AKA ‘Another day Keanu Reeves fools the entire population of the planet that he is actually any good.’ I used to like Keanu Reeves until I realised I was being hypnotized by all the pretty shiny colours made by the special effects team. Keanu Reeves has just about the same acting talent as a ton of solid Oak, he always plays the ‘not saying very much but means alot’ character, apart from his awesome performance in Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure.

I liked him in The Matrix, the first one that is, two and three were piles of giraffe dung. But when I realised how bad he actually is I stopped liking him all together.

ANYWAY onto The Day the Earth Stood Still, apart from Keanu Reeves, I quite liked it, I am a fan of Sci Fi, and I guess this film has some Sci Fi in it, in the form of weird ass aliens who look like Keanu Reeves. So this massive space ship? comes out of nowhere, us noobs here on Earth think its a comet of some sort, until it starts to slow down, land in the middle of Manhattan, and spitting out Keanu Reeves.

ON a side note, ever since 9/11 there has been piles and piles of movies involving some sort of disaster situated in either New York itself, or other major city’s in America.

Cloverfield – The one about the giant monster you partially catch a glimpse of, terrorising New York

Picture unrelated

The Day After Tomorrow - The one about the day that was not actually after tomorrow but more like after the tomorrow after tomorrow which is after yesterday right before next week. Again, set in New York.

(Ok ok, there are others, perhaps I should do more research when I create Blog posts, I am just writing this of the top of my head.)

So lets have a look at the DVD covers for these films:

Coincidence?

Is it something to do with 9/11? Or am I just being one of those weird conspiracy guys that live in their Mothers basement adding videos to YouTube in candle light. Perhaps it is the whole scare tactics thing going on with the media, perhaps the media are producing all these films to keep the nation, or the American nation, in a state of fear.

The next big disaster movie coming out has got to be 2012, which looks like a laugh.

Junk mail, an ancient ancestor of Spam emails..

Just an example of the kind of crap that gets shoveled into my letterbox.

I got this flyer this morning that made me laugh, basically its a Jehovah Witness convention that claims they can answer this question. But I know what the answer is already, believe in God and all that crap and you will go to heaven and what not, but that isn’t surviving the end of the world is it, you will still die. That’s if the Jehovah Witnesses even make it to the end of the world with all their bullshit beliefs like no blood transfusions.

Anyway, if the world was going to end, I would prefer to put up with an eternity of pain with fire in Hell, than an eternity of pain ‘living?’ with Jehovah Witnesses and Ned Flanders in Heaven. Going with these beliefs, anyone who lies will go to Hell, anyone who drinks will go to Hell etc etc. Which means no interesting people will be in Heaven. It will be full of people dressed in smart clothes, ‘knock knock knocking on heavens door’ asking to convert you. Who would you rather have a conversation with, Charles Manson, or a Jehovah Witness?

By now you probably think I am an atheist, but I consider myself agnostic, because if atheist means for sure you believe there is no God at all, then aren’t you just as bad as religious people? How can we possibly know for sure there is no God.

On a side note, this is how mad religion actually can be, if taken so damn seriously:

“Repent dummies”

Fred Phelps, the pastor of the God Hates Fags church is a strange fellow, who I believe is actually homosexual but in denial, if you think about it, it makes so much sense that he is Gay, and so insecure about it he decided to create a church that ‘hates fags’ just so everyone will immediately presume that he is not gay. It is cruel what they are doing to those children, filling their heads with this crap. How can you possible think that what they are doing is right, I just don’t understand it.

Oh, and is it just me, or do those kids sound like South Park characters?

I have been let loose with a drill and some screws!

This time I decided to make a stop motion camera rig, out of old shelves. After seeing animations such as Muto on YouTube, I wanted to have a go myself. Well here it is:

The screw that the camera attatches to

Now all I need is a whiteboard. Using paper would be ok too but I would need to use alot of paper, 12 pieces per second of footage actually (12fps).

The time has come to mod the 4gb Flash Disk I got given from my college. Its just black, and rectangular and boring. So I decided to combine my favorite past time toy with it….LEGO!

Before:

YAWN

So after using magical pliers that I still have from when I used to ‘play’ Warhammer, and some nail glue (couldn’t find super glue), I had a finished USB Drive!

Does everything a normal USB can…it goes in.

Pretty awesome hey.

PS

I hate super glue (or nail glue…same thing) I ALWAYS get it on my fingers, and it feels like it isn’t my skin.

So I don’t play my xbox 360 anymore. So I decide to sell it on eBay. But I am missing one thing, a box and sellotape.

I managed to find a box, well I had to CONVERT an old crate of beer, turn it inside out and patch it up. The only tape I could find was electrical tape, but that will have to do.

Here is my attempt.

Skillz

Okey so it wasn’t just one role of electrical tape.
