NO! But do prepare for a long'un.
So I was feeling like I slacked in that earlier blog so I'm making another which I probably would have done anyway really, but here we gooooo.
I want to see if I can go without starting a paragraph with "Anyway" or some variation of that or using "..." (ellipses I think?) a lot.
So you may be a bit interested about my interview at Brighthouse.
The job is just a general sales position really. I ended up not asking about how the pay works but if I get offered the job, then I'll find out.
I wouldn't say it's unlikely I'm hired. I'm not sure I worded that right.
The job is for a new store in Musselburgh so yeah, I'd say there's a good chance I get the job!
Honestly, I've not had much preparation for job interviews. No thanks to my dad really, he could have helped! Did he? Of course he didn't!
But I'm not an incompetent person, I'm relatively smart when it comes to some things I've had little to no experience in.
Relationships for example! Some friends approach me asking for advice. I'm relatively sure they know about my "situation" but they still come to me.
If you seem to be unaware of my situation also, here it is:
I have never had a proper girlfriend. I have attempted to go on a date with a couple girls. They either brought a friend with them or their sister. I've only kissed one girl, and that was on her cheek when I was relatively young. I have pretty much zero experience in relationships. BUT, thanks to various things, I actually have built up a decent knowledge of relationships. That's probably why some friends come to me. But surely it'd be a smarter idea to go to someone who has had a relationship for longer than a week pretty much...
Like, if I were fresh into a relationship and didn't know what to do at times, I'd honestly go to Graham and/or Dan. Graham and Katie - 5 years, Dan and Nicky - close to 2 years I think? So yeah.
Moving on from my lack of everything worth while in life and that large tangent.
My knee has been like, on and off, killing me all day... It doesn't feel sore if I like squeeze it or anything, but bending and straightening my knee, huuuurts. And when I'm just sitting on the sofa, it'll just decide to make me think I just got stabbed or something.
I think it may be an idea to see a doctor if it's not gone by Tuesday. I should have gone for a run on Thursday, ended up being too late so I would have gone today/yesterday but it was still sore. If it somehow heals on the weekend, I'll go for a run like, twice. Even if it's in the same day. Honestly, the first time you run, it really is pain. Especially when you're "large" like myself. But after your second or third time, it really does lighten up a fair bit. If you're like, massive. Say Shaycarl sized around early 2011. It'll be hard for a while.
It really does get easier. And I completely understand what he means and Courtneypants as well when she made a video about "her story" basically. She was actually large a while ago, now she's like, boney. Bony? But yeah, you really do look for anything as an excuse pretty much... Although I think I'll still avoid running when it's raining, I have no desire to be outside in the pouring rain for like, an hour. But you really do just have to get up and do it.
For me, I do a similar thing to Dan, I just do a jog instead of a run for the moment and I also do it for 30 seconds less time. But my routine, at least 3 times a week.
Trainers, running clothes, watch for my timer when I'm jogging.
20 star jumps.
20 kicks. Just kick as high as you feel comfortable, 10 on each leg.
20 squats. When I was doing the squats the first time, my knees cracked every time. It was amusing to me. Not sore though, although I do believe that's why my knee is currently dying. A squat by the way, if you don't know like my Dutch friend didn't. Put your feet about shoulder's distance apart. Then you bend your knees, moving down. It may help to hold your hands out in front of you, I clasp them together. Go down as far as you feel you can, then come back up. Google it if you'd rather have a better example.
Next, I go to the rail by the door. Hold it and basically just swing my legs from side to side as far as I can. 10 times each again.
That's the warm up done. Now I just go for a walk. I just walk around the apartment block here.
Once I'm back to the door where I warmed up. I then put my watch on the timer, press start, and begin my jog. I feel it's faster for you to not be counting seconds in your head because you have to count them right for one. For a while I was counting a second as every second step I made, when it should have been every third or forth. But using your watch is a smarter idea. You can just let your mind go, and just jog. Focus on any pain you may experience, and just push through it.
Once your watch goes off for the 60 seconds or 90, which ever you are doing. You then slow to a walk, and I count in my head 120 seconds. Every second step for me is a second. If I had a second watch to time that, I'd use it. But I don't, so I count!
As you progress, the time does start to fly. I went out my second or third time, I was jogging around the two blocks on this street, which is a bad idea because it's ideal to be going on a relatively flat area. Going up slopes was fine, but going down nearly killed my calf. Anyway, I went out on my second or third run/jog. I was going along thinking "Oh comon hurry up and beep so I can walk!" then, either the next minute of jogging or a couple times after, I was going along fine, my watch went off and I thought "Really? Already?"
As much as someone like Graham may say "Running is stupid!" it's really not. It's really good and you really do begin to enjoy it. I would probably avoid listening to music however. For one, I need to listen for my watch, for another I have no pockets... BUT The problem with listening to music as you run, you need to keep a pace you can cope with. I find that listening to music, I try to be in time with the beat in the song. An audio book may work. Stephen Fry lost A LOT of weight after his America travel just by walking, listening to an audio book of some sort. With an audio book, there is no beat, there is no time. Therefore, you feel no need to match your steps with the music.
Just my thoughts anyway, some people can stay focussed enough but I love music, I love to enjoy it.
I used to love songs like, Master of Puppets - Metallica and Blow Me Away - Breaking Benjamin. Then I used them as an alarm to wake up, and when ever they come on, I actually get a sinking feeling like "Nooo, I don't want to wake up at 6:30!"
I think I may have actually overcome those feelings but still.
So that's my routine, when I feel I've done enough, I try and time it a little to getting back to my door. If I stop running before the door, I'll walk to it and cool down, if I run past, I'll just turn around and walk back. It depends how far I go past as well.
My cool down is basically the same as my warm up.
20 Star Jumps
20 Kicks
20 Squats
20 Leg swings
I then do a few things which I probably won't be able to describe too well. I'm trying to remember but 3:40 is a bad time for recalling memories.
I think I then do a thrust kind of thing? I put my left foot out in front of me, keeping both feet flat on the ground, left knee bent. I do that for a little bit then I straighten my legs, put my right hand on my left shoulder I think it is? And my left hand on my right elbow. Stand there for 10 seconds. Then I do it the other way round.
I then just kick up my heels, "Try to kick your butt" is a good way to describe it. I did 10 on each leg again.
Finally, I put my right toe on the ground, and push my right leg forwards. It's a kind of thing I do to try and crack my ankle really, but I do that for about 10 seconds, then swap around and yeah.
That's pretty much my jogging routine really. Try that 3 times a week if I can. Tuesday after Pizzas, Thursday after Nandos, sometime over the weekend. I'd like to do it on Saturday and Sunday really. But I mainly just go for Sunday.
So earlier I was watching Chris Moyles' Quiz Night.
Actually I'll start that again because it'll be TV for a bit.
So earlier I was watching some TV as you do with nothing else to do.
I went to channel 4 to watch Chris Moyle's Quiz Night. Which I talked about in my last blog. John Barrowman, JLS and... I've forgotten her name...
OH THAT REMINDS ME!
The guy who plays Marshal in How I Met Your Mother. He's a great guy, but his name is so forgetful! I'm amazed that I've remembered it actually. Jason Segel.
Back on track now. I was watching the Quiz Night and they had a section where a couple celebrities asked a question or described something for the celebrities to guess. Like yesterday, Stephen Fry described The Lord of The Flies, in a chavvy kind of voice. Chris wrote Lost for that as well. Silly man, he's not stupid either but apparently he never read that book.
So they had Jeremy Clarkson describing his "ride" it was a skateboard, I was barely listening so I couldn't have a guess, and Britney Spears asking "What is the definition of a Palindrome?"
Honestly, I wouldn't say I completely knew, and Britney certainly didn't. All I can say from this one question is that, Britney Spears, should not ever have an acting career, and she is an idiot... Like a lot of Blonde "famous" people tend to come across as.
She read off the definition of Palindrome to confirm any correct answers. But she was obviously reading off a card! Maybe she tried to read it, remember it and recall it. But it wasn't happening. Either way. She's a pleb in my opinion.
After that, Rude Tube: Utter Pranks came on. It was an amusing episode. Early on was a bit where a man ripped the short dress off a woman on TV and well basically, she chased the man around the room in a thong with her boobs bouncing everywhere. It was an amusing start.
Following this was a man exiting a building with a box of various things, including a massive freaking dildo! That was an odd one!
There was a brilliant part where a guy got one of those annoying telesales calls, and the woman on the other end must have been living under a rock because she didn't recognise anything from the following:
"I'm a millionaire
My name is Bruce Wayne
Wayne Manor
Gotham City"
How do you not know anything about batman? Don't get me wrong, the most contact I ever want to have with the "super hero" is The Dark Knight. I love that film. I bet there was a film before called that, but I mean the more recent Batman movies. They are amazing.
Either way, it was hilarious.
There was another prank on somewhere... I'll say it was Burger King. Basically, this guy called them up and said something like,
"Hello, this is Sargent... something, We have a couple officers outside your store undercover as homeless people, and they'd appreciate a meal and some coffee, if you could take something out to them that'd be great"
Then someone came out of Burger King with a box of food and a couple coffees and put them beside the men outside.
They were not undercover cops. They were just homeless. This was like, the most epic kind prank, ever. I loved it.
Another prank was on Chat Roulette. So much crap goes on there, it's hilarious and sad... But yeah, this black guy dressed up in a white hood like the KKK and he was like, giving all this "White people forever" crap, and then he like, put his hand on his chest or he like ripped off his shirt. Then the people on the other side of the chat would just laugh their heads off because well... if you don't know who the KKK are, I won't get into it any more than: They are white guys/gals who believe black people should be killed.
They are so freaking wrong it's hilarious.
Second last prank I'll be relaying to you, is a child's toy phone! One of these things you press numbers it reads "one, two, three" so on. Basically this guy pressed the numbers:
9 3 5 3 and repeated it, increasing his speed so it started off as
"Nine, Three, Five" and became "Mother
Actually that reminds me of an advert for this woman who got like, acid attacked? But she's had over 100 surgeries and she's going to get her eyes fixed with stem cell research and such. And there was a bit like, "Watch as she goes around finding out peoples beliefs in stem cell research" blah blah blah.
Of course they interviewed religious nuts...
DON'T BRING YOUR RELIGIOUS CRAP MY WAY! Just skip it if you care enough.
Basically this woman said "It's wrong! Who are we to give or take life?"
It's a fair point, but then also here's the true
If it's wrong, and if we aren't to decide these things, WHY ARE WE ABLE TO?!
Seriously, if "God" didn't want us screwing around with people's lives in such ways as stem cell research, why should we be able to do it then? It should never have happened if we weren't allowed to or supposed to. Religious people are so thick sometimes... No offence to anyone I like who reads this and is religious in anyway. I cherish my friends so feel free to punch me for what I said. XD
So the final prank, I don't really know why it's a prank. It really doesn't seem like it. But it's TomSka!
It's so weird that one of the first videos I watched of his was taken from TV from this very episode, although it aired a while ago obviously. And here I am, watching it now!
It's a brilliant video though.
I'm curious as to what Tom did in University. But he's got the life I want pretty much, YouTube videos and he's probably got a career in Television which is why he's not always putting up content on a regular basis. But for one, "Tom's Day Out 3" that just made me want what he has a bit more. He basically leaves his flat, goes to his friend's and picks up people, then they meet up with others, and go have a big picnic basically.
My main question about this though:
Where would I get these friends..?
I'm a friendly and fun person, don't get me wrong, but at the same time, I'm not exactly, Mr Popular!
But yeah, I finished up watching the show and went to BBC3 I think? I've forgotten the channel already. And I watched some American Dad.
Went back to YouTube after and now I'm here!
I had a moment earlier where I was looking around for information on the Shaytards. The anniversary basically. March 6th I believe? So in a month, Shaytards will enter year 3!
It's a shame they've only really just broke the surface of 1 million subscribers, they deserve way more, but it's good for a couple years work! Also in the process of searching for this little information, I stumbled across a "fan page" where people were talking about the children's names... Real names. I agree with a comment I saw there, if you were a true fan, you wouldn't be doing that! So I now know the names of Sontard, Princesstard, Babytard and Rocktard. Hopefully I forget them soon.
I want to make an intro tune but I have no like, music talent as in, I can't make a tune. I have a tune, it's the same tune as ever really. Like the original
"So, you are now watching a shaytards vlog
Just sit back relax follow along!
To the things Shay says to the things Shay does
With his cool family and just because
He puts his life online for you
He's done it for a year let's hope for two!
We're ready for a video so let it be clear:
HEY! He's Vlogging here!"
My idea for the tune would be about the same just with 2 lines changed:
"So, you are now watching a shaytards vlog
Just sit back re-lax follow along
To the things shay says to the things he does
With his cool family and just because
+He put their lives online, you couldn't ask for more
+Vlogging for 3 years let's go for four!
We're ready for a video so let it be clear
HEY! He's Vlogging here!"
Really, most of the good intro tunes they've used have been the same, just with those 2 lines changed. The 5th and 6th lines.
So I may give my phone another go, try uploading a video using the YT app which means I have to record it there too. If it works, then I'll use that instead, but my problem with it last time is that, I recorded the video, and then I tried to upload. And it required a Wi-Fi connection because apparently I can't use it's own internet connection for that. I could try sending it to my laptop and then turning on the internet and uploading that way but it'll take forever so may be a bad idea still. So I would then just record with my trusty Flipcam and then go to Dan's to mooch his internet!
Although that will mean I cannot edit the video really. It's a shame but it's the price to pay for a
Had a moment earlier where I got a comment on a status post I made by Japhia. I only know her through RuneScape as ForeverOneAngel. I thought she was nice but it's a bit of a good way to piss someone off quickly by commenting:
"You post the most useless stuff on my news feed..."
Naturally I responded by posting to my wall:
"If anyone feels that I post unimportant stuff on my facebook. Feel free to just unadd me because I don't give a flying
I followed this with:
"Look! A tree!"
I don't quite know why it pissed me off so much. Maybe it was how I thought she was nice and friendly. But there's nothing nice or friendly about that, plus she hadn't spoken to me for a long time so I highly doubt there was something friendly there.
So that's about it for moi. 4:17am now. Been writing for like, an hour? I dunno. Hope you had an interesting read XD laters!
<3 to all
