A little game

I'm bored so I created this game. I may give out a prize to the winner but I'm not guaranteeing anything.

HOW TO PLAY: I will take the lyrics of popular, mainstream songs but only post the first letter of each word. Your job is to figure out what song it is.

EXAMPLE: I'll use a song that most of you will probably not have heard for this example.

The opening verse of the song "Open your heart" by Crush 40 goes like this:

Thunder, rain and lightning
Danger, water rising
Clamour, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign

For this game, I would post that as:

T, r a l
D, w r
C, s w
I s a b s

If you want to play, just put in the comments the song title and author. For songs that have been covered, any of the artists that have sung it will do.


Let's start the game!

We'll start with an easy one:

First commenter to get it right gets a point.

I thought I had nothing to write about.

I thought I would write a blog post purely because I felt like it. I have no idea what I want to talk about though so I'm going to make it up as I go along.

Right now, I'm pretty much just sitting here talking to a few friends on Skype. I have a good feeling about this week for some reason, probably because I plan on getting this placement changed to a place that will get me relevant experience since doing an admin job where I hardly even touch a computer is going to get me absolutely no experience in I.T. in any way.

That's not to say that the place is bad; it's not. The people have a good attitude and seem to be good at their jobs. I just don't see the point in doing work that won't get me experience in what I need to get a real job in the field I'm trying to get one in.


Let's see... what else has been happening in my life?


Oh yeah! Stickam replied to me and told me that I got banned because of streaming porn. I don't like that they didn't bother to investigate to see if the claims were true but at least they gave me the reason for why I was banned. I sent them another e-mail asking if there was a way to contest the ban and get my account back which they haven't replied to yet. If I can't get my account back I'll create a new one and let you all know what it is.

I know I asked what site people wanted me to use in the mean time but I haven't actually had time to go live on anything the past few weeks. Hopefully I'll have more time soon but I won't make any promises.


I can't think of anything else to talk about so I'll end here. Have fun everyone and look out for new videos on a few of my channels soon. "How soon?" you ask! Well, you'll have to be patient to find out.

From a Guy to a Girl

I've liked you for a while,
I don't know how to tell you.
Instead I write this note,
A note you may never read.
Even if you do read this,
You probably don't know it's for you.

I can't give you what you say you need,
I can only give you something you don't want.
I try to tell you how I feel,
I never seem to get the courage.
I don't want it to ruin our friendship,
That's one reason why I can't tell you.

I always listen when you talk,
No matter what it's about.
I get nervous when you talk about boys,
I get worried that I'll lose you.
Even though I can't stop you,
I don't want you to be with them.

I want you to be with me.

Stickam

For those of you who don't know, my Stickam account got banned a few days ago.

I have no idea why I was banned and Stickam won't respond to any message I send them. I have read the Terms of Service on the site fully and I haven't violated any of the terms set out. There was no logical reason to why I was banned.

The only thing I can think of that could have caused me being banned was because someone constantly flags me but that's only my speculation.

The main point of this blog post was to mention that I will not be using Stickam until they at least contact me and tell me the reason why I was banned. So if you see anyone on Stickam using the screen name "The Borzoi" or anything similar, it isn't me. If I do get another account or get mine back, I will tweet, make a video or post another blog saying.

EDIT: I have set up a poll on the facebook fan page about which site I should use in the mean time. Please take your time to vote as I enjoyed hosting the live chats and want to keep doing so.

...

I hate you, Darren.

What a coincidence...

I was on Omegle just now and this conversation happened:



Connecting to server...
Looking for someone you can chat with. Hang on.
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You: hi
Stranger: hello
You: what you up to?
Stranger: watching youtube videos
You: cool
You: you got a favourite YouTuber?
Stranger: not really
Stranger: you?
You: never thought about it really
Stranger: have you heard of theborzoi?
You: yeah
Stranger: what do you think of him?
You: pretty cool, I guess
Stranger: do you think he's attractive?
You: I dunno
You: I'm a straight guy, so...
Stranger: oh
Stranger: I'm not a guy
You: I guessed
You: rarely does a male ask if another male is attractive
Stranger: I live in the same city as theborzoi
You: is he a friend?
Stranger: not really
You: what do you mean?
Stranger: I've never spoken to him
Stranger: I've never even met him
You: have you contacted him about a possible meetup?
Stranger: I don't think he would
You: you never know unless you ask
Stranger: true
Stranger: I'm too scared though
You: why?
You: just ask to meet in a public place
Stranger: that's not what I mean
You: hmm?
Stranger: I kind of have a crush on him
You: oh
You: and you say you live in the same city?
Stranger: yeah
You: what's your YT account?
Stranger: sorry
Stranger: I don't want to tell you
You: why not?
Stranger: you might message him and tell him about me
Stranger: do you have an account?
You: yep
Stranger: do you make videos?
You: I do
Stranger: what's your account?
You: You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you
Stranger: why?
Stranger: are you going to say you're fred or smosh?
You: no
You: I'm definitely not that well known
You: I'm not even on the most subscribed list
Stranger: then why won't I believe you
You: because I'm him
Stranger: who?
You: TheBorzoi
Stranger: that's not funny
You: I told you
Stranger: you think this is a joke don't you?
You: no, I really don't
Stranger: I bet you're one of those people that takes pleasure in teasing other people's emotions
You: I'm not
You: this is weird for me
Stranger: fuck you
You: I never thought I would find someone who watches my videos here let alone someone from Gloucester
Stranger: you deserve to be stabbed
Stranger: it's not nice pretending to be someone you're not
You: I'm not pretending to be anyone
Stranger: fuck off
Your conversational partner has disconnected.


I can't really blame the person for not believing I was me.

Here's a game...

The person to name most of the YouTube channels that I've created will get a video from me whoring out their channel (or a channel of their choice).

You have 10 channels to name.



I will edit this post every time someone names a channel and put a note next to it of who got it first.

Guesses must be placed in the comments of this post. You don't need to be a member to guess but if you post as "Anonymous" I won't know who you are and won't be able to contact you if you do win.

This goes on until EVERY channel is names. Even if someone has the majority of them.



Guessed so far:

1. TheBorzoi - Pav
2. KaptainKitKat - Pav
3. TheNakedBorzoi - Tara
4. ThePornzoi - Tara
5. FiveAwesomeHeadsets - Tara
6. FiveAwesomeGamers - Tara
7. GameRetrospect - Tara
8. SomethingForMyles - MiniDave

Venting frustration.

Be warned, this post will be very tech related so many of you may not be interested.


Today, I decided to modify the UI on my netbook, which runs linux. I did a search on Google so I could find out what the filenames are for everything to modify on this specific distro of Linux, and found a blog post giving a very good step by step guide for people new to linux.

I read the whole post, then read the comments. The latest one (at the time) gave a link to a blog post on another blog. I followed it and started to read it.

This is when my frustration hit.


The blog opens up by bashing Linux and it's users and states things which are false, such as Linux users always saying that "Windows is some maimed and dysfunctional computing ecosystem..."

The author then mentions that he stumbled across the original post (the step by step guide) and his first comment on it is:

"Oh joy. Not only do we get to see how easy it is to change appearances of the interface, we get a healthy dose of “can’t do this in Windows” bullshit."

Now, I read the original post fully, and at no point did it say that Windows couldn't do what was in the post.

He then compares the problems of the Windows XP version of the Acer Aspire One to the Linux version of the Acer Aspire one. He points out the most common problems but what he doesn't mention is that these problems are mostly encountered by people that have replaced the default OS with Ubuntu, not the default OS.

After that, he says "And if people really want Linux, how the hell do you explain the higher return rates for Linux netbooks or how Windows XP has so thoroughly eclipsed Linux on netbooks sold?"

Windows XP netbooks are selling better than Linux ones because the majority of the people buying them are already used to Windows XP so they head for an operating system they are comfortable with. The reason why the returns are higher with Linux netbooks is because there are some people that buy it without getting a demonstration and then find that they don't know how to use the OS very well, so they take it back so they can get something they're comfortable with.

The rest of the post is just basically bashing Linux without any research into it.


I personally use both Windows XP (on my desktop) and Linux (on my netbook). The reason why I use Windows XP on my desktop is because I play games, and some of (not all) these games do not work on Linux. The reason why I use Linux on my netbook is because I only use that for browsing the internet, which is what netbooks are pretty much made for.


Now, if I didn't play games on my computer, I would be running Linux on it. Yes, the majority of the things I can do on Linux I can also do on Windows but the cheapest I could find Windows XP for a little over £100. Why would I spend that when I can get a free OS that does just what I need?

Thinking...

Over the past week, this one thing has become very heavy upon my mind. I'm not entirely sure why I'm making a blog post about it because I won't be mentioning what it is. What I will say is that my mind is full of questions such as "Should I do this?" and "Should I say this?" with no clear answer.

I know that talking about this with someone could help me clear my mind easier and quicker but I have a feeling that this is something I need to do on my own. If it gets too much, I will talk about it with someone.



I suppose I just wanted to put something out there having not posted a blog in over a week.

Bathering

As I write this I am sat on the train heading home from the Bathering which was held today. The main reason for me writing this is so that I can stay awake during the train ride so I don't miss my stop, even though I can still get home from the stop after mine which is the last on the route.

A total of 16 people turned up. This included Becky, Myles, Kai, Tom, Jacob, Chris, John, Madeline and Lauren who are originally from Arizona in the USA, Dave, Rory (again, don't know your link), 2 friend's of Jacob who I didn't speak to much, Lucero, myself and of course the host: Charlie.

Charlie's mum, brother and sister also made an appearance.


Now, to describe the day:

We went to Pizza Hut.

Hope you enjoyed reading about my exciting time at the Bathering!

Now, I'm going to play Super Tux since there's no internet on this train.

Expensive conversations...

...are so rich in amusement.



Rachael: SNOW!!! I have snow! Are you totally and completely jealous!? I'm such a 5 year old inside! Haha xx

Andy: Had snow for the past 2 weeks so ner! :p

Rachael: You totally fail andy! Your not my friend anymore. :-(

Andy: I was your friend?

Rachael: No. It was all one big lie. My mum raised me to never befriend people from Bristol.....

Andy: I'm not from Bristol! >_<

Rachael: Your such a bad liar. Even in text format....

Andy: ...

Rachael: True story.

Andy: I'll let you believe that.

Rachael: Good lad. You learn quickly young one...

Andy: I may be young but I am wise. The proof is in the beard.

Rachael: As you say... People from bristol are rarely wise...

Andy: Good thing I'm not from Bristol then.

Rachael: Lies

Andy: Truths!

Rachael: More lies

Andy: More truths!

Rachael: Glad to see you think my last text was truth. :-)

Andy: I meant my texts, not yours.

Rachael: I'm not getting into the whole of exchange of texts that say nothing but "lies" etc. But you should know... Women are always right... :-)

Andy: So you admit that you're not a woman?

Rachael: Keep going and you wont be a man much longer!

Andy: I didn't see you deny it...

Rachael: Acknowledge this text as a denial. I am ALL woman!

Andy: But you lost the argument.

Rachael: Did not.

Andy: Now you're just trying to get the last word.

Rachael: Am not.

Andy: And that proves my point!

Rachael: Does not.

Andy: See? You're intent on getting the last word.

Rachael: Am not. Especially since the last few texts have been more than one word... :-P

Andy: But the last word in those texts wolf have been the last word.

Rachael: What evs. The fact you keep replying means you want the last word Haha

Andy: Correct. I do.

Rachael: Tough.

Andy: Titties.

Rachael: Andy.... Be the man you're supposed to be and stfu. Haha.

Andy: Who was the little 5 year old that was excited about snow?

Rachael: Out of context! I said i was a five year old on the inside when it comes to snow.

Andy: Well I'm a 20 year old on the inside so you should respect your elders and be quiet!

Rachael: I'm a 20 year old on the inside too. But unlike some boring Bristol people, i know how to have fun, so ner!

Andy: Not being from Bristol, I wouldn't know.

Rachael: Lies

Andy: OK, you got me. I would know even though I'm not from Bristol.

Rachael: Told you so.

Andy: I still won the argument though.

Rachael: You wish.

Andy: No need to. It already happened.

Rachael: Shush. I've been up all night already cos i'm ill, and as much as i LOVE the banter, you're interrupting my music and solitaire B-)

Andy: How do you think I feel? Every time you text me my music pauses and I have to stop reading!

Rachael: Haha thats amazing. Maybe you shouldn't reply to this text then....

Andy: But I want the last word.

Rachael: Ok.

Andy: Good.

Rachael: Your welcome.

Andy: Still Alive just started playing. It's funny because the opening line is ''This was a triumph.''

Rachael: Theres also a line that says "that was a joke. Haha. Fat chance."

Andy: True, but that wasn't about triumph.

Rachael: Whoever said that the only vegetable to make you cry was an onion, has obviously never been twatted in the face with a turnip....

Andy: That, or they've never spoken to you.

Rachael: I am not a vegetable.

Andy: Prove it.

Rachael: Prove your not a farmer.

Andy: Well, I know how to spell ''you're'' for one.

Rachael: So do i. Except i'm texting other people too so i'm typing each one quickly. You're low on my list of replyings... I only reply so you can't have the last word Haha.

Andy: We'll have to see who runs out me credit first then.

Rachael: How much you got left like? And no lying. You tell me and I'll tell you. Truths.

Andy: £4.13 but I have another phone I can use.

Rachael: Ooh i just checked my balance. I have £4.31 Haha minus the 4p it costs to send this text an i have £4.27.

Andy: So I'll just go top up then.

Rachael: Haha just to get the last word?

Andy: Yep.

Rachael: Lmao. I'll probably be going to sleep soon anyway. Forcing myself to stay awake is not good for my chest infection. I'm exhausted. Lol

Andy: So you admit defeat?

Rachael: Not until i collapse in bed.

Andy: Are these texts keeping you awake?

Rachael: These and my loud music lol. The longer i stay awake then the more night i sleep away. I had my sleep on track on tuesday. It was my first night sleeping on the night and kylid woke me at 2am banging on my door wanting me to go to A&E with her lol

Andy: I think this conversation needs to be blogged.

Rachael: Haha why? All of it?

Andy: Because it's funny and yes, all of it.

Rachael: Haha good luck to ya. Rather you than me Haha. Tell your blog readers i said hi. All 2 of them.

Rachael: P.s. Are you going to blog about the turnip? It's a good turnip.

Andy: I have 6 public followers, actually. I also know of at least 3 other people that read my blog. Also, the turnip is not worthy.

Rachael: You mean you follow yourself 6 times and the other three are your sister, hair fetish freak and your dad? And the turnip is SO worthy!

Andy: My dad, my sister and her friend don't read my blog. You can go to my blog as see who's following it anyway.

Rachael: Can't. No internet. I'm really craving some KFC....Although i would never eat that. Shoop wop!

Andy: Pepperz grill is so much better than KFC. You should visit them if you ever come to Gloucester.

Rachael: I'm totally coming there. I need to steal your dad before Rory does...

Andy: Remember, I'm planning a gathering.

Rachael: Yes i remember. I also know i have to in to dublin in april so you need to hurry up with a date. Oh i forgot to mention that... So um... Yeah... Dublin. Consider it mentioned.

Andy: It's likely going to be Wednesday of the first week of the Easter holidays.

Rachael: What date is that? I don't speak bristolian. Whens the easter holidays?

Andy: 8th April 2009, 21st Century.

Rachael: 21st century? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!? Whoa. I need to stop time travelling with that fucking so called doctor. I think he's a plumber you know...

Rachael: Oh and the 8th should be cool. :-)

Andy: Good.

Rachael: Got anything planned for the gathering? Or will it just be a group of random people sitting around? Hows the blog coming along? Lol

Andy: Nothing planned yet. Thinking about taking everyone over to the park as it's not too far away from the gathering spot. The blog is going well.

Rachael: Lol is there swings at the park? I love the swings. Are you adding all these new texts to the blog too? Shoop wop.

Andy: I believe there are swings. These last few texts have been boring general conversation so I might cut them out of the blog.

Rachael: Haha wicked. And i'm sorry i'm not entertaining enough! Jeez! It's not my fault. I blame my chemical romance. I got my music on shuffle and out of 1500 songs it keeps playing mcr! And mcr is boring me today...

Andy: It's ok.

Rachael: And tbh, your not exactly vomiting riviting conversation yourself Lols

Andy: Oh well.

Rachael: Gay

Andy: Well, I'm running out of credit. We should stop texting.

Rachael: Ok.

Andy: Sleep well when you actually go to sleep.

Rachael: I'll try Haha ttyl.

Just to let you know...

2 things

1st thing: Why do people do things to deliberately irritate others?

Except for the 5 blog followers, I don't really know who reads my blog because there are people that just subscribe to the RSS feed or access it some other way, so this may not be relevant to you.

There are a few people that seem to think it's funny to make fun and deliberately irritate others. I'm all for a good joke but when the joke goes too far and is obviously upsetting or annoying someone, it should stop. Too many times has this happened. I'm not going to name names, just be aware that next time, don't be alarmed if I cut you off.



2nd thing: The "Elitist" group

It seems that some people have taken a comment I made on one of the videos about the UK elitist group wrong, so let me clear things up.

I don't think there is an elitist group of the YouTube community in the UK. The people that were at Dave's house for new years were Dave's friends. People he invited. There was no public gathering organised.

However, there are a few people in the UK community that seem to complain when "randoms" turn up to gatherings and never talk to people with fewer subscribers than themselves. A few of you may know who I'm talking about. I'm fairly certain that they're also only friends with a certain other person just because of their subscriber base, hoping to increase their own.



There's more to say but I'm not going to say it because it'll likely just cause unwanted drama.

Skype Contacts, Part 2

Fooled you, didn't I?

I can't be bothered to do a second part. Sorry to all those that weren't mentioned.

A little story

Now, this is the story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down. I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there and I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air.

In west Philadelphia I was born and raised, on the playground is where I spent most of my days. Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool, shooting some b-ball outside of the school, when a couple of guys that were up in no good, started making trouble in my neighbourhood. I got in one little fight and my mum got scared. She said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."

I begged and pleaded with her the other day but she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way. She gave me a kiss and she gave me my ticket, I put my walkman on and said "I might as well kick it!"

"First class, yo this ain't bad." Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass. "Is this what the people of Bel-Air livin' like? Hmm this might be alright!"

I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the Licence plate said "Fresh" and it had a dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought "Aww forget it. Yo homes, to Bel-Air!"

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight then I yelled to the cabby "Yo homes, smell you later!" I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there to set on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.


Yes, you just got Bel-Air'd.

On another note, I'm thinking about doing another Skype contact blog. Think of it as a "Part 2" so that might be up soon...

Skype Contacts

So, here's my Skype contact list. Like most, I've decided to keep everyone anonymous, yet trying to make them obvious enough so at least the person it's about knows who it is.

This was started by Tara.


1. Stop taunting me with those action figures! >_<

2. I would write something about you, but I can't actually think of anything to say.

3. Why won't you wake up when I tell you to? Our night in bed together must have been very tiring, eh? ;)

4. Why are all of our conversations somehow related to Sonic?

5. We first spoke when I answered a Skype call and you thought I was that person's father. Since then we seem to randomly burst into mostly pointless conversations.

6. We haven't spoken for a while. Not since the days when Stickam was sizzling...

7. I'm worried about letting you stay in my house.

8. Why the hell are you still on my contact list? I hate you. You're being removed right now...

9. People keep calling you and you never answer. How do I know this? Because I always answer it.

10. I can't believe I gambled mod status with you over a game of blockles.

11. You're probably the only regular in my live that's been there since I first started going live on Stickam. Also, you're a whore. I'm only saying that because you requested it though.

12. You were in my house and I didn't know until three days later.

13. We don't speak much any more. I miss that. You also still have my gloves.

14. Why is your Skype pic STILL my poster?

15. Why won't you accept my friend request on Facebook?

16. You never work. You should be telling me people's Twitter updates.

17. Stop rating my videos 1 star.

18. You keep calling me and telling me you're going to join my live on Stickam but you never do. Why?

19. You haven't been online forever and you haven't made a video since forever. I WAS YOUR FIRST SUBSCRIBER DAMNIT, WHERE'S MY ENTERTAINMENT!!??

20. I miss when you used to come in my live. We rarely talk now.

21. I somehow doubt you wouldn't work out this one was about you even if I mentioned your name, Jed.

22. STOP TAUNTING ME WITH THAT PS3. WHERE'S MINE?????

23. I hate you.

24. You never answer my texts. It's like you've forgotten about me or you're deliberately trying to not talk to me.

25. Please use Skype instead of MSN. It's so much better. While you're at it, don't bore me to sleep like you did today.


Those aren't all my contacts, in case you didn't guess.

Contacts

I was going to do a thing started by Tara (TGal227) where I list everyone in my Skype contact list and say something about them but I got bored because I have 215 contacts at this moment in time.

I might do it some other time just mentioning a select few.
