ipod controls will not work and when you try to turn the Ipod off, nothing will happen. In Hard Disk mode the Ipod acts as a Hard drive.

Back to Normal:
To get the Ipod back to normal, just press the centre button and the menu button at the same time and keep them held until the screen goes blank. This resets the Ipod and will return it to its usual self.
