4:31 pm	Photographs ^^ Here is seven more photographs that I like, so many to choose from though. I'll have to find some place to put them all ~ Some random buildings, look's quite incredible... never been in a city like this: This place was cool, huge White Pagoda: Beijing Zoo had panda's! Yay :D Although they were the best kept animals in the park, some of the other animals were kept in horrible conditions, I didn't really like seeing them all that much: Hotel Gardens, apparantly the hotel was built for a famous movie, with the gardens being a central part. Really was a nice place: Great Wall of China again, love this place... got so many photographs of it: Looking out over the city: This is the Forbidden City, behind Tiananmen Square. Such a huge place, you really can't imagine anybody ever living here... but someone did at one point: :D Current Mood: photography :P Current Music: Ben Folds - Landed

9:00 pm	hello there I got back from China a week ago, had the most amazing time of my life. Utterly incredible, word's really can't describe some of the things I saw there, and even pictures will never truly describe the sheer brilliance of some of the sites in China. I felt sad to leave, the first country I've visited and felt like that :D So obviously must have had an impact on me. It's really different there, an entirely different culture... and I can imagine some people couldn't fit in there at all, but i found it a joy... the people are wonderful, and despite the obvious language barrier they make their best effort to speak English and help you out. Apparantly they are trying to teach thousands of new English speakers in preparation for the Beijing 2008 Olympics... Oh yeah, that's where we were staying. Beijing is great. I think it has a great balance between more traditional and modern day China. Other cities like Hong Kong and Shanghai are far more modernized (or so I believe) So Beijing had some fantastic traditional sites to see, and was especially close to the Great Wall of China... which truly is amazing, it's 4000 miles long and so many people died making it ~ their bodies mixed into the bricks... ew :O Here is a smaller version of a photograph i took: I just started learning to drive, quite alot easier than i expected. I think that maybe if you manage to reach 50mph in 4th gear on your first lesson your not that nervous behind the wheel. Infact, i loved it. I had this weird rush since I'd never done it before and was going so fast... heh, i could have died :D Can't wait till next Monday now actually. Only thing that is annoying is when you come to a junction, i'd be happier to just stop but she reckons you gotta slow down and roll forwards, i dunno maybe i miss heard, but that kinda scares me a little. I also had an eye test today, since my eye's have been abit crappy with long distance stuff, and hey i need glasses for driving and stuff like on computer / reading. Not like all the time, but certain activies require them... especially driving i guess since I wouldn't notice the Mayor's daughter playing football in the road as i'm peacefully taking my second driving lesson :O Ha, seriously though they ain't that bad. Just a little blurry sometimes, especially with text ~ I need to be able to read road signs i guess :/ Got me a new camera too. Pentax Optio S5n (here it is http://www.digital.pentax.co.jp/ja/compact/optio-s5n ~ sorry it's in Japanese, first product page i could find on Google) It's awesome, i love taking photographs, and it was about time i got a new camera :) I'm really happy with it, more than i thought i would be... I could really go for some cucumber crisps right now. Yeah that's right cucumber flavoured crisps! God i love China ;) Current Mood: :D Current Music: No Regret Life - Nakushita Kotoba

11:12 pm	Oops, kind of forgot about my LJ... although in truth even if it had crossed my mind sooner there isn't much to say (words that are probably being uttered on most LJs) Did watch Supersize Me a week or 2 ago, whenever it was on... and the best thing about it was when some professional looking guy said that he is waiting for the day that fast food eaters are pestered like smokers are in public, since fast food is just as bad for your health as cigarettes. He makes a good point, although the only problem is why'd those that oppose junk food be strutting into McDonald's or wherever to shout at people, and if they just went in there to do that they are rather dumb :3 Bit late, but my friend Krystal has posted my Birthday present, which apparantly only just got to her house :) Yey, although nearly a month later on from my Birthday... ah well, she's a sweetie so i forgive her :D Star War's is out soon, which reminds me to buy the DVDs which i lack. More importantly a DVD i don't lack is Cowboy Bebop The Movie : Knockin' on Heaven's Door, i'm going to watch it again tomorrow since it's a really good film, a film which i own an original UK cinema poster of... much cooler than the reproductions you can buy. Yes, about all i can be bothered to type since my arms are numb with injections that protect me from various Chinese dieseases, since i'm visiting China next month. What a boring entry :3 Current Mood: rawr Current Music: Sethian - Love Under Will

12:54 am	DDR = teh shiz Okay DDR (Dance Dance Revolution, actually called Dancing Stage Euromix or something in Europe) is fucking mental, one minute your like "man that game looks whack, wanna play" and before you know it your dancing like an idiot to some repetitive, Western / Japanese mix dance tune with people going nuts! Not actually played DDR much before and me and Rosanna were playing and after one 3 round game i was scoring combo's only matchable by Jesus Christ himself... well maybe not that good, but 71 in a row is pretty neat. This is what it looks like, yeah crazy huh? But that don't matter. Dunno how whoever is playing in that image got a combo of what looks like 253... must be some mental non-stop mode i didn't have the balls to play. Played one song on Expert mode, and it's actually mentally impossible to make your body move to the beat... Anyway tonight I went Bowling with work guys, pretty much everyone who works there... was actually surprisingly good, considering i didn't plan to go until Andrew talked me into it, then we talked a bunch of other people to as well >:D I have a headache... either too much DDR, or not enough, eg withdrawel symptoms. *Considers buying dance mat* Christ what am i saying, it must be all the beer i didn't have talking... that or subliminal Japanese businessmen in the game making me buy stuff :/ laters...

10:37 pm	Yo-ho-ho It's my birthday today, and i went to work... incredible. I actually didn't tell anybody till about half the day was over, some didn't even believe me... *amazed* Anyway, back to real life... I keep doing webcam conversations with 2 of the coolest girl's ever from Texas, well actually it started out with just one, Krystal who i met on a forum, and she showed me her friend Kayla my picture who thought i was cute, so she wanted in with the action so to speak, so we've been doing that for the last couple of days together... rather cool, and really funny! It's strange to see, and verbally speak to people half way across the planet... nevermind, welcome to the internet. Not alot to say i guess, or no pictures to post... I have however been listening to some really weird stuff lately, mainly due to Krystal sending me stuff i like when i hear it over the mic convosations, eg quite alot of Metal, Rock, Techno, Country and some crazy game / pop type music. Weird huh, nevermind. I'm surprised she'd never heard of stuff like Basement Jaxx, Daft Punk, The Darkness, Lemar, FAKE?, Tenacious D or Rage Against the Machine... kinda bizarre, especially Rage Against the Machine... I honestly would have thought most Americans would have heard of them. So long... also Just realised i've had this journal over a year, coz i remember bitching about my last birthday on here (deleted that entry though...)

9:53 pm	What do i look like, a guy who's not lazy? Contrary to what the subject says i'd consider myself pretty hard working, especially at my place of employment. Hell, usually outside of work i'm pretty darn lazy... but being lazy sucks, i've started to become less lazy just so i get more things done. I guess having a job shows your not that lazy because your actually willing to work for your money, rather than claims the benefits [lol] Maybe i'm a few pegs up in the pyramid of laziness, not too high mind you but atleast not too near the bottom. That has no relevance, just humurous... I could write a list as long as my arm, and perhaps further about things that annoy / anger / frustrate / contemplate suicide at work, one of my main gripes is the fact that usually, unless your one of those people that seem to go shopping every fucking day, you only really come shopping once a week to buy in the region of £100 + food, so you could atleast try, if not force for my sake to be just a tiny bit happy. What it is with angry shoppers, just cheer up... it's almost as if they deliberately are driving to shop and glance at a reminder post-it note that has a list of crap on it to remember, and one unticked little gem is "act like a fucking asshole in the shop"... then they slap their forehead at the thought of nearly forgetting to try in every way to make my shift more of a pain... got nothing better to do? Suicide. Your only option really, that or make mine and your own lives a misery until you die (or I quit, YOU still have to shop). Anyway, i ordered Resident Evil 4 from a website called, well i forgot the name but it was something like "simplygays.com" something like that, i presume they registered such a homosexual domain name to conotate the manner of business and customer support they utilise. Anyway, why i hate them? I ordered it as "In Stock", which to me means "OMG if i order now it'll be here in like... 2 or 3 days! zOMggggg!!!1 But infact, contrary to what the website says i receive an email saying their stock system updates every 24 hours (what is this the Bronze ages you fuckers) and that the game isn't infact in stock like they said, and it'll take like 2 weeks to come. I could swim to America, or wherever the game was made and steal myself a copy of the game quicker than that. In closing, i actually have nothing else to say... but i felt like sounding special by using one of those age-old finishing a letter style tag-ons, you know the thing, shame they are suppose to be more of a round-up or a summary rather than me just talking absolute shit.

9:58 pm	I wish i could draw What's better than buying a comic book, or a manga is when you read webcomics that people work hard on, and publish free onto the internet that have amazing artwork or incredible writing (and usually both). I recently came across an awesome webcomic that is both quirky, intelligent, and will leave even a really good writer thinking "damn, if only i did that"... That, and the artwork is really cool in some of the strips, the style changes from strip to strip, with various strips using the same character designs for continuity. Anyway, here is the first strip i saw, posted on some website... truly hilarious: How good is that? Some of these strips are just incredible, they made me laugh so hard... infact, every single strip atleast got a chuckle from me, which is a good thing. Better yet, the site is still updating, and the quality shows no sign of slowing down. Check it out: http://www.cheston.com/pbf/archive.html Alot of the strips you'll read once, then have to skim back over to truly get it... great stuff...

5:12 pm	Hehe I used to use the internet loads, but it's so boring now... All i use the internet for is chatting, downloading stuff i probably shouldn't and playing games online... and what makes all of those things suck is the fact that with each of them have there downfall. For example, chatting... unless you actually know the person in real life your more than likely talking to a 40+ male who is probably married with kids pretending to be a girl ~ infact, this reminds me of a story I read of how a girl was chatting to an "18 year old, male, hot" the usual bullshit, and went to meet him. She was like 16 / 17 and happily went along to the meet and the person she met was none other than her own father... ouch, that would suck so hard... moral of the story is : Don't talk to anonymous losers on the internet. Basically, to stay safe if you use the internet too much this image sums it up: Hehe, the internet is awesome for this kind of image... makes me wander just who the hell took that photo, and why? Amazingly enough this goes for any of the other crazy shit you see on the internet, just remember that a real person actually spent time doing whatever it is your looking at, and no matter how messed up it is, someone really is that fucked up!

4:23 pm	Come on, atleast get creative for once Okay, like everyone in the World i've used eBay a few times to buy stuff i probably don't need. But after the buying or selling or getting ripped off is complete, you have to leave feedback for whoever you brought or sold to, or swear at someone for ripping you off. Anyway, i wish people were more creative... Here is some example of boring, unimaginative, feedback: Yawn... how boring i actually fell asleep for a moment, and notice the trend of people grading it with A+++... come on, we're not in school you idiot and besides that it's stars not plus symbols, and even if you do use stars like one guy did... you can only get one star on an A... christ. Worst feedback has to be the bottom one, come on... lack of effort, you fail at eBay, atleast write something rather than give some shitty grade that means nothing, only symbolises your lack of everything. Anyway, here are some awe inspiring feedback given by me, which makes these pieces of copy and pasted garbage look like crap: Yeah, i kick ass :] Some may say it's a little lame, and i must agree slightly... (perhaps i need help?) but what'd you rather have, something you've read over and over, or some little funny feeback that'll make you laugh? And hopefully when they read my kickass feedback, it makes them feel guilty for giving me such awful feedback :[ Personal favourite is the Superman one... Infact i just gave that, made me wanna write this whole thing. Current Mood: My mood is A+++++++ OMG! Current Music: The Pillows - Calvero

4:58 pm	ZOMG FREDDO! Cadbury Freddo's kick so much ass, they cost ten pence... you can find that sort of cash on the floor. Why pay forty pence for some shitty bar, when you could be eating four delicious Freddo's? You must be a proper loser to not buy Freddo's, but instead put your hand over the box of Freddo's to reach and grab a shitty Mar's bar or something equally as terrible. Check it out, Freddo's have character... heck, Freddo is even GIVING YOU THE FINGER on this bar... he has no limits to his awesomeness, and doesn't give a shit if people are offended by it. And who doesn't like cartoon frogs? Nobody, and if you disagree your either disagreeing because you think it's cool to disagree, or your just an idiot.

7:50 pm	LOL So, your a 30 year old man, and decide to get a comfortable job at the ammusement park... sounds good, but not when your sent out in the parks cat costume to dance around all day, only to pass out due to exhaustion because your being forced to work 8 hour shifts in the burning heat... or atleast that's what i speculate happened in this photo: LOL, shouldn't find it funny... but i do... why? Because laughing at someone elses misfortune is, although kind of cruely (but you can't disagree) rather hilarious!

10:21 pm	Will Smith kicks your unborn childs ass Man, whenever I think about Will Smith, I just imagine this floating aura of manly coolness. I'm not going to go into some homosexual-esqe bullshit about my love for Will Smith, but damn the guy is awesome. If he isn't rapping some fly shiz lyrics, he'll be acting some awesome role in an awesome film / TV series / whatever. I mean, he's done so much stuff... just think of a decent film and he was probably in it, and if not the film probably lacked abit of Will Smith which made it shitty, and even if you hate the few shit films like iRobot that he was in, you can't help but love his role in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ~ which I might add I ordered on DVD yesterday :] That show makes me laugh so much, I wish i could have been in that show sometimes, but then i realise i'm not black and all they did was rip white people... which was hilariously degrading, man that show was awesome... I can't wait to watch them on DVD again, and i hope BBC2 re-run the series again just so your average jackass can watch it and love it too :] This was one of the less homo-erotic Will Smith photo's i had the little choice of posting, doesn't he look cool? Only the coolest kids wear their baseball cap that high, or is it his towering afro making it float mysteriously? Perhaps just his aura of manly coolness at work yet again...

1:12 pm	Yeah Calvero, how do you feel? Okay, the other day I mentioned how i saw a blind man shopping, but on TV lastnight I saw something EVEN MORE bizarre. It was a live performance by a band, perhaps on a TV show, but it was being signed for deaf people (know when you get a little person in the corner doing the signs). Just made me think it was really bizarre, because you can't exactly watch a song, you have to listen. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for helping people with disabilities, but that is just plain crazy... do you not agree? Anyway, enough pointlessness, I need to eat, then play MGS3 some more... Oh, and I randomly came across some forum that mentioned stuff about a Metal Gear Solid movie (obviously there isn't one in the making) but it had some cool pictures of Tom Cruise in comparison to Solid Snake, looked remarkably similar :P Current Mood: MGS3 Current Music: The Pillows - Calvero

8:47 pm	Weird things! Ever seen something bizarre, that make's you question reality? I did, I saw a blind man shopping, and I had to sort of look around to check Jeremy Beadle wasn't about to pop out and laugh at me with his hidden camera team. Truly bizarre! Unless of course his blind dog was directing him to the food? I don't know, truly is an unsolvable riddle. Anyway, back to MGS3... kick some ass, it's pretty satisfying sneaking out of the grass, grabbing, stabbing, then replacing with the spot my alive body laid in wait with the getting cold dead body of, probably a pretty decent guy, who just happened to be in my way :[ heh, so evil... but so tense.
