No I Will Not Join

£1,000,000 to the person who convinces me to join Facebook. I just WILL NOT do it. Making friends with e-perverts, joining retarded groups and taking abysmal personality tests. Most people I know think it sucks and told me "I only joined because everyone else did". As a base rule, I hate social networking. I only joined Blogger because my PS3 was down and I needed to kill time.

Feel free to try to convince me in the comments. But I should mention that I would rather write notes in my own blood than chat on Facebook, so don't use that as a reason.

Sleep? Why?

After recently receiving a stream of comments in the early morning it gave me an idea for the post. I haven't slept properly for the past four months. All it does to me is make me tired for the first hour of the day. So recently I have been awake and active until 3am. It allows me much more time to work, play guitar, complete games and generally makes me happier. 

But, as usual, my parents heard me moving around and are now angry at me for not sleeping much. The thing is, I'm fine. They miss a few minutes sleep and they can't function for the rest of the week. So why should I waste my youth by unnecessarily sleeping. Let's be honest, all the good TV is a night, nothing interesting happens in the morning. Would you rather watch Mock the Week or CBBC?

All I can say is that without this extra time to kill, I wouldn't have brought my blog back or got any college work done. Although after recently trying to sleep early and spending 4 hours failing I fear it may be insomnia, not youth that keeps me going.

What A "Genius"

I am now the "proud" owner of a new iPod Classic 160Gb.

Long story short, old iPod broke, now I have new iPod. Even my waterproof, shockproof, invincible case couldn't save it. The hard drive died. The model was ex-display so it was a couple of years old.

Now we reach the problem for this post. It doesn't suck and I'm not angry. Apple got me a free Genius appointment and sorted the problems quickly. So I'll tag it something random. I think "broken stuff" will do.

The funny thing is that when I told the "Genius" what I had tried he agreed that I had done everything that could be done. Even without training I had managed to outperform a "Genius". Good qualifications, polite, intelligent and proven experience. Why would they hire me?
