life sucks?

Well I have finished my first year of A-levels and there have been ups and downs but I have learned one pretty huge thing this year. There is one saying that annoys the hell out of me - "life sucks", no. Screw that. Screw you for saying that.

Okay so now to explain:

Super Mario Bros:

pretty much everyone knows the concept of Mario. Princess peach gets kidnapped, you go through the world just normally just taking things one day at a time.

But in life, there are sections that are pretty sad... some are extremely sad. This can get even worse throughout the day and even throughout the week. This could even ruin the month or the year. This is just because of one stupid moment that happens once.

The thing is, life isn't just crap all the time. Sure! it is full of pretty bad moments. But where we are in the world, we can't say life sucks unless you have something genuinely wrong with you, and I mean people who are physically and mentally ill.

Some moments absolutely make you feel amazing but usually they're temporary. Just like star power ^.^

I believe that there will be something amazing at some point, and it will stay with you forever. It will be the reward at the end. and you will love it, what it is... is up to you but this reward, is what makes life not suck.

Anyways, bye for now :)

You know what's funny?

I love it when I hear people laugh, as long as it's a joyful laugh. I love it even more when I make people laugh, it makes me feel amazing inside, and it is really hard for me to not just celebrate in that moment.

What is extremely sad about my jokes is that the person who laughs at them most is me... yeah, I laugh at my own jokes... every single one. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. And people moan at me for doing it. But the thing is my own jokes actually make me happy... even if most of them are terrible 'Dad' jokes. Just like it makes me happy making other people laugh, making myself laugh makes me happy with the laughter, which in turn makes me even more happier. But I mean who doesn't like terrible jokes every once in a while?

So when I'm on the subject of being happy, you should be happier... yes you. the reader. I don't care if you're happy, sad, angry, shy, gay, straight or Chinese. Everyone deserves it. So here come three crappy jokes

Three warriors from the past, present and future were having a fight to the death
it was a tense fight.

why are NASA so good at strategy games?
they planet.

what do you call a fast zombie?
a zoombie.



well I've made some people happy... temporarily... including myself. woo!

that's all for now

zombie apocalypse, step 2

so it's been a while since i talked about

THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE MWAHAHAHAHFWAIJABEFHIKBHAWEAIFGI

So prepare your pea shooters and defend with walnuts IT'S STEP TWO

STEP 2: shelter

once you're aware that zombies are about, you're going to need to think about where to stay.
so a place where zombies aren't would be best...

So the thing you need to consider when looking at shelter is:

1. Is it too big/small? (if it's too big then it requires more work to check around for zombies which is a risk of being bitten, if it's too small then you are at risk of easily being surrounded by zombies increasing the risk of being bitten)

2. Is there more than one entrance/exit? (Then you can escape easier!)

3. Can you block entrances/exits with the things inside your shelter? (this is when you should consider if the shelter has good storage facilities with a lot of big heavy stuff inside it)

4. Is it good for sleeping in?

So step two... rather simple, well all of this is when you think about it

anyways Bye for now

feelings and the future

Lately I have been thinking... a lot.

It's about how people deal with feelings, how some people will just

Yet others will just keep it inside

Feelings can suck... but they can also be beautiful

I have some beautiful memories, I have some awful memories. But I try to keep the best ones closest to my heart to make myself feel good.

My best memory is when I went on holiday, I went on a cruise ship called the Thompson celebration. I went on holiday with my parents for a week and we cruised to different locations such as Italy and Greece and we saw some amazing things, we saw ancient ruins in Athens and they were overwhelmingly huge,we saw Pompeii next to the giant volcano that destroyed it. My best memory isn't during any of those amazing things that we saw. My best memory is on the cruise ship, I was walking around on my own at night on the ship. I was too afraid to go into the dark part of the front of it , I don't know why but I thought that the hunter from left4dead was going to jump out on me. (this was when I was 14 years old)

I AM WAITING AT THE FRONT OF THE CRUISE SHIP FOR YOU DAN

I stood there staring at the empty darkness ahead of me and I just wanted to go round to the other side, I didn't want to walk the quarter mile around the other side of the boat. So I walked into the darkness and my eyes only just adjusted to the dark, I was walking and feeling the balcony beside me and one by one I could see little sparkles appearing in the sky and I stood still for a second and leaned over the balcony. I looked up and the sky was full of stars. I can't actually explain how I felt when I saw them. I was overwhelmed. Just staring at the stars whilst being in the middle of the ocean. no light pollution, just stars. I could see a belt of stars leaning across the sky. I saw shooting stars. I was just standing... staring. It was the best feeling I have ever had. I showed my parents and I showed my newly made friend on the boat too. Every day on the boat I couldn't wait until night time to look at the beautiful twinkling stars again.

this is what the ship looks like

when I look at the future

I have a lot of friends right now, two extremely close friends. I look into the future and wonder of they'll still be there, I mean they'll have their own lives and all that but I wonder if they will still want to know me, not just my two closest friends but all of them.

Maybe I'll be in one of their best memories. Maybe they will have the odd thought about me. Maybe I won't be in their memories at all.

What if they just drift off gradually and forget. Leaving me to just be alone like Steve on Minecraft

People have different feelings in their own future

Some live happily smiling wherever they go, spreading joy everywhere they go.

Some live their life for others  making every effort to improve someone else's life

some will purposely cause as much havoc as they can for no reason to make others feel horrible instead of them

some people will just not care where they go

But in the end, being alone is the feeling that sucks the most

to be honest, I want to not care about where I go in the future and not worry about what other people think... anyways bye for now ;D

how to treat people

Some things really annoy me. and one of those things is seeing someone who is close to me being shoved around like a piece of dirt. I've seen this in a couple of places such as in my close friendship group, my drama group, my work group, and my church youth group.

I'm going to sum this up in one sentence:

STOP TREATING PEOPLE LIKE PIKMIN

For the people who don't know what pikmin is, you play as captain olimar who has crash landed on a strange planet, this planet is inhabited by little lifeforms known as pikmin. Olimar uses these to find parts of his spaceship and to escape the planet... when doing this he kills hundreds of pikmin... using them to kill any threat.

some people are like this using other people to accomplish thier own personal goals without thinking about the consequences. 

In my church youth group we are extremely good friends! But in every friendship group there are always some personalities clashing with each other. I have no problem with people arguing, in fact it's one thing we love to do in our group! every single facebook conversation either ends up with us having an argument or constantly changing the name of the conversation to something so immature but extremely funny. But we forget about some people when we talk. We have people that we push aside and I hate that! Just imagine going out for a good friday night out and you get pushed aside being ignored for the whole night whilst people are literally dancing in your face ( always to dubstep), having fun without you despite being in the same room as you. The onky time we talk to them is to use their skills for our own personal needs (like pikmin). I guess it feels like when you are extremely powerful in the middle of Deus Ex: human revolution and you're enjoying how over powered you are but then everything get's taken away. leaving you feeling like you're rubbish. kinda makes you wanna

  

My Drama group is essentially the same thing, we have different personalities... some are extremely strong. But one person has had a bad run in the year, probably due to procrastination and laziness they didn't achieve their full potential. If it wasn't for other people telling me what I was doing I would probably have been a lot worse in the school term, but there is a fine line between encouraging someone with negativity and putting them down. Some people would NOT stop going on about what she was doing and frankly it pisses me off the way they treated this person, she is a person too and she has feelings like any other person! But upsetting people for one thing over and over again is just absolutely horrible. To be honest, I think that people are using her to get themselves higher in terms of the friendship group, that is the only reason I can think of that they would treat someone so bad, there is no excuse to essentially yoshi to the next platform. But to be honest this may motivate the person to do so much more with their life and make a change, so in a way, the way people have treated this person is good and bad.

to sum things up

people are not meant to be treated like crap, ignored, abused, or used in any way at all.

whoever the person is, they are a HUMAN being... there are exceptions of course such as if they have wronged you in any way or if they are like Adolf Hitler.

just watch who you treat like crap, they might turn out being a baddass in the end

just try to treat people like you want to be treated like, and if you're one of those people who is purposely a douchebag and just wants to make people miserable

i hope my post actually makes sense to you...

anyways bye for now

the finish line

well my exams are done... i now have 3 weeks free to do whatever the hell i want to do.

i have crossed the finish line!

so obviously i am going to continue writing my blog whilst i am locked in a dark room with nothing to eat except strawberry laces.

for me anyway i have come to that point of the year when you have nothing to do and it feels awesome.

Anyways, time to talk rubbish! Like always!

EXAMS

well what do you expect? i have just finished mine, of course i'm going to talk about them!

So when teachers talk about revision you just can't help but fade away into your own world of wonders, then coming back when they finish the last sentence, agreeing to whatever they just said not knowing what it is and just walk off. Well that happened at the beginning of the year for me and it was exactly like that. I only actually did revision in the last 2 months of my school year.

Some advice for next year:

ACTUALLY REVISE even if it like 5 minutes a day. In those last two months i did of revision i felt almost as mad as Ratman from Portal. Muttering things to myself, writing things everywhere... on paper. I just wonder how Ratman actually revised for his exams. Instead of writing "the cake is a lie" on every single wall that he can write on he wrote something like 'speed=distance/time' all over the walls replacing the companion cube with his trusty text book.

well maybe i'm not quite as mental as him...

the sad thing is... now that it's over, i don't know what to do with myself anymore. I could write another story, learn more songs on my ukulele, watch game of thrones finally. 

I kinda feel like GLaDOS at this one point. "all my life i have heard voices but this time i hear the voice of a conscience and it's MY voice. I'm serious i think there is something REALLY wrong with me" - GLaDOS. I've been studying for a year and all for those 2 weeks at the end. 

i wouldn't mind being a huge ass robot myself

I guess i'm not going to go on a huge adventure... as much as i want to. Just like GLaDOS did with chell in portal 2. 

I should enjoy this feeling for now, as next year i will be wishing i had three weeks of nothing in front of me. 

bye for now 

Dan

It's that time of year again

Exams woohoo yaaaay

This time last year I was procrastinating like there was no tomorrow... now? I'm running around like link in majora's mask, only I wish the song of time actually worked.

In my attempt to do well with my A-levels I am actually revising more than I ever have done in the past times. So over the next two weeks I won't actually post anything... sorry. Revision is actually more important than blogging in my head.

So to whoever actually reads my blog, you will have to wait a couple weeks before I post anything. Just think of dragon age

If you actually waited for a picture to load then... well you don't get the reference to dragon age

for your entertainment I shall post some interesting things

how to keep an idiot busy

What would happen if pinocchio said "my nose is about to grow"?

Does a set of all sets contain itself?

If everything is possible, then isn't it possible for something to be impossible?

The sentence below is always true

The sentence above is always false

And before I go I give you a quest, DO NOT do this quest.

Bye for a couple weeks

Dan

me compared to Luigi... again

As I said in a previous post I am a lot like Luigi in the super Mario bros franchise of games... I would like to elaborate on that.

 

So as I said before Luigi has that one person who is always better than him at everything... Mario.

There is that one person who gets in the way of my dreams actually happening, Luigi loves Mario as a brother, I kinda like that person in the same way. But anyway... I shall stop complaining about this person... for now.

Everyone knows that Luigi is a tiny bit timid. My friends would disagree as I am extremely loud to them but when it comes to actually talking to someone new I just

I get this more at work than anywhere else, I know my colleagues are genuinely nice and that they only want to help... but when it actually comes to talking to them, it turns extremely awkward as I start to talk about the weirdest things, last time this happened I talked about how wallpaper shouldn't have two layers... WHHHYYYY DID I DO THATTT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

This is the same for Luigi... I'm guessing.

Mario invites him go karting and the only person Luigi really knows is his brother, toad and the two princesses. He doesn't like to speak to toad because, well... who would? The princesses? they'd be talking to each other about princess stuff. So that leaves Luigi to talk to Mario. Well Mario would be off talking to all his other mates: Yoshi, Wario,Koopa trooper, etc. Luigi is on his own.

Now listen here u little shit

So when it comes to it, Luigi is a great guy but he has his bad side like in super paper Mario... When he becomes Mr L

So Luigi temporarily turn evil in Super Paper Mario on the Wii. I too have these moments, and I'm sorry to the people i have affected through these moments. People will agree though that I am sometimes a complete and utter DOUCHE... I also think it quite a bit to be completely honest. This is when I need Mario to bring me back down.

ahh that's better... oh dear looks like I am going to write about Mario again.

In my opinion It's those moments that make other people seem better than me

People don't select me when they have the chance, people don't want to be with the underdog. I don't want to be the underdog anymore. I want to be looked up to, I want to inspire people, I want to get the girl and I am determined that I will achieve this, not yet but maybe in the future Luigi will win over Mario... just like I will win over life.

One day

Bye for now

THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE step 1

Okay... I said earlier in one of my previous post's that I would post a plan for the zombie apocalypse, I have decided to do this in multiple different post over time. Just so you know.

Step 1 

step one depends on how you have found out about the zombie apocalypse happening but they both lead to the same outcome. there are two main ways that you can find out about it:

Being told by a: the news or b: by someone else

OR

experiencing it for yourself

If you find out through the first way then lucky you! You have time to prepare! for step 2!

If you go through the second way then you have to think, wherever you are sitting- reading this right now. What would you do if ten zombies came rushing into the entrance of your room right now?

o shit

 For me it would be obvious... depending on the person near to me I would sacrifice their life... if it was someone I like but don't really value as a person that much. THEY WOULD BE PUSHED OVER IN ORDER TO BE PAINFULLY EATEN ALIVE BY ZOMBIES. If it was someone I value more than myself such as family and a few friends then I would just run and drag them with me (ha you thought I would be all hero like didn't you?)

Once you have exited the area then it is time for step 2... which will be continued in another post.

Anyways, stay safe.

Different people compared to video game characters

HOLY CRAP some people just make you want to 

SCREEEAAAAAMMMM

yet some are a lot better... some

I think since it's appropriate... I shall link this with gaming

There are many things that annoy me what people do and so first of all I will start off with a well known video game character that everyone just... hates... because he's a dick.

Handsome Jack (Borderlands 2)

"whoa! [laughter] did you see her face? it was like PFHHT!!! [laughter]" - Handsome Jack

For the people that aren't familiar with Borderlands 2, Handsome Jack is the main villain of the game.

He relates to a guy mentioned in my previous post... the pretty boy who hurts people for no reason.

my life last year was made a misery by the Handsome Jack of my year at my school. He made sure my life was crap whenever i was in school. I would dread English lessons where he would make every effort to sit next to or near me in class. putting bruises on my arms and making extremely offensive comments about me whenever he could.

In borderlands 2, Handsome jack makes pretty funny comments at you such as naming a diamond horse Butt Stallion because that's the closest he can get to your name. The comments that MY handsome jack made were pretty much all about my weight at the time which led to most of my year calling me 'double D' because of my initials (Dan Driver) it was apparently my bra size for my man boobs... original. People still call me that today -.-

In borderlands 2 Handsome jack sends his arsenal of robots and engineers after you. My handsome jack in my year would punch me himself leaving bruises and sometimes send his arsenal of friends to do the same thing... School years are the golden years of your life... of course.

The worst thing was that when he was doing these things to me, he thought he was amazing for doing it!

HIS WAS SO FAR UP HIS OWN ARSE THAT HE COULD TASTE HIS HANDS IN HIS MOUTH

anyway... now it's time for me to be hypocritical

Navi (The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time)

I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN

This is that one person that will not get the message that you would prefer to be somewhere else rather than stuck talking to them. They will not leave you alone... at all... you have to use the stealth techniques that you have learned from all of the stealth games like thief and dishonored in order to keep away from them.

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONOONONONONONONONO

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to hurt the person and just tell them "I DON'T LIKE YOU GO AWAY" but at the same time I'm not exactly nice to them... I'm sort of like a zombie pigman on minecraft I will say hi and just walk past but only if you don't fucking get in my face! NO YOU CAN'T HAVE MY GOLDEN SWORD. *ahem*anyway... When that one Navi comes up to me and starts prodding me and hugging me and keep on asking for a hug off me saying I should "hug my emotions away" I will go all zombie pigman on yo ass. But then they spot you and are all like "HEY LISTEN".

Or maybe I'm just acting like the witch on left4dead

Bioshock little sister

Now in the first two bioshocks there are little girls that you do anything to get and to defend from other people that are trying to get her as well... my closest friend is exactly this



I am refering to the little sisters in bioshock 2 (even though they're the same) just because the big sister is involved in bioshock 2. The little sister is involved with two people, the Big Daddy and the Big Sister. The person who I am refering to has two people that they are closest to, in her case I would call myself the Big Daddy just because the little sisters prefer the Big Sisters but still adore the Big Daddy. The Big Daddy will do anything to defend and look after the little sister but the Big Sister is massively overpowered and the Big Daddy will die about 9 times before he can kill the big sister.

When it comes to friendship... I would say it hurts to have the friend play favorites when they're your favorite... kinda like Eleanor Lamb's connection with the big Daddy is thwarted by Sofia Lamb.

Which character am I?

I would adore it if I could say Link off The Legend Of Zelda or if I could say Corvo Attano of Dishonored. The reality is if it was up to me to decide who I am, then I would say I was Luigi out of the Super Mario franchise...

Luigi is a very lovable character who ocasionally makes people laugh with his personality... though somebody is always infront of him, who everyone loves more, who people would rather choose... Mario. For me there are a lot of Mario's in my life. People who do better than I do. People who can get friends better than I can. People who are just better than me...

You're doing absolutely fine on your own but then that one person just... just... JUST

 

and that leaves me sitting there just like

 

But the thing is... just like Luigi, I'm used to it. People would rather choose Mario than Luigi in the different games such as Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. Luigi actually thinks he has a chance with Daisy but he knows it won't happen... despite the amount of effort he puts in on his Luigi circuit on Mario Kart literally making a huge Golden statue of him and Daisy skipping around.

just like Luigi I am terrified of many things but just like ghosts are what terrifies Luigi... Love is what terrifies me. Don't get me wrong I would love to have a girlfriend but I think the pressure to get one at my age and just to get in the sack with them is unbelievable... and it terrifies me making me feel uneasy... but the thing is, i can't stop myself. It ends up with me wanting to

"YAAAAAAAH" - Luigi

I think that concludes my post

In the end... I am almost exactly like Luigi
