Ad Aware: Hi, I'm a Mac!

To start this off; wow, it's a busy week. Yesterday, I first of all had to go get my cast off, then I had to go to the dentist, then I had to go to an aviation class... After doing nothing all holidays, that felt like alot. Today, I get to go try out some contacts! Yay! My eyes can't wait to feel the sweet sting of vision!

Well, today's blog is about those annoying Macintosh commercials that portray Macs as being understandable, and PCs being selfish douchebags!

Personally, I am a PC guy. I hate Macs, and I can think of a thousand things wrong with the commercials... I'm sure a few of you have seen these before, but here's the link to one of the ads (they're actually quite well done, you should look at all of them if you haven't before).

I'm a Mac!

First of all... The reason PCs get viruses is that Macs can't run them! Yay!

Well, these commercials are a bold, creative move against Microsoft, but the main problem is... as good as the commercials are, Windows are still better, imo!

For those who love Macs... I hate Macs... I keep hearing people say that Macs are better for 'creative stuff' (as seen in the commercials), but don't PCs have the same programs? Can't PCs right-click? One of the interesting things about Macs, is that they're slowly becoming PCs, some of the newest Macs can right-click!

Do you guys prefer Macs or PCs? Do you enjoy these commercials?

Fourth Primary Colour

First of all, today I got my cast off my wrist (I fell during basketball last month)! The sweet stench of freedom had filled my nostrils the moment the cast was removed... and now that I've had a bath, and layered it in soap, it still smells like leather-wrapped-feet.

Second of all, I've beat Fable three times, one good, one evil, and one meh. I've beaten Crysis twice, first time I went into the files and changed a few things around (gave myself unlimited ammo), because I hadn't realized that you don't have to kill every alien in the ship!!! Second time, I put all the files back to normal, and ran around the ship in a panic, trying to find a way out. Oh, and I found that GTA: San Andreas is a horrible game. The camera is awful, I hate the story... graphics kill me. Vice City is ten times better, imo. All that's different is that you can do more, and get your guy fat.

Anyways, I was curious on how you think a 'fourth colour' would be presented to the population.

Let me explain, imagine that NASA found a fourth primary colour somewhere in the universe (let's imagine our eyes can see it, scientists would say that that's impossible, but ignore that), how would NASA present it to the public? Would they?

If you think about it, they can't take picture or film it, because cameras aren't designed for that colour. No one can imagine it, because nothing of the sort had ever been seen visually, so portraying it would be impossible. Even if they figured out a way to make a video camera that could read the colour, it would still be impossible to post it over the internet, or on television, because our monitors aren't designed for a fourth primary colour. Perhaps bring it back? But a fourth primary colour would most likely be seen in a form of a gas, or of light reflecting off a gas.

What do you guys think? (As I briefly mentioned above, our eyes are only able to see the three primary colours, but what if it were possible, is what I am asking).

Brain Fart

Yesterday, I was planning to do a small 'end of the year' blog, but when I noticed that almost every person in my friend's list was doing one, I decided against it.

Today's blog was meant to be called 'What!?', the only problem is that I completely forget what it was suppose to be about... I think it was awkward questions.. but have you ever had huge brain farts (also known as 'memory loss') where you completely forget about something?

Consequences of Boredom

First of all, sorry for not keeping my blogs updated the last week, I've been busy in Vancouver and playing Fable.

As some of you may know; I am not very religious. I suppose I'm Atheist, not against religion, but I do not believe in any divine power. However, the rest of my family is religious, and since it was Christmas, I was 'forced' to take part in Christmas Eve Church Service, and I couldn't help but notice one little thing...

Whenever you sing in church, whenever an 'S' comes up in the lyrics, listen to everyone sing it. It sounds so cool. You have everyone singing gaifully and suddenly you hear a long 's' ringing out. It is amazing, and now I realize: Wow. I was bored.

For those who do go to church alot, I hope you're not offended by any of this. And please listen during the singing :P

Near-Conclusion to Christmas

As I briefly mentioned in my last blog, I have jsut returned to a happy holiday in Vancouver. For those curious for my grandmother's well-being, she had open-heart surgery, and she survived, and is now doing great! Thanks for all your support!

On the way to Vancouver, we only brought half of the presents, and I still have another half to open after dinner, but I'll update this blog later.

So far, I've received:

  • Xbox 360 Controller (works on PC)
  • Giant Housecoat that makes me feel like the Evil Bigfoot/SnowMan from the StarWars: Episode 5 (I think it was 5) movie.
  • Fable: Lost Chapters (PC)
  • Crysis (PC)
  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PC)
  • Mentos Rocket (Diet Coke + Mentos = boom)
  • PC Gamer Magazine
  • A shirt.
  • Huge 4x4x4 Rubik's Cube

and that's about it for now, I'll update this later.

What have you guys received for Christmas?

Update on Life

Three things going on right now:

1) Well, as you may know, my grandmother is in Vancouver with septicemia, so my whole family is heading over to Vancouver tomorrow to celebrate Christmas there, and honestly, I want to stay home for christmas, wake up in my own bed, eat some nutella-covered-crapes and chug down Egg Nog...

2) I got to level 20!

3) MadeinLlamaLand sent me a 10-day free resubscription for WoW (available to those who haven't subscribed in 6 months or more), and I am officially re-addicted to WoW. And I just got my flying mount. All I can say about that is 'You jerk!' and 'Haha! I have my flying mount!'

Crippled Christmas

So far, this christmas has been... well, everyone in my family has been crippled this year.

My grandmother is in the hospital with septicemia. My mom slipped on some ice and broke her finger. I fell on my wrist and broke it.

During the summer, one of my sisters broke her hand, the other one got an ear infection.

And in addition, my dog has an infection in her foot right now. What a fun Christmas!

It's my father's turn to get injured next!

PS - My friend just broke his leg too!

Has anything like this ever happened in your family?

Inside Jokes

The other day, my friend and I were talking, and we suddenly realized that we have ALOT of inside jokes. For those who haven't been out in public for a little while, an inside joke is a.. well.. it's a joke, that only you and a few people understand. Most inside jokes, if you told it to another person, would find it stupid, not-funny, or confusing.

Well, my friend and I have alot of inside jokes, such as:

-"Three Minutes"

-Standing infront of door staring at it

-"Meh - meh - Oookay - Whatever"

and the list goes on....

Do any of you guys have any inside jokes with any friends (or non-friends)? Do you tend to have alot or only a little inside jokes?

A Lesson in Leadership

The other day, I had to get some x-rays on my wrist (I broke it a few weeks ago), and afterwards, I had to catch the bus from the hospital. Yet this blog isn't about the hospital, my wrist, or the bus. This blog is about one lady at the bus stop.

From what I saw, and from what I heard her talking about, she was 'supervising' half a dozen 8 year olds at the bus stop. And she was one of those people that you are forced to wonder; 'Are you an idiot!?'

I overheard her talking about how she was responsible for them, and how they were her responsibility, and then she started mouthing off skateboarders, and encouraging the 8 year olds to swear at them. (Strike One!)

She started talking about how people over-react about how bad drugs are, and told the kids they were perfectly fine. (In my book, that's Strike Two!)

And finally, which I found the worst, she yelled out the following; "Can I buy some Weed from someone?":shock::shock::shock: (Strike Three - You're out, and you're an idiot!)

When you're looking after a group of children, even ONE child, you do NOT do those three things! The Lesson in Leadership here is NOT to do those three things above. I did not exaggerate any of this, and I personally think that that lady was one of the stupidest people, and I would never let any child I know be near them.

Have you ever met somebody like the lady at the busstop? Any personal experiences of your own?

Meterology, Meterologists, and Weather

This blog isn't actually about weather, it's about the peculiarities of the English Language. I'm sure most people have noticed how odd the English Language is... Park in a driveway, Drive in a Parkway. How we have meteorology, those that study meteorlogy; meteorologists, and then we have Weather. Why haven't we called it meteor? Logically, that would be the proper grammar!

What are your thoughts? Do you have a reason for all of English's oddities?

And I have one question for everyone that's been nagging me all day... What is the word for 'Someone whos seeks for knowledge', or 'someone creative'? Other then the word 'Student' or 'Creator'.

Edit: Oh, dear! Glitchspot has been at it again, I should be close to level 20, not level 2.. *sigh

Edit2: OMG! Looks like everyone's been Glitchspotted! Hopefully GS will smarten up soon.
