ME and my nevers

Geordie says to do this. He says other people have to too.

It's a list of ten things I'll never do. I'm currently in a lecture learning InDesign so I'll probably do the full ten now.

1. Write a blog post as funny as Dr Matt.
2. Embrace the phenomenon of Coca-Cola/Pepsi/any of its varieties. It tastes like sweat of a fat person who's got AIDS but the people of the world have their tastebuds blinded by clever marketing.
3. Never write a politics-led post as good as Geordie. He's diverse don't you know.
4. Dye my hair blonde.
5. Buy anything to do with ABBA.
6. Stop getting excited when I get a new mobile phone.
7. Stop being embarrassed by at least 10% of everything I do/say/fall off (it used to be higher so I'm doing well).
8. Learn to accept that I'm a tree-trunk-stomper-legs.
9. Stop worrying and learn to love the fruit and veg over chocolate and pastry goods.
10. Use excrement in sexual/culinary acts.

I can't be bothered tagging people as I reckon Geordie will have already tagged them. I would urge you to take part though. For the good of mankind.

This is a duplicated blog post as now that I have two blogs I can't decide where to put it. Thanks.

The potential of YouTube

T'other day I was stood in my housemate's room while he showed me this funny video he'd found via something via something via FHM which was a based around Google Earth and featured a quick zoom from space down to a giant crevasse which looks very much a like a lady's special places. It was fairly amazing and the internet does provide much scope indeed for amusing videos and animations.

When the video came to a finish my eye wandered over the similar videos recommended on the right hand side. Top of the list was the (supposed) footage from Steve Irwin's death. I pondered for approximately two seconds about whether or not I would want to watch it to then quickly decide that, no, I had no interest in it. Boy Housemate III iterated similar thoughts and I moseyed on back upstairs.

A quick search of "steve irwin death" brings up over 700 hits on YouTube. Many claim to be the real thing, others say it may be the real thing but they don't know and others are just spoofs, mock ups or tributes. I don't know whether or not the real thing actually is available, either on YouTube or anywhere else. I haven't opened any of the videos as I don't want to see it. But given the footage of the beheading of Ken Bigley was so easy to find, so I heard, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

It's one of those things where I always assumed the footage would have made it onto the net, I just never really considered it up until I was faced with it (possibly). No doubt many will go on the hunt for it for the kicks and out of pure curiosity. Personally I think it's one of those things I'd rather not regret seeing later. Much like Bad Boys 2 or The Sweetest Thing.
