Late Night Ramblin's Vol9- Life October 2023

So it's been a while (again)......in my absence however my blog views have somehow increased? 

Thank you! Seriously thanks so much for that, it means a lot.

James Davie is who I have to also thank as he reminds me when I have not done a blog post in a while. Comments like that tend to snap me back to reality and shift my focus, so I am here to write a little bit about what's going on right now. Random Ramblin's? Maybe but this is another life update after all so who knows what I will title this when I am done and of course I'm putting this together through the day and night.

I've been busy with my two jobs as well as content creating and just playing games or watching TV or films you know any sort of media exposure, I have had. I've not felt inspired or motivated because of tiredness mainly to just write some stuff, I've not had ideas. Some reviews I've done on films are short on letterboxd, but it's not to the level of where I want to publish here. I know that doesn't matter or mean much to you reading, but I like my reviews here to have some sort of love and passion.

Job life

Job number 1 - Bartender

I started that job in July 2022, and I've recently resigned from that job. I resigned because the job wasn't fun and worth the stress any more. Furthermore, I wasn't getting the hours, so I had to take another job earlier this year which in turn seemed to have penalized me with management in Job 1. Hours were cut again and if I wasn't able to cover or wanted time off (with enough time given in advance) I'd be met with just general snarky behaviour and arguments. It wasn't good for me. Every time I got to the place I felt miserable. The constant road works and closures don't do me any good either but that's not the fault of the company of course. My friends who I met there were leaving or have left. My fave person there has gone on bereavement leave and I hated to leave without seeing her or welcoming her back, but there's no way I would have been happy with myself to continue being miserable and stressed in a job that doesn't satisfy me. When I handed my notice in and told my new supervisors they were supportive and so lovely. It was a great place to work at I used to look forward to the laughs and the team working together, but there's just selfishness there and no team work and lack of communication admist all my faves aka the good people leaving. I wish them all the best there, they are good people, and it's a nice place to visit, but I can't stay where I'm not happy. That's the truth, and I'm sorry if I have left anyone down or upset in my decision. Of course, I offended my managers there when I said that "it feels good that it's my last shift here.".

To my friends I made who I worked with please stay in touch and know that Chloe,Prim,Josh D, Ash, Caitlin, Bret, Yestyn, Brandon, Rachel, Sarah, Tatiana, Scott and Josh S, I hope you know how much I've loved working with you and if you should ever see this post know that I love you all and respect you all so much, and I can't wait to hang out and see you all again soon.

Job 2 - Customer Service Sales Assistant & Keyholder

So this job in the beginning I found boring, but now I love it and I love all who I work with and the customers. It's getting to be the busy season, so I'm excited and nervous for all the madness that awaits me. I love my co-workers and managers there, and it is local to my home. Besides parking charges there are no cons or complaints I have for the job. I got to focus my attention there and on being better and more knowledgeable of the job and place and products and a bunch of online training and get any and all extra hours I can there to bulk up my pay and experience and that's where my focus is at.

Mental Health

I still get that fake motivation where I want to or feel like I'm going to play some game on my PlayStation, but then I just don't get to do it. Videos I do get to do here or there it just depends on when I feel motivated to do them or when the idea or inspiration hits.

My weight loss has staggered, I'm still keeping the 4 stone I lost earlier this year off me, but it's tough the motivation I once had has staggered again. So it feels like a waiting game for some sort of lightning bolt to hit me to awaken me back to full power where I will do anything and everything haha. I got this hip issue ATM and also this weird wheezy cough so that's fun dealing with.

Dating wise I'm just always at the talking stage, so I guess, I need some help in that department. I've made more friends than I've had dates and the friends I've made are cool and different genders too.

Finished my Christmas shopping, I like to be early in that department.

TV Shows

The One Piece netflix TV show was absolutely lit!

Disney's Star Wars Ashoka show has been great, and it's not finished yet (at time of writing).

Futurama new season on Disney plus has its moments but overall I thought it sucked, unfortunately.

Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury was pretty good, I'd give it a 7/10.

Futhermore

As always I'm on tiktok and YouTube content creating videos besides writing here. You can also follow me and see more short reviews on my letterboxd profile.

I'm Sick Of It All

I'm sick of losing my motivation, I'm sick of losing my inspiration, I'm sick of being told what to do, I'm sick of being told I'm not good enough, I'm sick of people making assumptions based on my weight or words I say at interviews today.

I try and try and try my hardest to learn about companies before I apply and prune my CV to make sure I fit the criteria, if I didn't then why would I have applied? I am sick of being overlooked, you sit there silently listening to all my nervous thoughts and words knowing that within the first 2 seconds you have already deemed me not for you because I'm tall and fat and because you won't hire me because I'm older than the other applicants. Yes, you will pay me more, but you get experience, punctuality, dedication and hard work. Some of these youngsters you companies go out and hire quit after a week or cause you headaches because you got to pour so much training and development into them, when someone who has experience takes less time. It's cruel, and you all think you are smart by not publicly saying the issues you have with me, but I know the issues are deeper down than just "oh we had too many applications at this time" or the other usual copy and paste bullshit "you did not match the criteria at this time please try again in another 6 months". They say they will explain more on why you were unsuccessful, but they never reply, these crafty fuckers couldn't even look me in the eyes during an interview, so why would they even give me some Constructive feedback? It's not in their interests or fake smiling kind hearts. Lies and bullshit over and over rinse and repeat the process. 

If I miss your call please leave me a message at the tone and let me know your number, and when is the best time to call you back? I'm sick of people calling me when I'm driving or in work and then not leaving a number or message on who it is and what the call is regarding. Not everyone is a mind reader and not everyone is able to answer the phone 24/7!

How's a man supposed to live with £100 a week? This shit is worse than the job centre but to be fair the shit I do is more satisfying than what the job centre would have me do. Plus if you don't lie down and be a good dog the government run job centre will punish you and stop paying you for months because of their stupid little beliefs. If a dog stands up they piss themselves and call over Roider Roger on security to take you down for a beating and then the job centre "advisor" will piss upon your damaged soul and announce that your payments have been put on hold. They then pawn you off to be on the phone for 12 hours on hold listening to William overtell on repeat while they then answer with no sympathy to tell you that your claim will be talked about during a civil meeting, but it's never civil, nothing job centre wise is, it's just "sit here and listen and obey us you filthy mutt because we are in the right, and you are wrong!" Thanks, Shelly, you have been a most helpful cunt, you have actually helped me find the clitoris because you are one massive walking talking one.

You slave and slave 6/8/12/15 hours a day of your life to someone and swear loyalty and break your ass and your jaw being paid minimum, but everyone can see that you do so much more. The people you serve will laugh and smile and say "oh I bet the perks are nice" no they are mediocre at best, I just want money and hours not pain and 15% off. They will all boast and say "our team is the best" taking all the credit and double the money the team should make. You got other managers saying "hey team we are going to reward your handwork" and you get excited and wait on bated breath, only to be told "we got 3 medium pizzas for all the team, for your efforts" Gee thanks I can pay off my bills now that I have had a slice of Ham & Cheese Za.

You could be having a good day when Karen and Kyle and their group of runaway bandits walk in and terrorize the place and all the staff members. Karen will demand to see the manager when she does not get things her way and Kyle will threaten to hit you and throw his drink or food all over the floor while he pickpockets items in the queue. Karen the only manager you will be seeing is black eye mcgee lovely. Kyle stop being a melt ya filthy Carrot and take away your foster home for imaginary kids outta here before they go up for adoption.

Do this and do that, cheers Robyn I already am if you would kindly open your eyes and see, you Brussel sprout. "You should be out of the house by now and in your own home with your own family by this age" Cheers Daaaad, but the government has made that dream an IMPOSSIBILITY!

The government needs to fuck up. They are again culling old and vulnerable people and families of all ages because they allow the greed of companies to succeed because they get a cut, so their pockets are lined up, and they can now buy a new home from money they stole. These filthy greedy wanking gas and energy companies are all laughing and smugly shouting out to the world that "we have to make killer profits!" yeah you have by killing and robbing people, and now you are laughing and proudly yelling about it, go get fucked in the ass and jump off a bridge into the hardest fucking rocks on Earth.

"Wah waah this actor said something that's not nice" Learn to take a joke and note how times have changed and how so can people you stupid vegetable. John Wayne has been dead for 50 years grow up and leave him and his remaining family alone.

I can be a determined machine when all my gears are lined up and going physically and mentally, but if I'm tired or hurt I slip up, and it takes time to get those gears turning again which halts my breakthroughs and progress, and it's a shame, and I am sick of it happening.

I'm sick of people not understanding. All I want is support and be understood, and a hug does not harm either. Give me a chance. Help me out. Give me tips, show me a better way to get a new job, to not be nervous for interviews. I'm overdue my break. Please.

What Makes A Good Customer?

Are you a customer? Would you like to be a good customer?

"But Scott?" I hear you ask, and now I will tell you exactly HOW you too can be A GOOD CUSTOMER!

AN ITEM DOES NOT HAVE A PRICE OR DOES NOT SCAN IS FREE!

Please refrain from using the classic Retail chat-up line known as "Oh this item did not scan, so it must be free *fake laugh*" AHAHHAHAHA YOU ARE SO FUNNY AND YOU ARE RIGHT IT IS FREE! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! STOP!!!! "But Scott, there's no price on this item, so is it free?" LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH, If this was the case I think a lot of people including myself would be snagging the item and walking away happy....NO OF COURSE IT IS NOT FREE! Please do not say this classic line, even if it is tempting because the retail worker will only fake laugh and be raging and swearing inside their own head and behind your back when you leave their general area. Thank you.

DON'T TRY A MASSIVE SHOP WITHIN THE LAST 10 MINS OF THE SHOPS OPEN TIME!

Please be mindful of the workers and do not commence a big shop when the shop is about to close because this makes you look like the biggest liar on the planet. "Oh but I won't be long, I'm only going in and out for 5mins." Sir we are about to close in 2 mins, so why did you leave it so late? Please refrain from taking the piss, ta.

SUN'S OUT, WHAT A SHAME FOR YOU!

Please be respectful to those who work in retail in those extremely heated conditions. "Oh it's a gorgeous day init? Shame you have to be stuck here eh?" Oh wow, thanks mate for noticing the fact that I am stuck here, inside, bored working for 8 hours mindlessly and sweating out of every hole on my body while you have freedom and can keep yourself cool in these conditions. That always means a lot :D

HOW CAN YOU WORK OVER CHRISTMAS?! WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?

Please be mindful of your words. "Why are you working all over Christmas? Where's your family?!" Well Sharlene I lost my family when I was little due to an accident over Christmas holidays, and so I am forced to work to keep shoppers like you happy, all the while keeping my mind off my troubles for rude people who wish to criticize strangers because you have nothing better to do. Thanks for giving me a great Christmas present in your rudeness and so THAT'S WHY WE ARE OPEN!

MY ITEM IS NOT HERE! GO CHECK FOR IT!

Please again be understanding that items are not in unlimited supply and that if we had stock that the stock would be out. "What do you mean this item is sold out?! There's more in the back I bet, go check for me!" Listen if there was stock it would be out here on this lovely, dazzling, white, seamless shelf for your purchasing needs. Even when we do go and double check, WE DON'T FIND IT! WE ARE NOT HIDING OR WITH-HOLDING ITEMS! UNDERSTAND THAT NO YOU CANNOT GO AND CHECK FOR YOURSELF!

I BOUGHT THIS ITEM, I WANT MY MONEY BACK & I DON'T HAVE ANY PROOF!

Please understand that if you throw your receipt away, it voids your proof that you have purchased an item from us. No I can't give you something else equal to its value and no I can't get your money back without any proof of purchase, I am sorry, but this is how it works. A follow-up to this issue is usually a customer saying "I COME HERE ALL THE TIME, YOU SERVED ME THIS ITEM! AT LEAST GIVE ME A DISCOUNT!" Understand that what you are saying is all well and good BUT I cannae do it cap'n!

THIS IS A JOKE, I AM NOT WAITING IN LINE & I AM NOT COMING HERE AGAIN!

Please be patient! Look John just calm your tits for a moment, I know for a fact you will be back here when it is on a quieter day so be a normal person and not this entitled bastard and wait to be served JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! I'd ask royalty to wait too if they were here!

I AM NOT PAYING FOR THIS!

Please know that is fine BUT I am scanning/giving you the exact items you wanted. By all means you can ask me nicely to put things back, and I will take them off your bill, BUT UNDERSTAND, YOU NEED TO ASK NICELY! Oh, another glorious one to hear similar to this is the dreaded "I PAY FOR YOU!" Now Sir/Madam I am certain that if you were not here with your stanky ass attitude that I would still be paid and oh by the way, YOU DON'T PAY ME!

WHY ARE YOU NOT OPEN YET!? I HAVE BEEN STANDING HERE COLD FOR HOURS!

Please understand our opening hours are advertised via front door signage and also online. We are not open every single hour of every day! It is no good knocking our doors at 8AM when we won't be open until 12PM! If you chose to stand outside our shop for hours in the cold waiting for us to open, well I'm afraid I got some baaaad news for you. Sucks to be you, thanks for trying but come back later to see the wonders inside the shop!

CAN YOU GIVE ME A JOB HERE?

Please know that I am not the manager, and please run far away from here before even trying to work here because you and I deserve a better work place BUT OF COURSE, I can get you a job here Kevin, where and when do you want to work? You can work now if you want? I mean there's a big queue, and we need more people to work today so why not eh Kev?! We do not get to decide who works here with us and when and 95% of the time have no idea when Jobs are going with us? So uh keep to those online job recruitment sites please.

Finally, do not treat our work place like a rubbish tip. It is not your own home! YOU do not have to clean up shit from the blocked toilets, you don't have to fix displays and shelves, you don't have to spend hours scrubbing off graffiti. Please have some respect and decency!

TO SUMMARISE:
#1 - BE RESPECTFUL
#2 - BE PATIENT

#3 - BE UNDERSTANDING
#4 - BE KIND
#5 - BE LOGICAL
#6 - BE MINDFUL

Go now onto the world of retail with this information in mind and pass it onto others, and you will receive a free blessing in the post! Thanks for reading and sharing this blog!

What Makes A Good Team Leader?

What is a Team Leader?

A team leader is someone who assists the team with their needs and relay to management. They ensure that communication from higher-ups is passed down more clearly and directly to teams. This keeps workplaces tighter and makes sure that teams have what they need when the need for leadership rears its head. Team leaders can be seen as a hybrid of management and staff, giving important help to both.

What does a Team Leader do?

They bridge the gap between management and colleagues, team leaders are often closer to the team itself and work within it while shouldering the job of reporting back to management and heading up roles including training, motivation, and the clerical stuff that comes with being responsible for colleagues. Team leaders also keep an eye on the performance of their team. They’re in the prime position to identify areas needed for training, team building, and maybe even promoting. Your team leaders might be empowered to organize these things on their own, or they can report back to management to get the ball rolling. They are expected to lead by example. It's a demanding but rewarding role.

What skills does a team leader need?

People skills. Great listening skills. Kindness, eye for detail, Organization skills. Effective communication with patience, empathy and ability to listen, you need to know people. Problem-solving skills. Being a leader.

Also for everyone please obide by the rules in the picture below.

Random Ramblin's 49 - It's Been A While

So here I am early hours of the morning on the 1st of August 2022, wide awake, listening to music. The usual (I guess). I am here trying to figure out how to write this. I been going between two minds for a while about writing another Random Ramblin's (which is a series of blog posts I do here on my blog which operate sorta like diary entries and place I go to share news and my mind and rant about.)

There's so much that has happened since my last entry, honestly. It's been a hell of a life, is what I have been saying as I have gone through a lot mentally and even physically these past few months to well, almost a year actually.

When was the last time I did a RR? *goes to look up last entry* Ah yes.....September 2021 and it's now.....August 2022. Wow! Time sure does fly! Anyway *Thinks to himself "what the hell do I write about? why am I doing this? why am I talking in my head and also writing this down?" SIGHS* 

Well without further ado, THIS....IS.......

RANDOM RAMBLIN'S!!!!

Alright, alright, alright. First off,

HOW ARE YOU?!

I hope you are well!

LIFE

How am I? Oh well thanks for asking, at the moment I am tired and in a lot of back pain from my new job. Oh yes! I have a new job well this is another another new job. Yes I quit my previous employer the cinema back in April. Also back in April my GF broke up with me but to be honest it looks like she left me for someone else, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT I digress and this is just from MY VIEW after all and with all due respect, I won't say anything more on this matter. I do miss that Cinema job I'd be lying if I said otherwise.

ANYWAY I quit my Cwtchy cinema job to go work in a care home and It was great BUT I have/had a lot of unsolved trauma and I had so many memories pour back into me with dealing with Dementia residents because of my Nan who I sadly lost 2 years ago. The care home job was not for me at this time being sadly. In the months of May - July, I did not sign on to the Dole as it were and rather I was applying for work and having 2 interviews a week and eventually I landed the job I am in now and you know what, It's hard work right BUT I am liking it. What's my new role? Well I work as a Bartender in a restaurant and it's not as easy as it sounds or looks chief but hey I am enjoying it on most days. 

The past 5 months or so have definitely been a rebuild period for myself. Mentally and physically. It's tough and goes to show a lot of shit catches up to you and ruins you. I'm still on the mend from a lot of mental and physical issues but by taking the right steps daily and recognising when you need help and treatment is important and getting it is even more important and significant. I need to correct my posture and weight more really. I'm a work in progress and I always will be. Destroying bad habits and old habits takes time and a lot of energy and effort and consciousness (let's be fair) to make it all work and run smoothly. So just be aware of what's going on with yourself in your mind and body and try and sort any issues to save yourself in the future. Cheers for reading this bit of ramblin hehe. 😊👍

Unrelated but I have been watching a lot of Bill Burr stand up and Paul Smith stand up. 

Both fantastic comedians and I recommend giving them a nose. 

Wrestling

What a mad few months it has been for the wrestling world. Vince is gone from WWE and HHH is in charge due to the allegations against Vince making him retire from his duties with WWE.

In September WWE has their biggest PPV taking place in Cardiff, Wales and OF COURSE I AM GOING!!!!!

Film & Tv

Shocking and sad news with TV and Film land as Warner Bros have cancelled many films and TV shows including the Scoob sequel and the Batgirl film.

Dragonball Super: Superhero has released and it's incredible and so awesome!

Cw has called time on The Flash with season 9 being the last season and its also the shortest season as its been issued for only 13 episodes.

Gaming

Fortnite X Dragonball Super collab is probably Fort's best collab ever made, it is hella fun!

Music & Gigs

Machine Head, Slipknot and Five Finger Death Punch all got new album is out soon. (as of writing they are due to be released end of August and into September)

I am also seeing Machine Head and Amon Amarth in September!

Also seeing Corey Taylor in October!

Might see Three Days Grace in September but unsure yet it as it depends on my schedule and income.

Anyway that's all I got time for this week Basil haha.

Check me out on youtube & tiktok if you are bored or in need of a laugh.

If you need someone to talk to please give me a message anytime too!

Be well and be safe people!

UPDATE 2023
CB WORD HAS SHUT DOWN & SO MY WORK THERE IS GONE FOREVER :(

Being free does not mean you are free?

In this world in this current time no one is a slave really or are they? Well certainly not many places have slavery now.

Parents and family are always looking out for you're best interests right. Yeah ok cool understandable.

Friends do to right?

Is that cool? Oh yes its fine no worries about it at all.

However.

Comes to a point.

Right, i don't know what i want to do job wise but i know what i don't want to do.

People are always like "You should do this or do that" or even "You have to do this or that".

NO!

I have free will right and choice and a working brain....I have the power alone to choose what i want to do ok.

Can people just lay off saying i should do this or have to do this or that when i don't wish to.

If i do i will.

If not please leave me there.

I am fed up of it. Yes i am unemployed so what? I AM FUCKING ENJOYING LIFE!

I appreciate you all offering me advice on this or that job but come on if i am not interested do leave it there.

If i am not interested it will not be on my mind. If i am it will be on my mind and i will inquire.

I also dislike it when people say "Oh you're dad and brother do this job why not go with them?" I DON'T WANT TO!

I do not wish to appear blunt or angry or anything ok i am just being truthful i am annoyed to be basically harassed.

I spent almost 2 years in a shitty job. I made money. I lost my mind quite a bit due to sleep deprivation and depression quite frankly. Fuck one shift i was losing it i was walking around one of my regular sites and well i got paranoid and anxious heck i was hearing things and seeing things i was being scared by my own mind at what it was producing in the darkness and in reflections. Fuck in work i had nothing to majorly do and with that i had only to do few things and then nothing for hours so i'd watch films and eat and eat i put on a lot of weight i felt disgusted by myself. I still feel disgusting i did that job and of leaving myself go through the job. I had the worse boss in the world. I had some shitty co workers aswell. They did not care at all about me. Treated me everyday like shit. I got fired and i was not sad at all i was so thankful i wanted them to fire me for a while because i was so down. Life was going nowhere. Life in some fact is still not going far for me but i have things to do, i do things i enjoy. Pretty sure i talked a lot about this in the past on a blog post not sure but i will leave it there now. I ain't going back again.

Life right now. Busy as hell and full of fun. I am enjoying myself. Yes i am unemployed. Yes i am still looking for work. Yes i still volunteer with cylent beatz. Yes i am still single. Yes i have no dream job or do i? I love writing. Recently been ringing in my mind. What if i became an author, is that my dream job? It kinda feels right, right now. I enjoy it.

I wish people would stop trying to control me though.

I'm enjoying my life right now.

Sorry to repeat myself but it's true.

Thanks for the recommendations and do not stop with them just please stop if you have asked me loads of times and i am not interested. DO NOT RUSH ME EITHER. I NEED TIME TO THINK THINGS THROUGH!

Thanks for reading.

Laugh,Love,Live,Have Fun!

Random Ramblin's 26 - The recent times on RANDOM RAMBLIN-Z

Previously on my blog

It has been 2 months since i have posted a random ramblin's as i have been busy writing lists and doing other things and frankly not much eventfulness has happened.....til now. Read on for more from myself if you are interested in knowing what has been happening with me. 

There has been issue's in the South Wales cosplay community. I have also not been wanting to cosplay. More follows from my statement.

COSPLAY UPDATE

"There's lot of animosity going on in the cosplay world at the moment from apparent con competition fixes to venues and con organisers being too tough and to jealous cosplayers, to bullying assumptions and other things.

I Scott thought I would just post here that I feel sad that the friendly fun world of cosplay and it's community that I was so into has just gone downhill I'll be perfectly honest at this very moment in time.....I don't plan on cosplaying for the next con.

I don't very much feel like going to cfcc. It's close local and I know loads there that go that are true friends but there's people and staff and other things that are playing on my mind and putting me off. I blame the bad con I had earlier this year.

I've had 2 bad cons at cfcc 1 was my heisenberg cosplay con and the other was the muck up of my bleach ichigo cosplay.

I feel more like I'm better off heading to a different con if only for the guests at the moment. I don't know what it is besides this stuff I have listed that's bugging me or lowered my cosplay confidence but it sucks and I have been keeping that a secret since the end of the last con.

I Don't want or mean to disappoint anyone here of our lovely likers and fans because you guys are amazing. Our con friends or rather family I love to bits it annoys me I don't hang with them often. I do wish I had the tools and time to actually craft and make things cosplay wise I have so many ideas it's just the lack of resources really, honestly if I had time money and stuff I would have a go making something some armour or something a mask I don't know exactly.

I know we have months to go til cfcc and there's a whole lot of time for me to decide what I am doing but as of now I'm just empty of cosplay wise plans I'm not so excited or anything I'm just like vacant no ideas lacking the desire. It sucks. I know. Like I said the cons I really want to go to are just for the guests now. I feel the attention to cfcc has diminished so much it's crazy that the con used to have bundles of huge guests but now has one mainly.

James keeps on tempting me with ideas for cosplays but for now I'm just leaving it blank until I have the desire,the will and fun to get back into things.

I hope everyone reading this is well and continues to be amazing. :)

Thanks for reading.

Scott."

This post i posted on myself and James Evans run cosplay page called The Dare Cosplay. Check us out on facebook for cool stuff and updates. 

Since my statement i have leaned to the side of attending just one last comic con. Who knows i may change my mind again. Will keep you posted on what happens.

Right moving on swiftly now. 

There has been a lot of negativity lately on facebook which caused me to write this post (click the link to view it and come back to continue reading this blog.) - http://1stmetalgodsblog.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/be-you-by-scott-jones.html

Wrestling Fandom Rant: The TNA hate bandwagon and hypocrites? 

The fact that on every forum or YouTube video involving Tna has Wwe fans just commenting going "Lol so bad tna sux lol lmao who tna got" etc has me just think to myself how sad those people are. Waste their times to crap on another company that has hard working talent and crew doing their best to feed theirselves to show the world another wrestling show alternative. 

It's always the Wwe fanboys or girls to yell this crap on tna stuff. You never see a Wwe "hardcore" fan go on other companies pages and go "new Japan sux or roh is bad" etc do you? It's always the "Hate Tna because it's cool to" bandwagon. Don't get why others can not accept and respect other wrestling companies. 

There's people that say "Tna is WCW" how? WCW is dead so is ECW and TNA has outlasted both. People criticize the stars of Tna and then when those stars end up in Wwe they seem to lose all memory of hating on said stars. So strange right? 

All this stuff just has me acting like Jericho and calling all those haters stupid idiots haha.

Apologies for the rant. 

Yes I still love,watch and enjoy TNA and yes I still watch,like and enjoy Wwe especially with Nxt,Enzo & Cass and Aj Styles. I do also enjoy other companies from time to time like roh,icw and njpw.

Enjoy this meme depicting how things are. 

Now a short break looking at my best tweets recently. 

GAMES

What games have i played or completed recently? I shall tell you!

Far cry Primal ain't bad. Nice new experience and good looking environment. Plays same as the last 2.

Finally played the new Doom I will be honest and say it's brutal and fast paced. However it's not for me.

Until Dawn what a game. Brilliant. Captivating. Shocking. Intense. Scary. Insane. Video game experience. I screamed at one point! I have had nights where i have been unable to sleep those Wendigo's are fucking scary man may have had sleep insomnia one night and pictured one or it was a nightmare either way it was fucking horrible. 8/10

I completed Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. It was pretty good however it was lacking things and it was pretty easy. I liked Evie and Jacob (Evie a bit more). Setting,graphics,controls all great. Story could have been better of course. 7/10

Minecraft story mode Episode 1 - 5. Admittedly this is not telltale's best it was good though. 6/10 overall. I may get eps 6-8 sometime when they are much cheaper anyway. 

Uncharted 4. A good game and a must play HOWEVER I thought the gameplay was average and the story wasn't particularly compelling (even if it paved the way for some truly incredible moments). The graphics, animations and overall presentation are second to none, but I'm afraid Naughty Dog's flair for state-of-the-art worldcrafting got the best out of reviewers which ended up ignoring some of the issues the game has.

• Stealth works, but is uninteresting. 

• The game has an overabundance of checkpoints

• The AI companions are terrible

• Companions want to move on, they lack curiosity.

Uncharted 4 is a really fun and beautiful game, but lacks replay value unless you are interested in the multiplayer which is pretty good but gets boring quick i found. I'd definitely recommend the game as a "must play" if you own a PlayStation 4, but I don't think it's as good as some people would've you think. 7/10

Dead Space was finally completed thanks to Jared he did it. I could not do it. I owe him many a thanks what a scary game. The time i started playing it i was in a unstable place mentally i would play it and be unable to sleep after it, yeah it scared me that bad. 8/10

Mkx story was pretty good. I really like the game and all it's new characters. Online is a harsh world of having your ass handed to though lol. 7/10.

I must say ps4 games are quite short gameplay wise at the moment i swear all the hard work is for the graphics more than the story. Yes i know "What about Witcher?" that is one exception. "What about fallout 4?" Ok that is another exception. Lol any one else want to contribute exceptions? Haha. 

As for E3 ahem SONY WINS.....FATALITY! 

Spiderman,God Of War,Detroit,Battlefield 1,Wildlands,Injustice 2,Xenoverse 2,CRASH REMASTERS,Kojima,Gears 4,X wing VR,Batman VR are all awesome and are my highlights.

Other things

I have felt like a ghost at times seeing old friends and people i went to school with and knew just having them blank me....No reason. No hello. No smile. No eye contact. Nothing from them i say hello or hey or hi or alright and they walk past me looking at the ground. Fucked up! Fuck em removed those individuals from all my social media's now. Don't need ignorant people. 

My laptop is constantly crashing and my disc drive is still fucked. New laptop maybe needed.

Job front quiet.

Volunteer work quiet besides moving things now and then to and from the old studio to the garage one.

People have said nicely "hey can you drive me or do this for me i will pay you" and i have delivered yet they have not delivered. They won't be using me again i tell you.

Feelings of love have been appearing again, for someone new at the moment. A friend of mine had interests in her and she had interests in him all for her to be continually stood up by that supposed friend of mine. It angers me greatly. He continues to ignore me. I want to yell and throttle him about using women but he avoids me now. He must know. I have not told said person of my feelings towards them i was hoping to get them one on one in person but then the other day. Despite how pissed and upset she was and how pissed everyone was with that guy the supposed friend of mine she goes and invites him and everyone else to a night out. Now sadly i can not go as i am attending an event but still i would not go that guy supposed friend is a knob head he always ditches you or starts shit he thinks he is a hard man when he is a scumbag!

Youtube is no longer notifying me of comments on my videos. FUCKING PISSTAKE MUN!

Thinking of moving the blog to wordpress or starting a new blog on wordpress or making a website dedicated to all thing's me. I will let you know what happens as soon as i know.

Jungle Book remake was ok. 

TMNT 2 was good.

Orlando shootings was horrible and senseless,condolences to the victims and their family. Hopefully America can stop this senseless violence some day. 

Might try my hand at poetry. A good friend of mine checked out some lyrics i wrote and he said "It's like poetry" which has me like. "Shit i can actually write poetry?" I honestly thought i was shit or could not write it. I will try again. See what happens init?

Just watched Wolf Children. It was alright like, different to what i normally watch anime wise but it had beautiful looks and music and a good voice cast. 

Thanks for reading if you did.
