The Walking Dead Returns

         One of my favorite TV shows finally returns after a very long break between seasons. We last left off with the farmhouse being overrun with zombies and an epic showdown between the two alpha males of the show Rick and Shane. Shane asked Rick to help look for someone, only to be found alone with Shane in an empty field. Shane at this point in the series is nearly insane, but Rick however outsmarted Shane and killed him first with a knife. Shane then rises as a zombie and the group quickly learns that now live people after dying of natural causes become zombies. The farmland is overridden so the group has taken refuge elsewhere. One of the main characters was separated during the massacre and was rescued by some mysterious stranger with a sword and two zombies chained to her as if they were her pets. We do not know who this masked hero is, but will will soon find out on Sunday October 14th for the beginning of the 3rd season of Walking Dead!!!

The Hobbit

           I am very excited about the hobbit and it coming to the big screens. I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan. I have seen all three movies at least 5 times. The thing that makes them so great is that the plot is so epic that anything less then absolute awe is unacceptable. The Hobbit is a prequel to the Lord of the Rings, which is focused mainly on a young hobbit named Bilbo, which is Frodo's Uncle. Gandalf brings 13 dwarves to the shire and at Bilbo's house and asks him to come on an adventure. The hobbit reluctantly agrees and the long and dangerous journey begins. I have not read all of the book, so I am unable to say what will come of these brave hero's, but I ensure it will be entertaining.

How My Day Went

   Today, my peers and I set off to McMaster University to compete against other schools in a physics related event. Out of the many events to choose from, my group chose the egg toss. The event sounds simple, create a device to put an egg inside, throw the device at the target, and allow the egg to survive. The task seemed much easier than it was. We spent hours testing different techniques of construction so that the egg would not shatter, nearly all of them failing miserably. We finally got one to work that we did not entirely expect to work. Our device was a large amount of straws taped side by side to appear as if its a raft of some sort. We then rapped the straws around the egg and bent the ends together to create a somewhat football shape. After taping some sponge around the devices perimeter, our project was complete. We completed the task to it's fullest potential and were very very very happy ;D

League Of Legends Championship

          Right now the League of Legends World Championship is taking place. The championship started out with 8 teams that hailed from different places worldwide. The first to teams to compete were Moscow 5 and Invictus Gaming. Moscow 5 shut them down 2-0 in the 3 games series and advanced to the semifinals. The second match up in the quarter finales were the Taipei Assassins and NaJin Sword. Similarly to Moscow 5, Taipei Assassin's shut down NaJin Sword 2-0, sending them packing and advancing themselves to the semi-finals. The third match was Azubu Frost against team Solo Mid, and Azubu Frost won 2 times in a row to shut down TSM. The last group in the quarter finals were Counter Logic Gaming and World Elites. After losing the first match, CLG pulled off 2 wins in a row to secure themselves in the semi finals. In the semi final rounds, Moscow 5 started off strong against Taipei Assassin's, but unfortunately were destroyed 2 games in a row. CLG suffered a similar fate to Azubu Frost and now Taipei Assassin's are scheduled to go head to head with Azubu Frost on Saturday October 13 in an arena of skill, strategy, and destruction.

My Thoughts on the Religion Retreat

         Although it was a someone neat experience, I thought the overall trip was unnecessary. It was a good thought to visit the remains of our patron saint, but the 2 and a half hour drive there almost made the trip not even worth going. We left at 7:20AM and arrived 2 hours and 30 minutes later, which puts us at nearly 10AM. We then stayed and did the boring activities until 2PM and then arrived back at school around 5PM. That means we spent 4 hours at Midland and around 5 hours in the bus. The fact that the drive was most of our day really put a dent into what this trip was supposed to be about, and I recommend changing it in the future if we want to have a truly successful Religion Retreat.

The impossiblilities of getting a job D:

It is so hard to get a job these days, I have been going all around the area in search for my first real job. the reason I want a job so badly is because I am saving up for a car and wish to be able to buy my own things, without being trapped in the endless web of guilt from family members. Just to list off some places I have applied are staples, McDonalds, ToysRus, Subway, Talize, Food Basics, Tim Hortons, and many more. I have dropped off nearly 50 resume's to 50 local stores and I haven't even had as much as a callback from any of these places. I have been pondering for hours how this could be possible. And i have discovered maybe it is the large amount of elderly seeking jobs for not exactly entertainment, but just for something to do. I don't think it is fair for me to being busting my hump trying to find a job so I can start my life, and failing to attain one, just because some old geezer wants someone to talk to on the day to day bases.

Apple: iOS6

            Just recently, the Apple corporation has released a new operating system update for all Apple products, which in this case was iOS6. I personally do not find this update to be all that good. In this update they changed minor things such as having the top bar of your screen be a shade of blue rather than black, and having a few more options when dealing with photo albums. The one thing, however, that I and many others hate, is the new mapping system. For reasons I am not aware of, and quite possibly would not be able to fathom, Apple decided to get rid of the standard google maps app that came with the product, and replaced with their own mapping system. The reason I do not approve of this change is because the new mapping system is in all ways inferior to the previous google maps app. With this new map, all areas in Canada are black and white, and no street names are provided. However if an address is entered it will still pinpoint it. But the sheer fact that there is no display of streets around you is astonishing at least.
