Rod Serling

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

A former boxer, paratrooper and general all-around angry young man, Rod Serling was one of the radical new voices that made the "Golden Age" of television. Long before "The Twilight Zone" (1959), he was known for writing such high-quality scripts as "Patterns" and "Requiem for a Heavyweight", both later turned into films (Patterns (1956) and Requiem for a Heavyweight (1962)). Even "The Twilight Zone" featured forays into controversial grounds like racism, Cold War paranoia and the horrors of war. His maverick attitude eventually drove him from regular network television.

He died on June 28th 1975 of a heart attack aged 50

Motivations

I really don't know why I decided to write a blog. I guess it was the fact that somebody might actually care about my thoughts or even take the time to read them.

Another motivation seems to be the idea that I can waffle on about nothing and nobody is stopping me! How cool is that?!? I'm doing it now aren't I? I don't know who i'm talking to.


Anyway the moral of the story is: Blogs are great because you can talk about what you want!

The Choir

Who watched the Choir last night? I Know I did. Suprisingly it was really good.

You see, the point of the show was that this choirmaster, called Gareth Malone, wanted to get 100 boys to sing at the schools proms at the Albert Hall in London. The boys were all what I would call 'miscrients', i.e. a bit rough.

They performed a great song called 'Stand By Me' by Ben E. King and mixed with 'Suicidal' by Sean Kingston and I can honestly say that they performed it brilliantly. But, kudos to Gareth Malone, who i will hopefully meet at some point during my life, because he is a fantastic guy.

Who Knew?

Who knew that Spain had such a long and interesting history? Certainly not me, that was until today.
Apparantely the Key date in Spanish history was July 17th 1936 this was when it all kicked off. It all started when the government was failing and the country was ruled by many different powers. In the end General Fransisco Franco became the dictator of Nationalist Spain.

He imposed all sorts of cruel rules like: women had a cerfew of 6pm, you were only allowed two children and most media was banned.

It's interesting to know that after Franco died in 1975 the birth rate soared by 30%.

Thought for the day: 'Don't put your hand in the fire. It hurts.'

Is This Illegal 2: Tokyo Drift

Ha, that title made you laugh a little inside didn't it? If not you're a sad old git.
Anyway i thought it'd be funny to call Tokyo Drift, because, to be honest most sequels have weird names and are utter crap.

Hopefully it wont be like that in my blog.

Anyway I'm going off on a rant so strap yourselves in for one hell of a ride.

Right, when I wrote my last post, I neglected to ask: Why is it called SPAM?
And, to be honest, I really want to know why it's called SPAM. SPAM is made of chopped ham and pork. And are e-mails? The answer: no.

I Think it is called SPAM because no-one really likes SPAM except for me and a few other weirdos.

I love SPAM and i think that it's brilliant.

That's really got on my wick that has.

And now... the thought for the day comes from the air-head heiress, Ms Paris Hilton:

"No matter what a woman looks like, if she's confident, she's sexy." - Couldn't agree more for once!

Is this Illegal?

Woah. Two posts in a matter of minutes, is this illegal in the world of blogging?
Never Mind. Anyway my inspiration for this paticular rant is SPAM e-mail.

You all know what i'm on about when you're surfing the internet and you get a message. You start to think 'Ooh, its one of my many friends e-mailing me' and in fact it is a worthless piece of mail.

I Mean I came home today and had messages, one was from somebody called Samantha Young trying to sell me a certain enlargement medication.
Shouldn't they make this illegal? I'd make this punishable by death, make them watch Glee or something.
