Chargin' mah laser!

Shoop de whoop! Only some weirdos like moi will get the title. Lets hope some do.
Dammit. Why is it everytime I go to write this I forget what I was gonna write?! Ooooh. I just found a new key on my keyboard... ¬ ¬ ¬... Sorry. ADD and all....
I've been playing Skate 3 recently and I started having a "What if" moment. I have these a lot. Where I begin to wonder what would have happened if I did something differently. And there's a lot of things I regret doing/not doing. Like I regret not learning to play the cello, and I know I can begin to know but it's a bit too late if you ask me. But this particular moment was about Skateboarding. I had no sense of balance when I was younger, a trait I still have, I mean I couldn't stand up on some rollerblades until I was around 9/10-ish. And I couldn't even push a skateboard without falling off (just so everyone knows, I had a Pokemon skateboard. I know. I'm too cool.) But I occasionally did tie it to my scooter and drag people along on the Skateboard. But now I wish I had done more. I was interested, but I didn't have the willpower because, well, my attention span was even shorter than it is now. But I'm thinking I may take it up now. I'd love to see the world in a different way. Like seeing a railing as a place to jump over, rather than it just being a railing. That would be fun.... I also have had a stroke of brilliance to add to a video idea of mine. With a little help of Freddie Wong I now have something cool which I might try to add to a video... Now all I need is a NERF gun, actors and some good effects software.

Cheese Balls!!

I was gonna do a continued rant on the unfairness religious people get. But I'll do that tomorrow. Far more things to talk about.... Like Skate3! ZOMG!!!!! UH-MAZING! I actually love it. So much fun, but when there is a challenge I cannot do I kinda get very frustrated. But as soon as you do it you feel better. I tried for maybe half an hour just to get an achievement for doing a "Miracle Whip" which is basically doing a "Superdude" whilst doing a Frontflip.. I could do the Superdude. But frontflips are hard. Like insanely. Luckily I subscribe to a Youtube Channel named Rooster Teeth. These guys do almost daily videos on games and achievements and they're currently doing some on Skate 3 as well as Red Dead Redemption and Split/Second. They're also responsible for the almighty Red Vs Blue web-comic. I suggest you check 'em out. Just a side note, in Skate3 there is a guy called Coach Frank. It took me a day and one Wikipedia page to find out who it is. It's Jason Lee! A.K.A Earl from "My name is Earl", Syndrome from "The Incredibles" and Dave from "Alvin and the Chipmunks". Legend.


What else can I blog about? Hmmm. Oh yeah. My four year run of having Mrs Fenn for maths has ended. I now have Mr Wight. Mrs Fenn is a good teacher. Really nice. And finally, if anyone reading this is going to have Dinner in Inverness, I suggest a place called "The Filling Station". It's near Falcon Square. Fantastic pizza...

Rawr!

Today's been a rather lazy day, but I did mow the garden. That was fun. What have I actually done today? Oh yeah. I realized how fricking amazing Skate 3 is. I downloaded the demo and now I wants it. I was gonna get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 tomorrow... But that can wait.. Speaking of games, this year is gonna be a good one for them. Coming out this month, Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 and Transformers: War on Cybertron. And then next month, *fanfare* Crackdown 2! I actually cannot wait. It looks UH-MAZING!! And then in September, Halo Reach! I properly cannot wait. This year is gonna be gooood... I actually have a really weird feeling that I want to play Half-Life. Although that it is really unrealistic. I mean Half-Life 2 is. Its like "Freeman, you're only hope. Here's a crowbar" and "Thousands of Metropolitan Police with alien technology, beaten by an MIT Student with a Crowbar"... See my point?

Well, I'm apparently going to a place called "The Filling Station" for tea tonight as a Finished Exam present. But Dad promised me a Bacon Double Cheese-Burger. They better have those.
