The F*ck.

As I write this for you good people, I am listening to the tranquil music of the Prodigy. At this very moment – Smack my bitch up has just come on.... Erm, be right back...
*several minutes later*
Oh my God – that was incredible... words almost can’t describe how amazing that song is... Of course, ALL their songs are amazing but this one just tops the list! Haven’t heard of the prodigy? Well, I KNOW you’re lying but anyway, I recommend Smack, Take me to the Hospital, Breathe and Voodoo People as great songs you must hear! There are so many more but those are top notch songs for people who don’t know Prodigy.
Now, I must say that I have experienced a lot of hate towards the prodigy and I understand that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea... (I have no idea why I used that analogy because I don’t even like tea) and of course, I’m not here to tell you you’re wrong but next time you’re at the party or rave, just switch on a Prodigy song and you’ll know what i mean – the music goes through you and physically makes you dance! The buzz is better than cocaine. Trust me.
Going over to GCSE news... we all had English Literature today. As soon as we left that hall, some were hugging, others were crying (with joy) and a select few were relieving themselves... the general consensus; happiness! Personally, the questions were what I was hoping for, so that probably helped quite a bit! I hope you all get the results you want and enjoy not having English ever again! (unless you’re doing it for a-level like me :S)
Anyways, that is all for now, may the fuck be with you.
Until next time,
Cein.

Español!

Si puede leer esto, entonces usted es probablemente mejor que yo en español como solía traductor de google para hacer esto en español.
Understand that? Yeah, me neither… Tomorrow is my Spanish listening exam and of course; I’m not ready. I could blame my teacher for my poor Spanish knowledge and place all the blame onto her, so of course, I will. However, I've given up caring for Spanish, so won't go into to much detail - as you probably don't care either!
So... other than defecating over my Spanish exam, I’m also worried about English literature on Tuesday. But you know what? I’m not even going to bother writing about that as I wouldn't want to kill you with boredom!
Going onto Musical Matters, I would like to recommend further listening material to you good people! Many of you will be familiar with Charlieissocoollike from YouTube (for those of you who don’t know, go look him up!), he is a Vlogger but also an musician. He’s in Chameleon Circuit and used to be in a band called Sons of Admirals, however, they have sadly split up. When he’s not with the other band members, he’s doing his own thing and making cool solo songs. I could recommend many to you but the best is easily Duet with Myself (watch the video as well): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVo-S9ns2_A and also check out A song about Acne: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIh0rbpjDPQ I hope you enjoy them!
Today, I also listened to the full Muse album Origin of Symmetry – in preparation for Reading Festival. Favourite songs? Easily Citizen Erased or Plug In Baby. However, the entire album is amazing! If you have been naive enough not to have heard it yet GO CHECK IT OUT NOW!!! The way muse make music is beautiful and this is, in my opinion, their best work!
Before you fall asleep, I’d just like to say good luck to all those doing exams this week!
Until next time,
Cein.

A Handful Of Tim Minchin

Hello there!
First of all, I must apologise for my last post; it was hardly a blog post but thank you for all your great ideas and suggestions for the Vlog! I have sifted through them all and I must say, some were pretty freakin’ genius! However, I have chosen two ‘winners’ – Elise and Kaja. Thank you and well done to you both - your prize will come in the next few years weeks (that is, if I get round to it).
Anyway, on another note – today is the end of the world. There will be “fire and blood and anguish”! *sad face*.  And yes – that means this is the last ever Blog post! Noooooooo! *sad face*. We hardly got to know each other and now, we have to leave and never see one another again! *sad face*. That is if you believe in the Rapture, which I don’t, so we’ll forget these little end of the world scares and carry on as if nothing happened... *happy face*.
So...
On another matter: Doctor Who’s on tonight! I’m so excited! According to the writer of this episode, it’s supposed to be the most frightening yet! So scary, that the BBC are considering putting out a warning before the show about it! Last week’s episode was interesting... I didn’t really like it to be honest – I didn’t like the story line or the whole idea of the TARDIS being a woman. It just seemed too strange for me. What did you guys think?
Going onto musical matters, this week I’ve been rather bored due to revision, so have been trying to find something good to listen to. It was then I re-discovered my love of Tim Minchin. For those of you who don’t know Tim, he’s an Australian Comedian and trust me; he’s very, very funny! Want a listen? I recommend you listening to ‘Prejudice’, a satirical look on people who are prejudice. Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVN_0qvuhhw
Also, I must also tell you of a YouTube Vlogger I have recently found and really enjoyed! His name is Simon and his channel is called ‘In a handful of minutes’. Basically, he reviews things (absolutely anything) and condenses his own knowledge into a couple of minutes, thus the name ‘In a handful of minutes’! The humour is quite intelligent and Simon is extremely witty but alas; he is one of the most underappreciated Vloggers on YouTube. People like Charlieissocoollike and Nerimon both love Simon and his channel; Charlie has even done a guest appearance on ‘In a handful of minutes’ but Simon still has a very low amount of subscribers. Please – check him out: http://www.youtube.com/user/HandfulOfMinutes
That is all for now, so I bid you farewell and hope you have an amazing weekend in this sun!
Until next time,
Cein.

HELP!!!

So here I am. Again. You’re not bored of me already I hope? Anyways... today I’m going to tell you a story! It’s not really very interesting, nor will you probably find it funny – however, I will endeavour to tell it to you anyway!
This afternoon, I had the strong urge to make my first Vlog (and if you non-nerds have forgotten, that’s Video-Blog). I tried doing it on my Blackberry – the video was good but the sound was poor. I tried doing it on my Ipod – the video was good but again, the sound was poor.  I then eventually found my camera and hey presto! The video was good and the sound was good! I was the all hyped to begin, when the bomb shell dropped. I had no idea what to Vlog about or what to do in any videos that you guys would find interesting! So, here it is – I’m willing to give a prize (of which I am unsure of at the moment) to the person who comes up with the most interesting thing for me to do in a video! All you have to do is either inbox me on Facebook or write a comment down below!
That's all I have to say at the moment, I may write again later but for now I say; send your suggestions to me as soon as possible!
Until next time,
Cein.

The Beginning!

Aha! Hello to my blog! I’m Cein and I’ve finally, after months of chatting to my peers about it, decided to join the blogging world!
I’m an avid follower of several other blogs and Vlogs (to those who aren’t fellow nerds, that’s Video-Blogs) but never thought I’d have the guts to make one myself, but here I am and I hope you’ll enjoy reading this and future posts!
Obviously, I will endure to make it humorous and entertaining for you but I can’t promise anything seeing as I’m Irish. As we’re not a necessarily a funny race of people. Sure, we have our moments – but we’re better known for our drink (which isn’t a bad thing!)  and of course our good luck!
Did you know: while every person in the world is assigned an angel to look over them and guide them, Irish people are given a leprechaun to give them good luck! This common practice dates back to pre-historic times and is a closely kept secret in Ireland.
So...  Getting back to things you actually care about... I am currently in the middle of GCSE’s (not that you care about it; but you’re going to hear about it anyway!). They’re the most over-hyped thing imaginable. Sure, some are tricky but all are do-able! Today, I did my English Language Paper 2 – which to you and me is the ‘Poetry Paper’. Now, this had the entire year troubling themselves in anticipation of what was going to be on the test, but when it came to the dreaded paper, it was simple enough! Not ‘easy’ but certainly a ‘nice’ paper (if that even exists). The poem was ‘Water’ by Robert Lowell – just if you wanted to know – and was defiantly a straightforward poem to analyse. It was basically about some guy looking back, very nostalgically, to when he used to be a fisherman in Maine. To be honest, it wasn’t an amazing poem but was better than most I’ve had to analyse in my time!
Moreover, we must move onto more pressing matters! Musical matters that is!
I’ve recently been introduced to Trock and I must say that I love it! Basically, Trock is Time Lord Rock and artists, such as Chameleon Circuit, write and perform songs orientated around Doctor Who! Whoever thought of this was a genius! To those who are interested, I would look up ‘Blink’ and ‘Exterminate, Regenerate’ – both by Chameleon Circuit! I guarantee that you will not be let down by these songs!
I came into the knowledge today that one of my friends, Grace, has met Alex Day! I have to admit, I am extremely jealous! To those who don’t know Mr. Day, he is a Youtube Vlogger sensation! His most notable works include reading each and every chapter of Twilight and ‘commenting’ on it – I must say, he is hilariously hilarious. Look him up: http://www.youtube.com/user/nerimon! 
I will big you farewell here before I waffle on too long and make you increasingly more bored. I seriously hope you have enjoyed reading and will return for more of Cein!
Until next time,
Cein.
