okay so maybe i was a lil ambitious...

Yeah daily topics... not working...

NEW TACTIC - write a new post at least twice a week... seems do able :)

SO on to today's post...

The fact that I spend almost all my time on the internet with a Facebook tab open is not a good thing for me... it used to be and now its not.  I don't know why i have to have it open its just basically people telling you about shit they either find funny or about their own personal problems, yes I do this sometimes as well were all guilty of it now and then.

Facebook is a place where you can say that your friends with other people, brag about shit no-one cares about or so you can get the latest gossip about who's sleeping with who or what your ex's from 10 years ago are up to now.

So why do I still need it, I know I'm a creature of habit so that may be partly the reason.  I know I don't really have self-control when it comes to certain things and that may also be a factor but to sit there at this mostly white page and skim down about 90% of bullshit that I don't really care about confuses me, a few times I've considered deactivating my Facebook but I cant do it because:

I Am Dan, and I am a Social Media Whore!

And I know that I am because it came up in a previous conversation after i got Twitter, my girlfriend at the time questioned why I need all these Social Media sites and in honesty because I'm a fickle nosey bastard that likes to know certain news (not all of it) and because I cant stop myself from trying them out.  (Yes I can bring this up because if I'm honest I'd doubt that she would read this and I don't think her family take that much of an interest in my life to tell her so...)

Seriously, started out seriously with a fucking webpage thing of which the name escapes me, then onto Bebo because it was the next best thing ever!  After which I jumped almost immediately onto the Myspace band wagon and then Facebook.  Then I categorically stated that as I had Facebook there would be two things I never got... A Blog and a Twitter! Low and behold what happened? I got a Blog and a Twitter... Now I know I have followers on Twitter but whether that's because im interesting or because I'm friends with most of these people is a different question and that question can also apply to this... I've seen that I've had people visit this a few times since I've had it and been writing the type of random shit that pops into my mind and I've also seen that it comes from Facebook which makes me wonder if these people wonder what I have to say or if they just want to try and poke fun or just being a nosey bastard.

But now... I enjoy blogging even it no-one else reads it, it gives me a chance to put my thoughts down and get out of my head for about 20minutes while I think of something to write about.

If I had a decent idea this creative energy would become a novel or something but I've never been a creative person because I lack the skills musically or with literature or art or anything like that as much as I would like to be I cant so this will have to do for now.

The only thing I would like on this would be some comments signed or unsigned... just for my own reasons of being a little bit egotistical and knowing that some people out there are actually reading what I'm saying.  If not I'm cool with that too and I leave you with this NSFW video that made me laugh earlier on that I found on a Facebook Wall. (It is good for some things)


Damn song's too fucking catchy ¬¬

Throwback Thursday!!

On today's throwback thursday I'm choosing to talk about the amazing cartoon of my childhood :) Dragonball Z.



On of the best shows of my childhood... Took a while for me to get into it and when I did finally watch it my first memory was the episode that included Gohan going literally Ape Shit! and Piccolo destroying the moon.  My expression from this day was in two halves.

One: "WTF? How did he just destroy the moon? What they gonna do at night time?" - I was like 7
Two: "Holy Sh*t this is like the best show on TV!"

And since that day I was hooked, never missed an episode, I came back from school everyday just in time to make it before it started on Toonami (something else that needs to be brought back to the TV)

The reason this is on my mind is because of the amount of anime that I've been watching lately from Tenchi Muyo and about to start re-watching Outlaw Star.

This was just a reminder for you to think back to some of your fondest TV shows, movies, games etc. from when you were younger and maybe relive some of those memories now.

weekly wednesday rant :)

So what's pissed me off today then?

 Well while checking up on news and goings on via my Facebook feed, I came across this interesting story...

Warner Bros. Looks to Ben Affleck for Justice League:
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=93394


And why am I annoyed by this?

I'll admit I've not watched anything that Ben Affleck has directed, but given his track record with superhero movies (Daredevil) I don't think I trust him to bring these iconic comic book characters to life on the big screen.  Now I've made my feelings about the Christopher Nolan Batman franchise very clear! Even to the point that there are at least 2 blog posts here about the Dark Knight Rises. But I'm in two minds about this.  On the one hand I'm pleased that Nolan isn't in the running for this position but on the other hand I think Warner Brothers needs to take on a more seasoned director that understands the characters, their back stories, personalities etc..  My PERSONAL choice for this position would be someone like Joss Whedon .

A Joss Whedon for the DC Universe HAS!!! to be found otherwise Marvel's superhero team up films will always be superior to DC and the Avengers will continue to reign supreme as one of if not THE BEST film of 2012.

I couldn't personally give any idea of who I'd like to see in place of Ben Affleck but the few people I can think of not including Joss Whedon... Zack Snyder (Watchmen & Man Of Steel), Edgar Wright (Scott Pilgrim & Ant Man) and my 3rd choice would be Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass & X-Men: The First Class)

As for actors in the film, I'm going to have to reserve that right until i hear anyone that's in the line-up to possibly play the characters...


But as long as its not Christian Bale as Batman I'm pretty much set :)

Daily Topics :)

Changes to the formatting...

So I've decided that I need to use this more often and in a concious effort to do so I'm going to make changes.  Firstly with the inclusion of daily topics 
5 days a week and as and when I feel like posting something :)  Probably going to follow this type of format:

  • Miscellaneous Mondays - Will include the top 5 things that I managed to find the previous week or something topical
  • Techy Tuesdays - Anything Internet, Tech, Gaming etc. related that I personally find interesting 
  • What I Want Wednesday's - Wednesday is "Hump Day" for most people (if you call if that... Natural Selection's coming for you) and on this day! I'm just going vent whatever I feel like...
  • Throwback Thursdays - This is where I look back fondly on some of the things I used to love like movies, TV shows, Games, Memories ect.
  • Fuck It Fridays - This is an as and when I can be arsed to post anything at all.  No discernible topic might be something that's pissed me off that day or it could be a stupid video that I make while I'm out and about maybe at the pub or in a club :)
So there we have it :) don't really care if this is just for me but it's also being linked to an RSS feed for my Twitter and Facebook so if you come across it on either one... Sub up, Comment and Enjoy :)

Call Me Lil Washuuu Okay?? :)

So in a desperate effort to find something decent to watch I've decided to go back to the classics...




Good Old, Tenchi Muyo!  This was a classic back in the '90s and I watched it almost DAILY when it was on Toonami (Back when TV, Cartoons and Kids Cartoons were good!).  Because the only TV upstairs was in my room me and my little sister used to sit in my room and watch mainly anime shows such as Tenchi Muyo, Sailor Moon and Outlaw Star :)


Those were the good old days indeed :)  But watching them back I've remembered how good these shows were and even now they're making me laugh at times :)


Its also making me want my own little Cabbit called Ryo-Ohki, it's like the cutest pet EVER! :D I mean how can you say no to this :)
