Howdy doody folks! Sorry about the wait for all the art stuff! It'll all be up by either tomorrow or saturday I assure you, but for the mean time I give you the...creations me and my friend came up with during maths. Yesss, we have fun not doing maths in math hehe :)
Anyway, it's kind of a drawing competition, so you post which one you like best and that said drawing will be the WINNER!!! :D
Hey readers... yesterday I was trying to post some remixes my brother made of two my chemical romance songs, they aren't dubstepy or anything, just sped up so much it sounds like a gang of angry chipmunks on helium. As it turns out I can't upload the stupid stuff! Aw well...I'll try again at some other point, so look out for that! Also, I will be posting a few more apple related drawings on monday or tuesday me thinnnks. And I also still need to post that painting I was doing with my gran, but I'm not entirely sure when that's going to happen to be perfectly honest. Anyway, since I pretty much have nothing interesting to post about I will leave you with a song or two, which I thought might be a good idea since a lot of other people seem to be doing...
Hey folks! I thought it was about time I
resurfaced from my world of homework and studying to provide you all with a
post...then again Bobbie did beat me to it so I may as well just shut the
computer down and go back to studying...not!
So, here I was, minding my own business on BBC
iplayer when I came across a gem of a TV program, albeit a gem full of grimy
teenage reality, but a gem non the less. I present to you all, E20! It's a spin-off
from Eastenders, but don't be fooled (for those of you who don't like
Eastenders) its way better than that sounds! But, if you want to find out more,
you'll just have to watch it :)
Hello people of the world! Yes, I know it’s a bit
of a cheesy opening line but for this post I really am trying to communicate to
everyone in the world.
Joseph Kony, who is he I hear you ask; well I was
wondering the same thing as I scrolled down my news feed on facebook. The
latest pop star? Some new youtube sensation? Well all my questions were about
to be answered when I happened upon a 30-minute video. This video disgusted,
astounded and inspired me. I know you're probably thinking that you've got much
better things to do in 30 minutes than watch a video online, but before you
discard the idea please at least, read the rest of this post.
Now I'm sure you are all wondering who Joseph
Kony is and I'm about to answer this question, Joseph Kony is a 48-year-old
Ugandan man, quite ordinary you may think? Well he is also the head of the LRA
(Lords Resistance Army) and one of the world’s worst war criminals. He is
responsible for the abduction of children into his group the LRA. The girls are
turned into sex slaves and the boys soldiers. He forces them to mutilate people
and worst of all, kill their own parents. You may now be thinking, why do I
have to bother? This must only be a few children a year, 50 maximum? No. This
is over 30,000 children.
I'm guessing you're thinking how can I help? I'm
miles and miles away. That’s what I thought at the start of the video. But some
brave and inspirational people have set up a group called the 'Invisible
Children Kony 2012.' They set up this project many years ago, but this year is
when their mission has really expanded. This is the year they are determined to
STOP Kony, to capture him. After hundreds of supports wrote to the US government
asking them to help the Ugandan people eventually 100 soldiers were sent to
Uganda to help track him down and stop him. But this could all fall to ruin if
the troops are pulled out of Uganda. To do this we have to raise awareness and
get as many celebrities and Government Officials to promote this project as we
can! We have to stop the government withdrawing the soldiers! Also we have to
make Joseph Kony a household name. Make him famous, not to support him but to
stop him.
Today I thought I would post you guys an update on the art side of things...well, I have a project in art at the minute and its theme is decay. Cheery I know. But it is rather interesting and involves a lot of apples...going mouldy :P, well drawing them mouldy anyway, it would be a bit of a health hazard if we let them go mouldy in class! Here is the first of a series of apple drawings which I hope you will enjoy!
I have to say I found this book quite good! :) It's one of the best books I've read in a while, although, comparing it to another story set in the future, the plot doesn't quite live up to the hype. This book is about the future world where people are divided into factions and plots to rule the government pop up here and there. The main character is very believable and I found myself immediately drawn to her views on things etc.
I would give this book a...6/7 out of ten. Yeah that's cheating, but I can't make up my mind!
This book was shorter than I expected it to be, it was also less scary and gruesome than I thought it would be as the movie makes it look like it could be quite a thriller. The fact is, the story is a lot tamer than the plot for the movie, probably because it's a fairly old book.
Anyhow, I found I quite enjoyed the story but I think that I prefer the film as it's more exciting than the novel. Sorry book readers out there!!! I'd say it was about a five out of ten and again sorry I have betrayed all book readers for a movie!!! :P
