The Triumphs and Tribulations of Wiz

At first I didn't really know what to post about and then I found this video
Man you have to be unlucky to be splattered like that. The mongoose that takes off cos of the grenade he threw flies through the air and splatters him with no one on. UNLUCKY

On another note, today was results day and I got my results, 6A*s 2As and a B, enough to get into winstanley, so that is where I am going in 10 days time. Ten days to the end of the summer holidays. This is just a random post as you can tell, I am going to try and post every other day but when I said that last time it failed so anyway.

Many will know of the popular microblogging tool twitter for posting little tidbits of info to the world, similar to a blog but with only 140 characters available. But I have decided to not use twitter as it seems to have a lot of problems scaling, and so I have been using the smaller, but in my view better, Plurk.com as my microblogging tool. Instead of displaying posts down in a list it displays them in a timeline view that also includes the plurks of your friends. Also, friends can discuss about your plurks and you can share images and other things like youtube as well. Altogether it is a well rounded service with lots of new features possible. It is still in its infancy and we will wait to see how well it scales with that being twitters main problem. But it is good and if you want to join then click this link

P.S. I am going to try and post regularly, hopefully once a day if not then once everyother day.

So I've just set my blog up and I thought I'd tell you a bit about my self.

I live in the north west, no point in me telling you where it is as you would never be able to find it but anyway, it is halfway between Liverpool and Manchester. I am taking GCSEs at the end of this year at Deanery High School in Wigan. I am an explorer scout and young leader in St. Helens and I don't care what people think of me being a scout. With my explorer unit I have been to Iceland, been abseiling doing a climbing course and numerous walks.

I am also know as a gadget freak and love to fiddle with anything techy wise like computers or phones or MP3 players.

I have an xbox 360 which is at Microsoft at the moment cos it is broke. I love my xbox, spend most of my waking life on it. I play most first person shooters, favourites include, CoD4, Halo 3, and Rainbow 6 Vegas. I am really looking forward to Mass Effect and might get assassins creed
. Really looking forward to Tom Clancy's Endwar, that looks an awesome.

With the threat of nuclear war eliminated, no one thought world war 3 was possible, but they were wrong...

It is the US vs an EU alliance vs Russia which looks awesome

That is all I am going to post today, but I'll post some more stuff later tomorow or sunday
