Why do people waste money on brands?

A brand is defined as a product manufactured under a particular name. Seeing as we live in a capitalist and materialist society, brand names are given a big importance. Brands are all around us. If you need more convincing, go to any shopping mall or coffee shop. Basically you will see people being slaves to a brand. Why are we, as a species, so compelled to buying specific brands? Why do people become what is considered a Brand Slave? In my opinion, there are three reasons: we find routine in purchasing certain brands, it comes subconsciously, or there are social influences.

There are many reasons why people buy certain brands. I think it’s because humans love to follow routine.  We have used a product before and we have become comfortable with it.  Therefore, we will follow that routine and continue to purchase that same item. I would be lying if I said I don’t buy specific brand products. I do buy certain brands, but I have my reasons behind it. Those reasons include price, quality, functionality, the purpose for which I'm buying it, good reviews and even if it's environmentally friendly. It can be as simple as choosing a type of soda. When it comes to choosing between Coca Cola vs. Pepsi, I will always pick Coca Cola. Coca Cola has a more caffeinated taste to it which I prefer over the more sweetened taste that is Pepsi. I also have preferences in brands when spending a larger amount of money. For example, when it comes to snowboards, I have favoured Burton  which coincidentally was the brand of the rental board I first learned on. There are many different snowboard companies, obviously some are better than others. The reason I always get a Burton snowboard  is because the technology put into the board works with exactly what I need. Burton was the first ever snowboard company. They have been in the business for a long time and still continue to improve the quality of their boards. However, I still do my research and look at other options for a board that suits me and fits with my style of riding as well as my budget.

Another reason we buy certain brands is more from a subconscious level. Many companies have been around for a long time and we have learned to associate certain products by brand names instead of the item itself. For example, when we say: "I need a Kleenex", we really mean that we need a tissue. Kleenex is just a brand name but it has been used for so long that we automatically call it that. Another example is Under Armour. It’s a company name that became big for its tight fitting sportswear, but the actual term for that product is compression shirt. Because we use the brand names instead of what the item is actually called, it increases the likelihood of purchasing the product of that actual brand instead of another.

Finally, I think that the main reason for buying specific brands is due to social standards and influences. Humans seek to fit in with others. Therefore, we are willing to spend money, sometimes a large amount, to have something that gives us that sense of belonging to a certain crowd. Unfortunately, some people think that it’s okay to spend a lot more money just for the brand name and not necessarily the quality of the product. The biggest example is Apple. I can walk into any public place and see a lot of people with iPhones. Since there are so many people with this type of phone, people will think that it must be a great product and will purchase it. Don't get me wrong; it is a genius marketing company. The issue I have with Apple is the way it presents things to the public. Apple advertises their products to be revolutionary  when in fact they are like every other product out there. For example, a MacBook is around 1700$, when in reality the specifications that are inside the computer are the same as any other laptop that is around 700$. Which means that if you are interested in buying a Mac computer, you will be spending near 1000$ for the light up Apple logo on the back. It’s not just their computers, but everything. Now the new iPhone 5 has been announced and is soon to be released. However, it’s a product that is trying to catch up. It’s now a product that is almost two years behind the technology available today, but Apple pretends like it changes the technology industry every time. To be honest I can’t explain why people are so compelled to buy Apple products. It could be because they make it sound so good and the less tech-savvy and trend-following people believe everything Apple tells them, just like sheep following their shepherd.

As you can see brands are all around us. There is no problem with buying the cheaper brand or the more expensive one, as long as there is a good reason behind your purchase. If you’re not sure if you’re buying a product just because of the brand, ask yourself this: Why do I want to buy this? If you can’t come up with many reasons do some research, read reviews, look at other products for different options. Do you really want to become just another Brand Slave?

Let the Olympic Games Begin(forgot to post it)

This is one of my favourite times of the year summer and winter. It a time where people come togheter as everyone is proud of the nation in which they reside. To begin every olympics there is an opening ceremony. 3 hours that the host contry can show there heritage. But sometimes there are things that arent right. For example i live in cananda and i can tell you that the over exagerated the native americans.

Im typing this as im watching his and this is cool because england has alot of history to show. But in the begining they hads farmers that came out from trees and they looked like hoobies or some sort of mystical creature. There is the syncronysed drumming, sure it takes practice but the thing is that it was done in bejing so thats all i could think of.They showed the beetles with the colourful jackets but the issue it that there was a giant trumpet on a bike so it looked like who ville from the grintch. 

But after that was great because they showed the industrial power that england was and made olympic rings which was awesome. 

Then after they had daniel craig as james bond and went to go pick up the queen of england and they parachuted into the stadium so that was funny but when see was introduced as she entured she didnt even smile or wave like come on. This should be happy.

This ceremony has alot of dancing and coreagraphy in this which i personly like bcause its not boring its more fun and upbeat. They are even showing some part of the culture like litterature they had j.k. rowling speek and showed charaters like peter pan, captain hook, corella devile, mary poppins and valdermort which make it more fun for people of all ages.

This make me laugh so har. They have rowan akitson in an orcastra playing one note and boy he made it so funny with is antics. I cant wait for it to be ok youtube so i can post the link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZC7eH_39P4

The commentator of the channel i was watching said that Tim-Bernes Lee is the inventor of the internet. Well that is sooooooooooooo WRONG. He just made up html which is the language of the internet.

Holy shit, during the country entrence, cuba came up and the flag beror was huge and was able to wave the huge flag around with only one hand.

This was so funny when czech republic was up. They were wearing rubber boots and carring umbrellas because you know england is a very soggy place.

I always like to see a country with only one atheletes

Let the games begin.

Movie Review: The Dark Knight Rises

I haven't done one of these but here we go and maybe in the future ill do more but this movie made me want to write a review.

The dark knight rises was directed by christopher nolan. This is the set to put an end and answer some questions about batman.

Before going to this movie i decided to do some research about the movie and what people were saying about it. Some said that the movie dragged on to much between the interesting parts and that there were new characters that were put in that shouldn't have because they have to spend time talking about there back story.  I will be addressing those parts and throwing in my opinion.

The two opinions from other reviews i had mentioned previously i found semi false. Yes some new charscters were added but the backstory was explained in a more brief manner(being inside of a conversation).
The running time of the movie is 2 hours and 45 minutes so of course there will be gaps in excitement but we can't forget that is it was all excitement all the time, you would get sick of it. When watching this i did not find myself saying "oh come on whens the next action scene."

If you want a comparison between both dark knight movies, well you can't get a completely accurate one because they are not entirely the same type. Sure there is action and super heroes and bad guys in both but in the original dark knight the story had more chaos put on the city in a short amount of time thanks to the joker. In the dark knight rises, it is more emotionally and with a deeper plot with a back story.

Lets compare the vilans

In the first dark knight heath ledger played the joker. Sadly passed away after but his version of the joker was one of the best of all time. Everything from the way her talked and walked and even sat. You were thinking this guy is a nut job. There is a line he says to harvey dent that he is like a wild dog chasing cars, and he wouldn't know what to do if he ever caught one and that was a very believable methafor to explain what the joker was doing to gotham

In the dark knight rises the villain played by tom hardy as bane. He was playing a role of a man who was inpresioned in a hell hole and then later becomes a terrorist toward gotham to attempt to give back the city to the people. I found some of the fight scenes with batman a little boring but still some what exciting. But its when you had bane taking over the city or ruling the city thats when you got scared of him. I was a bit scared of him also. And the mask he wore that changed his voice made tom hardy even more intimidating.



**************************************************************************************************************SPOILER ALERT************************************* *********************************************************************************

The point of this movie was to put and end to the christopher nolan batman trilogy. So the question is did he do a good job? Well I think he did close it fine but also gave room for a new series of movie. When bruse wayne "died" he was left the bat cave to an orphan cop named Blake played by joseph Gordon-levitt. We find out that the characters real name is Robin!yes the same robin. I cant lie to you i knew that was going to happen because there was a conversation between batman and blake about wearing a mask. So from that i thought he must be batman and later on he quits the force and that just confirmed it. But a thing that confused me is that bruce wayne or batman died to save gotham from a nuclair blow. Then alfred was crying infront of a 3 tombstones of thomas wayne, martha wayne and bruce wayne saying that he had failled tem and thats when u get all choked up.  But the confussion comes when alfred goes to a cafe in france. like he was done for the passed eight years when bruce left gotham, he was hoping that he'd see bruce sitting across the cafe with a family to show that he moved away from the batman part of his life. So sitting there alfred looks up and he sees bruce, that brings a question, what the hell happened, is he done with batman, will alfred help robin. Im sure that the batman nerds will know but for most people they dont.

**************************************************************************************************************DONE THE SPOILER********************************** *********************************************************************************

Overall this movie is really good you should go and see it. This is a rating from rotten tomatoes.

Ps. what happened in aurora colorado is a great tragity. But i dont not want people to say that christien bale when to the hospital because of a petition. You are fucking stupid if you think that. Im sure he is a good person with a good set of morals and went there for him not because some idiots on facebook who think they help anyone with any sort of facebook petition.

I'M BATMAN!!! shhhhhhhh

Wisdom teeth removal: Day 4

Yes i forgot to post yesterday but nothing really dosnt change. I get a bit better and i get a little more adventurous with what i eat. 'The main thing that this surgery has caused me is becoming very depressed because im basicly trap inside bcause all the things i like to do, im not being permited to do because it could either cause the stitches to break or i may fall and hurt my self making the healing process longer. So that really what i have to report i just wanna go out and have some fun again.

Wisdom Teeth removal: Day 3

well its been 3 days. nothing really special to reports its pretty much the same thing as day 2 except a little less pay and eating and chewing a bit more. But mirrrors make me sad because the swealing dosnt change to much and my face looks like i weight around 300 pounds.

thats it

Wisdom teeth removal: Day 2

Day 2 has started and well sleeping was hard because I have to find the perfect position. Anyway I managed to get a decent amount of sleep. Today i was thankfully able to have a little more varity in my diet. My visiting aunt being the loying caring women she is made me crepes for breakfast. For lunch i had tomato soup with white bread(no crusts) and for dinner had mac & cheese which mad me really happy. Kep in mind will all of these meals i was not able to chew and i dont think i will for a while because i an so paranoid about the stiches but i digrese, so i just put smaller amounts of food in my mouth used pressure from tounge and palette and some seliva to help it go down. after i was done eating my stomach wasnt to happy about the unchewed food.

For some reason my left cheek swealing went down a good amount but my right side may have increased over night and after continuing to ice it there has been no change in size so that has me a bit worried. but the right side is also the same side the blead more and was more swollen to begin with.

Let's see what tomorrow brings me.

Wisdom teeth removal: Day 1

I will be documenting my experience with the removal of my wisdom teeth.  so today is when i remove them. I had i surgery. they put me asleep with anestetics and then i didnt rememeber anything. im thinking that if its a man made sleep i dont think you dream. The nurse keept yelling "Eric! Wake Up!" and when i was finally up, i was ready to get out of there but obvious i had to spend 30 more minutes so they can make sure i was good to go even if i felt perfectly fine. 

             How I think I look                                                        What I really look like

                                                                    this is a picture of me a few minutes after waking up.

The moment where i sat in the car to go home i was imediatly hit with a massive hunger and pain in stomach due to not eating since midnight last night because you need to fast. So that made me really pissed off and violent. The moment i got home i grabbed a smoothie, drank that and boy did i feel better. 

On the first, my diet is mainly smoothies and soft ice cream but i did have a bit of white bread with butter just to and a bit of variety and so i can eat solid foods. Do you remember as a kid you always wanted to have ice cream for every meal isteand of anything else. Well once that came true for me, let me tell you it sucks. sure its nice once and a while but this is the only food i cant have and all the other delicious foods are laughing at me. 

 i stop bleeding a few hours after the surgery. as the freezing wore off i started to feal pain, my spit glads went back online and into over drive, im icing my face quite regularly to help  the swealing go down. 

That pretty much concludes my first day lets hope sleeping goes well and that tomorrow will be better.

So it's now officially summer

Well here we are. Its summer time again. I have many plan and many videos I want to shoot and post this summer.

I am now done my school year and looking back. I'm like holy shit this went by so quick.
Last year was not a good year for me,socially and educationally. But things changed this year. My social life got better. People who hated me, turned into friends. Do not get picked on, in anyway,by anyone. My grades have also been affected. My performance has sky rocketed. I have other stuff to say but that's to be talked about at new years. For now its just my  school is all ill be talking about today.

What are my plans for this summer you may ask. Well I have nothing to important planned. I may or may not go somewhere far away on a summer vacation but nothing is set in stone yet.  But I shall be taking this summer as a chance to get a lot of videos filmed and I'll hopefully post a lot to keep you entertained, during times of bored um. If I'm lucky. Maybe I'll get some extra videos filmed so that way if I'm forced to take time off, I'll have back up videos.

For those that are fans of my youtube channel. you'd know that i havnt been posting good long videos for a bit. the reason is because of my exams. But i finish my exams on the 26th. So im hoping i can get a video shot, edited and posted within a week of that.

If you want an sneek peak of what the video is. Well i wont give u a sneek peak but i have a clue and if you can guess what the video is about then i will send out a prize to the winner.

   What could this mean???

I hope you guys all have a great summer. I know i will. Ill try to keep in touch. Always remember, Im more active on twitter and youtube

Show some respect

At my highschool, it goes from grade 9 to 12 like anyother school, but we also have 7 and 8 grade. I do not support in anyway bullying or cyberbullying. But these 7 and 8 graders think they are big shit and they walk around like they own the school. They walk and take up all the room in the hall and think they can talk back to the older grades.

Back in the day, when i was there age. i respected the older kids and i paid my dues. So why has that changed. why do these kids think they can act like this. 

Well since these kids want to be like this. The older grades are forced to knock some sence into them.  So what we have all done threw out the year is walk straight threw the hall and plow threw anyone who gets in the way, and for those kids who think they are big shit, they get a shoulder thrown there way. If any of them talk back after, we turn around and they shut up instantly because they are all talk and no walk. 

Dont get us wrong. dont think we do this all the time and we pick out certain kids and if there are some nice kids that do have respect, they are left alone and continu on there marry way.

If there are any younger grade kids reading this, from my school or other schools. Please show some respect, your life can be easy at school or hell. You decide your own future. 

What are you going to do now?

Contour Chest Mount

For those who know a little about me you'd know that i love filming and editing. Amoung all the cameras i own, i have an action sports camera to get shots in the action. There are two popular brands of action sport cameras: The GOPRO and The CONTOUR. I have the contour camera. But the issue is that due to the cylindrical shape of the contour, there isnt a chest mount made for it. So i set out to build one but be simple enough that anyone can build it for their own contour camera

**Just a heads up before i begin this set up works for the VHOLDR CONTOUR HD, CONTOUR GPS AND CONTOUR +. (Not the contour roam because it has a tripod mount built into it making it to thick for this)

Let's begin

For this project you will need:

• 1 GoPro Chesty Mount
• 1 GoPro Tripod Mount
• 1 Contour Tripod Mount
• 1 one inche, 1/4, 20 thread per inch screw
• Apoxy resen(optional(will be explained later on)

Step 1: Remove everything from it packaging

It's like freaken christmas. These items you have gotten will be useless if they are still in it's packaging.

Step 2: Modifie the GoPro tripod mount
When you examine both the chest mount and the tripod mount. They both have a cap to screw a fixing into. To fix problem i tried butting the nub off the tripod tooth but i later dixcovered the mount  screw from the chest mount isnt long enough to fix all 6 teeth. This is what you will have to do, procced to cut the extra tooth with the nub off. It should look something like this.

Step 3: Adjusting the screw

You will need to cut the screw head of the screw because you will need to connect two female holes together. My recomendation is to count 10 threads from the tip and cut it. 

Step 4: Connect both tripods

Using your modified screw connect both trypods by screing in with plyars and your hands. If you encountered the same problem I did, the two tripods wont end up lined up perfectly straight to defeat this problem you have a few options to fix it.

Option #1: adjust the screw until you find the right lengh.

Option #2: use a washer to fix it in place but then you  need to find the proper washer width

Option #3: using the optional apoxy comes into play. This part you put a lot of apoxy on the screw and on sides, then you screw it in until its at the proper angle, then let it sit for 24 hours to let it dry.(this is what I decided to do)

Step 5: Assemble

Now you have the pieces to the puzzle. Connect the teeth of the chesty mount to the teeth of the tripod mount. The adjust the angle it is pointing. Then slide your camera in.

There you go, that’s how to make a chest mount for the contour and dosnt stick out to much. Hope you found this helpful and if you want more, follow me on twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/JustSleeth and subscribe to me on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/user/JustSleeth

Birthday Boy!!

Today is june 7th, 17 years ago,  a beautiful chubby baby boy was born. That boy was me.

I have been trying hard this last week thinking about what to do for this day. I deserve it, we all deserve that day of relaxation. But the reason I think ii deserve it more is that this year I made a change in my life. I rolled up my sleves and went to work. I took my shitty grades in school and made them into something that people get jealous of. If you knew a bit more about me, youd know that, for me, making friends is hard and there for more people tend to hate me then they do like me. (that’s easier to hate then to love but I digrese) This year was different for me. People started respecting me, liking me, wanting me around, laughing at my jokes instead of laughing at me.

We all know that on our birthdays all our “friends” on facebook write on our walls , happy birthday. I always hated that because I knew it wasn’t real, they didn’t care to remember it or want to say anything in person. That is one of the many reasons why I deleted my facebook account. But this year, more people have told me happy birthday in person, without facebook. That really gives a very overwhelming warm and fuzzy feeling.
From my closer friends, my parents and my girlfriend, I received presents, and im very thankfull for all of them and love what I got. If there are a select few of you that what to get me something for my birthday. Then follow me on twitter and or subscribe to me on youtube. If you want to spend some money for my birthday, then please donate generously to NEW LIFE MEXICO or CHARITY:WATER.

New life mexico:http://www.newlifemexico.com/

"New Life Mexico (NLM) works with children in Mexico who have been physically or sexually abused, who have come out of the child sex industry and with child drug addicts and dealers."

Charity:Water: http://www.charitywater.org/

"We're a non-profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing countries. 100% of all public donations directly fund water projects"

Thanks for ready this, I got to go continue have an awesome birthday. Bye

Transit Of Venus: June 5th 2012

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you should know that yesterday was the transit of venus. If you don’t know what that is, its when the planet venus passes infront of the sun. This event has a cycle of 8 years followed by a circle of 105 yeats.  This for me was the last time I was gonna see it and I wasn’t gonna let let this opportunity pass. So the way I got this way that I mounted my slr camera on a tripod, then added my countour camera on the tripod and put that set up on my roof. For me, and living in Toronto, the transit of venus happened from 6:05 pm to 8:00 pm.

Below I have included a picture of my set up.

After 2 hours on my roof I got about 300 pictures and 2 hours of solid video. There is one picture that is better then the rest and that will never be forgotten. I will show my kids, of this event and openfully they will be alive long enough to see what I saw. I hope you guys saw it  if not, here is my best picture of it.

This picture was taken at 6:34 PM in Newmarket, Ontario. When venus crossed the sun on June 5th 2012(on the same day that a close friend of mine was born, so happy birthday to him. 

I'm not an astro photographer, but i want to take pictures of something that i wont see again. For example, there will be a full solar eclipse in toronto on april 8 2024. so ill be set up to witness that.

Thank you for reading about me nerding out.

God Bless Élie Ndayishimiye

This is not a blog post about surviving a zombie apocalypse. Today my math teacher from last semester passed away today after a horrible car accident on May 21^st 2012.  So I wanted to let my feelings out. So please show some respect.

There is one thing no one realises about their teacher. They are human. We expect them day after day, weekend after weekend to show up to class and teach. Which that one fact really upsets me because on Friday I saw him last period. I didn’t think this would be his last weekend. If I would have known it was I would have told him all the things that I thought of him. But I didn’t, in my head those thoughts were going to be told to him when I graduate high school.

Let me tell you about this man. His name is Élie Ndayishimiye, we was a very smart, very tall man. He was my math teacher. But he was more than just a math teacher to me. He took my 65% average and made it 95% in math. That positive boost, gave me the motivation to do better in all my classes and I know have a great post-secondary future.

He wasn’t just a good teacher. He always had an infectious smile. He would always have something to be happy about. We should always take a lesson from his perspective on life.

My prayers go out to him and his family and I hope you do also. Thank you for listening.

R.I.P. Élie Ndayishimiye

The Zombie Survival Guide: General Rules

This blog post, is all about General rules that you will need to follow if you want to stay alive. I strongly recommend you follow these because there are a few in here that you probably wouldnt have thought of but will definatly save your life.Lets begin.

Make decisions as a group: if you are lucky enough to have teammates in this fight, you need to be sure that you make decision together, there is no leader. There must be a democracy.

Keep disciplined: just because there aren’t any more police and laws to worry about does not mean do what ever you want. I garenty the people that think that will be the first ones dead. If you keep disaplined you’ll survive.

Be alert: If your not at you home base, you will always need to be alert, it may seem say but you never know.

Adapt or die:  This book is great source of guidelines, and should always follow them. But you need to learn that when you situation is getting worst, its time to get out or face your certain demises

Have a base, have support: Home Sweet Home. Its that simple. Ya maybe your not at your home you had before the outbreak, but you will need a place to call home, that will be your safe haven.  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Also this base can be used as a rendez-vous point if you go on missions with your team and something goes arye.

Use daylight: depending on the movie or game some zombies can handel sunlight others cant, but thats not the point here. The point of daylight is simply to see. It's easier to stay alive if you can see every way around you. On top of that, when you know there are zombies out there trying to eat you, its more comferting to travel in the warm sun then the unknown, scary darkness.

Plan your escape: Easy enough. Its in the name, but for the slow people. What you'll need some supplies in a backpack ready to go with a weapon nearby, preferably a shotgun. The reason being, if the zombies find your hide out and are breaking in or have gotten in, you will need to get out of there are soon as possible. The shotgun will aid you in that, the scatter shot of the round combines with shooting the zombies in the head will cause quick kills. Before you know it you will be out of that situation.

Let them come to you: you dont need to be some douchebag hero, you just endangering yourself and others. You must be really stupid to want to go out killing them. There are millions and you are one person. If your safe, why wreak that. You only need to kill a zombie when to save a life. Because the killing will attract attention from other zombies.

Knock first: althought there is a rule about being invisible, this is the one acception, when entertin a new room or appartment, wait a few seconds and listen, if there is no noise, knock. Because there may be a zombie there waiting quietly and you may want into it's dinner plate.

Take an extra shot: You are not in a rush to go on a date or get to a meeting, so take that extra feew seconds to deliver another killer blow to make sure the zombie is dead. You'll thank me when a zombie dosnt attack you from behind.

Dispose of all bodies: This is so important. If you have never had a biologie class in your life, you will need to know this. Dead bodies roat. Whether it be zombie or human, you need to dispose of the body properly, because the smell of a new kill will attract more szombies. On top of that, roating flesh can and will cause major health problems.

remain invisible: one of the most important things because the last thing you want is zombies cornering, following u, following you.

sleep: You need this, and a lot of it, because with the adrenaline going threw you blood, killing zombies, setting up and worrying about if you will leave, all of that will tire you out very quickly. Get yourself a pair of ear plugs, these wil be able to put you to sleep much faster when your not listening to the growling and the moan of the undead outside your door.Its important that you get your sleep because if you don’t your muscle will deteriorate and your sences will lower,eventually causing your death.

so this is the first of the zombie survival guide, stay tuned next wednesday for another survival guide post.

Hold On To Your Hats; I"m About To Rage

Recently a lot of things have been getting me mad. So I have decided to share them with my readers. The biggest thing that gets me mad is stupidity, ya that’s it plain and simple. Just stupidity.

So first off, I’m a blackberry user, so I have bbm. What I absolutely can’t stand is dumb whores on bbm (yes I know that’s redundant, what whore is intelligent right) they will send out a broadcast message (meaning everyone will get it) saying reach this place or reach that place> meaning they think they are so unbelievably great that just doing that and going alone, people will then show up just to be with them. No that’s dumb. If you want to go somewhere and hangout with people. Make fucking plans. Don’t just go and disturb my peaceful phone.

Secondly, is pictures of food, whether it be Facebook, twitter, on a blog, or on bbm, I do not under any circumstances want to see your food. Like imagine the situation behind that picture. The person will before they eat, think “hey I should take a picture of this” they then pull there camera and take a picture. On top of that go on the social networking platform of their choice and post it. Like that’s so idiotic and ridiculous and yet people still do it.

The next thing that pisses me off is using hash tags. The point of hash tags is used as a common subject for the social network, Twitter.  So there for hashtags should ONLY be used on twitter, but yet they don’t stay there. Hash tags are used on things like Facebook and blackberry messsager.

Finally the #1 thing that drives me crazy is dumb people. Yes those people that get that screw around in class, that think they are awesome people and yet everyone hates them. You always wonder, do they realize that people hate them. Why not change to be more likable. These people are just total assholes and douchebags. But those are just usually the men; there are the same kinds of women.  These women are usually whores, either the same people that hook up with a bunch of people at parties or even I know someone that has never been single since grade 5 when one relationship ends a new one begins within a week.

So ya that are a summary of it, I could go on for a while but I won’t continue. So thanks for reading and you can comment on things that you hate that I didn’t mention. Also follow me on twitter, I believe I tweet interesting things. www.twitter.com/_TheThriller_

Ebay:You heartless bitch

Unless you have been living under a rock your entire life, I'm sure you know about EBay. Let me give you a little refresher. Ebay is an internet website, where a person may buy and/or sell products, either by auction or by instant purchase.

Well recently I've been wanting to get a new sports camera for snowboarding and stuff. So I. Have been looking at GoPro but mainly Contour. So I decided, why not have a look on ebay, so I found a few priced camera's but the closer time got to the auction the higer the price had gotten and the less. Worth it, it had become to buy a camera online.

So now your probably wondering what the. Hell. Does all of this have to do with the title. Well I'm gonna tell you. There are a few things that frustrate me about ebay. #1 Snipers: the people who wait to last minute to bid(yes I'm a sniper. But I actually get sniped by another sniper) #2 the increasing prices: by this I mean, I find a product a low auction cost and I say awesome, but then more and more people have to come in and make the price go higher. #3 the waiting period: The time that is left for an auction to end, like every minute feels forever and every day waiting sucks more and more. I don't understand why I keep checking ebay every day even if I know for a fact the auction won't end for another. 3 days.

I Hope you enjoyed my little rant.
Peace

Hi Everybody

               Hi Everybody, My name is Eric. I'm a 16-year-old from Quebec, Canada eh? I'm a welterweight boxer. I train almost everyday. But when I'm not in the ring, you can find me snowboarding, those are my two passions. And yes, i do all that boring shit like go to school and go to work, but don't worry i wont be posting about useless shit like that.

Why did I start this blog?

The reason I started this blog was because, sometimes I had something to say on twitter and i just didn't have the space, because you know I'm limited to 140 characters.

What am i going to be posting about?

This is a useless-shit-free blog environment so you wont need to worry about useless crap like how my day was, unless i was killing zombies, because of the zombie Apocalypse, but id be busy anyway, pwning some zombies, but I digress, this blog will be about any random thing i wanna post. I do not plan on having a schedule where i must post a blog entry every other day, NOO! ill post when i feel like it.

Well i hope you guys like it and keep reading,
