Choices

In this week's episode of Doctor Who (which was brilliant) Donna, a person who seemed to be just about as unimportant and mundane as the rest of us, lost in a sea of billions of people on this planet, managed to determine the fate of the rest of the universe- just by turning left. It sort of highlights the idea that every little thing we do can have great ratifications on the rest of the world, because seeing as we're all in this sea of people, we have a way of effecting other people everyday. An it's like a chain reaction, once one person does something, like turning down one road instead of another, they affect what another person does, whihc effects someone else, etc...
But, I know that this doesn't mean that if I go a different way to school, for example, it doesn't have to mean that othat action ends up with someone else saving the world. But it could... there is that chance.
It sort of makes you wonder what the world would be like if you did some things differently... and then it sort of reminds you thateven if things are particularily great, it could be alot worse really. Of course it could be better, but things are at a sort of balance, there's crime, hate etc but there's also so much love and kindness that just doesn't get enough press, when on the news normally it's the faluts of politians or wars in forgein places instead of the good things hat happen all over the world. Like, Bill Gates gives some of his profits to charritees, but I only heard that yesterday, when he's been doing this for years, yet it's more likely for me to hear how they are rivals with google etc. And you hear about how teenagers today in places like London are all out of contol, and yes I admit, I've seen some crap, but I mean... we're not all like that. It actually rather depressing to see what the world is turning into, and part of it, is this ideathat one person doesn't matter. It's like we've been programmed to have this belief that one person can't change the world. Like oh, I'm not going to turn off the water when I'm brushing my teeth, one person won't make a difference, not when someone else will do it anyway. *shakes head* nothing will change if everyone keeps thinking that.
So make your choices wisely, don't fall into this trap. Even I've done it, but we should all try.
Sorry if this post sounds a bit preachy :S

A reason for listening to countless film critics

THE HAPPENING

What actually happens in the Happening?
I’ll tell you what.
Nothing.
The whole thing is a waste of money, honestly. However jacked up the cinema prices are getting (I paid £8, that’s right- eight whole of my pounds) do not even bother wasting your money.
Do not believe the lies that are the very well made advertisements and trailers for this film. They say it’s a horror, the most scary ever made by its creator M. Night something or other; the bloke who did The Sixth Sense. The Happening did not top it- not by a very, very long shot. I spent half the time with my fingers over my glasses, believing that maybe, just maybe something terrifying would happen- but it never did. No wait- there was this old lady in it that gave me the ‘heebie jeebies’ but other than that, it was more messed up than anything else. I also found the whole aim of the film a little dodgy: respect trees/ the environment. That was the whole point.
What were we supposed to be scared of?
The wind.
Yes, you heard (well, read) correctly.
Wind.
And no, I don’t mean a massive fart either.
‘Run away from the wind!’ someone screams, and so they do… *gasp* and nothing happens. That was dumb. Near the end, when you think, okay, one of these ‘principle’ characters were going to die, they step out into the ‘wind’ and guess what… nothing happens! Conveniently, the spores in the wind stopped just as they left the house. Now that pissed me off- what rubbish.
And the conclusion to the entire film was spelled out to you, because for some it was too obvious, or to others the whole film made no sense at all. Looks like there needs to be a seventh sense just to get this nonsense.
I have to admit, there are moments (and I mean MOMENTS) of actual horror, but the majority were just disturbing. People hanging from trees: Disturbing, not scary… just disturbing. People killing themselves… it’s not scary, it’s sick (and I don’t mean sick as in ‘cool’). That writer has problems, and he’s there proclaiming the so called ‘greatness’ of his creation (which is a bit like a Film Frankenstein) on the misleading advertisements, as if he, himself has something to be proud of by making that film.

All M. Night something or other has accomplished has been:

1. Wasting my money.
2. Wasting my time.
3. Wasting his, and the film company’s money.
4. Lying to the world.
5. Making himself look like an idiot.
6. And proving that he has problems and that he needs a phyciatrist.

An Apology To those who are Gay

Sorry.
I have this funny little habit of calling everything 'gay' these days.
E.g.
Wow that's so gay!
Or
That dude is GAY.

For this, I am sorry.

But I'm not sorry for this:
You're as gay as Steven!

'Cause, 1. It's a character.
2. He's in denial.
3. He's a crazy physco.
4. I can't even spell physco anyway, and the spell checker freezes this computer... well nearly everything does anyway...

The Mockery of the Mock Exams

GCSEs
THE PERSON THAT MAKES OCR GCSEs SHOULD HAVE AN ANGRY LETTER WRITTEN TO THEM.
Why?
Observe:
Why use percentages to show results?
Tick the correct answer:
Percentages are more scientfic.
Everyone knows what a percentage is.
There was a difference in results from each table.

Guess which one was correct...

EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT A PERCENTAGE IS! WHAT SORT OF RUBBISH IS THIS? THIS IS NOT A SCIENCE EXAM! THIS IS A NONSENSE EXAM.

After taking a OCR Mock Science Exam, there is alot left to be desired, there's no point even revising, because the questions have no real association to the information in the revision guides or textbooks in class.
Another great fault with this exam board is that the questions- as I have previously stated, are not scientfic at all. I'm sorry but at what authority can one say that 'Everyone knows what a percentage is'? Are these people so ignorant they can't even realise that there are people in the world that can't even read? Oh so they don't know what is meant by 'the cat sat on the mat' (in writing) but they know percentages. What fools!
Also, they ask us questions on things that aren't even in that part of the syllabus; at what point did we learn about 'half lives' and 'plutonium' I know these terms, but that does not mean that I can use it to calculate this, that and the other.
In addition, there are far too many of those A,B,C,D,E or F questions. There are too ambiguious to show any true answer, or true knowledge of the subject at hand. As well as that, these questions are really hypothetical, I mean, it's full of 'he thinks', 'they think', 'suggest' what ever happened to science being about true facts and definitions, isn't it about finding the 'why' about the world? Not 'what it could be'.

Now. The second paper.
HOW IS A COMPREHENSION SCIENCE?
How is a comprehension with questions that do not have the answers in the text, science?
How can the school actually manage to give around 60 girls a text booklet filled with a repeat of the question sheets?
So many questions so little ranting time, I'm going to watch the Apprentice on BBC1.

Do You Know What Really 'grinds my gears'?

I hate shopping malls. I hate the fact that it's all fake, well in the sence that, those calming fountains and air conditioning isn't to make you feel cool whilst shopping in the summer, it's there because some 'tests' have shown that people spend more money there. The whole thing is engineered to make us spend more, it's everywhere, even the layout of a shop can decide what we're more likely to purchse. Now that really 'grinds my gears' (nicked off Family Guy) . I was in Croydon this week, and because it was the Easter Holidays for some, I saw many teen slags in the shopping mall. Now, I know what your thinking, 'teen slags'? What are these may I ask? Well, these to me, are those girls that are my age, with lots of make up caked on their faces, in 'cool' clothes and hanging around in groups with those large handbags dangling on their elbow, with their hair fried into a straight style; well either that or it's soaking wet looking a bit naff. Anyway, they hang around looking like slappers, yet they still manage to walk into those shops like, Zara and Wallis and go, 'OMG' at something dumb, like a pair of shoes at are £30 and are like stilts... It's like HELLO? THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN CLOTHES AND BLOKES! And what really 'grinds my gears' is the fact that the parents don't really care, they give their children too much money to spend. The sort of clothes in those clothes shops seem to be aimed at those who have the money to spend on clothes that prevent them from doing work, yet they still have more money than those who have to work those dreadful 9- 5 hours. At what point is this right or fair or... even able to make sence?

All in all, what 'grinds my gears' are those posh girls that have more money than sence.

N.B. I'm sure they aren't all like that... or are they?

Working toward expected standard.

This year school holidays are just... EVERYWHERE, right now, I'm in my first week of it, the second day infact: and I am bored. Well, I've sat in my bedroom with the curtains closed for 2 days now, so what could anyone really expect? However, I've been revising for my exams, and have kept myself busy. Thanks to my little freeview box, I have been listening to brilliant music:
Madonna ft JT and Timberland - 4 Minutes
A good song, but I hate one line: 'We've only got four minutes to save the world'... I'm sorry, is this a song or a theme tune to some rubbish cartoon on at 6am on a Saturday which no body watches?
Kylie Minogue- In your Arms
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GcE5QCMksvI
So 80s , so summer like and just beautiful!
Sam Sparro- Black and Gold
Smooth and addictive! I irritated alot of people singing that, including my mathamatics teacher. " Wickeeee maybe you du nott realise how loud you are."
Kanye West- Flashing Lights
Awesome song, sounds great... shame about the video. It can't be played fully on TV, because of the murder in it... what a shame. What I don't get is how come they can't show someone being hit by a shovel, from a distance (so you don't actually see it) but they can show a woman with such skimpy lingere that when she walks; her bossoms juggle and her butt shakes... THAT IS DISGUSTING. And sexist. Yet they show that part. Click on the link below to see the video, btw, you watch it at your own discression, if you don't like it don't have a go at me or something.

Moving off the topic of Music, my school has insisted that everyone does work expirence- when we're too young for most jobs. It is such an obvious way of avoiding having to take my year on activities week, the school's so cheap it couldn't afford it- even though we have to pay for most things anyway. The school that is supposed to be an Eco school, spends hundreds of pounds on paper that is pointlessly used, especially in Science... tut tut tut. How dumb. There's going to be a wormary at my school now aswell. Ha! The girls at my school would scream if they saw any worms! Seriously, the majority are such a stereotype.
Yeah, work expirence; I got this placement with the government, and I'm supposed to phone them to arrange and interview; weeks it has taken me to try and get through, and still nothing. Though now, the husband and wife I am to be working for 'are on holiday' for two weeks. TWO WEEKS. My mother only gets that like once a year... No wonder the government is in such a dodgy state, they keep going on holiday.

DOCTOR WHO IS BACK!!!!!!!!
And as great as ever may I add, it seems that Donner has more depth to her than trivia; and it seems that she is alot like me. Haha, if anyone saw it, the office scene was just jokes... haha "Am I interupting you?" If you have no idea about what I'm writing about, go on youtube.com, search for doctor who partners in crime, and you should hopefully find it. What brilliant writing by Russel T Davies.

Lastly, I would like to add, a cheer for those protesting about the Tibet thing. Though I think you lot should do it in a less violent way, the Olympics aren't about Tibet, they are about unity and sport. Find another way!!

Where's Panic's Panic!?/ Emo Is Dead. Muhahaha.

Okay, so I'm a little bit hyper right now... but whatever, after reading my friend's blog I have decided to write a new post, seeing as I haven't in ages. Hmmmm, what could I talk about... Music is something interesting right now, well when isn't it? Good music that I've heard recently are:(I put the titles before the bands, backwards, I know)
Cassius- Foals (Sounds like Hummer and just as addictive)
Make Love Listen to Death From Above- CSS (I'm not sure if that's the right title :S)
We are Rockstars- Does it offend you, yeah? (Good for a party)
Nine in the Afternoon- Panic at the Disco.

Now, I hear you: 'Where's Panic's Panic!?' Well, they got fed up of having to explain why the exclaimation mark is there, which is pretty understandable, though the ! was awesome. The cynical band of theratrical proportions has transformed and grown up into a happy and more welcoming bunch. Their new song is also awesome and shows that their musical skills have managed to surpass all expectations of 'Fever...' Mk 2. They also reflect the growing alienation of EMO. It's gone. There are of course still the few 'hardcore' ones (Is it even possible to be a hardcore hardcore?), but overall the fad of suicide, drugs (or the extreme; 'straight edge') and the
'Oh my God, My live sucks, No one cares, I'm so sad!'
'Yes. You are sad.'
- has died out.
The whole thing was totally ridiculous, and I was a part of it so I know- It.Was.Stupid. There were so many with so much hope and potential who wasted so much of the most vital years of their life whining and being angry.When half them only joined in for either- the excuse for the fringe, or to go on myspace and shit. That fact that it faded out so quickly from such a high just shows how much of a passing fad it was. If you see half of them now, they are with handbags and trying to get down to grime or R&B or Pop or something, or they've decided to stop being a pussy and become an actual goth. But, I don't think that there are that many.

What's kinda sad is that in Latin, 'Emo' means 'I buy'... that's just weird.
