Blackfalcon's Life, Thoughts, Feelings, Ideas, etc

So yeah, another riveting update on stuff.

It's a while since the raffle, I know, but I haven't made a post about it so screw it. =D I think I have the luck of the Irish, because it's my second successful haul. I knew I wasn't going to top last year's winnings, but I did. @_@

So thankyous time!
Thanks to Zhou Tai Rocks, for the song he auctioned! I'm listening to it loads, the best thing I've ever won in a raffle (In all the two years I've participated! :thick:).

Boontz_Lottie kindly auctioned off a letter, and given that she's in Australia I must give a big thankyou for being so generous! I can't wait to get it. :)

Thanks Magnaillusion CM for the video shoutout!

A few other things I've won but haven't recieved, so thanks to those guys when I do. 8D

For everyone who won a drawing by me, I'm working on it, only I'm so damn busy. 3= Easter break I should get at least one done.

Ok, so even though nobody will have noticed I have been less active on Neo lately. The awesome news is cos I got a PS3, along with LittleBigPlanet, which is awesome!

But I'd be lying if I said that the PS3 is the only reason for my reduced seeking. No, I've been spending equal time on my sisters' new Wii.

So this one goes out to all Wii gamers. Because I have a confession to make. Secretly I have always looked down on you. I've always thought the Wii was for kids and people desperate to get thin but too lazy to get some real excercise. I'm sorry, but I've always thought you weren't a real gamer.

I was wrong. Man is the Wii fun! I'm loving Wii Sports Resort, it's so entertaining! It's such a great way to relax, and my Mii just makes things more fun. It's actually quite an immersive experience.

So yeah, Wii actually rocks. Who knew?

In other gaming news, I'm having a hard time setting up my PS3

So, last Friday I went to Top Gear Live! =D It was so awesome, really good show! Saw some ridiculously amazing cars, the Batmobile was there! =O That thing is HUGE.

Saw some brilliant Aston Martins (<3) along with lotsa Ferraris, a few Maserattis and lots more! =D I was worried that since we'd got the cheapest tickets possible the show would suck, but there was a really great setup! Not matter where you were you could see the stage perfectly, which was lucky since we were in the back corner of the audience! xD

Anyway, those guys really know how to put on a show! =D I really enjoyed the whole thing, loved Top Gear already but know I love it more! Three genuinely funny guys who somehow manage to incorporate cars into their show, it's a recipe for success! The Stig was unreal, he's an amazing driver, and watching him do a loop-de-loop was just so cool!

So, the show is an all-round win. Lotsa f

Last Wednesday Ireland were playing France. It was the World Cup Qualifier, guaranteed to send the winner to South Africa. Ireland were already 1-0 down as France had scored an away goal the previous week.

What a match. Ireland were AMAZING! A small-country team with average players, and we were leading France along a merry dance around the pitch. France were struggling in their own half, and the shots were coming like wildfire for Ireland. Only problem was, we couldn't get the ball in the net.

And then, in the 32nd minute: Robbie Keane Scores
Amazing goal. The run Duff made to save that ball from going wide was amazing, this was a team that could keep Ireland out of the World Cup.

Second half was action packed, but no scores. Plenty of shots, though. So we go to extra time. And then, France score.

Okay, watch this:


I have no problem losing to the better team, but this is depressing. The fre

So, yesterday was mid-blowing! =D

Having made a short video for Youtube during the summer, I won a competition for the most views against 3 other videos made by others. The prize- A free iPod and a day's internship in Google!

Okay, so I'm still waiting for my iPod. >.> And I did have to send 3 emails to remind Google about my prize, so I'll sort that out soon enough. But Google HQ is AMAZING.

We walk into reception. On the wall there is a huge projection of Google Earth on the wall, flying around to random places! Pretty cool. But beside it, a list of random words and phrases scrolling down. Our guide told us it was a live feed of things people are Googling right now. Such spying capabilities! @_@



Upstairs we came across the visitor computers, so I proudly sent a PM saying "I'm on a computer in Google!"



We then had a game of foosball, as there was a table nearby (My team won, obviously). We

So last night I was watching Rude Tube. It's basically about the most popular videos on Youtube, and has a few cheap laughs. But it was actually quite interesting, or at least some of it was.

A very high-ranking video was one about the guy who came home to Australia to find nobody waiting for him. He then launched a campaign in which he stood outside the airport with a sign, "FREE HUGS". He welcomed complete strangers back home, and I thought it was a really nice gesture. The thing is, people followed his lead and did the same, and thus there was more love in the world.

And it made me realise that I want to make a difference. I want to catch people's attention and more importantly, make them
ponder something important. I want to do something cool, and moving.

I'm now trying to think up some awesome publicity stunt. Ideas?

So yesterday I went shopping. Big whoop. Bought a hoodie, two t-shirts, a bar of chocolate and a drink.

But here's the thing- It was my first solo shopping trip. I've NEVER gone clothes shopping without a parent with me. I'm 16.

I hate shopping. It's hot, boring and my feet always hurt afterwards. Nothing ever fits and clothes today suck. But this time, it wasn't so bad! It was actually sorta fun, and I got what I wanted. Nice cool and cheap stuff, I'm proud of me! =D

So yeah, I've been converted. Shopping rules.

I've also finished reading an awesome book, "Chasing Vermeer" by Blue Balliet. Really worth a look if you like children's books, a great mystery and overall an enjoyable read. Also, there's a message hidden in the illustrations! I'm trying to crack the code, it's fun!

Completed Lego Batman a few days ago. 20 hours of pure fun. Cue nostalgia.

I've always loved Lego. Still remember the first set I got. My Aunt gave it to my brother and I, it was this awesome space station with a spaceship. That evening Whitefalcon and I sat at the kitchen table, building away happily. Over the years we've continued building and playing with Lego, getting better and more inventive. At 16 though I've stopped buying sets. It was much simpler when I didn't have to use my money. XD

Batman is equally awesome. Used to watch the gay old show with my brother when we were younger. One of my earliest memories is getting up with WF at 7AM, going downstairs, turning on Batman, and sitting behind the couch eating peanut butter with sppons. XD Those were the days, huh?



The game is so fun, simple yet entertaining. It certainly wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but I like playing easy gam

It's all about DS these days. That's right, without a PS3 I have resorted to handheld gaming, and it rocks! =D

One day I come home, and see this external hard-drive sitting besude my computer. I ask Dad "What's this for?"

ONLY THE BEST POINTLESS GIFT EVAR! =D

Turns out this mother*bleep*er has a terrabyte of music and DS games! From S-Club Seven to Metallica, Atomic Kitten to Rammstein, there's almost everything imaginable. The iPod Classic is that much closer to 120GB used. XD

Also, my Dad got R4s. They're cards onto which you can put loads of stuff, including games, obviously. They also have a few other awesome features...


Games on the R4


The R4 iPod application! =D Playing Safety Dance, of course.

I'm going to use my blog to talk about whatever I feel like, because I have stuff to say. I dunno, just want a place to vent. =)

I'll appreciate it if you read/comment! =D
