Viewed Views

So, this post is my second, and is all about my views. It especially focuses on people, and how I can't understand a lot of them. I mean, some people seriously think they're insulting you when they're either stating a fact, or just voicing their opinion of you in a sharp way.
The main confusion I get is when people call others 'gay'. They think it's an insult - some people take offence to this, and others brush it off. They get away with it. It's an extremely homophobic thing to say, and I don't think people should be allowed to say these kind of things. At least I have the sense to say, "I don't know". I've barely started growing up, so I can't really make assumptions.
Sometimes people call things gay to express their opinion. For some reason, it's come to mean 'bad', even though the term used to mean happy - a lot of people say it without thinking about it. I mean, how does the ear you decide to pierce determine your orientation? It just baffles me.

Some people need to grow up. I know it sounds harsh, but it's true! Many people just don't realise what they're saying sometimes. Some people are really disruptive, and say the stupidest things, even if they're in top set.
(NOTE: If you don't have 'sets', where you're from, it's how they decide what work to give to students based on if they're able [smart enough]. Top set (set 1) is the smartest, and the lowest set (set 3/4) is for the ones who need most help.) Then again, if you watch politicians these days, they seem to be acting the same way as those in my classroom - and these are meant to be the academics - the ones who lead our country to glory. Why can't they act the part?
I enjoy watching/reading/listening things by people like Stephen Fry. He's very inspiring. Even though, as a comedian, he's done his fair share of silly jokes, but he is extremely smart, he hosts QI, a British general knowledge quiz show, and his series, Fry's planet word, was very enjoyable to watch. He delved deep into not only the English language, but Irish/Gaelic, Somalian, and the re-building Israel's language.

I read an article on www.thesprout.co.uk - theSprout is a youth organisation in Cardiff, Wales. They organise events, and they work with CLIConline to let young people from 11-25 write articles and go to local events. theSprout is the Cardiff branch of CLIConline, which is for the whole of Wales.
Anyway, I read an article called 'Confessions of a Proofreader', where the sub-editor talks about the annoying misspellings of words, in general. There's the your/you're mix-up, the there/their/they're and the two/to/too. There are clear ways to use them, so why don't you?

For the record, I also don't like "text speak", like 'u r' instead of 'you are', but I won't cover that now. Now, I have to go, until tomorrow (I hope). Good bye!

The Great Beginning

Okay, so this is my new blog. Well done. We have established something. The weird thing is, the spellcheck on the 'post' page, doesn't recognise the word 'blog'. Or spellcheck.

A lot of video blogs start, if I can say so, poorly. I haven't actually read a blog yet, but I do enjoy video blogs, so there may be some stage directions.

* wink wink *

That was a stage direction. I know it wouldn't count in a script (and I would know), but it'll do for now. I would have, of course, done some more research if I could've, about blogs, but I couldn't find a way to read one. How am I meant to know if I want to subscribe without reading it? It's a bit strange how you can only go about it by guessing a link. There's probably another way. If there is, tell me.
The reason I'm doing a blog, is the fact that I've always wanted to have a video blog, or vlog. The problem for me is that: (a) I'm twelve years old, (b) I live with a probably intruding family, and (c) I just don't have space to set up.
I would, obviously, just film myself if I could, but I can't just hold up a camera, because the only one I have is built into my computer, and this is where I come round to reason 'c'.

So, a background story -

* sad  BGM *

- not sad -

* childhood memories BGM *

- I'm still a child -

* cricket noises *

- yes, I agree. Awkward.
This is what I mean. I want to be able to make these kinds of blogs which include the things vlogs have that I don't, so this is a written vlog, more than a blog. Right, background story.

So, I live in the Cardiff area, which is in Wales, United Kingdom, if you're unaware. I go to school, yadayadayada - I never get how you're meant to spell that. I like rock, glam rock and....showtunes. I know, weird mix, but have you seen Rock of Ages?

When I grow up, I'd like to be either an actor (yes, with singing and dancing under my belt), professional author, vlogger or a musician. My friends and I would kind of like to start a band, but we are far from that goal. Most of us are instrumentally illiterate. I'd like to think that is a phrase. Why not?

As you can see by the length of this post, I really like writing, and that's why I'd like to be an author, but I'd also like to make vlogs, which I've made pretty obvious. I lay down my pen now, or finger - and will continue on the morrow...
Does the morrow move with time? Is it a case that yesterday's under the morrow, and by tomorrow we expect to be on top of it, yet every day the morrow is moving with us? How agonising would it be, every day, trying to escape a prison of a morrow....

With that food for thought, I say try to avoid having a bad bye.
