"The worst movie ever"

Truthfully, I have used this phrase to describe a number of Movies, i'll also admit, twilight isn't in fact the worst Movie i've ever seen, just don't tell too many people that one

I went to look at what some other people wrote as worst movies ever, and saw that "Freddy got Fingered" was on the worst comedies, I need not tell you all my disgust at this comedy gold being placed on the worst Movies ever list.

But I can't choose the "Worst Movie ever" so for this blog entry, i've decided to put them into a number of categorys of top 4's

Let the excitement begin

Top 4 Movies that were hyped and I looked forward too until seeing

4. Taxi Driver - THE PILL DISSOLVING SCENE IS NOT THAT COOL

3. Matrix Reloaded(The most disappointing Movie I have ever seen because I absolutely loved the original matrix, revolutions was quite nice also)

2. Avatar (I don't need to tell anyone how hyped up this Movie was, I personally hated it, after seeing 4d shows at Disneyland I can't appreciate this "mind-blowing phenomenon". Its also bollocks)

1. Romper Stomper (Described too me as "This is England but better". Russell Crow at his worst and that's saying something)

My top 4 most loathed films off the top of my head

4. Godzilla. (No shut up it was fucking horrible go away)

3. Son of the Mask (I can't put this in the other category because I never looked forward to a sequel of the original mask, and even if there was, it should of been based on the other guy getting the mask that jumps in the water at the end of the original. Horrible idea. Horribly executed. Shite)

Now let me interrupt the list, for number 1 & 2 I wanted to do something that alot of my friends consider good Movies and suggest watching before I go on rants and often huffing until I get my way. If I was just gonna simply choose worst Movie it'd be something like Mega shark vs giant octopus

2. Final Destination - I don't care what you say, it wasn't original, it wasn't amazing, it was absolute wank. ESPECIALLY THE FINAL DESTINATION. The 3d effects were terrible (Not that 3d is good at any time). Fuck you Final destination fans, FUCK YOU

1. Halloween 2 (The remake). This is the only Movie were I have tried to leave the cinema just to find my friend was enjoying it and wasn't leaving thus meaning I wasn't getting a lift home. And then, an hour or so in, he kills her, yay, its over. NO IT WAS A DREAM. A DREAM. I started punching myself at this point, a Movie made me cause physical harm to myself. I hope your happy Halloween. BECAUSE I WASN'T.

Piracy

Ok it may be true that I may have downloaded a song or two in my life span without paying the full price, or any price at all for that matter

But that is because of many different factors, the first being, HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED CRIBS. I'm pretty sure I can put £14 to better use than John Lennon can.

Ok to start of this large rant of how ridiculous the world is, let me put across some facts first of all

• The RIAA tried to sue Piratebay for  13 million dollars for 34 cases of copy infringement.. If this is true that means that one download, song, movie, game etc is worth £328, 353.
• Your average 8 gig ipod can hold, em, 2,000 songs fair to say? According to the RIAA it is worth $764,704,882. It is the single most valuable object on earth
• If justice was to be brought to everyone who has made an illegal download from pirate-bay, it would be 382 trillion dollars. If you made a stalk of 50 dollar bills to equal that amount it would make a stack high enough to reach the moon... Twice

Now i'm not by any means saying "Let's never pay for a song again", because that would be silly. But I love music, and I love discovering new music, there is no possible way as me as an 18 year old can buy a whole artists back catalogue to see if I like it or not.

But as far as big time musicians go, they have way to much money, and to be fair most dont deserve another penny. But small time bands I always believe in buying their EP's, albums etc. Because they need the money to continue

Wouldn't want the same fate that Reuben (R.I.P) faced for other small time bands.

Conclussion: The new Piracy laws are balls

"Nice guys finish last"

Ok, everyone's completely aware of the term "Nice guys finish last" or the whole theory of "Girls like assholes".. Well it's true, in fact it's not just girls, it's everyone, to an extent of course

Think about the nicest person you know, the kind of person who wouldn't speak their mind in case they caused offence, the kind of person that wouldn't stick up for themselves incase it annoyed the person. It's sad to think, this character, probably doesn't have many friends

Or, maybe i'm assuming too much. But I can think of at least 10 people that fit the description, and I know why. The fear of not wanting to offend someone leads to never voicing your own opinion, which, makes you a boring person. The person i'm thinking of utters the same words everytime I speak to them, "Coursework, results and everything similar".

I understand it, I used to be like that myself, completely different to the person I am now who would jump on the opportunity to express how my opinion is much more correct than someone elses

And I didn't have very many friends, proper friends like. But the small circle of friends I did have, expanded when I started youth work and there I was taught to voice my opinions, then as I started doing that I made new friends, met new people

What i'm trying to say is, never be afraid to voice your opinion, because that's how you met friends, through sharing of interests. Even if a room full of people disagree, your opinion is important

"I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not" - Kurt Cobain

Straight outta Kilkeel.. (Politics)

Ok, for those reading in the future, hello future people, I hope i'm not dead, if I am - I don't really know where i'm going with this but here's an introduction so you know what im talking about

Introduction
Martin Connolly has refused to condemn the bomb scare on his neice who works for the police. A bomb scare that had the scroog road and other parks evacuated

Now, let it be known I have never been a fan of Martin Connolly but this is just complete bull, and here's why

1. Ok, I always believe in standing up for your rights, I prefer someone who can say something to a room full of people with the opposite view respectfully than I do someone who would agree to conform to the crowd. BUT THIS IS BULLSHIT. Yes I know "My forefathers died for this cause etc etc", and if you want to write in saying "If they tried to blow me up, that's dead on", yes it is dead on, condemning the people unfortunate enough to have anything to do with your scumbag persona is a different thing. Your neice is trying to make this a more peaceful place for everyone to live, something you as a counceller should be doing also..
2. Think of the Children: I remember when I used to work with youth work a man who i'll leave un named said the following to me

"I was doing an activity with this group of kids, and, admittidly the girl was ditsy, but she said "What's a bomb scare", and that is one of the greatest revelations i've had as a youth worker that this place is improving"
That's sort of always stuck with me, and come on, anyone can say as a child if they had to be evacuated from a bomb, it'd fuck them up for weeks, months even possibly years, I know if I had to be evacuated tonight I wouldn't feel properly safe in my house for a long time

What i'm basically pointing out is, I can speak for a lot of people when we say we dont give a fuck and don't want the troubles back. And this isn't helping, and when the men in office are slagging eachother over social networking sites or coming to the paper saying it's dead on if more bloodshed is spilled over this abomination of a civil war, it's not helping, in any way.

What i'm basically saying is, wise the fuck up, I don't want my Generation paying for the last fews fuck ups

Amazing things

Ok, i've decided i'm gonna keep a post as something to update with quotes and memorys from nights out

01 July 2010 Location Quinns

"Fuck rollercoasters, dont need them, just get pissed and sit in a taxi, same thing"

Some spanish girl "Oh, you boyfriend and boyfriend"

Me and chris mouth off about spain for a good 10 minutes till her boyfriend makes her leave

Seeing some guy that looked like moot and going "MOOT" and one of them actually went "Oh fuck its those guys again"

Changes

Me age 14-15

I remember when I was young, looking into the future (I've always been someone that thinks way, way to much) that once I got to the age of about 15 I would sort of remain that way until I got till about 21. In short, I couldn't be more wrong, in detail, i'll give a run down of my last years.

The picture at the top is me, aged 14-15 (not sure), up until this point I had been heavy in youth work, listened to nothing but Metal and wore nothing but Metal t shirts. So it was safe to say, I enjoyed metal music. I didn't drink alcohol, in fact, I despised the stuff, oh, and had an unhealthy obsession with Trampoline Wrestling.

www.xtremetrampolinewrestling.tk just for a bit of evidence

Anyway, more to the point of the topic of "Change", this all drastically changed, I can't actually think of the point but basically my social life went from an hour up the town after school on a Friday with few friends, to carry outs in Newry and soon after Kilkeel, through this admittedly I lost some friends, but if it wasn't for this I wouldn't have met some of the most amazing people that turned me into who I am today, and also some of the biggest wastes of space.

Me aged 16-17 (Not sure)

Anyway, carryouts in the street soon took the usual turn of fights, drama and alot of people not becoming friends and myself enduring and seeing some of the messiest break ups in history.

But apart from the drinking thing there's many other factors to this, I mean when I was 16 I had my life figured out, stay on at school, sound enginnering, then it turned to computer game design, then history, now I messed up my last year at school and starting an office job

I guess what i'm trying to say is you never really can guess what's going to happen, I mean if you talked to me at different points in the last few years you may have saw a completely different person, due to change in life and people around me

HOWEVER. I can easily say, 2009 and 2010, is the year a shit load of stuff has happened to me, for the worse, which is what distracted me from school, but i'll be damned if these haven't been the single best years of my life because I am surrounded by the single greatest people in the world and everythings worked out for the best

Basically, don't take time for granted, good and shit times make you who you eventually are, I know I still have growing up to do, but I have no desire to do so in the forseeable future, get a job and keep acting the way I do seems to be the plan

Well, this was an incredibly personal and serious post, more of my usual stuff later
