Modern Superstitions, Teeth and Television

Have you ever gotten annoyed at an older relative/friend or just someone for being superstitous? Its a bit odd, "knock wood" and "don't walk under a ladder" isn't it? But are you part of modern day Superstitions?

Have you ever received a chainmail e-mail? Probably... most people who have an e-mail address have. And did you pass it on when it had a threatening message at the end? Well, my friend... that is being Supersticous! Yes, you might have known that, but a lot of people don't realise! Wearing lucky things is also superticous but that has dated back a long time ago...

So, if you are ever annoyed at old superstitions, remember, chainmail is as well!

Okay, well, teeth. Why do people never say that they are just bones. It is always "Bones and Teeth" THEY'RE THE SAME! Okay, sorry about that I just had to mention that.

And another question... why do people talk about "Lazy kids whop never do anything but watch tv" and are referring to teenagers? Studies show that the age between 13 and 17 is the age group who watch the least television... who that sort of talk makes no sense. Yes, some do watch television all the time, but not all teenagers do!

Sorry, just some things on my mind....

Peace and Run.

Smithy will Rock the Whoniverse with his bow-tie!

At the moment I have found myself absolutely, utterly ocessed with Doctor Who. Yes, "ocessed".

Ocessed because so many people consider themselves, "obsessed" and "ocessed" is past obsession. Far past it. If you were standing in Cardiff in Wales outside Torchwood 3, then I would be standing in several parallel universes away in Australia. Okay, I looked up ocessed on the internet and it says something to do with sugar, but basically, ocessed as I mean it means "Past obsession". Because "octillion" is a big number, right?

Ocession: noun. (ocessed, ocessionised) def. Past a normal obsession.

So... the big news is:

Doctor Who series 5 filming has now begun

Yes, series 5 filming has begun, the Doctor's new outfit has been revealed and so has his new companion's name... so look away now if you don't want to know anything about the doctor's outfit or the new companions name...




So, the companion will be called Amy Pond. And she will have a "laid back" look and the details about her family and how she meets the Doctor are unknown by the public. The BBC has been updating their website with some new photos and the Outfit Gallery of all the past doctor's outfits.



So that is Matt Smith and Karen Gillan on the first day of filming. And I don't really have very much to say.

Peace and Run!

Summertime

The summer term at school always seems the longest. Probably because it is the longest term but also because it is the massive wait until the bliss of the summer holidays! Ah, six weeks of doing nothing at all or everything you can't do when you are cooped up in school all week. Just a chance to relax and catch up on your favourite television program or listen to the radio.

Today is the first day of the holidays for me, and I am bored out of my mind.

I woke up at 7:00am because I forgot to switch off my alarm clock last night so I could lie in... and I haven't been able to go back to sleep. I have been up for 5 hours with nothing to occupy me. It is boring.

I should be relaxing! And I can't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is very frustrating. Then Mum woke up and came through to say, "Morning" and I told her I was bored.

She said, "Tidy your room then"

And I have to tidy my room now. This hasn't been a good start to the summer.

Ankles and Slinkies

Ankles, ankles, ankles.

Deary me! Ankles are probably one of the WORST places you can hurt yourself on your body, (well, sort of) because it can take the longest amount of time to heal. They are also painful and you find it hard to walk on them... so in effect, you walk with a limp and damage other parts of your body (mainly the other leg and your back) thus making a never ending cycle of misery!

Just to let you know, I pulled a ligament in my right ankle on Tuesday during basketball and had to stay off school on Wednesday, because it was too painful to walk. Today it has been a bit sore but my trusty Converse has saved me because they supported my ankle properly.

Ah, the SLINKY!

Slinkies are probably the best toy ever created. So simple and a complete classic. A spring. Who would have thought that it would have been so successful? I mean, it has been around since 1945 and is still going strong. And of course, the famous Jingle is legend:

What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slinkity sound?

A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing! Everyone knows it's Slinky.

It's Slinky, it's Slinky. For fun it's a wonderful toy.

It's Slinky, it's Slinky. It's fun for a girl or a boy.

It's fun for a girl or a boy!

Ah, no one can get that out of their head very well. The other day I was looking up Rubik's Cubes on Amazon, to see how much they cost and the different types you could get! And then I looked up Slinky and it came up with the slinky, are rip-off called, "Springy" and guess what!

Halfway down the page was the Classic Rubik's Cube...

...its a strange life!

Peace and Run!

The End of the World

Don't you just feel that sometimes, people just want the world to die? There are so many things that people keep on saying will end up killing us all like some machines that could open a black hole, or some sort of food poisoning. Apparently the year we all have to watch out for is 2012.

Yes, there are a GIANT number of things that will kill us in 2012. Seriously. People are getting a bit worked up about some of the stuff:

• Bird flu will end up killing the human race
• Swine flu will have killed the last human being
• An ancient calender that hasn't been used in a couple of thousand years ENDS in 2012, so it must be the apocolypse
• It will be the apocolypse
• Planet X will have hit the Earth, killing all life
• Aliens are going to invade and enslave all being, we will be fed once a month and be constantly in chains and have to bow down to our new masters
• Nuclear weapons will destroy the Earth
• Another race of aliens will come and declare war on us, making us have to fight for survival in the universe
• The internet will become awful and many will commit suicide because it has lost its potential
• Yellowstone volcano will erupt, killing the world by suffocation
  

Honestly! I mean, some of these things don't even make sense! And if all these things happen, I am going to laugh, because they all contradict each other, except one or two.

Well, a little warning! Apparently the end is in 2012... you have been warned.

Well, thats all I have to say right now!


Peace and Run!

Day Two... wait, no, is it day one?

Hi!

Gosh, I don't know what to call this entry! This is Day 2 of my blog, but its also day 1, because I haven't written any proper blogs. I was playing about with the Side Bar and Gadgets when I wrote the blogs, "What is Doctor Who?" and "What is this 'Converse' You speak about?". I've decided if I do write about something that might confuse people or that I just want to talk more about, then I can write a while Post on it and pop it in the sidebar! I think this will be Blog #1, Day #2. That makes sense, doesn't it?

I have discovered something AMAZING. I know all the Doctors in Chronological order off the tope of my head. But to be honest, I have never memorised them on purpose to do this 'trick' and I was born in the mid '90s; an era with no Doctor Who apart from the film!

So, today I was in school, talking about Doctor Who and I managed to say all the Doctors (well, the actors anyway) off the top of my head. Except Peter Davidson. The 5th one. Which I am annoyed about because it is a really obvious one!!!! Silly, silly child, well, adolescent, teenager, whatever you want to call it.

I suppose my next challenge is to learn all the Companions........


















*gulp*

"What is this, 'Converse' you are talking about?"

"Converse?" you ask.

And my jaw drops!

Converse is a company that makes shoes, but when people say that they have converse they are talking about a pair of shoes they own made by Converse. These are normally Baseball Boots.

They are in fact Chuck Taylor's All Stars and are produced by the company Converse, they can be referred to as, "Chuck's", "Chuck T's", "Baseball Boots", "Cons", "Converse", "All Stars" and so on. They are the most successful shoes ever created and have had immense popularity over the years (though addmittedly with some downs). The first pair that were produced were produced in 1917 making them a very old, but classic design.

They are made from Canvas and rubber. People tend to comment on how comfy they are and the nice variety of colours.

I love Converse myself and have never tried on a more comfy shoe. They just tend to rock!
