So far gone I think I'm fraping myself?

Seeing as the day that I met the wooden cherub was yesterday, I do believe that I could quite possibly be fraping myself in this post. Well, not necessarily fraping, seeing as this is not facebook, but I thought that blaping (which I invented just now) sounds a bit lame. But the same premise is there, someone else taking control of your social networking life and is going to most probably write something different to what you'd normally put. 

It feels like that is happening a lot to me lately. Especially around the weekend time. I think that it is a combination of weekend time and reading a lot of Chris (Simpsons Artist)'s posts and works. He has a very unique style, and you can quite easily slip into it without much thought really. it's like being fluent in another language but not quite because you are still in your mother tongue and all you have to do is forget punctuation and grammar and occasionally throw in an unexpected concept whilst I laugh at small owls tumble over. I hope you get the gist of it...

This is one of my favourite works from Chris (Simpsons Artist) because he is really good and his pictures fill me up with glee. That is because all he wants is for his fans and friends (and every fan is his friend as long as they don't make his mum shout at him and send him up to the loft again)is them to be wild and happy and fun and confident and the best them they can be. I like the hand in this picture because of the way that the fingers are drawn bendy but not too bendy and not too straight so that we really are going wild. If we put our hand up lots we could upset baby owls that are trying to fly and disrupting mother nature is not cool or wild so that's why we only do it a little bit because humans don't have wings so shouldn't be up in the air. It really gets me in a party mood. I bet chris does this a lot when he jumps off his garage because he seems to do it a lot on facebook and twitter. I wonder whether he gets out of breath when he tries to say his sentences too.

That's me he;s talking to

Look he even said something nice about me on twitter so he must be a GOOD EGG. And he always signs his posts XOX because he is giving you two kisses and a hug in the middle because he's sweet.

I know why this feels like frape... it's because it's so much more fun than writing your normal everyday statuses and posts and blah blah blah. Personally I think it's funny when I get fraped, the more ridiculous and creative the better. However I've never had a life turny-upside-downy frape unlike some people, so don't know its full terror... But I don't take myself too seriously, especially not on the internet because it isn't real life, is it? I know it's getting close to it but...you still have more fun if you don't take yourself too seriously. The best times are when acting like complete and utter fools, throw caution to the wind and make hay whilst the sun still shines.

But oh shit my facebook has some weird statuses left by me... it's only weekend fever I haven't really gone batty and I sound more like im going batty because I'm writing like Chris Simpsons Artist again. 

i think this article has gone on long enough. Top of the morning.

Steve Jobs dies.

Got any Jobs?

 I feel that as a blogger, it is somewhat compulsory to say something about this Steve Jobs death thing. Not that it has really affected me in any way whatsoever, but I just feel like I need to be one of those bloggers that seems to have to have an opinion on this sort of thing, ie everyone. Yes, my personal opinion is going to make a difference to the world, boring one person at a time... In any case, I guess he did do a lot for modern day technology...

I feel a bit backward about all of this, seeing as I only found out yesterday on facebook (how apt) having spent a horrendously busy day running to and fro from everywhere, and doing anything. I guess that it didn't register at first, but now it has, I don't think it's going to affect me too much. And I found out about it on my PC, as opposed to me iProduct, as I don't think that I have ever owned a product from Apple ever.

Ipod... through the years!

I always thought of Apple as being somewhat shiny and overrated and something that I couldn't really have because nice things in my possession generally tend to get destroyed. And besides, everything looked so pristine that I don't really deem myself worthy enough to own it, as it'll just get dirty. Apple stuff needs to be fingerprint-less, not scratched or cracked. Who the hell would get their Apple product damaged in the first place? If I'm paying a stupid amount of money for this thing, I'd want to put it in a cabinet far far away and away from any harm.

I do agree that all of their stuff does look very pretty. But when they released that iPod without a screen?  I know this is going back a fair while, but the iPod shuffle seemed a bit pointless. You had no screen, so you couldn't see what you were listening to, or what was up next, or select anything. I think that sort of thing is made for the really daring types, or those who love ALL of their music and can't be bothered to listen to a full album. I never had one myself, and quite glad that I haven't. It would've driven me insane, as half the time I don't know what I'm listening to anyway.

Pretty.

 Also, their laptops, (aptly named macbooks) are very pretty as well. I had a go typing on the keyboard once, and it was amazing. I had never typed on a keyboard so beautiful, yet I didn't think that it would really be worth considering buying a computer just on the principle of keyboard comfort. Maybe in a few years I may be able to buy such luxury products on a whim, but at the moment I would like to protect my credit rating and not go into debt, with the huge black hole of university fees looming up ahead. This is what I don't understand, why are Apple products so expensive?

Yes, it's a brand, and a big one at that. Steve Jobs helped it with his magical song and dance at every convention and unveiling of new product, but because of that they've stuck an unnecessary excess price on every item. This is what makes them more of a "coveted, but not really too bothered about not having it" brand to me, rather than must have. Sadly, I do not have more money than sense, and if I find a laptop with better specs and half the price of a macbook, I would side with the former.

 I guess the thing with Apple is they're not really inventing new things, just more modifying the stuff we've got into something smaller and neater and cuter and more convenient... and fusing things together. I hope that the next big brand to rise up out of this will actually start making something completely different from this tablet PC vein we're currently stuck in....
