There once was a boy named Luke Brace,
Who, like Hitler, thought he was the superior race,
He married Reece Bedding,
Had such a poor wedding,
And now they both don't have a face :')

I think im ready to man up now...
I’m convinced that the solution is to grow up and do what society expects of me, to be a man as defined by my middle-class peers.
I will man up and fly to Washington DC. I will fix my resume, make up some amazing bullshit for the four-year gap in professional employment, and become a microbiologist again. Hopefully I won’t have a mean boss, and hopefully the HR gals like me enough so I don’t get the axe in the first round of corporate restructuring.
Once stably employed, I will man up by looking for a modest condominium in the suburbs, taking on a mortgage that is not too crushing. The mortgage will give me a respectability that my self-published fuck guides never could. Hopefully the value of my condo doesn’t decline, the condo association nazis don’t complain about my music, and no major repairs will be needed that force me to eat ramen for an extended period of time.
To get around in the suburbs, I will man up by purchasing an environmentally friendly automobile, preferably a Toyota Prius. I will finance it. I will have to budget carefully since gas, insurance, and maintenance adds up. Hopefully I don’t get into a catastrophic accident.
I will man up and enroll in a part-time graduate program by borrowing the tuition (I can get my dad to co-sign the loan since he likes it when I go to school). If I really move my ass, I can have a fresh degree in four years, which will really impress my boss and set me up for a 4.5% annual raise instead of the usual 3%. My debt load should now keep me quite busy and anxious for the next 30 years.
I will man up and find a wife on eHarmony. She’ll be my age, a handsome woman tired of being pumped and dumped, with a masculine sensibility that South American and Eastern European women don’t have. She will drastically shorten her hair six months after the wedding, and in spite of my disapproval, she will gain one pound a month until finally exploding like a whale for our first of two kids. She’ll never make the effort to lose the pregnancy weight, no matter how many subtle gym membership gifts I get her for Valentines Day, Mothers Day, her birthday, and Christmas. She will lose interest in having sex with me. The most humiliating moment of my life will be when she tells me to pump her hand while she reads a woman’s magazine. I will feel unattractive and unloved.
Once the kids are in middle school, my wife will initiate divorce proceedings because “the feeling” is no longer there. The feeling was no longer there for me either, but I was willing to make it work for our children. Nonetheless, I will man up and let her take the property, the cars, and the kids. I will pay her steep child support payments that leave me on the edge of poverty. My kids will be brainwashed against me, and hate me for the rest of their lives. I’ll hate them too, but if I stop paying child support I will be sent to prison. With little fatherly influence in their lives, my son will become a little bitch and my daughter a slut who loses her virginity at the age of 14.
I will not give up on life. I will work even harder and make wise investments until my kids are 18 and the burden of child support payments are lifted. Once eligible for social security at the age of 67, I will take my modest nest egg to a modern country with a cheap standard of living, maybe Poland. Once there, no one will count on me and no one will expect anything of me. There will no reason to wake up before noon. I’ll spend my days writing, reading, drinking, and purchasing pussy. I will have so much free time that I’ll decide to learn Polish, one of the hardest languages in the world, just for the hell of it. Yes, I’m ready to man up.
This was a little poem I found, for those denden51 fans, i'll most likely be making a video about this, oooo im so excited.

I don't donate to charity, am I a bad person?
Though the year is 2012, I haven't made a new post within a few weeks, you know what that means right? A free challenging post, by this, I mean that I'll be posting somewhat something the general public may frown upon, or whatever. I may not necessarily follow by those rules stated, though at least I'll be making more posts for you guys. Without further adieu, lets get on with my latest (at the time of writing this) brand new post...
From reading the title, most of you probably already have thought "denden51, you're a douche", though that might be true, I would like to point out that the statement said shouldn't be true due to me not donating to charity.
Why is this?
Well, lets first put this into perspective shall we?...
It's more than likely that I've been scammed before, there are scammers out there (lets face it). Different method of scams, different amounts scammed and the lack of information told to a "customer" is what determines how great a scam can be, (yes, the amount of customers is also a factor) and in terms of this situation, I've seen quite a few charity related scams out there, intentional or not, it's still rather a scam.
A few people decide to make a charity, why? Because of this psychological feeling of needing to help "people" (really those who you cant see or get in contact with) or simply the need to conform with the rest of society (people dread being the outlier). This sort of weakness is exploited by MANY scammers, ceasing opportunity on the feelings of others. Though feelings are subjective, the general thought is that, donate something to someone and they may or may not help something you have forgotten.
Anyway, sometimes, not EVERYONE involved actually knows that they are performing in a scam, some of the "higher-up" charities still produce a large quantity of what i like to call "scam money".
How can it be a scam?
Large percentages of the earned money you made is unfairly distributed to the government, if not, to people who do not deserve it. (NOTE: this is not the majority of charities, nor is it the majority of how chairities work)
For example, if a boy knocked at your door and said...
"Hello, im a charity shop, a large percentage of whatever your donation will go to my paycheck"
Then im sure the majority of you wouldn't pay as much. Not necessarily, some may even pay MORE to ensure those who require the money in needy parts of poor countries may actually receive what they wanted. Though this is not always the case.
Im not sure about you guys, but sometimes, i feel like i've been somewhat scammed by the whole thing. Pay £1 minimum to see and support an overly rich celebrity skydive from a private jet, on TV (not live), like WTF!
I know, that using a celebrity may popularise the charity itself, and i know that sometimes, a celebrity is better than no celebrity. I just process everything, so in some unexplainable way, it's a scam. Give me back my £1.
Maybe its jealously that i don't get to skydive over national television and a moneyless-problem-worrier celebrity gets to do it, but who knows. Sometimes, I just want to see people who have never skydived before (or WILL NEVER), i think its a bit self-explanatory as to why, but maybe my £1 wouldn't seem like such a waste.
Money given, but what difference has it made? Yea, we gained a whopping £1,000,000 thanks to all your donations, keep giving more!! *1 year later*...
Little Timmy now doesn't have to walk 20 miles for dirty water! He has to walk 19.9, and if your million pound money wasn't good enough, we built a school for those kids to learn (There's nothing there) and now the kids and parents are happy (They have sweets in their hands and sound like they were forced). What happened to your £999,999.990 we had? We spent it on advertising and paying loads of people. Though again, this is NOT ALL CHARITIES, NOR AM I SAYING ITS THE MAJORITY!
I would admit, I haven't done incredibly deep research, though i've done enough. That Chris fellow from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire actually did A LOT of charity work by hand and whatnot and make such a difference to the world, his acts of selflessness have not gone unnoticed, he is the few who actually have done well for charities.
So what do you do with the money?
I don't donate to charities, i'd prefer to do the job myself (dependable on the reason), than hand some vague descriptive guy in a uniform my money to help someone somewhere in the poor part of...erm....Africa? Though, I have a heart, a small percentage of that money would go to someone who is desperately in need of it (im not talking about the guy in uniform either).
The economy isn't looking too good (unless you don't live in EU or USA), and desperate times calls for desperate measures!
Anyway, why do people try and "sell" a charity to you so badly? I was on this chatroom and some nerd tried to get me to donate to an unknown charity over the internet, which apprently deals with cancer. Im not against cancer and im not against the research of cancer, but this was over the internet and just because they were doing some Zelda event just makes it even less worth donating to me.
And because I said I wasn't going to donate, i got kicked from the chatroom, no biggie, but what is?!

Did you enjoy my little scenario? Was pretty cool to write, someone who is against charities with justifiable reasons. What would you do if you were that guy? Also, i'll be doing more posts regarding relevance (this was somewhat of a trick). Again, sorry if i did not come up with fully justifiable reasons, which in turn, could account for this weeks poor post. I'll post something a lot more interesting to read if scenarios are a bit boring (or need to heavily be spiced up). I fell a bit lazy with writing this and hopefully, sometime this week will write something else and as usual, you can donate to me using the donation button (hehe). <--- thats why i wanted to make the post, i hope you enjoyed that joke.

The 3DS and it's unlocked potential...
As many of you know, the 3DS is a new device which portrays 3D depth without the need of glasses unlike the overly priced rental shop known as the cinema.
As you have gathered from the title, the 3DS has yet to break free and hit it's ocean of opportunity, it has merely skimmed and created ripples showing off only it's small wavy brilliance. It's like drinking nothing but water for a month and then having a drop of honey, the taste, the feeling and any other possible thoughts are merged and collaborated into one feature, an unforgettable moment of your life, young or old.
Like any other console, the 3DS had little to offer at launch, the first batch of hardware are faulty and possible overally expensive. However, as time progresses, the 3DS has much more to offer and Nintendo have reached yet again new heights. The thought of a console done by Nintendo requires users to be 8+ is on its own incredible, please, take the time to note that down. A CONSOLE BY NINTENDO HAVING TO BE 8 years old and over!!
The friendcode bugs me, I think the whole thing with friendcodes is often disturbing. I mean, i can barely sleep at night knowing the 3DS has a friendcode, with only a 100 friend limit, though thats just me, i've lost sleep but i dont plan on losing anymore.
What can the 3DS do?
With the hardware specs, and with the power of Nintendo, 3DS can do a lot more than a lot of things, the thought of 3D sport is also appealing. The public internet, streetpass and other familiar things has got me and other gamers interested. Though i believe that the 3DS has started a trend, i dont believe that 3D gaming will soon be catching on. Other companies have tried and if im not mistaken, there are now companies making 3D TVs which do a similar job to the 3DS....figures....
Companies that copy inventive ideas really need to stop, all they do is take the flaws from another company, improve it and increase the prices by x10. As a customer, i don't want to see this happening but i DO want improvements, Nintendo are always slow on improvements, though are not slow on deliverance (if that makes sense to you people), this is what makes them weak, other companies will indeed take the idea, try and use it as a USP and will produce better results (didn't i just say this?).
Mario Kart 7 is on it's way to the 3DS, possibly one of the most looked forward to game coming to the 3DS, it has such creativity, such purity, such basic fun. Similar to a fighting game, you can be a noob and still have some sort of chance at winning against players. Only those who have trained and familiarised themselves with both the track and characters will have a great chance of winning, while those who get items can still beat those experienced players with the items provided. As mario kart progresses, the game changes, rainbow road becomes easier to fall off, items become more effective, tracks have much more than a 1 way layout etc. A lot of things change and I feel like with the help of the 3DS and its own features, perhaps the game can become ridiculously competitive. I also liked the fact that you could have up to 8 people who dont even need the game to play with, such features often confirms that Nintendo are just thinking of us :). The only bad thing about mario kart 7 would be that 1 on 1 races will of course be incredible boring, though you would expect that...
I'm moving off the handle a bit too much, my point being that games on the 3DS which are about 4GB big have the ability to do more than a wii, than a PS3, than any previous DS, the 3D function, hardware specs, competition on consoles and crazy apps will boost the 3DS, though like always, Nintendo will tease their audience and will not boost the 3DS to it's best potential. Over the next few months i shall be saying some of the ideas that i have been thinking off will be displayed to you guys, showing what i feel gamers want and how nintendo could use it to their advantage too.
I think this post wasn't as spine tingling as it should have been, though give it some time, every blogger has his weak days.

Palmers College and its lack of support
Palmers College, one of the worse colleges around i must say. As you walk in, the trees, green grass and buildings all look lovely... these of course are the only nice looking parts in Palmers.
Students can only walk on the grass during summer, though there is virtually nothing stopping students walking on the grass, thus giving the grass a mustard effect. Saving my friend from walking into what looked like dog poop on a human size scale is probably the most shocking thing about it all, it isn't clean as the pictures portray though is cleaned on probably a monthly basis. Let me stop rambling on about the outside part, anyone could see that...
The majority of teachers lack the ability to teach or even to understand the main purpose of their job, understandably, there are those days to which I teacher may not care about anything, though this should not have to continue throughout the year. I would say Palmers is like a snow flake as it gently blows, following with the natural light breeze of the wind, go any deeper and you will notice that the snow flake was merely made out of poison and was dropping into the devils soup, to which Palmers is being served.
There equipment for the most of it is half decent, not good enough, but it will do. The computers might have an easily downloadable OS (Windows 7) but there is a low amount of memory on each computer, which to me doesn't make sense. Only ICT/Computing students will use computers on a daily basis, they need the necessary amount of memory, having to ask to add more memory or being limited on such a small amount is unjustifiable by the college.
Want to feel like a sardine? GO TO PALMERS!
Each corridor has such a small range, its incredible someone like myself could even manage to fit through it on a daily basis, loads of people come and go from all directions. Luckily, it isn't a constant flow, you as a student have only two options, leave earlier than 5minutes to which you would have to wait for your teacher either way, due to this you may have to be the colestiole of the blood stream, you will have to wait in the corridor (depending on your class, however the majority of classes are in corridors), as people can only give beams of anger and disappointment as you help slow them down. OR as a student, you can turn up to your class 5-10 minutes late, the corridors are clear, though you face a risk of getting in the danger zone. The corridors can only be described as thin crust from nicely cut bread, filled with a load of oranges trying to get in and out of the narrow lining. Along with typical slow walkers, large groups of friends and those people who just love to stop in front of you and have a mindless conversation about gossip, the only thing you may have to not worry about is that others think the same, you are nothing but a drop in the ocean, there is no difference here. No identify. No arguments.
My ICT teacher (Gavin Gill) refused to mark me and my friend's folder after saying that we did not have anything in order. Originally, i thought "yes, I should have had everything in order" but compared to other people, it seemed untrustworthy. Another one of my friends didn't get his work marked simply because he "didn't have the work in his folder". However, as soon as he got his folder, he opened it up and saw the work which apparently, wasn't there. This just shows what a lack of support he and other teachers do to try and keep students above everything. He was willing to give up his Saturday to mark work for the last time, but he didn't mark mine, a few others and missed out work which he criticise us for not having, when clearly it was there.
It's understandable to think that "yea i told you so" but at the minimum he shouldn't have pestered his students for 1 week about completing the folder and its work. Some pieces of work were not even explain through class. Such lack of teacher support often makes me think why there is even a teacher. All Gavin Gill does is sit at his computer and read a PDF out loud. The only thing the students get from listening to him is the average grade and page number, anything else is either irrelevant or simply unjustifiably stupid.
Having work in a folder (slightly organised or not), Gavin Gill bigged up the situation as if it was 2012's last day on earth, when the user provides the input, i expect the output. An output to which Gavin Gill did not provide. I am better off reading a PDF and saving myself the long distance journey of college only to witness such actions...life lives on, and i still digress, oh well.
I could literally go on for hours on end explaining why im still in Palmers and why it isn't as good as shown, though i don't have the time to rant and im sure you don't have enough oxygen in your lunges to laugh at.
Good day and in my next post, it will be less ranting, more....something creative and whatnot Stay tuned or stay fumed.

Update around my blog....
So, after about an hour of continuous searching for the unseen option to allow me to have editable widgets, I started to think that it was impossible. I was trapped within an endless cycle of stairs running into each other, falling in a loop with no end, a life with no meaning and a world without material. I would have found it easier to win at Connect 4 in three moves.
Eventually, I DID find a way to add widgets and change my layout, it was a difficult process, inventing the telephone would have been easier. Though, through my expertise of the internet and clever high-end thinking, I managed to somehow escape the loop, break the unless falling stairs and free myself from the fear of hopelessness. Feel free,to leave a comment if you have made such an easy mistake.
Ive changed the background, added my twitter feed and added some other features, there are also a donation button at the bottom if you people wish to donate money towards me :)

Movie review - Paranormal Activity 1,2,3
Many of you may be asking yourselves the very same question as im asking myself. "Why review these movies", well, the answer is clear. I do not like the whole "not knowing" scene with these movies, I can potentially save many peoples time from stopping themselves from watching such movies.
Though I have seen many horror genre films, i would say that I have also gained some sort of catharsis effect (meaning the graphical images and typical codes and conventions are not as effective as they should be), thus meaning, some of what I say could potentially be due to the bias side of me.
Paranormal activity 1
I did not watch this until number 2 was out for a while, after using social networks and hearings a wide range of people saying how scared they were from the film, it really hyped me up. I continued to think "wow, finally a good movie worth watching has arrived". The film follows a couple living in a massive house, it includes some of their history which involves completely invisible spirits who wish to rattle common household objects. After a while, the spirit takes control of the main character and she goes on to killing her husband. The police comes and shoot the now-murderer, therefore ending the movie. To me, there are clearly 2-3 jumpy unsuspecting parts though, the level of this is not too high, i'll class it as a raise of a left brow for about 3 seconds. Often social realism films are cool when performed correctly.
To me, Paranormal Activity 1 is the best out of the 3 films, you do not gain such a relationship to the characters and it just felt like im just watching another episode of Spongebob Squarepants.
Paranormal Activity 2
Number 2 wasn't anything interesting, after a while, i forgot what actually happened, though after watching a small segment, remembered again. It takes place in the past to the present, to the future. Nothing is necessarily wrong with this movie, though it was basically like watching number 1, the linear structure was very similar, the characters played the same roles (though their were few more characters playing smaller roles). Though towards the end, it actually suddenly gets better, the quiet house and the character from the first movie appears to kill.
Overall, this was the 2nd best film.
Paranormal Activity 3
Firstly, if you have not already, WATCH THE TRAILER!
cool right? This one actually battled between the second movie for being the second best with me. Though when i rewatched the trailer, i found that the movie itself did not even use clips from the movie. This in its self does not need explaining as to why the film was the 3rd worse.
I heard from people that Paranormal Activity 3 was possibly the scariest of them all, that as usual it was the best one out there. After watching the trailer, i thought this would be true. I heard on many social networks from many people explaining how they couldn't sleep. I watched it, and it is clear that those who say how scaried they were, clearly overreacted. There is one part in the film, where i knew something was going to happen, really i did, but i did not know exactly when. The scene where the babysitter watches the kitchen and everything drops, that was the probably most jumpy part, to which i raised TWO brows to the segment of the movie.
Poor film, poor quality. Im lacking to explain the film in detail as the film lacks its general purpose. The characters are unrealistic and as usual, there will be a 4th movie. Will this be worse? Obviously yes, though people will still go around saying how they couldn't sleep for days. Though, these movies are aimed towards teens/pre-teens I guess that would justify things.
not the best of movies, though no need to watch all of them, simply watch the first as it seems to be the best. Or watch the second if you dont want to watch the first. And if you dont want to watch either, simply watch the 3rd, though it sucks so bad, that you shouldnt watch it.
Though I have seen many horror genre films, i would say that I have also gained some sort of catharsis effect (meaning the graphical images and typical codes and conventions are not as effective as they should be), thus meaning, some of what I say could potentially be due to the bias side of me.
Paranormal activity 1
I did not watch this until number 2 was out for a while, after using social networks and hearings a wide range of people saying how scared they were from the film, it really hyped me up. I continued to think "wow, finally a good movie worth watching has arrived". The film follows a couple living in a massive house, it includes some of their history which involves completely invisible spirits who wish to rattle common household objects. After a while, the spirit takes control of the main character and she goes on to killing her husband. The police comes and shoot the now-murderer, therefore ending the movie. To me, there are clearly 2-3 jumpy unsuspecting parts though, the level of this is not too high, i'll class it as a raise of a left brow for about 3 seconds. Often social realism films are cool when performed correctly.
To me, Paranormal Activity 1 is the best out of the 3 films, you do not gain such a relationship to the characters and it just felt like im just watching another episode of Spongebob Squarepants.
Paranormal Activity 2
Number 2 wasn't anything interesting, after a while, i forgot what actually happened, though after watching a small segment, remembered again. It takes place in the past to the present, to the future. Nothing is necessarily wrong with this movie, though it was basically like watching number 1, the linear structure was very similar, the characters played the same roles (though their were few more characters playing smaller roles). Though towards the end, it actually suddenly gets better, the quiet house and the character from the first movie appears to kill.
Overall, this was the 2nd best film.
Paranormal Activity 3
Firstly, if you have not already, WATCH THE TRAILER!
cool right? This one actually battled between the second movie for being the second best with me. Though when i rewatched the trailer, i found that the movie itself did not even use clips from the movie. This in its self does not need explaining as to why the film was the 3rd worse.
I heard from people that Paranormal Activity 3 was possibly the scariest of them all, that as usual it was the best one out there. After watching the trailer, i thought this would be true. I heard on many social networks from many people explaining how they couldn't sleep. I watched it, and it is clear that those who say how scaried they were, clearly overreacted. There is one part in the film, where i knew something was going to happen, really i did, but i did not know exactly when. The scene where the babysitter watches the kitchen and everything drops, that was the probably most jumpy part, to which i raised TWO brows to the segment of the movie.
Poor film, poor quality. Im lacking to explain the film in detail as the film lacks its general purpose. The characters are unrealistic and as usual, there will be a 4th movie. Will this be worse? Obviously yes, though people will still go around saying how they couldn't sleep for days. Though, these movies are aimed towards teens/pre-teens I guess that would justify things.
