The forgiveness ends
Yes, bretheren. At last. The inevitable has fallen upon us all. Pack away the summer dresses and nudists start buying some clothes. Grab the gloves and hat and perhaps even prepare a sleigh. The only redeeming feature one has to look forward to with this enbittered cold is that it highlights a short era, of sorts, coming to an end. Something we celebrate with an activity known as Christmas. Before we delve into that we must be mindful of those who have a different experience, where, be they nurses or airport staff, police officers or MI5 "spooks," do not get the same kind of relief from this period as some other people are afforded. Those people, however, will be ditching their work clothes and forgetting about pay packets for a little while. Hopefully, those in debt can stave of thoughts of such worries for at least a day, as well. Yes. Why do we do this?
Generally, humans spend every single day of their life with some sort of stress attached to them. Not only can this evolve into mental illness, stress in and of itself is, of course, bad. Having just one day, if not a week or so from stress, is brilliant. Vital. Potentially life changing, I kid you not. There are weekends here and there but it is not uncommon for people to work weekends, even Sundays, and to be too busy seeing to financial struggles to be able to enjoy life. Some people enjoy Christmas because they see it as a reference to a sacrifice of a king they believe in. Some just wish for a great... gathering of sorts so as to finally be able to get everyone together in the same house. Others just enjoy spending time with those they are already with. Christmas day can see to all of those things and more. Whether a holder of faith or not, I would like to think that the social aspect is enjoyed, or at least craved, by everyone, I can already see my Christmas fairly clearly, it will be interesting to note how much I did guess right. I can see me and my slightly older brother, Ben, playing video games together, something we rarely get to do anymore due to him working odd hours at Asda and me being stuck to the online world seeing to my online businesses. My mother will try to get everyone together for sessions of board-gaming, I have a feeling, especially as she has now acquired some new ones. It has been ever so long since I last played Monopoly. My other brothers will begin, if not also end, playing games independent of everyone else. There has been a big shift in my family, I wonder if that will become apparent even on Christmas day, this year.
A long time ago, me and my sister were very close. Even further back, me and my slightly older brother were quite close. Nowadays, I seem to hold an equal relationship with everyone, at least from my side. That is, partially, intentional. I do not wish to be closer to one person more than another, but also, there are a lot of ongoing issues, the unresolved kind, within the family, so relationships can be strained. Inevitably, I can seem quite distant from the others. In modern times, my sister is a lot closer to Ben now, in quite a few ways, however, when it comes to the discussion of serious issues I do detect a massive divide and unease on my sister's part. My older Brother James, is independent in a different way to myself. Just like me, however, he is capable of interaction. He will engage in group activities far more often than he ever used to. I detect some sort of shyness or unease remaning, though. Whereas for me, I can easily join in whenever I wish to, thus therein lies the problem. I alternate between joining in and "missing out." My father, for some time now, appears to be closer to James. Curiously, they sit near one another. I say curiously, because it must be coincidental. I would not say that the seating arrangement gave birth to their new closeness, either. Maybe ease of communication was afforded to them but it may well have started out as a thing of somewhat convenience. So, Christmas is not a reset but a gentle continuation, for some. A big deep breath before the new year- before the chaos starts all over again. Well, once again I am going to end this post much sooner than previously planned as duty calls! I have taken ownership of a new website and I started this post ages ago! Have a safe Christmas. Note people's psychology. Bring an arm around them if they are down. Listen to their worries. Give a smile. Give a gift. Enjoy their gifts to you- whatever form they may take. Seasons greetings, friends :)

Why does the new 3DS (Named in Japan as "new 3DS." Yup, it's gonna need a new name when it comes to Western shores.) appear to have the stylus stored at the bottom of the console? Meaning you either turn the console around to get to the stylus or put the 3DS out further from you body, again, just to reach the stylus? Also-why does it look as though they are doing an Apple by making it hard to change vital parts? The SD card is under a faceplate that has to be unscrewed to be taken off. Ok, you could leave the screws out but then the whole thing might get loose, plus, with my 3DS XL the SD card can easily be pushed out from the side and pushed back in.
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/10/video_new_nintendo_3ds_unboxing_and_hands_on
Aside from those nuances, it looks to be interesting. While perhaps not a great deal visually different from the previous incarnations (Which is not bad, I like the shape, size and so on of the 3DS and 3DS XL.) it is said to have a different processor, allowing it to play different games.
Keep a look out for more information.

Pokemon X and Y
(I started this post a few weeks ago-once again I got rather busy. I'm gonna post how it is for now and perhaps add to it later.)
Gotta catch 'em all
So, in between struggling to-make a living, finish my novels and plot to take over the world, (busy guy, I know!) I have found some time to play Pokemon X and Y. You know. That set of video games that broke records, as happens every generation. The ones where you triumph good by collecting Sayain warriors who turn into Super Sayains once you have collected enough Mega stones.
Wait?
Anyway. I have focused on Y, by coincidence, and have completed the main game, collected a few Mega stones, surfed around the world on the mighty back of a Lapras, caught a Pichu, seduced Mewtwo into joining my team of eliteSaya Pokemon warriors, deposited Mewtwo and a Ditto at the day care center in a desperate attempt to stir up romance, Mega evolved Charizard, levelled my Venusaur beyond level 90 and gone on a date with a cute NPC (Non playable character.) girl. And, while all of those things are true save the LAST one (Come on GameFreak!) it has been just as fun had I been enjoying a romantic dinner with the cutest French girl the world has ever seen.
Did I say French? From the berets to the Eiffelt tower look alike, I am not sure if anyone could not see France in the first few seconds of playing this game. Although, there is a town that seems to be nodding towards Stonehenge, which, in case you did not know, is from our little island here. I felt the culture mimicks, look, feel etcetera worked well. No, not just because of the cute girls. I had always imagined France to be a nice place and this game helped to showcase some things that people love. The big tower that stands out, when you think of Lumiose city you automatically think of the town with the big Eiffel tower copyright infringement, Well, I did anyway, minus the copyright infringement joke. Fashion works well too. I wonder if France led to the fashion inclusion or vice versa. Perhaps, GameFreak had been wanting to give greater customisation for some time but France was a brilliant place to start. Yes, you can even buy a beret! How cute is that? It makes me awfully curious as to what kind of clothing will be present in the Ruby and Sapphire remakes that are due to be released shortly. I guess, seeing as Kalos is a super-fictional creation, in the sense that there was no public knowledge regarding it available before it was revealed, it was easy to pick a location to base certain aspects upon. Whereas, the remakes are of course tied to already established, lore, locations and so on, but I am sure there will be some interesting twists and innovations all the same. Seeing as I own both X and Y, I naturally used that freedom to experience life as both a boy and a girl (Something we all wish to come true in reality.). I have not got around to customising my boy/teen/man just yet as he is still singing the first chorus of his adventure on that save file, but once I have the money I shall see what kind of clothing the shops stock. As for our girl friend, (GIRL FRIEND. She's a girl and she is my friend. She is NOT my girlfriend. Pokemon reference #1.) she has a nice selection of outfits. Plus, you can buy buttons for hats and scarves to keep your neck warm for when you visit the snowy regions (Yes, I know that she is made up of computer graphics. She can still feel the cold!). Her cute blonde hair matches her clothing nicely. Something I told her on our firs-
Oh yeah. The Pokemon. Since Gold and Silver, all that time ago, Pokemon has continued to evolve. As in-the games. First, there were not even two hundred. Now, there will be one thousand, shortly. We have already exceeded the six hundred barrier. Of my personal noted interest-Some have commented on how there are less than 100 new Pokemon this time around. I mention purely for interesting trivia that this could be debated. For there are said to be 70 new Pokemon and 30 Mega evolved forms. Those round figures beg to be labelled as intended. Mega evolutions are kinda like new Pokemon and kinda not, I feel. Sort of like powering up as aSupe Pokemon-ready to evolve but being stopped-resulting in a new level that is neither evolved nor their original form. They do often resemble their previous form, if you will, in terms of physicalities and abilities. But this does vary. One Mewtwo form looks like an Ascended Super Sayain even bulkier Mewtwo, while the other, looks to be a gender change for Mewtwo, even if Mewtwo has no gender as such (May there be a third Mewtwo evolution someday? It is Mewtwo after all. Surely, Mewtwo begs for one?). Charizard has a darker skin available, yet his other evolution may be lost on you if you look too quickly. I have not acquired Blaziken's yet, although, I do remember seeing a video of it. Goku's Lucario's is the first that you witness, without hacking anyway. Actually, -SPOILER- the kind dear gives you Lucario! And all we had to do was date her brother. I assume that was why I found this strange man in my bedroom the other day, anyway. In case you do forget where you began your journey, FLY is back, of course. As in-teach to Pidgey, or someone else if you are not as fond of Pidgey as I, and you can fly through towns at your leisure.
Aside from catching, battling anddating training your Pokemon, there are some unique features. Poffins do not seem to have returned unfortunately, which is sad seeing as The evil organisation known as Team R.O.C.K.E.T (Retro Organisation Commandeers Killer Electronic Technology Nintendo recently shut off DS and Wii severs, meaning a ton of features from Pokemon games alone, have been wiped off the face of this Earth. Plus, I am dissappointed that one has to purchase (And continually pay if memory serves; once a year.) something, in this example, an app known as Pokemon Bank, in order to transfer Pokemon from older games. Never, has this been done before. This really goes against the spirit of Pokemon. Apparently, it is to help pay for server costs. Which could well be plausible. Just hang on a second...My Black and White games have infra red built in. My 3DS has infra red built in. It was impossible to create a free method of transferring said Pokemon? Really, Nintendo. Slyly greedy, slyly devious. Of course, it may well be that GameFreak made some suggestions, whether to retain easier methods of transportation or not, but as it is Nintendo's console, and these games were clearly planned to save the dying 3DS (As mentioned before. The timing of Black 2 and White 2 is impeccable. Clearly, they were instructed to finish up on the old DS and create a new generation on the 3DS instead.) I think it may not be too prudent to assume that old Ninty were the ones pulling strings, even if gently.
So, aside from that technical limitation, these games are brilliant. I am not someone who ditches old games because of graphical flaws, or at all. If it was good today then it should be good tomorrow. Red and Blue are still brilliant games. Gold, Crystal, Ruby, Diamond, Black...and so on. But that does not mean that it is wrong to acknowledge changes. It need not mean that we are forsaking the older generations. What Pokemon X and Y brought to the table is immediately obvious and in such a way that hopefully everyone can witness it. For, if your eyesight is bad, take a listen to the new music instead. The 3DS plays it nicely. If you have a headache, turn down the volume and look at the buildings that have got even bigger since the days of Black and White-even more 3D like and getting closer and closer to resembling real buildings, while still retaining quirkiness when relevant. Who would want the Pokemon Gym's to look like The Houses Of Commons, after all?
As is expected and central to Pokemon, multiplayer returns. The same great recipe has returned with some differences, such as Wonder Trade. This curious feature allows you to select one Pokemon that will be destined to start a new friendship with someone they and YOU have never met before. This ties in with the friend system. Basically, there are Passersby, Acquaintences and Friends. When you conduct a Wonder Trade with someone their character image and player name will appear on the immediate left of your Acquaintance list (And naturally move along when the process happens again, so that the left-most character is your most recent Acquaintance.). If you decide to conduct some sort of activity with this person again, you will be offered an opportunity to befriend this person-but only if you both decide to add one another to each person's respective friend list. Thus, you will not actually know if they are adding you or not until the results are in. If you both say yes, the process will be complete. If just one person says no, then you will not be able to add them. With friends, you can apparently conduct some sort of game chat. My suspicion here is not validated-it is just a light reference to the fact that I have not been able to try this feature out yet so have not experienced it first hand. Hopefully I can do soon. Another feature that is relevant to this paragraph is the Safari Zone. Yes, time for a Safari people. But do not start noting Pokemon locations just yet... Why? The Safari Zone's mystique lies in it's randomness. Each friend can give you three different Pokemon. Upon entering the relevant house, a dear lady will ask you whose zone you wish to visit. For the first time, that friend will have nothing but blank spaces near them. Once you have been to that friend's zone and discovered at least one Pokemon, you will be reminded what Pokemon dwell in your friend's realm each time you talk to the girl in charge. However, there is one final, exciting feature. Only two Pokemon are automatically available. The third Pokemon is free to be battled and caught only when that particular friend is online. I like this idea-Pokemon is all about randomness. Whether the overwhelming mathematical calcuations that our beloved Pokemon and stats alike, actually refer to, or the random-rigged formula that determines what Pokemon you will encounter, Pokemon is about random, maths, exploring the unknown and doing things when you can as much as when you want. As in, being "limited" to only being able to capture certain Pokemon when your friend is online helps create exclusive moments. Rather than throw everything out in one. Go catch 'em all right now, etcetera. Instead, Pokemon are now encountered in all manner of ways. From short and tall grass and flowers to Friend Zones and Wonder Trades to trades with friends and in-game trainers. The ways of capturing Pokemon are becoming as diverse as the Pokemon themselves. But it does not stop there. Battling has also evolved. Multiplayer battle is brilliant. Smooth, even when playing with someone so far away.
But the battles themselves? You may know that fishing for Pokemon can have you battling a Tentacool or two. You may be aware that walking in grass attracts Pokemon. You may remember that Geodude's and Zubat's like to frequent caves. But did you know that trainers now demand Sky Battles? A new feature has Pokemon that are capable of some form of flight engaging their opponent in the sky!

Do not answer.*
(That is a joke.* You can always comment on anything contained within my blog.)

(Please do NOT.)
(Really, DON'T.)
Notes- Super Sayain and Mega stones are fictional inventions, therefore capitalised accordingly. I debated as to wether I could capitalise "stones" or not, and took my cue from Gamefreak, as I think stones is lower case in the game. However, these are fictional stones, but Sayain is capitalised because it is a noun, and Super is a part of a ficitonal transformation. As always, I mention because I like discussing English, different ideas, thoughts and so on. Not because I am some grammar officer who is trying to "clean" up the world wide web but, in actuality, scaring people into not talking. If you want to capitalise do, if not, do not. English has been through countless changes and should continue to. Language is student to us-not the other way around.

The world at war
Why, I believe we must stop Vladimir Putin. NOW.
There appears to be almost nonstop talk concerning sanctions. This, "remedy," is the chosen force of the Western world, it may seem. At least-for now. Barack Obama wants to sanction this. Europe wants to sanction that. But will this actually rectify the current crisis in Ukraine? Whether they do or not, we SHOULD do something.
I am not well versed in Vladimir's speeches. Nor his ideaologies and ambitions. I have witnessed some individuals, on various websites and forums, refer to him as a "dictator," "tyrant," and even- a "hero." Regardless, if there is an inch of tyranny within him, disaster is creeping upon us all. People are not born as tyrants. Some become tyrannical without realising it. Some are so darn convinced that they are doing the right thing that that innocence compels them to continue ahead, even as people around them die due to their actions, they believe they are right and can not comprehend the suggestion nor seek to entertain such a one, that involves them taking blame for it. Some come to tyranny from other directions, no doubt, as I have never been inside the head of a tyrant so can only begin to comprehend their thinking. But as we say, tyrant is a label, they are humans with unique experiences, motives and so on, so to stop Vladimir I feel we need to understand him. I know my "typically psychological" solution annoys some, but would you really have us play around with the world with no understanding of what we are doing? Sure, we do everyday. We often talk to friends without analysing their current mood, and so on, sometimes we get it wrong, sometimes not. But generally, our friends are not attempting to take over the world. Maybe Russia is not either. But it is important that we find out just what they really do want.
We would like to stop Russia from causing any harm. Not because Russians are evil, because they are not, or certainly not most of the population, but because we do not want war coming from any direction. Heaven knows that our nations-The United Kingdom and The United States of America, are both corrupt. We have problems, we have issues. As I have said before, I can not understand how David Cameron has the temerity to gallop of with Barack Obama on his crusade to condemn Russia. But because we are imperfect, we should not lose our license to send nations to the "naughty step." I was making a point about the audacity of painting a delusional picture of Russia being full of corrupt murderers, while Great America and Great Britain have it all so much nicer. Despite the dissappointing truth, we still should act to contain tyrants. How we do it is the problem. War is a fools game, aside from being against morality, we would never accomplish anything. Sadly, some forget that, hence why wars spring up again and again. Will financial sanctions work?
There is an old reminder, that cornered animals bite. With nowhere to run, or even walk, what would a broken Russia do? Could we be in danger of pushing Great Russia into war? Surely, surely everyone knows that violence achieves nothing. Nothing but pain and suffering. The tormentation of people, the taking away of freedom and the demolition of morality. Not just as the "attackers" attack. But, as those wishing to defend become less restrained and start turning to extreme measures of so called resolution.
-Note: I have read that the rebels in Ukraine and that nations army have agreed to a ceasefire, since I started writing this post. I will post it how it is for now instead of continuing. This ceasefire may well not last but I hope that it does.

I have witnessed some individuals, on various websites and forums, refer to him as a "dictator," "tyrant," and even- a "hero." Regardless, if there is an inch of tyranny within him, disaster is creeping upon us all. People are not born as tyrants. Some become tyrannical without realising it. Some are so darn convinced that they are doing the right thing that that innocence compels them to continue ahead, even as people around them die due to their actions, they believe they are right and can not comprehend the suggestion nor seek to entertain such a one, that involves them taking blame for it. Some come to tyranny from other directions, no doubt, as I have never been inside the head of a tyrant so can only begin to comprehend their thinking. But as we say, tyrant is a label, they are humans with unique experiences, motives and so on, so to stop Vladimir I feel we need to understand him. I know my "typically psychological" solution annoys some, but would you really have us play around with the world with no understanding of what we are doing? Sure, we do everyday. We often talk to friends without analysing their current mood, and so on, sometimes we get it wrong, sometimes not. But generally, our friends are not attempting to take over the world. Maybe Russia is not either. But it is important that we find out just what they really do want.
We would like to stop Russia from causing any harm. Not because Russians are evil, because they are not, or certainly not most of the population, but because we do not want war coming from any direction. Heaven knows that our nations-The United Kingdom and The United States of America, are both corrupt. We have problems, we have issues. As I have said before, I can not understand how David Cameron has the temerity to gallop of with Barack Obama on his crusade to condemn Russia. But because we are imperfect, we should not lose our license to send nations to the "naughty step." I was making a point about the audacity of painting a delusional picture of Russia being full of corrupt murderers, while Great America and Great Britain have it all so much nicer. Despite the dissappointing truth, we still should act to contain tyrants. How we do it is the problem. War is a fools game, aside from being against morality, we would never accomplish anything. Sadly, some forget that, hence why wars spring up again and again. Will financial sanctions work?
There is an old reminder, that cornered animals bite. With nowhere to run, or even walk, what would a broken Russia do? Could we be in danger of pushing Great Russia into war? Surely, surely everyone knows that violence achieves nothing. Nothing but pain and suffering. The tormentation of people, the taking away of freedom and the demolition of morality. Not just as the "attackers" attack. But, as those wishing to defend become less restrained and start turning to extreme measures of so called resolution.
-Note: I have read that the rebels in Ukraine and that nations army have agreed to a ceasefire, since I started writing this post. I will post it how it is for now instead of continuing. This ceasefire may well not last but I hope that it does.
Bionicle returns!?!?!
Rumours have been circulating recently alluding to a return of our beloved franchise. It was discontinued by Lego Group years ago much to our shock.
I have watched a few Youtube videos, looked at images, listened to people's views and visited a lot of Bionicle related websites in the last few days. There have been claims that some individuals have spoken to staff working at Lego. There was a claim that Lego will make an announcement soon. There was even a rumour that a recent convention would unveil new figures (That turned out to be false.). So, all in all a lot has been happening. While it may be the whisperings and at times shouts of fans letting their enthusiasm get out of control and add their own rumours to the mix, that itself is reason to consider that there may be sone truth here. If one is to carefully pull back the cobwebs of trickery that are spun by the very people who wish that this return is true, we may see that the original rumours may have some truth to them. Which would be rather comprehensible given the reaction we have today. One Youtube video regarding the supposed leaks already has more than 10,000 views (Ok, 3000 of those views were mine. It is not my fault that my broadband is so slow that I have to reload a video so many times before it actually plays! -Hope you are reading this Orange.) People all over the world are reminiscing about the time they used to spend building Bionicle figures and watching the movies. One could be forgiven for believing that the community is actually rebuilding itself right before our eyes-but that is not true. The community never died-certainly that is what must be hoped for if this leak is to be true. Which was my point. If Bionicle is to return, the "big, bad bosses" must surely need to be convinced that there would be both demand and appreciation. Demand to have sales going from the get-go and appreciation in order to have a genuine love for the brand and to ensure the continuation of such previously mentioned, albeit, unfortunately, currently hypothetical sales.

Hey!
So, thursday 21st august saw me turn 22! Yes, however has the world coped?
My birthday presents included-X-files special edition comic, Marvel Avengers assorted equipment, hand held USB scanner, stationery (I write so much everyday that I have a collection of nice writing books now, which is good) and lots of other things. One of those other things was a lovely looking special edition Yoshi themed Nintendo 3DS XL! Which was great fun to play, try out the AR cards, and all of the other features. Plus, it meant that I could now play Pokemon X and Y! I have started both games, and are in similar places in both at the moment, being slightly further in one, on the quest for a Pokemon flute to wake dear old Snorlax up! Hmm, where have I heard that before? Nice reference, Game Freak!
I received in the post today a nice Pokemon X and Y themed universal DS case, to house my 3DS XL (It fits nice and snug). I ordered it from Amazon, very recently (As you can tell-it's only the 24th today and my birthday was the 21st so delivery was great!) and so I provided a link for you to do the same, as well as a link of the same version of the 3DS XL that I now have. Oh, and if you want to add me...I shall find my friend code and put it here too!

Well, it looks like Touch Of Youth may be selling at a physical place at a Carboot sale near you...well, only if you live near me. How is that for false advertising? An intersting turn too-my online business expanding into the realms of physicalities, although I always said I would love to have a physical shop as well. No, really. I do not believe that physical shops HAVE to die out. We have a choice here. Online competition is tough but coincidentally, some of the things that some of us do naturally, give us an edge. I was talking to a friendly and helpful representative from a newish company yesterday, but generally I find customer service lacking when it comes to some online businesses and others that have an online presence. With a physical shop I can-hug my customers, propose to them, make wild l- er. What was my point? Oh, yeah. I like touch. Sight too. Although I have always found handshakes to be a little strange, I am even warming to them. So I really did enjoy talking to customers online and experimenting with how to please them online, I would enjoy talking to a person in front of me, helping them find a product, discussing whether they even want to shop here or not...I feel sad not having that. Yes, customers can get lost navigating online stores and may contact you about queries rather than simply buying or not buying, but I like physical aspects. I want the human element retained. I want to see a smile, watch a child pick up one of my products and say- "Mummy, can I buy this please?" I would even love to hear a Dad-"No son, this shop is too expensive." Oh, I would have a great moment. My mind would excel to maximum speed weighing up what to do-Intervene and I risk accidentally intruding one's original intentions, yet debates are great and I could have fun gently showing them other products and having no sadness instilled within me should they choose to leave still. I do not have that. Sure, no products are stolen from my shops but fraudsters exist online as well. I would confidently say that online fraud has risen dramatically in the last 5-10 years, mainly because there seems to be little being done about it.
So I do cherish this moment to host a Carboot sale with my family. Not only do you get to sit under the elusive sun when you have arrived on a sunny day but you get to see the constant buzz of randomners bustling in front of your stall, leaving, frowning, vowing to never look at your stall again and after having walked 3 paces, run back as though each step that they had taken in the previous direction was like a step closer to an oxygen free zone, and so finally, they proceed to buy everything on your stall, and all the other random example. Oh, the bartering and the negotiating. The selling and the buying. It is almost like a non digital digitalisation. Yup. That did make sense. In my language. Sadly, only I understand my language so your confusion is understood. What I mean is that we have digital media, computer software/programs and other such devices, gadgets and innovations, that often replicate, acknowledge, and/or reference, even if in an alternate manner, pre-digital things. Why, we can zoom cars without even going outside nowadays, we can even have an intimate relationship (Apparently) with a digital character, although they are yet to replace real girlfriends (Although I am told Sony are working on this as fast as they can) and one could argue that they are not cars but pixels and that a car will forever be exclusively something physical-but that is up to you (Of note-I mentioned dating in video games, this does not neccessarily mean the feelings are emanating from the person playing, despite the actions and thoughts of their digital counterpart. Also, what of online dating, befriending and so on? We would not call letters fake yet some people feel communicating online, regardless of sender and receiver and their intentions, is not real. The answer with pre-established friends is easy-You know them, you know what they are saying generally, you believe them. I do not believe it impossible to make new friends online, however, it is of note that letters, digital communications of any kind, and certain other forms of communications, do represent, at least some of the time, a "Fragment" of that individual, rather than their entirety. More on that later, perhaps.). So the idea of a market or Carboot sale is rather like your online shop. Think about it-All of these people, even if they are physically stationary, are zooming around looking for something to buy or to find somewhere to buy what they already desire. This is much like a digital version of the Carboot sale, however, as my first business was selling online rather than selling inside of a physical building or outdoor arena, I naturally saw the comparison in reverse. These people who will hopefully be browsing through our stalls are physical symbolism for what happened to me everyday. Literally. As I did not receive a sale everyday the comparison stands rather firm. Some people may walk past your stall. Much like some may avoid your websites without even reading the header, if we want to tie the comparisons to a rock of specification. I will enjoy it immensely, I am certain of that.
In the words of Jean-Luc-Picard!
Make it so.
-The Carboot sale will be in or around Romford (London, I mean Essex...I mean, oh not this debate again) and I will have a sign with some of my Twitter usernames and business details publicly displayed. It may be at the one called "Rollerball." See you there!

Apparently Google have got ahead of themselves-rather, attempting to win a race that is not up for invitation. Now we all know, or at least some of us, that intelligence is a fallacy, the measurement and current understanding of this "Concept." But regardless, and I regret to use the word I hate to- "Never," robots, androids, CPU's, will perhaps never be like Humans. Our brains are not mathematical. Some will tell you they are and indeed that language can be applied to them in parts but in philosophy, in psychology, in the naked human brain, there is no math or science or this or that or do or do not or even possible or impossible. Yes there exists biology, yes apparently food, environmental factors and so on, can play a part but humans are the result (And perhaps animals) of countless, random, unforeseen, foreseen, foreshadowed, unforeshadowed, devestating, joyous, liberating, sad, wonderful, etc etc, circumstances- a big batch of calculations that would crash a computer. Now my argument is not that a computer could not possibly cope with the continous calculations that our brains "Compute" but that might be a bonus thought as well. My point lies within the overwhelming calculations-not the quantity but almost quality, what they are.

I am not saying Aria's dad is A at all but I just watched the promo and seeing Aria's shock when Ezra tells her something gave me the idea that, from an emotionally conflicting point of view, it'd be interesting and that that is why Ezra and Aria were destined to be together, for this awkward moment when he puts her in a tricky situation with the "Truth."

Ukraine and Russia-The struggle continues
So, it continues.
I, as always, never seek to "Capitialise" on events. That does not mean anyone who seemingly "Randomly" writes about Russia, is just trying to get more views to their blog or something, and even then there could be good intentions, life is complex. I simply refer to my passion for trying to change the world and how I am drawn to news, local and worldwide and am careful about what I write about-in that it is always natural, at the top level, and for me, when I think of new thoughts, or old ones to share or whatever it may be, I write it.
I do not mean to alarm anyone and some may argue there may be good coming from it although there would always be bad in such a manoeuvre but can anyone see Ukraine being split up into west vs Russian sections? If rebels keep taking the helicopters, army and general resistance, down, Russia will surely argue that it is time to send in the army to "Take control." America would not allow that, not without big resistance, for some reason I suddenly imagine them coming to some sort of agreement, a 50/50 kind of thing. I am not sure how big Ukraine is exactly, how far apart the two sides could be without treading on one anothers toes, but as a starting point, bigger than the whole of the United Kingdom, I am sure. Any thoughts?
-Capital letters within quotations marks is done on purpose. We are USERS of grammar, not the other way around, grammar a user of us. It is our language given to us all, far and wide, to do what we please with. Do not spoil it by halting innovation, or language would never of been able to change and adapt to where it is now and nor do so again. As it is a seperate word, to touch on it briefly as there are more complex reasons for me doing it too, it is always capitalised by me.

200th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well as I was writing my 200th post...well I fell upon the realisation that it was the 200th! Haha, well ok, that was a bit of epic literature or an attempt, I did not realise until I looked at my blog posts and so started this post to mention that. Right, now. I realise I have no readers yet, my stats suggest otherwise. A glimmer of hope is arising from shy creatures who peer up from their books as they sit huddled in the corner, and cautiously venture out to taste a bit of my surreal(ly), disturbing blog. Rise up! If you are reading this make a comment! I know you are reading! I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (X 1 billion)

Terrorism
It may seem cut and dry to some as to whether you agree in killing or harm for any reason(s), but governments do "Take care" of the problem for us, on our behalf, or try to. So should we demand to take the reigns back, even perhaps "destroy" government peacefully (Yeah I know, work with me!) and all fend for ourselves and thus deal with all of this ourselves? Or do you not mind "Others" harming and killing in order to keep us safe?
Thought for the day.

Hey everyone! Do you fancy reading? I still have 6 drafts saved here, some were created recently as I had indeed begun to randomly post some of the drafts I had forgotten about but I have come to this one now. If I am correct, it was intended to be a comment on a Facebook page/post with regards to a comment that mentioned sexuality in someway. I think someone might of been unsure what the stance on kids were, or saying that "Kids are brought up to be tolerant or not so" and so I was explaining my view, that I had always been "Tolerant." A word I do not like here as it makes me think that they are doing something wrong and we decide, "Ok, we will be tolerant and/or forgive you." It is in my nature to be kind to everyone, why would I treat someone with a different sexuality any different? So anyhow, I think I felt they might not of replied or I should share it here but anyhow, it somehow ended up saved here as a draft. I think my point was pretty much finished so I will not edit it in any way, enjoy!
I see what you mean and your good intentions, just to throw my analysis out- I think children (and not limited to children if it be an area where said person of any age has not developed a view, ideaology etc on it) are not born ignorant nor tolerant. We simply are. A rabbit comes over to us. Do we chase it away or pet it? One boy pets it because his mum told him to, one girl chases it because she wanted to. The complexity of just that "Simple" example alone should not be lost, petting nor chasing does not mean good nor bad by default, it depends on why they are doing it and the reasons they will choose one action or even inaction is down to countless circumstantial events, a life crisis which brought a dad to a determined state to teach his children to always respect life, a pet rabbit dying in class making a girl fearful of death and so treating every creature well fearing they are about to die or even a child with the same fears but chases the rabbit away instead for fear of getting close to someone that will disappear soon. Same for tolerance or intolerance, there is a random combination of events that build us up, however, despite struggles in our life I believe there are points where we can decide if we were not able to before, I do not know...as thankfully I was born at a time where children that said they were gay were allowed to mix freely and I treated them no different, the idea that one could treat someone different because of something like that was not something I understood people ever did until I was older, so I just have to guess how it is for people who have different views as my way of not even seeing it as an issue has always been with me but my point is children are ultimately not taught to be ignorant NOR tolerant. There is no default. Sure we can say babies are pure of heart, undoubtably so, however once you start thinking the game changes. People splinter of into their own words and someday they will decide, no matter what you did or did no teach them, to either be tolerant or intolerant. That is not to say what you teach may not have an effect but that it is not that simple either nor can gurantee any results. The choice is theirs, sitting down and explaining things to them and listening to their views is a good thing but children are born neutral. You may say that a baby smiling so suddenly after birth is contrary to my theory but how? Imagine if the baby was (shivers) dumped somewhere cruelly, that they were not has given the first few seconds of their life a positive influence, alreading turning them into a positive person, this is what happens throughout life forever although more complexly. If you want to know how people end up becoming tyrants read my new book :P

Animal delights.
Another day and another random blog post.
Well I always loved animals and on this Mother's day one of todays conversations somehow turned to Sloths. Yes. Now do you believe that I am not related to my family? Wait, it was me who was talking about watching videos of Sloths months ago, were it not? Ah. So these random creatures are related to Ant-eaters in one way and nothing else in every other way. Er? Anyhow.

I am definitely intruiged by the near-death experiences, bright lights, a sudden urge to practice a faith etc etc. I am not really a believer in God but I spend a great deal of my time debating such ideas (As you will experience if you read my upcoming novels).

New mysteries!!!
Well well well! Who does not know that I love mysteries?
Yes that was supposed to be underlined. Metro were today's courtseous donors of a mystery so it was not from me researching by myself. For once it was a random discovery.
Canadian libraries..

Like the Vouynich (Darn, how do you spell that one?) manuscript, it should be open to the public to solve and not to the supposed "Elite" as if only they could possibly decipher it. If anything, the "Uneducated" would be in a prime position, being less corrupted by state education, not just because the system does not use a modern language but also because to many learning makes them arrogant and cut of to other views and loads of othe stuff that ultimately renders them blind. To the blessed, they know that to learn is not to KNOW something, or definitely not all the time but rather to be armed with another answer. Which is good. There is no system to learn something and be "Master" at it when it is applied somewhere.

Like the Vouynich (Darn, how do you spell that one?) manuscript, it should be open to the public to solve and not to the supposed "Elite" as if only they could possibly decipher it. If anything, the "Uneducated" would be in a prime position, being less corrupted by state education, not just because the system does not use a modern language but also because to many learning makes them arrogant and cut of to other views and loads of othe stuff that ultimately renders them blind. To the blessed, they know that to learn is not to KNOW something, or definitely not all the time but rather to be armed with another answer. Which is good. There is no system to learn something and be "Master" at it when it is applied somewhere.

I have not read them all yet but number one is good. Of course people mean well often but saying something is "Small" represents a misunderstanding of ones problems, thereby cutting them of from seeking help from you sometimes. If someone says, "I broke a leg on my chair" or "She has not spoken to me for a few minutes" do not use your logic, that is the common mistake for these two examples and the other billions if not infinite examples. There is something else going on in their life, they could be purposely or accidentally using said examples as a placeholder for the real event of the cause of pain, it could represent something deeper due to a childhood experience that was similar or countless other reasons. Not just true for anxiety or depression even, if someone is struggling THEY are struggling, therefore THEIR mindset, psychology, life, problems, struggles etc is in play, not yours. So sit down and talk and find out why they are acting the way they are rather then explaining "Do not fret dear, it's just a drink you spilled." Because that is a lie as it is clearly not the case for them. A trap my mum often falls into making.

I talked sometime ago about making a list of some of my favourite websites. Well I do not have such a list here right now but I wanted to do an early share, as I have been writing a lot recently and this one has been helpful. There are a lot of websites designed to count your words, usually by reading text you have typed in the box or copied and pasted from say Wordpad or even a web browser but this one is my favourite so far.
Not only does it count words, it counts EVERYTHING. Well. Sorta. It counts words, sentences, characters and also tells you how many times your most popular words have appeared! Genius. So in one of my books I could see that one chapter had "Light" used something like ten times which is not neccessarily good or bad but of course handy to see and should I decide to replace with another word if appropriate and does not change the intended meaning, tone etc then I can and for other words also. While it will not sure data for all words, if you know a certain chapter or part of chapter that you are suspicious of, copy and paste that and thus you should get a different reading. Check it out, please! Authors. Bloggers. Casual writers. Whoever. I am sure you will find it fun at the least if not also useful.
Favourite sites.

John Prescott is sworn in as president of the world
In a shock announcement to the world, John Prescott was last night sworn in as president of the world.
As the barbarians line up outside the gate, the world fell to its knees in total devestation.
The pope had this to say
"We knew it was coming. We knew not the hour. We did not know the face it would wear nor the weapon it shall wield. But we knew the time was approaching. The Anti-Christ is here."
In other news. Tony Blair has been arrested for trying to fly his personal jet into George W Bush's garden. Apparently he and George fell out over who owned a chess set that they purchased together last year in Britain. Tony Blair did initially resist arrest before calming down.
One source close to the married couple said this- "Tony is fuming. It was clear in their contract that Tony would look after the set for 4 days a week before handing it over to George for the remainder of the weeks days."
A close friend of Tony said-
"Tony is of his rocker...He would make a damn good Labour leader."
More on this shocking turn of events later.

So there I was being my usual thoughtful and curious self, this time having me search for Aliens-God on that vast website thing we use...Well aliens often lead to God actually, someone may tell me that all roads lead to God but aliens and God have quite a connection whether any of it is true or not or whether any of them biologically/spiritually exist also.
I came to this website with this information;
Now the link is above if you want to check it out.
What I found odd was the second two, really.
Shall we go through them? Please share your thoughts, as always.
-He is able to imagine and create objects never seen before. With some examples given.
Well, I have never had an animal mind! Thus one of the reasons I find it hard to defend or dispute this one, however we can wonder. Are animal minds REALLY so different from ours regardles of genetic makeup, biology, etc? hmm.
-He is able to show compassion for strangers? What about animals? Kindness certainly.
-He is able to ponder his role and fate in creation. Now this is interesting. First, if we take that to be referring to that God created them and made a plan for them, why can animals not wonder that too? Because they have never seen Jesus? Who really knows what animals think, regardless of scientific expriments?
Well Imma gonna post for now and maybe add some more later.
I came to this website with this information;
"Genesis chapter one reveals that man was created in the image of God, a quality that separates him from the animals created on day six. This special creation explains why man’s behavior is far more complex than any other living thing on the planet. Man reveals God’s image in many ways. For example:
• He is able to imagine and create objects never seen before (art, buildings, etc.).
• He is able to show compassion for strangers.
http://www.icr.org/special-creation/• He is able to show compassion for strangers.
• He is able to ponder his role and fate in creation."

Soundwave-Proud to be commander in chief of NSA
Well Soundwave, we wanted to sound something of with you, if you can hear us that is. We wondered how the whole world sounded to you recently, jokes aside we wanted your view on events. So people reading this young or old, fans of you or not, can listen as you gently tell a tale that carefully connects people to the dangerous world events going on. So shall we?
"Yes officer. Well we had some situations with Megatron "Grabbing" land as you may call it but he was always pushed back by the autobots."
(Me) So are you...suggesting that Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, may benefit or the world or consequentially, from someone to "Keep him in check?"
"That is not what I was saying...nor is it what I am not saying."
I see...where do you think everything is going next in Ukraine? Some people are speculating a war is brewing and some no doubt that one is already underway. Russian troops are apparently near borders maybe accidentally, frightening nearby countries. Some people think an invasion is planned.
"Well. Ukraine could do with a strong leader...like Lord Megatron, fierce and unnwavering and taking no nonsense from anyone. Alas, that would also be bad for them. For why a mirror image of Vladimir may be the perfect warrior to defend against his might or tackle him, it would end in war no doubt. So a peaceful, perhaps laid back leader but with support from Ukranians may be the answer. As for their future, I fear Vladimir is not stupid. I fear he knows that. I fear Ukraine knows that. So they may call each others bluffs, "We have thousands of Russian soldiers." "We have Europe and The United States on our side." And what happens when one of them actually pulls a trigger? Sadly it has already happened and some people have died. Let there be no more.
"How? How do we do that? How does America, England, Germany....?"
"By showing support, full support for Ukraine."
"What of Russia? Do you not believe in bringing them in from the cold, still?"
"They are used to it."
"Did they ask for that weather?"
"Their actions would appear to suggest such a belief, they have not sought a warmer position."
"Maybe we took all the places?"
"Maybe. But Russia should not be condoned by the world."
"Nor should it be ostrasised. Cancelling G8 and threatening to turn it into G7 and not going to the Sochi Olympics was a big mistake. All it showed was that we do not like what you are doing and instead of trying to help you out with your mistakes we will just ignore you and sanction you at the same time."
I understand officer but there is a sharp call for a strong and decisive movement right about now. People are frightened.
But Soundwave, is that not what caused at least this problem in part in the first place? Russia says via the voice of Vladimir, that it has been unhappy with the West taking over the world so to speak, for a while now and keen for change. Is it inconceivable that Russians were scared? We may think over here in England that it would be foolish to think of the US as a threat but we have lived different lives within our countries and our two have a different relationship. Russia is NOT us and we are NOT them. We may think it easy to see America or at least some of the time, as representing the "Good guys" but to one who is not familar with an aliens language, who can tell a peaceful question from a war cry? Yes some universal human elements link all humans across the world but reinforcing the analogy, America may seem threatening to Russia and Russia in turn to America. But thank you for visiting Soundwave, we may be able to do an update at some point.

Lenovo update
Bought early October. Now February and of course it does not mean you will have the same or even a similar experience but it may be useful for ya :) . So it is more than 3 months old and going strong, laptop users and watchers of those users may remember that months in a laptops life can be like years for us. While some of our joints may not wear for years to come, the creaking of the lid can start earlier for notebooks.
The keys have received no damage and I am a VERY heavy user. The South arrow on my Nintendo DS Lite's navigation pad has faded from use reminding me how easily these markers can come of, but not on my Lenovo laptop, or at least not yet anyway. Of course dirt has got under some keys, I would love to know how you can avoid that given despite what the most delusioned hygiene person may say about the health of their house, our houses are like space with debris floating around us all the time but that my keys are as good as new still shows resistance of some sort and we do have a pet rabbit who likes to shed his fur now and again yet my keys have had no issues due to that despite fur landing ontop of keys all the time, when he jumps up next to me.
Sure, there is a "Sound" to be heard when I open and close my lid, however that is far from creaking. It is simply a sound you get with these types of solid items. If I push my feet against the back of my wooden chair I can produce a similar sound yet the chair is in no danger from breaking, it is actually a sound that strong winds replicate at times from these items, simply a sound not alarming but just how things work in this world even if you have hardly used your laptop, you will get it soon enough in parts.
The touchpad has a strange mark on it however I may of caused that. Also bear in mind the 3 layers. First there is a protective layer, a call for a skin analogy here, even before that sentence previous. I actually used my laptop for ages with it still on with no problems, again nodding to us using our outer skin for contact (Although here the analogy gets contaminated as wanting to make contact with the inner layers of skin is not good yet for our touchpad it is meant to be used with the protective layer off) but I eventually took it of. Sometime later I think I scratched it, so very circumstantial, I am sure any touchpad would of gone the same way but maybe I am wrong. But where it is damaged, I can still have full function! There is a 3rd layer that is smoother than the one above and I would be tempted to destroy all of the layer above were it not so difficult to know how to achieve that. So do not fear, the scratch hardly shows and you can function all the same! Plus with a touchscreen laptop it is even easier to bypass such methods or just plug in a USB mouse, I do not like touchpads anyway, I only end up using it sometimes because it is near the keyboard and already set up.
None of the stickers are torn or peeling of or damaged at all actually. The transparent film they put over the ones on the left hand side is gone now because it was starting to come off so I helped it out, leaving the newly emerged stickers shiny and smooth. The lights under the keys are as good as new still.
Running is exactly as I expected. I have no real problems and if there ever are any they are specific and usually down to the lack of software for my specific request rather than the prescence of an error. Again, speed is reduced to a speed I expected. My daily routing is exactly the same as day 1 and it has been able to cope without slowing me down at all. Things like this of course vary with people, I for instance ask Windows to let me decide what and when to install updates so some things may have a different impact on you along with all the different software you use and other variables. As I hinted out earlier, there has been no real drop in speed which is good considering it is now months old and littered with thousands of files that have been dropped onto that 1 Terabyte harddrive, mostly from my old laptops 500 Gigabyte harddrive. Software has been installed and uninstalled, I have even found time to start playing a few games. Browsers have been constantly launched and relaunched, even crashing a few times but that is not this laptop, that is the notorious downside to Chrome. One of the fastest browsers...but when it goes it goes and do you get problems. However, while we are on that subject I would like to mention Chrome has been well behaved, whether it is because of Lenovo, Windows 8, simply having a new system, something else or some of those combined, it has crashed way under 10 times and that is nothing considering I use Chrome everyday without fail for hours for work, play, research, studying, running my businesses etc etc and on my old laptop it used to literally bring my whole empire to a halt at times. Makes me wonder how I would live with a powercut...
Oh one more thing! PLEASE read this! Now ok, first up. My Samsung laptop was good for sleep mode. Do not get me wrong. Sometimes praising something can accidentally lower another into the depths of hell. It was my first laptop and being used solely by me I got to see first hand the joys of "Sleep" and "Hibernation." Now as we know, as time goes on our laptops age. Of course some if not all of that can be undone and it should be taken into account also that although my new laptop has only slowed down by 5%, that is even more brilliant considering I have just been going about my normal internet life. Therefore not taking real precautions or being as careful as I could always be. Obviously if something says "I have come to make wild love with your laptop and then shut it down forever through a complicated procedure you will not understand mwahahaha" I will not click on it but I have also not got around to neatening file locations up, running a disk scan (I have not done one once or fragmented my harddrive) or any other general help. I also immedietaly uninstalled the infamous-McAfee-let-us-save-you-from-viruses-by-slowing-down-your-computer-so-much-you-can-not-go-online-to-get-infected" (Actually makes sense) Whoops I meant the famous McAfee-to-the-rescue software. So brilliant. I let my dog chew on it. And I do not even have one. So I am using Microsofts built in anti-virus software at the moment. Oh yeah I got distracted! Haha, so my original point was if I have understood my past sentence correct, was that sleep mode is evolved! With my new laptop...seriously...you get an instant on! Really...and it is really impressive as it is a functional on, as my old laptop aged it slowly dragged itself out of sleep and sometimes the mouse does not move at first or something.
Well, thankyou for reading Yoshimitsu! And any other potential blog readers...but none have announced themself...will you ever? Why so silent? How rude :P

Another draft! I will send it like this for now. I hope you enjoy, short psychological thought passage.
I have come to see that sometimes partners are more similar to one another than their children are to both
parents. Infectious psychology.
Where infectious psychology is the observation that partners often without realising and beyond the idea of purposely mimicking, "copy" the other partner in phrases they use, the ways they deal with things and many other countless examples I am documenting. Whereas children often find the need to prove they are their own person especially in families that accidentally make them uncomfortable by telling them they are "So like them (Parent/s)" thus the energy going into individuality may be tripled and the process is sped up. I am a classic example, I could not be more different in so so many ways.

I am a classic example, I could not be more different in so so many ways.
Are mobile phones dangerous? The verdict from this study-No. My verdict-Yes AND No. Please read on.
WHO (World health organisation) warned in 2011 about the risks of heavy and long term usage of mobile phones and I myself reminded people our devices emit radiation and that I once read somewhere that a mobile phone can apparently emit more radiation than a laptop! However, not according to this study. While it does not mention raditaion a great deal it does say a lot of things I find very shocking. Before we delve any deeper one would like to point something out;
"The £13.6 million, 11 year programme has been jointly funded by the UK government and the telecommunications industry."
Also;
"Its findings support 2012 research which showed mobile and Wi-Fi technology doesn't cause cancer and causes no damage to health."
Which is seemingly contradictory to a study showing plants were stunted in ways when near to WI-FI emitting masts.
However, back we go to the former quote. Now, some people start shouting at this point, "Ohhh conspiracy laden lunatically confused person." First, anyone can say anything and whether it is a conspiracy or not is sometimes a label/group of energies created by someone reading and not the person who thought of it. Therefore, with all of that in mind, even if someone is latching onto something you think is highly questionable although often conspiracies are not as questionable as some think (MI5 was shrouded in doubt and secrecy at one point! Although I can sort of see good reasons for doing that if the people at the top did have good intentions), they may also have a point that is for sure true (Regardless, I hate anyone turning someone down, debating and learning from someone else is brilliant), afterall, a man may believe in aliens yet wash his hands everyday from a tap. He subscribes to the same principles that you do that allow water to flow and be at your beckon call the way that it does. 2. That kind of attitude is not helpful or right. 3. Ones who sign of anything because of who said it are sometimes if not always blinded by emotion and other barriers so may not see the truth ever, until previously mentioned obstacles are lifted. Like this;
Person #1- I hate you.
Person #2- Yeah, well I never liked your theories anyway! Stupid Aliens do NOT exist, dumb guy.
Person #3-
Person #4-I do not agree with you but thank you for listening to me.
Person #2-Well, I can see where you are coming from with your alien theories to be honest!
Here we have two seperate conversations, "Person 2" is quite literally supposed to be the same person in both conversations whereas the others are different people in order to highlight how mood can confuse some or "Willingly confuse/blind" themself.
So checkout the link and becareful, I had saved this as a draft for a while so I am just adding and posting it and may add more later.

Here is an interesting Daily Mail article (Shhh that was not an oxymoron) that I stumbled across recently. As it is a Daily Mail article I shall litter this post with grammar mistakes to be one with their "Service." e;kgjfkd;gjd/. There. Now back to business.
So what do you think, when it comes to the whole "Psychic" arena? Here is the link below.

Pretty little liars
So I am going to talk again about the show that my dear friend told me about a while ago. I caught up a few months ago to the modern episodes and so could watch the latest ones soon after airing. I have tried to remember as much of the story, hints, drama, revelations etc that have been revealed in the over 50 episodes or I saw from all the existing seasons in the relatively short amount of time I watched them in compared to the years they spanned when originally aired and recently the final episode for season 4 aired.
SPOILEEEEEEEEERS
Yes Ali, Alison, Alien Alison really is back.
The episode continues straight on from the last one as you may expect, with perhaps a hint of a little time passed, an hour or two maybe. As the girls sit in a building far from home Noel Kahn is revealed to be the person they were shocked to see in what was moments before in the shows time.
Now I am of to rewatch that episode before I write anymore, so I can remember just what happened. While I do, I will post this post so to speak, so you can begin your reading. I shall return shortly with an updated post. Thank you.
Back!
Spencer is playing with ones of those marble motion things that I forgot the name of, before Aria asks her to stop indirectly. As Noel fetches Alison, Alions recounts the past years with new details and this makes up most of the episode. I am sure she still has more to tell though... I enjoyed the scene with Mona and Alison and of course...the final scence. EZRA IS SHOT. Yes I know I know. It could of been guessed episodes ago as it is common in literature and over story telling methods to have a "Bad guy" "Redeem" themself, explain themself etc and generally their atonement will be their final act, Vegeta etc etc. Although just as Vegeta was revived and so can perhaps be argued never ceased to exist from our perspective anyhow, the same can be said for Ezra who no doubt is not dead. They chose to go for an interesting location for the bullet but I am sure not neccessarily a death sentence. I can hear the words "You just missed a vital organ" coming from a doctor at season five's first episode, already.
Well I hope you got to see it! What do you think will happen next?

Thank you to the people who uploaded this picture onto their website and allowed me to "Steal" it for my blog post. If you would like it taken down please let me know, just as I am sure when ABC ask you to take down yours you will also ;) But seriously, thank you. Sorry I forgot to contact you first but I hope you do not mind me using it, unfortunately I can not remember the site I was on but if I do find it again I will add it here if you would like me to as I am not into bribery or anything of that sort :P Just simply nice showing where I found the picture originally. Wow, I only intended writing a few sentences about the picture and now it turned into a story, no wonder my analysis of War and Peace is taking so long...although it took me the first few thousand pages I wrote to really get into it...

The internet war
Now I as always, despite what some may niavely believe, always take great care in what I say, knowing as well as anyone the countless implications and reactions from just one word spoken. Hence why my novels are taking longer to write as I am careful how I go about mentioning the things I am, however I think it might be interesting and wise to carefully speak about a hypothetical war, world war or not, with regards to the crisis in Ukraine. This is not to say a war is starting there, hopefully not but it suddenly reminded me of previous thoughts regarding our modern world.
If war breaks out tomorrow, what role will the internet play?
I am going to submit this earlier than I intended and leave you with that question, I may add more if I can find time!

Thought for the day- When one refers to universities having produced Nobel prize winners and such, it is misleading. What actually happens is they ALREADY had it in them and chose a place to get creative etc, it was not honed there but rather their outlet, whether for finance, materials, friends to spur them on, debate with. or something else. Which is why you can easily make it outside of university, hence those people who have and even Nobel prize winners, if that is how humanity is to judge these days. Also, why attack people "Without education?" Which is incorrect for every single human inexistence but regardless, they can learn outside. Some of us learn naturally and can easily compete at the same level as university students and beyond.

Golden sun-Dark Dawn
Thought for the day
Whatever happened to Tyrell?
Tyrell's crisps
Well it turns out he has started manafacturing his own crisps, no doubt until it is confirmed what role he shall have in a new Golden sun game. He has even added an extra R to his name. Wow, confidence boost.
So while we may not have another Golden sun just yet, rest easy that Tyrell (or Tyrrell?) has another job busy spamming us to try his new crisps.
Fire up the Inferno psynergy! We got some cooking to do!

Well continuing on from yesterday, I have been back at my desk for a few hours now. It is 1:21 am and also I ate today pretty much what I ate yesterday but slightly less so. I did not eat anything after dinner. Dinner today had sweetcorn, potatoes and beef. I think I drank slightly less water today. I am not sure if sleep is catching up with me but I feel more ill physically today. I did wake up quite early though so no wonder, that is the trouble so to speak with going to bed early. Sometimes I wake up early instead of waking up the same time I normally would, thereby gaining extra hours. So no extra sleep for me, less if anything but the routine soon catches on again with my body. I have plenty of time to get to sleep not too late, I seem to be spending my time slightly more efficiently since I started this little experiment.
Well I am actually going to post this straight up right now so I have one less thing to worry about in the morning and I can just add to it anytime. 1:25am.
-2:38 am and I have just been playing my DS. I think I might go to bed soon.

So I am gonna be doing a random typing experiment, a spur of the moment creation within the project and the project itself is too. I may tell you what I had to eat, how I spent my day...who knows...but it will be a live update.
So I have been making changess in life today, well the second day of using my laptop on my desk at night instead of my bed as well.
I plan on going to bed around 2-3, it is 12:53 right now. If I start watching something else I will get carried away and stay up later however I just finished watching the latest episode of Pretty Little Liars so I feel accomplished having caught up slightly with the things I want to watch. There is a lot of noise coming from outside my room still as I am near other bedrooms so unfortunately it is hard to get to sleep until everyone else is sleeping anyway as the walls here are effectively non-existant. It is now 12:55. Hmm, so here is a food diary. I ate quite a lot today. For breakfast I had one fried egg, a few slices of tomato and a few slices of mushroom. For lunch I had a tortilla/wrap from Sainsbury's with a Doritos VERY nice but VERY hot BBQ dip. I do this because even though I seem to have a general problem sometimes with managing to swallow food due to the dryness of the food and/or my throat, it is more with bread type products. Hence why I stopped eating bread years ago although I do occassionally when I am very hungry which I regret immediately. But I do not miss it, bread never had a real taste and was only a carrier for food, hence the brilliant ideas of wraps, they are much thinner and easier to digest, although I do enjoy the really thick ones you can get too and these do not normally provide a challenge for me however just to make sure, I only usually eat wraps if there is some sort of lining available, dip, coleslaw, that kind of thing. So today I actually had both, I tipped some BBQ sauce and spooned some coleslaw onto my wrap. I broke up a chicken slice type product into pieces along with some leafy vegetables that were around I was done there. I selected some crisps which is always a challenge for me. I guess having been brought up on potato crisps most of the time it is no wonder I do not like them now usually, hence why Doritos are almost the only crisps I eat and almost the only ones I enjoy but Seabrook have some nice flavours. There was a Beef flavour but I wanted to stick with the Chives and cheese one this time. I put a few of the crisps in the wrap as I sometimes do just to give it a crunch but I always crush them a bit as they could pierce the wrap otherwise and so as to prevent any eating difficulties. I had a big chocolate bar today-Double Decker. I also ate a banana for it's magnesium. I do not like the taste of most of the common fruit really. I do not recall feeling too tired during the day which is incredible as I went to bed after 3 am again and first awoke at around 8 am. So the high amount of lunch time food may of helped, as I did also have some other crisps that were in a bowl for sharing, although they were not from a small sized packet, I did eat some more of them at random points throughout the day so I may of ended up eating 2 packets worth of crisps altogether. Again, my body fails to reflect this.
For dinner there were some vegetables that are not quite in my mind right now, along with chicken and I have a feeling something else I forgot. I think I had about 3 legs of chicken which is just about managable for me, which says a lot seeing as this is the man who can eat so much everyday but rather perhaps that is because I prefer to have a big lunch and a slightly smaller dinner and therefore can not eat so much at dinner but again that is not set, sometimes I am not doing anything perticularly active yet I am consuming food nonstop without a struggle.
Later on sometime between 8 pm-11 pm I ate a few sweets, a biscuit type product and some other snack like foods. I would say this is the most I have eaten in a week if not longer. I do not feel anymore alert than any other days really however I am not hitting my head on my laptop so perhaps that my performance is consistant with other days (Bearing in mind I am an insomniac so those other days are riddled with sleep problems too) is implying that despite an even more extreme lack of sleep, food has helped stabilise energy reserves and somehow override tiredness. It seems quite funny to me almost as if this was somebody else but I think it was around 2011 when I used to take naps. Now that could make sense in a way, I used to wake up early for college and given that I had no miraculous cure then (Or now) for insomnia, health problems, worries, stress etc etc I was having to not only continue to struggle each day to get up but now do it EVEN earlier so no wonder I collapsed. I can remember slightly how it often went. Sometimes I would be tired in the living room and sometimes I would purposely head upstairs for sleep and sometimes just for other reasons like to tidy my room or reasons unknown but regardless, I would usually just sit on my bed and sometimes fall asleep in an un sleep-like position or sometimes fully embrace the sleep. This was often after dinner if I remember correctly although maybe sometimes before or even both. I think I felt quite awful after, I am not sure how to explain it...but there was a weird feeling upon waking up.
Well it is 1:23 am now. I am not really feeling tired. I wanted to work on some new business ideas but I do not feel like it at the moment. I have some books to finish reading as well. I am actually feeling quite thirsty, maybe due to my heater. I have been drinking much more water in the last few years than I ever used to. As a child I only drank water if it was seriously hot.
All I was doing was moving around and taking items off my bed to put elsewhere and suddenly I was yawning. 1:45 am and I feel too tired to read, I think I will watch something instead if my laptop allows me too as the software was playing up recently. I will see if I can catch up on my Dragonball Z: Rock the dragon set as I am on disc 5 out of 9 now and I am desperate to hear how Frieza sounds on this dub as I can not remember. Ok, the disc had stopped whirring while I was typing the previous sentence. It looks like I may be up for a while as I tend to find it hard to go to bed earlier, I have gotten some practice in recently but I get caught up trying to fix the problem or finish whatever it is I am trying to do and ultimately I end up spending more time on it than other people but come closer to a solution than others sometimes due to sleep deprievation but again, randomly and most of the time I excel on little sleep, it has sadly simply become my life.
Ok, time to load VLC to see if it will play the dvd as I ordered The Company from Amazon a while ago and it still has not arrived so it might tomorrow and then I will be behind on dvds anymore, of course I do not have to watch them in one go in the sense I could watch 5 now and the rest months later but things stay in my head, I enjoy watching them of course but problem or joy, they all add up. Well VLC wants to update itself and it may present an oppurtunity to fix the glitches and the crashing the program has been suffering from lately so I am going to install it and hope that it does not take too long, almost 2 am now.
Well the disc would not load so I took it out and ended up looking at my reflection and noticing just how green my eyes were now (It is a common debate whether I have Hazel or Green eyes, answer-They change, I theorise depending on mood and perhaps other variables at times). I think I may go to bed soon, time-2:24 am.
___________
It was around 3 am that I actually went to bed, with a few interuptions of late night thoughts getting me sitting up to reach for my phone to record them on a writing program.
