What to write?

I've hit writers block. I don't know what to write.
Well I have ideas on what to write but not how to write it.
I blame twitter for this. With it's silly letter limit. How is my mind meant to flourish with such a limit set in place.
Maybe I should do a post for my friend that is always asking me to do one (he know who he is). But I don't know where to start. Or how to do the format that he has set out. Wouldn't want to ruin a format. It would be like going to someone's bedroom and rearranging their bookshelves. Or DVD collection. Or Video Game selection. I have a very specific way of organising my Games. First it's order of never played. Then regular play. Then Kinda Play but keep it close just in case. And then in all of those sections will then be in alphabetical order. That would so piss me off if someone rearranged it. Like I would demand that put it all back in place.
Anyway. Things that I've done this month. I had my birthday (Whooo for me) which I spent at the Camden Crawl. Where I lost my phone so sadly have no pictures. Actually this month I have no pictures at all which is a change for me saying I always take loads.
What else can I talk about. I'm looking forward to Reading. Like really really. Sundays line up is my idea of Gig heaven. Blink 182 alone makes me dribble a little. Oh and there is Paramore as well. Speaking of which any one see the photo that was put onto a centain lead singer's Twitter account? I have. I got to say they are quite nice. But it is a bit silly of her to try and say that she was "hacked". Yeah a hacker is going to go into your account and post a picture that only you could have. Yeeaaaahh, riiiggght. Now the only band that need to say they are playing at Reading would be fun. (all lower case and with the . at the end as well).
I saw them twice now and absolutely adore their style in music. Uplifting beats with a strong lyrics. Their album is released on the 7th July (just a little bit over a week) and I strongly recommend it.
Things that are happening right now. Well at this present moment not only am I trying to type up this post with anything that comes to mind, I'm playing Call of Duty and also chatting to this girl that I served at work who is slightly intoxicated. She is also quite pretty. Her friend is hot as well. Shame they both have boyfriends. Always seems to be the case. What is it that say "Girls are like parking spaces. All the good ones are taken and the rest are either Disabled or Parent and Child."
Actually I have an idea on what the next post could be. Would be good to see other peoples look on it.
Well for someone that had nothing to write about I seem to have typed up a lot. I think I'll end it with a video from my favourite new band fun (listen to the words, you'll see what I mean about deep).

Is this real?

Not so much reality it self. That question get raised far too much since The Matrix was released but more the video below.

As many of you know (or may have forgotten saying I fell off the radar for two months) I love Freerunning/Parkour and skateboarding. I'm not so much a fan of Pringle lid throwing but if it's as cool as this guy makes it then I may watch it a bit more.

I just don't understand

I really don't. People will steal fake phones from a display. FAKE PHONES. And it's not like they are not stuck down. It takes a fair bit of effort to get one off the said display. So when I see this, it confuses me soooo much.


I even went and have a look myself and found that the keys were in the ignition. Now this looks way more fun then a phone that won't work. But not one person even sniffed at it. Well Apart from me. I guess I will never understand the mentality of some people.

Saving the pennies

And the ponds will look after you. Or something like that.

I have a trip coming up in April and I'm saving hardcore at the moment so I know that no only will I be able to go but that I can also have some money to spend while I'm there also.
So I had a look at my out goings to work out where I could save the most money.
First thing that I had to get rid of was the Video Game buying =0(
But that's not too much of a bad thing as I have Left 4 Dead 2 and COD MW2 also, so I will definitely have something to occupy my time.

The next big thing that was burning my money as if Fossil Fuels were going to run out tomorrow was food. I normally spend a stupidly large amount on food, which wasn't to healthy either.
So today I went out to look for alternatives.
Now on average my lunch would cost somewhere around the price bracket of £7-£10 depending on how hungry I was. Which is a ridiculous amount when I thought about it. £3 for a sandwich just because someone buttered it for me. You're having a laugh (and at my expense).
So how much would it be to get my bead and butter it. Well I can get 4 rolls for 50p, Butter for a £1.49 and filling (Ham in this case) for £1.60. Working that out on a daily basis that's:
2 rolls= 25p a day
Butter that will last about a month £1.49/30= 5p a day
Ham 12 slices. 2 slices a day= 27p a day
So a grand total of 57p a day. A saving of £6.43. WHOOP SPENDING MONEY!!!
Sorry don't know what got over me just then.
But what about those days where I'm really really hungry. We're talking about 2 Big Macs, 2 Large Fries and Cheese Burger and possibly a little extra room for a McFurry.
Well today was one of those days and being determin as I am to not spend extra money I got my myself some soup. Looking at it alone filled me up.
Don't believe me? Have a look for yourself.

By god the amount of meat and veg in this little tub was immense and for £1.50 I could not go wrong.
So lets see in total on a hungry day I would normally would spend £10. With this method I spend £2.07. UP YOUR RONALD MC FUCKING DONALD!!!!

While I was out...

... I found myself the cutest and coolest keyring.
Words actually don't do it justice so here's a quick pic.

Of course I bought the little dude right away. Who would be able to say no to him?
Well maybe this man.


He came into my shop and I just had to get a photo. How many keyrings does he have on that thing? Also if you're one of my UK readers then you may recognise this person. He was on the X-Factor last year.

What he says at the end about Louis is so true, specially saying that Louis put John and Edward through.

Freebies

Don't you just love them?
What do you mean you don't? Sorry you must of wandered onto the wrong page you freak.
But too those of you who said yes, surprisingly you're not in a small group. Everyone likes a good freebie once in a while. Be it those testers of cocktail sausages in the supermarket or that mix cd of that ramdom dude that's trying to get on the scene.

The latest freebies that I got was a T-Shirt for Left For Dead 2 and this cool pet that's for my avatar on the 360. Now I don't have a full picture of it yet but but if you look to the right of the page you'll see my 360 gamer card. Now take a look at my gamer pic. See that cute little yellow thing. That's my own little Cocobo =0D
I haven't given him a name yet but I will soon. Isn't he the cutest? And to make it even better I got him for free. I just wish I remembered how I did it. I really should write these things down somewhere.

New Year's Resolutions (A day in advance)h

So it's been over a month (possibly two in fact) where I actually did a post. There are loads of little reasons for it, things like COD 4 MW2 (I addicted to that crap like Crack), not having access to a computer and Christmas (shopping and wrapping takes a lot out of ya).
But the main reason, the number one suspect in why I've not posted recently. The deadly sin which stops me dead in my tracks:

LAZINESS

It's affected a lot of what of what I do. Be it blogging to actually going to the gym (yeah I did managed to start, but as you can probably tell I haven't been in about two months).
Now, I could easily blame it on the fact that it is dark and cold because it is winter, however deep down I know it's just because I'm lazy.
But NO MORE. Well at least for 2010 =0)
My resolutions are simple.

• Post at least once a week.
• Go to the gym twice a week.
• Post off my UCAS form for Uni.
• Save up to go to Japan.

Now I should be able to do all of these things if I just stop being Lazy. Which I shouldn't find too difficult (I think) but I could really do with some help. So if My Fragile Mind starts to become stagnant, drop me an e-mail, post me a comment or even message me over Xbox Live. Life (and everything in general) is easier with a little bit of help. And finally just to finish my last post off for this Year (and the Decade)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Oh and a Belated MERRY CHRISTMAS

Ice Koobs

I just saw this

And I felt I should share it

I just can't describe what I feel about this at the moment. Maybe in a later post

Really. Europe is getting an Exclusive?

Yeah you did read right. But what is going to be so Exclusive?
Is it maybe Lucky Charms Delux. With extra sugar and E numbers then what you poke a stick at? Sadly no.
Maybe there will a special Koob Day, exclusive to the U.K. Again no. But that would be such an awesome idea. You could have floats that look like me. And in the parade (cause there will have to be a parade) there would be portable karaoke machines.
Errr.... where was I? Oh yeah the Exclusive to Europe.
Well I'll give some clues to what it could be.
It is video game related.
It's about colour.
When you say it's name you sometimes giggle (well I still do).
And sometime when you play with it's controller it feels like you have a very kinky sex toy in your hands.

Yes you guessed it. The Wii is getting a little makeover with the Black Edition.

Mmmm. Well that's it. It does look nice. But I got one already. And can't be arsed to replace it. It's not like I play it much any way.
But I guess there will be a load of people that will do so.

So...the Nobel Peace Prize

Yeah I know it's a bit late to really make too much of a comment on this but here's a quick thought on it.

In my eyes Barack Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize is like me getting the Galaxy British Book Award. You know, for that book, the one that I keep saying that I'm going to write but just haven't got round to finishing yet.

I'm not saying that he won't deserve it. Just not yet. And before anyone tries and say it's because he has managed to get peace talks going then poppy cock. The nominees for the Noble Peace Prize are chosen in February. He was only in office for...what...a month, possibly two.
I don't see any justification for this. And if any one can, then please feel free to explain it to me.
Koobs

P.s It's at times like these where I do wish I could become Prime Minster. Like I say Prime Minster Koobs has a awfully good ring to it.

MM. How music can reflect how you feel

Probably best to play the song first before going into this one.

I think Robyn smacks the nail on the head with this song. That little (or big) crush that you have that is currently seeing someone else. It just never feels that it will ever be doesn't it.
Oh well can't dwell on it can we? The Answer to that is no by the way.
Koobs
P.s What is up with the little black dude in the video? Is she like babysitting him or something?

GF. Dribble

The just one of the remixes that I've found. But some others that I have seen are:

• Herbie Hancock vs N.E.R.D
• Kid Cudi vs Black Eyed Peas
• Jackson 5 vs. Gang Starr
• Gwen Stefani vs Rick James
• Marvin Gaye vs Gorillaz
• Dizzee Rascal vs Justice

Now these are just some of the tracks that I have seen. But it does look like they are using the sames songs from each artist. For example the Black Eye Peas song is Boom Boom Pow in both the trailer you've just seen and in the Remix with Kid Cudi (his song is Day n' Night btw).
Not that that is a bad thing.
I can see this being a brilliant party game. I kinda hope that there is a mode that if you flop the music will carry on and not ruin a good mood.
Another game mode that I have found is the following:

I think I better go and clean up that dribble puddle that has just formed.

MM. Guilty Pleasures

We all have them. Those songs of which you can't say why you like it because there is no reason for you to like it. Those guilty pleasures. Those songs that if anyone else heard them you would become the laughing stock of the very town (or city) that you live in.
It's lucky in a way then that I don't really care what anyone thinks of me really.
This Monday's song is Untouched by The Veronicas. I don't even know why they are called The Veronicas. It's the actual bands name and no one on the band is call Veronica.
I heard this song at work and instantly became hooked. I just can't get this song out of my head. To the point that I was even singing along to it when it came onto my Ipod and not realizing it. Not that I care. It's always good to share out the Koobiness.

I have to say I didn't even know that they looked that hot. I only actually ever heard them until today and was taken aback. And they are twins to. Only one thing can be said about that "High Five".
I love how at the end of the video it so obvious what the guy was talking about. What an idiot. You wait till she totally sloshed before you drop a line like that. I joke, I joke. You wait till they are BOTH sloshed before dropping that line *Thumbs up*

"Ah l-l-la, ah l-l-l-la"

GF. No more. Please No More

I've just taken a peak at the release list of video games for Q4 this year.
I think that My Social Aids may be trying to fight my immune system and make me a total hermit.
Just in case you don't know what is coming out here's a quick list.

23 Oct Ghostbusters (360, DS, Wii[Why waste time and money with the Wii Version?])

( Do you think they ever pull those proton packs out as a party trick?)

I've been waiting too long for this to be released. Why so long? Do I really care? No. I just want the 23rd of October and hurry up and get here already.

27 Oct DJ Hero (360, PS2 [Again why? Surely it's died already.], PS3, Wii)
I was starting to get a little bit bored of the music game scene and then I find this video clip on the net.

Did you hear that sick remix, did you see the list of daft punk remixes alone. All in all I heard that 100 songs have been put together so far. And that's not taking into account DLC. Damn, I'm all over this game like a big Polish Rash.

10 Nov Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (360, PS3)
Addiction doesn't beginning to describe what I have for the original Modern Warfare multiplayer.

From the look of the video a lot of requests have been fulfilled from new mulitplayer games to host migration. Plus don't you just love the noise that guys makes when he gets hit in the head? Play it again from 1.49 to see what I mean.

13 Nov Left for Dead 2 (360, PS3)
I've only really got into the first one but you can never have to many zombie games.

(Don't it look like his swearing at us?)

20 Nov Assassin's Creed 2 (360, PS3)
I'm beginning to see a pattern here.

(Mmmm. Double blade goodness)

Anyone who play thought Desmond Miles memories, would want to know what is going to happen to him and his ancestors. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not as psych about this as I was for the first but I need to know what happens.

27 Nov The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (DS)

( I Choo Choo Choose you)

It's Zelda. 'Nought said really.

27 Nov Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS)

(Luigi only just noticed what was next on the menu)

I've always like how the Mario & Luigi games play with it's mix of Button bashing and RPG.


So it looks like I'm going to need to start doing a short list of games I really want and put the rest on my Xmas wish list. Oh shit I only just realized. There are only 3 more Months till Xmas. That means 3 more pay days. Damn I'm going to need to start saving now.

Ice Koobs
P.S It was only after I wrote up this post that I noticed how many sequels are being released. Oh well, it's luck that I like Re-Hash Browns.

So, why so little?

You would think that saying I've had far more time on my hands then I used to, I would have done more posts. Well as you can see, that assumption is wrong in the fullest. But the thing is, I want to know why? Yes I as in me.
So I looked at when the post went funny. It happened when I transferred to the store closer to home and that didn't have the stupid opening times. But then it clicked. The change of store was only but one Domino in the effect of me posting less.
Now as we all now by changing stores I ended up having more free time to do what I please.
One the things I have chosen to do is hang out with my friends and socialize more. Now I'm not saying that just because I'm meeting more people mean I'm going to post less, but it again is another domino piece ready to tumble.
But the thing is, that my friends have ended up being another vent that I can use for my Koobiness. So where I used to use my blog to let all the things in my head out, there isn't as much as there was before. But that just means that I got to just improve my memory. That way I can repeat what I said on here.
Things that have happened over the last weekend? Well yesterday I was at the Free Running Championships. Good Times!!!
It was broadcasted Live on BBC 3 and can also be seen on the BBC iPlayer here.
It's an hour long so if you want to see the high lights go to 14.55. And ignore what the commentators say. It popped out. And it was his knee.
And also the winners preformance at 36.10. All I can say is Tim "Livewire" Shieff rocks.
I let you make your own thoughts about the event.

MM. 30 Seconds to Mars - A Beautiful Lie

While most people would just be lazy and put up the The Kill or From Yesterday (both of which are great songs, just slightly overplayed), I decided to see if I could find another video that's been released. It wasn't as hard as I thought because the first one I looked for was the also the easiest to find.

I really like the the edits of this video. The slow downs of the cymbals being hit, the guitarist spinning, the flying overview and on top of that, a really engrossing song. It all seems to suck you in.
Koobs

What's going on?

I've found that I've been asking myself this question quite often. I was hoping that by having more time due to my job change, I would be able to do more post. Where in fact it's turned out that I done less. So less that I'm sure it's been a month since my last post.
I feel so ashamed of myself. I should at least throw in the odd ramdom post here and there. But it just seems that my mind is as tiny as it used to be and due to that I have no need to unload it as often. I will start doing more posts. But I need to finish this god damn Monologue. Yes another one is in the pipe line. I just not fully happy with the current state that this one is.
For the mean time feel free to marvel at the following picture of me doing what I enjoy most

A prize for the first person to guess what I'm Karaoking to.

MM. Carry On My Wayward Son

Ever since I've played Guitar Hero, there has always been one song that stood out for me. I never heard it before I played it, but regardless I played it good. We're talking about 5 star good without trying. That song was Carry on my Wayward Son by Kansas.
Now most people would be like who, what, huh? But it's more then likely that you have heard the song. I know that it was used in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
But the main place that I sure that you may of heard the song is Supernatural. I'm a massive fan of the show and just saw the end of season 4. I'm not going to ruin for people that haven't seen it yet, but I kinda saw it coming. But I was a little pissed at how they just left it hanging.
Back to the song. It has been always be used as the background song to the final episode run down, also known as the "The Road So Far", of all the events so far in any season. It's also very fitting for the show not only due to the words, but the also for the bands name is Kansas. It's where the Winchesters are from.
Without further ado. Here's the song. I also felt that saying how Supernatural has such a strong link to the song now, I felt that it appropriate that it would be a Supernatural video montage.

I really can't get enough of Supernatural. Most of the girls they chose to cast are some right hotties. Like Ruby in season 3. Damn. I'm not normally a blonde kinda guy. But in this case I would make an exception.
Ice Koobs

That's just mean

Come on. Why would do that to someone who blantantly can't climb? Unless of course the guy was being a dick. Then I guess it would be kind of ok. But I still would of got it afterwards.
Ice Koobs

Do you dance?

I guess the question should be made a bit more clearer. I mean when you hear some song do you have an urge to just pop your body to it? To let your energy flow? To put the music into motion?
I have a bad habit when I'm at work and there is nothing to do of dancing to the store music. It will start with an innocent swaying, back and forth. Then turn into a shuffle of the feet. Followed by some elaborate hand motions. Luckily I regain control of my body and senses and stop myself before I turn the shop floor into a dance floor and scare away any customers that come in.
Today the same thing happened. But after wards someone said I was so strange. I'm not strange just different.
But then I started thinking have there been any other times when people have just started randomly dancing? I started looking and guess what. There are.

I love how this guy has been practicing on this dance. Kudos to him for doing it in public.

What do you do when you don't have the video game? Dance to the music of course. We've had the migraine skank and the swine flu skank. Now it's time for the Song of Storms skank.
One quick thing. Watch the video again. But keep your eyes on the guy in the back. Dude is trying to some some pole dancing moves.

Maybe I'm not so strange. Sading I do work for T-Mobile it does seem fitting that I also want to dance once in a while. It's not like they're setting a very good example for me now does it?
