But more CheckeredMichael.blogspot.com... Reason? Because I have now changed my username on all different sites, and I feel as though I need to go along with the flow and keep things nice on less confusing, so please check out my new blogging site and make it filled with nice comments (just as soon as I post up a blog post ☺). So I suppose its goodbye to this blog site and hello to my new one, and yes this one will still be open for people to see and read my old posts.

Whose that girl?

2008-07-05T15:43:00.004+01:00

I forget about that post I did about seeing that someone at that place. Sorry to keep that topic on hold for so long, that's if anyone was wanting to know what happened. Yeah, we did go out in the end, but it didn't last long since we went out for a month and one week, and then we broke up because we wanted a break. The reason for this was that when we were going out through that one month, we only saw each other once which really hurt, so we decided to take a break until we started seeing each other more, and then we will decide if we are to go back out with each other. Which is also hurting oh so badly. I miss her and would like her to be mine again.

Viacom

Ok, so everyone knows about whats happening with Viacom taking all the videos off of the youtube website and reviewing it, as well as reviewing peoples viewing histories and IP addresses. But isn't that a step to far? Isn't this breaking into our privacy? And who wants that? I personally think that this is way to far and youtube should have won the court case over.

Videos, Digg, and something else.

2008-05-25T21:59:00.002+01:00

Okay, so theres a few things I would like to talk about since I haven't posted a blog in a while. First things first, I have just joined Digg, so if you like my blog, then please Digg it, I would appreciate it so much. Secondly, I'm actually much happier than usual which is obviously a good sign :). Mainly because I've been talking to someone, and I know that she likes me, but I want to meet her first before I actually go through with anything, so I shall be meeting her tomorrow which is cool. Thirdly, I just saw this amazing youtube video which was featured on the UK site. It is so amazing, it has a really powerful message to it, everyone should check it out.

Ok, I just read this guys blog about "scene" and "emo" kids. I found this link from one of my friends on Bebo, and I must say, it really does make me laugh about what he says... Yeah, maybe some of what he says is true, but is anyone really going to care about what he is saying, he should just let people be people and who ever they want to be, what ever happened to a "free country" where you could do almost anything (within a certain boundary of course). He says about all scene and emo kids being between 11 - 13, well thats wrong for a start, it can be from any age, it doesn't actually have to be between that age, and it definitely isn't even generally between those ages either. Not all emo and scene kids are attention seeking whore either, in fact I know a lot of them which aren't, so that is all LIES! Hmm, what else... Ooh, their all camera whores as well. Their not all like that, I know some who don't like their photos being taken and they are very picky on what gets allowed to be shown and what doesn't, there probably very few who will put up millions of pictures of themselves.

"Today's The Day We'll Fade Away"

2008-04-25T19:55:00.001+01:00

Okay, So I decided to start this Blog post with some lyrics from a song (by Seether) since I', listening to that song and I couldn't think of what else to title it :). I should post up more often to be honest with you... Wow, its almost my Birthday soon, that'll be fun, specially since I have to hand in an assignment which I got given from last year and haven't even properly started on yet... Ha ha! I should get on and do that really since there is a lot for it. I shall soon be getting a 250GB hard drive some time next week which will be this crappy 30GB one, I will then be able to install and play Guild Wars :D... If anyone has this game, then please do comment and tell me your in-game name, because it would be cool to be able to team up with you, and if you wanna know which Guild Wars games I have... Its Prophecies and Faction... Hopefully I'll soon get Eye of The North as well. Has anyone heard about the 2nd Guild Wars to be released... Later this year I think it is. Its gonna be awesome, the characters can do so much more, like swim, jump, and more. Also the new playable characters are awesome... If you wanna know more about it then check out http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2. I think thats all for now, talk to you guys later.

Holidays Are Over. (Warning, this has an auto-play song).

2008-04-07T22:50:00.001+01:00

Ok, so the holidays are now over and I am back in College tomorrow, so that shall be good since I will be able to meet all my friends again and tell them what I haven't done. The first week of my holidays was ok and then in the second week it got kinda boring when I wasn't really seeing any of my friends. Lets see, over the holidays I have been looking forward to Download, its gonna be so cool knowing that my second favorite band will be playing there. Also I have recently bought Total guitar and Metal Hammer magazines which have been keeping me busy the past few days. Today I think I may have found myself a job without actually doing anything which is very neat indeed. It is also now 1 month till my Birthday, so to anyone reading this, I expect to have Birthday wishes through Blog comments, Video comments, and even maybe a Vlog response. Ha ha, you don't actually have to do it, although it would be quite nice.

Update (Find Out How Popping the Question Worked).

2008-03-20T00:38:00.003Z

Hey to all my readers (I'm saying this like I have many when actually I don't think I even have one reader who wants to come back for more). So I haven't written on this in a while and I thought that now is the time to write something new, and so here I am... Writing... Hmm, I've been ill for longer than a week with a really bad bug which has been going around and it isn't nice at all.

You see that banner up there ^^, click it, it takes you to an awesome web browser for social networking, it links to site like youtube and facebook, it also has a media bar which is pretty damn nifty, I think that the web browser has only really just started out, but it has so much potential and will do so well, in fact, I'm publishing this blog post using the web browser, how cool is that?

I'm not totally sure on how many people come back to my blogs or even reads my blogs first off, but if you do, then I ask you to please comment these blog posts so I can get a fairly good idea on how many people actually come to view this and such.

For anyone wanting to know about that girl which I said I was gonna ask out, well I did it... Aaannnddd she said no... Here is the text I sent and also the one she sent back.

"Bbbeeeccckkkyyy... Erm I have something I need to ask, and I wish that I could ask this in person, but I'm to scared to do it. Its even hard to write this in text form and what I would like to say is that I was wondering if you would like to go out with me, if you want us to stay as friends, then that is fine, I'll understand that, just don't say that you'll think about it, because I'll just take that as a no. Love you xxx"

The text I got back was as follows...

"Mikey me love. Humm sorry, but I think we should just stay mates because your like one of my best mates. I'm sorry. Love ya lots xxx"

Well, at least she sees me as a best friend :).

Good And Bad

2008-02-05T19:13:00.000Z

Today has been slightly weird and also annoying at the sane time, I had received a text off of someone and it was talking to a "Max", and I am no "Max", I'm a Michael and so totally confused, I text back asking who it was and that I'm not called Max and they text back saying how that Max had a new phone number and that this was the number given. After telling her who I was, she text back asking how I am and that the next time I sleep over their house, I will no longer have to sleep on bean bags, after reading that text I knew instantly who it was, it was my friends mum which was really strange. Also, don't you just hate it with the whole stereotypicalising people into groups like "emo, chav, goth etc." Today after wearing my friends wrist bandages I kept getting abuse, people calling me emo and its just sad. I say this over and over again, people need to learn about the groups on what they are talking about before shouting abuse like that, and even if I was emo, it doesn't mean that I have a bad personality or anything, you could be chav and have a good personality even though people tend to think that they have bad personality's. Its stupid, end of.

No luck

2008-02-04T20:06:00.000Z

I never seem to have any luck with a lot of things which is probably why I usually feel so low and depressed. I don't have much luck with relationships, I am never even able to get into one let alone stay in one, although my last relationship did last a year, and I have only been out with 3 people through my whole life time. When I have a responsibility to look after animals, it tends to just go down the drain, no matter how hard I try, I have a new rabbit, and I showed him to the group, they seemed fine all being together until after a few days I found a wound on the new rabbit which was infected and suggested that they had been fighting with him which is never good, but hopefully when he has recovered and I have introduced him back in they might treat him better. My life is all full of hoping, I have no luck with anything.

New Open Door

2008-02-03T18:24:00.000Z

You know that new door that I told you which opened up? Yeah well I haven't really stepped into it yet, I'm going to be observing it before I step into it else it could lead to a bad sense of direction, and too many times has that happened to me, and I won't let it happen (until maybe later on if I let it slip). This will be important and good if I observe it well and walk in at the right moment which is what I am hoping for, wish me luck :).

Saturday

2008-02-03T17:15:00.000Z

Ok, so this is Saturday's post since I didn't post anything due to staying over my brother's house and he has no internet there, and the though I had for this has now gone since it was meant to be a review on Cloverfield, but due to my friend not wanting to go due to the cold, and me not wanting to go because I didn't want to go by myself meant that we pulled out and I had nothing to do for the day. My mum said about going to my brother's and since I wasn't doing anything at all made me think that maybe I could go since I haven't been to his new house yet, and so I did. We sat down watching crap until we decided to put Transformers on, it is a great movie and I recommend you to go and see it. Something which hadn't been mentioned was on Friday I saw I Am Legend, any one wanting to see that movie as well should go, it is an awesome movie, and now I am going to bring forward two movie reviews for you, maybe three if I feel like writing about 30 Days of Night which is likely, so here it goes...

Transformers

Transformers is an amazing film, the story line is just awesome, its about the machines being at war and the humans are kinda in the middle of it all, you have all the main robots in there including Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Megatron and more. The evil side are wanting to kill all of humanity whilst the Good side are trying to protect all of humanity, they have most of the humans on their side to help beat the battle besides some minor distractions which are over obnoxious humans who aren't willing to help until later on in the film. I find this film to have the right level of humor, romantic but funny scenes, and of course the action. This is one immense film and anyone should buy the DVD.

I Am Legend

I Am Legend is also an amazing film, it goes on about how this woman scientist thinks that she has found a cure to help mankind from cancer, by genetically engineering the measles which changed it into a virus. After a while the virus gets out of hand and thus zombies were formed, these weren't ordinary zombies since they couldn't go out in the day time because they're skin burns in the sun, kinda like vampired, but they are NOT vampires. The whole town decides to evacuate the city, part from Will Smith and his dog Samantha because he wants to find a cure to this horrible virus. The film has its humor with Will Smith talking to his dog like an actual human and he also talks to the manikins which are dotted around the place, it is also very action packed and jumpy, which makes it an excellent film.

Thoughtful

2008-02-01T17:56:00.000Z

Today has been a slow thoughtful day for me, I didn't have college today since it was my day off, and as I sat down stairs watching tv and flicking over to the music channels (Scuzz and Kerrang!) every time the adverts came on, I kept on thinking about how each different song which came on had helped me get through my life (even if the music I had listened to was depressing), depressing music has its deep and meaningful side to it other than just that its, "Oh, its so depressing and emo", side to it. I keep on discovering new and no so well known bands which is cool, but I always come back thinking that maybe they should be more known to the public because they play so well.

List of bands which should be more known, go YouTube them up or something, and tell your friends about them :).

Hurt are a very emotional and deep meaning band, their musical talent is awesome, check them out.

Seether have recently been touring around the US, along with Hurt supporting them (if it wasn't for Hurt, I probably wouldn't have recognized this band which is strange considering they are more famous).

John Frusciante is currently the lead guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers, but how many people know that he has is own solo career going on at the moment, not many you say? Well that is true, and he needs more exposure since I feel as though his solo career is going better than his band career (by this I mean that he can play better).

Panic Cell quoted by some guy. "
Not looking to bring you the soundtrack of your life, nor capatlise on the teenage angst market. Think back to the classic tunes of the 70's, 80's and early 90's, think great Hard Rock/Heavy Metal but without the big hair and makeup. Think Black Label Society fronted by Phil Anselmo. In a nutshell, Panic Cell are 'Classic Rock-Metal music gone Post-Millennium'".
What I have to say about them. This is metal at its best, if you are a metal fan, you will most definatly like this band.

Wishful Mind.

2008-01-31T20:55:00.000Z

I feel as though a door has been opened for me, my mood the this past month hasn't been to good since I've been depressed, but now I feel as though it is starting to get better, and my mood has become to a happier state. I'm now hoping for something special to happen, and if it does then I will probably be the happiest guy alive, no joke :). I don't really want to say what it is on here though since there will be certain people viewing this. College life has now got it spark back which is making me happy as well, and to think that in this past month I have been thinking about how crap my life is and I didn't look at the good things which had been happening since my thoughts were over clouded by bad, depressing things.

Next week I have a party in my college, its a valentines party which should be cool, hopefully good and hopeful things will happen with that, again not revealing anything :).
