Well hello there!
How are we all? Apologies are in order as I've been a tad preoccupied with my fathers surgery. Everything went well and all is good!
So I'm having a real hard time understanding the need for the reality tv dramas!
We have had shows such as: Made in Chelsea
Towie (Geordie Shores)
Some other one
and now Desperate Scouse Wives?!!?!?!
WHY!!!!!!
It really annoys me that people are becoming famous and getting paid millions to be on screen, with no acting ability, with the most annoying personalities and faking it so much but are doing well for themselves.
Now don't get me wrong, well done to them for doing it, but the number of people that watch it and think it's real is incredible! Do people not have enough drama in their own lives?!
Why do people like watching it?! (rhetorical)
I know, I know, humans are curious and stupid and nosey, and love people being put into turmoil, and are all the flaws you see written in the list of sins but what was wrong with sitcoms and dramas on television? Eastenders, Coronation Street , Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and I guess I'll put in Waterloo Road.
Yes I know it's cheaper, to do "reality" tv dramas like said shows, but the fact that people will always say how bad it is and still watch it...
WHY?!?!!?!
ARGH!!!
Ok rant over, and time to go over to some better news, as I'm typing this up Liverpool have gone 2-0 up against Aston Villa courtesy of Bellamy and Skrtel.
More news of a new planet being discovered that maybe inhabitable! yay! New planet to ruin! :D
Another planet in the Kepler-22system has been found to be habitable! However further readings are required to check whether it is actually habitable, IOW, whether we could even stand on the surface or just sink right through to the core and die...
Click here for a more clearer story.
So we have a new camera that records Photons moving.. DAMN!!! light is essentially made of photons moving and bouncing of objects and into our eyes giving us the ability to see objects. Well now this camera has the ability to see these particles!!! can you image how smooth the slow motion video would be!!!!
For a full story check it out here
And continuing with the Science!!!
"Higgs Boson Particle! How did you not get that!" 10 points for whoever got that one! leave your comments below and I will give you a hug :D
Anyway, the possibility of the particle existing has come to light as the scientists at the Switzerland Hadron Collider found bumps on the graph that shows the possibility of the "God Particle" existing.
What does that mean? That's right! I have no idea...
And we yes it is Christmas which means only one thing!!! More suicides, more debt and less christmas lights..?
Apparently Christmas time has an extremely high suicide rate with many people finding themselves not able to participate in the fun of gift giving and become more depressed due to high debts.
People are going further into debt with more companies willing to lend money and with the Christmas festives, more people are considering it.
question is, what's wrong with making a present? Charity shops have brilliant little things that you can put together to make something rather than having to spend a fortune. Also the spoilt little kids that demand extortionate priced gifts for xmas. The number of parents just willingly say ok to their kids after they ask for ridiculous presents such as PS3's, Xbox's and Latest Apple products rather than considering their own financial position. Seriously? A 10 year old kid is currently controlling you?Well done, you succeeded! Now I'm not saying every family is like this but it's scary how kids can get their way these days.
However fair to them, I would have tried the same. Shame my parents were Chinese and very traditional. I wasn't even allowed down to the park that was only 2 minute walk from home 'til I was 14 -.- no joke...
Anyway, that is my random pile of crap for the day, Merry Christmas and I shall see you later!

Jobs Aren't the Only Thing Not Coming Along...
Hello and welcome to a rather late blog!
For those who are not a regular reader, this is a new revamp of my previous blog..
So last time I spoke about the lack of jobs and now lets say those are not the only things not happening in this week and so on.
Last week we saw the world turn upside with the craziness of black friday, everything going on sale with ridiculous reductions on everything, but in England... not as insane as everything was still expensive anyway. Except that which was already useless and cheap anyway...
Other things
We saw a huge rise of protesters around England over the pension and there were some animals that got stuck up a tree. Not kidding....
And Pandas are on their way to Scotland, Edinburgh Zoo!!!
AND
Oh and hello to my Nigerian friends! Thanks for checking this out... and most likely read it and left... :(
I guess I should mention Xmas is round about this time of year too right.. HELL YEAH!!!!!
So first off, long time no see, well not that I've ever seen you guys but how's it going nonetheless?!
I've started a temp job, not the most exciting of jobs I can assure you, BUT it's keeping me occupied once or twice throughout the week and getting some kind of cash in the pocket. Not a lot, but enough to start saving from.
I'm heading off to university, hopefully Birmingham City University in 2012, (if the world doesn't end) and starting a masters which will cost me a ridiculous amount of money and cause me to have a tumour if not a hernia. However if this does not happen, I shall be heading to Sunderland University as I've already been accepted but the Birmingham City University has a better course and seems more connected into the media.
So working at o2 for a temp position, it's been fun so far! Staff are great and o2 aren't that bad!!
Not using product placement or anything, or any form of advertising but it's just been fun learning about the different things. Also The phones, slowly getting the hang of it and all I can say is NO ONE LIKES THE BLACKBERRY.
Everyone that has come in with a broken phone is always a blackberry! They keep switching itself off, it dies, it doesn't react anymore, nothings working. The usual.
And I know one little lady friend of mine who had gone through about 7 of them in less than 6months and is still happy to get another on, time and time again... Do you not get the idea!!!! IT HATES PEOPLE AND APPARENTLY PARTICULARLY YOU!!!
So get an android...
Iphone of course is great but it's so much more of a toy for kids than anything, and who is seriously going to be in the middle of town using SIRI???
SIRIOUSLY!..
See what I did there...
woopa!
My question is how many people actually use the Smartphone for more than watching youtube videos, playing games and pissing around with SIRI or webchatting?
"That is the purpose of a smartphone!!" I hear you say, well ok granted that is true but do you need to be watching your screen while waiting for the bus? Was it really worth paying £400 for something you're going to replace in about a years time? Come on! I'm not that old and I still think it's silly being able to do all this on the go because it causes some major distractions!!!
In the next year or so, accidents will increase by 1000%!!! ARGH!!!
Ok maybe not that much but I can imagine it becoming worse.
Also more people will be diagnosed with ADD. (Attention Deficit Disorder)
Means more people will wonder off as they're unable to focus for a normal length of time, just to cut the explanation short.
Anyway gotta stop the rant before it goes off topic and round in circles!!!
So the protesters!! Man what a week! Everyone's going off on one about the pensions, yes I sound ignorant but I'm young and will be until I'm old and realise I need it but to be honest, the times have changed and the pension needs to be changed.
Please can someone correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know the real low down of this whole thing. I'm merely saying what I've been told about the pension scheme in the UK.
Pension scheme started after the World War II to help the people back onto their feet, where the age expectancy was low enough for the government to handle with the money that was coming in.
Now-a-days, with the advancement of technology and medicine, people are living far beyond that age that was set in the past meaning the amount pouring in the pensions has increased a lot through out the last 50-60 years.
Now instead of progressively updating this pension with the times it has stuck thus people are agitated that they're being cut by a huge chunk now.
Now in those days we lived in extended-family structure where the elderly are taken care of by the younger generation while in these days, we are encouraged to live in nuclear family structures where we only with our immediate families.
This makes it more difficult for those on pensions to live since they are no longer dependent on the younger generation to provide for them while using the pension to help them. Instead they're living in a house on their own which the pension is unable to pay for.
The government was never meant to solely provide enough for the elderly but to help the family take care of their own families.
Does that makes sense? Please don't argue with me, to be honest if that made any sense to you well done because I'm just regurgitating what I've been informed.
Before this existed people survived by providing for the whole extended family. Kind of makes sense doesn't it?
So in the end it's the governments fault right?
On a lighter note! Pandas are going to Scotland! YAY!!!
Finally Pandas will be seen in the UK since... ages... ago...
Anyway! Yeah could be a good thing, hopefully the weather's nice enough for the bears, yes they're bears... remember?
These are all bears... just to clarify :PGot another rant for next time but I'll leave it on a good one :)
Hope you all have a good lead up to Christmas and hope for a White Christmas :D
Until next time! This has been Andy Lai, Signing off!
