Blog, Marry or Avoid?

Today I have been inundated with people asking me to mention them in today's blog post.  I will begin with Christo aka "Jata" who probably will develop a professional sporting career and will be an idolised sportsman - like Wayne Rooney.  Angelo Costa is quite possibly the most popular person in the year.  He exudes coolness everywhere he steps.  Next is the school's comedian - D'angelo who needs no introduction.  Joshua Sauer will probably go on the achieve 10 A*'s at GCSE because of his admirable intelligence and large brain.  Louis "CK" Jones for the win - will he be a conversation killer or be like Calvin Klein and make a very profitable and lucrative business?  Daniel Manning will be the world's next biggest film producer.  I can see him now on a par with Peter Jackson.  His film may be: "the life and times of Manning."  (Peter put me up to this one)  Pads Elliot-Walker - notorious for his piano playing skills will probably launch a musical career challenging Stevie Wonder's.  If I have left you out, I am sorry, there is only so much I can remember.  I should also wish Conor Irwin and Tom Sables a happy birthday as it only occurs once a year.  Will they have sweet sixteen's?

I provide a service to the community and so write about what is requested.  I am sorry if this has not entertained you, but tell me what you want me to write about - and you never know, you might get a mention!        

Love from Ginger-Nut.          

Slum Blog Millionaire...

I have been requested to "shout out" some members of my year group on this blog.  Now people, you understand that this won't make you famous, right?  Anyway: Josh Wiliamson, Adrian Aungon, Peter Cummins, Ollie (Olz) Brookling and Luke Holmes - the spotlights on you.  Congratulations to the first eleven football team (of which Luke Holmes contributed) for your recent victory.  Adrian - I am sure will have great success in your GCSE's and A-levels because you are intelligent, Josh - you will probably get have great success in the future in a well paid job.  I can see you driving a convertible one day.  Peter, at 6 feet 3-4 inches high stands above most of our year.  You too will have tremendous fortune in the future.  Olz Brookling (11A sports captain) could be the next music sensation (not like Justin Beiber though) but cooler - rocking out, or you may have an office job like an accountant. Anyway if you don't belong to this school community, this will have very little relevance.

Now that's done, I will mention the sport that occurred this weekend.  In the rugby, Ireland beat England very convincingly.  I was impressed, but I should remain impartial because I am half Irish and half English.  However, England have performed better in the competition overall.  In football, Man Utd scraped another three points by beating Bolton 1-0.  Chelsea did well against Man City to win 2-0 - still, Torres needs to prove his extravagant price tag.  Arsenal had a rather typical game of their recent form.  They drew 2-2 with West Brom - however they did do well to come back into the game.  This Wednesday is our house sports, but that's enough about sport for now.

This week ahead looks normal, but as the exams are getting imminent, I feel I need to start revising soon.  At the moment I am listening to music which actually isn't conducive to working in my opinion.  I tend to think about what I am listening to instead of it being an aid to study.

I think you have heard enough from me for now, and I am sorry for my appalling post yesterday.  Have a nice evening everyone.

Love from Goobs.


       

Oh Sorry, I Got The Wrong End Of The Dick...

You must have seen street performers when mooching around in towns.  Sometimes though they are quite annoying.  They may play the accordion badly, or the harmonica indifferently.  The phrase: "Jack of all trades and master of none" comes to mind.  People that busk can be quite good I suppose.  However when people expect money for things like juggling - I mean come on, all men can juggle balls ;)  The most frustrating people though are those gypsy car window cleaners that pounce when cars stop at red lights.  They spray dirty water and other shit on your windscreen.  I have tried to randomise and lighten the content of this blog because of the increasingly depressing news we receive about Libya and Japan.

How was your weekend?  For me it was quite bland and average.  However the weather yesterday was nice.  This time of year means that Comic Relief is in full swing.  That means that music artists also do something for charity.  This year "the wanted" have done the song: "gold forever" which actually is quite good, or maybe it's just catchy and works well on the radio.  For me though, it was when "the Saturday's" did the cover of "just can't get enough" which I particularly liked ;)  After all, it was the first time I saw Frankie Sandford in a video.  An important and difficult question was raised to me recently: "who is better looking, Keira Knightly or Natalie Portman?"  I couldn't answer straight away.  Can you?

As the weather is getting nicer, I am thinking about organising some cycling.  If anyone has any suggestions about where to go, please let me know.  I haven't done much in a while now and want to start some quite soon.

Anyway, a working week awaits us all, so good night everyone.

The Curious Incident Of The Blog In The Night-time...

As we approach the end of the week, there is much to ponder on consider in global news.  The devastating situation in Japan at the forefront.  Japan as we know is a developed country, with a good economy.  Sadly now though, their economy can't be the best, with businesses suffering from the earthquakes and other natural travesties.  We also remember Libya, where the fight for power and justice rages on.  I feel I am fortunate not to be ruled by a dictator.  It must be frightening at times.  I was reading an article on the BBC website today which was about why Britons read books related to Nazism.  It goes on to mention the interesting stuff, but begs the question, is this healthy reading?  Enough about dictators for now as I don't want to get everyone bogged down.    

Being in full time education means most of your time is spent at school - learning.  Well Marissa Miller could certainly teach me a lesson, perhaps a physical education lesson, where we do practical, not theory ;)  The reality is different though.  Fantasy and reality rarely bump into each other unfortunately.  Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Happy St Patrick's day folks!  Any old excuse for the Irish to go down to the pub then I suppose - sorry that was flippant.  The Irish have a public holiday today, but the English don't seem to regard St George's day with the same celebration.  The Irish have a more "layed back" way of life.  "Top of the mornin' to ye"  and so on.  Fair enough.   

In music, The Strokes have a new album coming out soon.  I do like The Strokes, especially their first two albums.  They were a band like The Libertines to emerge at the start of the "noughties" with a fresh take on indie music.  Their third album wasn't so good though in my opinion.  The Libertines had much potential, but the flame burnt out too soon.  Pete Dougherty's drug problems being one of the reasons.  I am not so keen on Rihanna's new single though.  However everything she does is successful - especially with her looks.  I quite like chosing the "shuffle" option on my ipod and I realise that I have good songs on there which I rarely listen to.  

Anyway, that's a rap, and that's all from Goobs,

Over and out.         

         

A Life Less Ordinary...

What do polar bears weigh?  Any ideas?  No, me neither, I was just saying it to to break the ice.  Now the ice is broken, I can proceed.  I was watching "a life less ordinary" yesterday, and what I noticed apart from the bewildering plot was that Cameron Diaz has quite a nice bottom among her other assets.  Jeremy Clarkson doesn't deny it ;) and when she appeared on Top Gear he was more then happy to suck up to her.  It's an decent film I suppose, and I do usually like Danny Boyle films.  Some of Quentin Tarentino's films are not to my taste though.  He tends to include some disturbing content.  Have you seen his "Inglorious Basterds" movie.  If so, it features Brad Pitt doing the most unconvincing Italian accent ever.  My life though, is quite ordinary.    

Today I received my National Insurance card which means that I am a British citizen now.  It's quite convenient really, because next month is my birthday.  People have said that the transition to 16 means that your "legal," can buy a lottery ticket and can work.  I plan to work all summer, however the sour news is that at 16, you are only entitled to £3.64 per hour.  That's shit money really - considering your doing the same labour as the other employees.  Oh well, I guess if 16 year olds received the national minimum wage then fewer people would continue to do A-Levels.  The Minimum wage (£5.93) is an incentive for people to stay in education until 18 years.

More seriously, the disaster in Japan continues to get worse.  Especially with fears of leaking radioactive material or meltdown.  As if the Japanese haven't had enough to deal with; apparently there could be another earthquake in a few weeks.  I hope none of you have family out there that have been affected.

I have nothing more to say, so good night readers,

love from Goobs.
          

The Blogfather...

The nice news I received today is that people enjoy reading this blog.  I also discovered that Cameron Diaz is a loyal fan ;)  Rihanna who also reads this blog, sings that: "who's that chick" song with David Guetta.  Maybe what she really means is "who's that dick" - aimed at Chris Brown.  This is bullshit you realise, I am just bored.  However it would be nice if I randomly became famous from this blog.  My Google Adsense account has been disabled though, and so my blog page no longer has those annoying adverts.  Are you interested in starting a blog?  You should try it and see if you like it.   

In sport, well done England for beating Scotland in the rugby!  However it wasn't convincing really.  England should win the grand slam now nonetheless.  They will have to improve in future games though.  There is some real talent in that team.  However I was a little disappointed that Ireland lost to Wales.  Ireland should be good at rugby considering their players.  This isn't the year for them.  They need to conjure up the magic that caused them to win several years ago.  I am half Irish by the way - hence my red hair.  Some call me a "plastic paddy" which is flippant, but amusing.  Also, hopefully Nani will make a swift comeback for Man Utd after that injury.  However, even if your not a Man Utd fan, you may we wondering what has happened to Owen Hargreaves?  He must have a terrible injury.  Michael Owen is always injured it seems.  Perhaps he has lost his youthfulness and skill.     

The recent burst of sunshine we have had recently means that perhaps spring has arrived.  However the English get a bit too excited sometimes.  For example they go out in flip flop or sandals, shorts and a t-shirt in March!  It annoys me when geeky people wear socks and sandals - similar to a geography teacher on holiday.  On the other hand, some women go out with next to nothing on ;)  Sorry, I am not a pervert, I am just trying to liven up the blog post.  It is better than reading what girls write about Justin Beiber.  

In school related topics, we finish for study leave an May 13th which is good.  What will follow though is an intense period of examinations.  The reward is that long summer after it.  My subjects aren't too demanding at the moment, or if they are I am keeping on top of the work.  For some reason, OCR  have thought it relevant to create a case study for 15-16 year olds about a dairy that makes cheese - yes it's Business Studies.  Perhaps they should employ some young people to enlighten the examiners about how to enhance learning and make it more interesting.  Our teacher drills the comment: "relate everything to Lathoms dairy!"  Apparently, according to my grandfather, science has become sissified in recent years.  For example it's a subject with practical work etc.  That is no longer the case really at GCSE.  Despite these little complaints, school life is good on the whole.

I hope you are enjoying life,

love from Goobs.         

Mad World...

The horrendous and unfortunate circumstances in Japan very recently have shocked the media and indeed the world.  It made me think about how fortunate we are to live in a relatively stable geographic region.  What I mean is that the UK isn't where plate boundaries meet, collide or rub together, thus we don't usually experience earthquakes, tremors or volcanic eruptions.  The severity of the damage is awful to be candid.  It isn't just Japan though that has its ordeal of natural disasters; New Zealand last month and there is political unrest among various nations.  "I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad..."  It isn't funny though.

On a more cheerful note - congratulations Man Utd!  2-0 victory over Arsenal sees them progress in the FA cup.  The reason I am pleased though is Sir Alex played a sort of "B team."  The "Da Silva" twins stood out though and look to be a hopeful prospect for the future.  When Danny Welbeck returns from his loan at Sunderland, we will have another good striker.  Arsenal played well though, they just couldn't score.  Man Utd will have to do better in the Champions League though.  I wonder if Bebe and Mame Biram Diouf will prove to be successful at Utd?  Zoran Tosic wasn't.        

On a random note, I discovered why a lot of women say: "Trainspotting is a good movie..."  Ewan McGregor is stark naked in parts of it apparently!  He displays his light-saber (excuse the euphemism) ;)  Men can't really say Transformers is a good movie though (despite Megan Fox), simply because it isn't.  The film "Swordfish" has an abrupt scene where Halle Berry shows her baps.  The point of all this though is to show that "15" rated movies these days do contain a lot of adult content.  Anyway, I don't know how I got onto this topic!  Sorry readers.

In other news, I received an A* in my additional science module.  It isn't a biggie though because so many others did too.  It somehow loses the exclusivity factor.  I hope to get A* in most subjects.  Business Studies is unlikely, but the there is chance in the rest.  I have had a lazy day today, but this coming week will get me back into action :/

I hope life is going well for everyone,

From Goobs.
