The Whole World And You

This world is full of amazing events, even the strangest things can happen from a cat saving a boy from a dog to a 'baby' t-rex throwing a pitch at a baseball game.

So yes strange and sometimes wonderful things can happen in this wacky ol' world of ours but it also goes to stand that alot that is out there is complete and total bunk, out to mislead or even potentially take money away from you or damage your computer, as a user of the book of face I see all too often these stories which I call 'clickbait', stories which read like "first I was saddened but then I was shocked!", who the frig has that as a headline or link title, oh wait, people who just want other people to go to their website, people get money from people visiting websites, it's a easy enough thing to set up. there was one particular instance which i've seen in which a man falls down and asks for help, someone walks by (saddened) then someone helps him (shocked!), what more concerns me that what about the person FILMING the entire thing, they saw it why don't they help?, because it's a set up.

Not to say that genuine acts of kindness don't happen or that selfishness doesn't exist, but you have to take a lot of these supposed articles at face value, yes it was filmed but you have to think, who shot the video, why did they keep recording, I mean who records a video at a distance of a man in distress?

I'm a avid reader of this lovely site called snopes.com they look into a lot of hoaxes and 'clickbait' articles, as well as covering urban legends, 99% of the time you can find something that someone has shared on facebook of dubious intent on there already busted, whats that? Flight MH370 was found in the Bermuda triangle? busted, that is just -one- thing I can bust instantly, there is a story about a 'cancer killing fruit' which they are looking into.

Don't believe everything you click, use your brains people and if you seriously believe some of the more 'out there' stories, "They're spraying chemicals in the air after airplanes, it's geogengineering, it's poisioning us!!!!1", I have a couple rolls of lovely tin-foil you can make a hat out of!

(also, those 'trails' are caused by hot exhaust from the engines being put out in a -cold- sky, it's colder the higher you go!)

I'll always find strength...

There comes a day where you find a way to escape
A blank page, now I'm writing out my own fate
I've grown tired of running away from a thing called reality

And I will scream from the top of my lungs
I'm living to fulfill my hopes
(Can you hear me?)
I'm no longer taking the safer way out of anything
(We'll never go back home)
I'll always find strength from those who will help me
They'll always be there by my side
(I'm on my way)
The hope for tomorrow
Will help me ease all my pain today

Today I had a bit of a run in with some rather unpleasant comments via my twitter, I'm not going into details but when random strangers are judging you for who you are and what you on a public space, it's not nice, each and every comment was filed and reported for abuse on Twitter, I don't stand for it, I'm alright but I'm shaken and only a little upset.

I have to thank my coworkers and my boyfriend who where there when I needed someone to talk to, I was more rattled than anything, you guys make my life awesome, I try not to let idiots upset me, I can be thick skinned but sometimes things can pass through and hurt, everyone I know is supportive of who I am and what I do, it's just a shame that there are idiots in this world that the rest of us have to put up with.

Thank you all.

The Next Generation?

So I finally snagged myself a PS4 and I'm very happy with it, it's early days for the system and I think it's got great potential, recently it gained a update in which you can edit videos which the system records automatically, it's a really useful feature for me so I've tried it out with a bit of footage that I've got already, I'm looking at doing longer more proper videos in the future, this was edited entirely on the PS4 with all in game footage. And yes that is a Lego Smaug roasting a sausage.

All footage is PG rated, no swearing, few moments where those who have a fear of heights might not like so much. Taken from Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes, Infamous Second Son and Lego The Hobbit.

I think I may just use the editor to trim down videos to export to my PC for proper editing, the transitions it does make it look a little professional to a point but it's missing 'character', it's just cookie cutter templates, but it's a step forward.

My only gripe with the PS4 is the choice of titles is small but it's early days yet, there are some fantastic games on the horizon and I'm looking forward to playing them!
