Music

Hey guys, quick post about my musical background and what you should expect in the future about any posts that i make about music.

So when i was about 5 i started playing the cello and i have been playing ever since, but i have also played the trumpet, the bass guitar, the piano and the double bass at one point. But i guess you can say that my main instrument is the cello. I'm playing in the MYO (Melbourne Youth Orchestra) but i do have to say that classical music is not my favorite. Really i like all music, except maybe for heavy/death metal, and in the future i will probably be posting about recent music i heard and liked, or something along the lines of that.

If you have any music that you think i would like, feel free to comment it and maybe i'll give my views on it etc.



Now is this cool or what?


Till next time

Boooom....... HEADSHOT

Today i am very happy to announce that we got him.

Who? you might ask, well if you did answer that question you must have isolated yourself from the rest of the world for an entire day, because that "who" was OSAMA BIN LADEN.

He is gone, dead, ceased to exist, because he was killed and his body was retrieved after US special forces attacked his hideout just outside Islamabad (the capital) in Pakistan, killing him with no American or civilian casualties. This top secret mission was successful and after decades of tracking and failed attempts to assassinate or capture Bin Laden the US persevered and finally triumphed over the leader of Al Qaeda.

Nintendo 3DS

You’ve all seen the ads, “you have to see it to believe it” but honestly it’s true, my friend Mikey D let me use his 3DS (you should go check out his blog, it’s Mike D’s house of mike, it’s awesome). I was sceptical at first but as soon as I turned on the screen I was like “wooooah this is f***ing sick”. It really is exactly what the ads say, its 3D without glasses and you really do have to see it to believe it.

How do they do it? No f***ing idea! But it is definitely worth seeing. But I’ll tell you now, it doesn’t “jump out” of the screen like in the cinema, or on a 3D TV if you have one,  but it definitely goes in, and Nintendo even had some really cool inbuilt games which Mikey gave me the chance to play. It really does look 3D and I can’t emphasise that enough.

So if you’re not sure and haven’t seen it yet, go check it out. It will definitely make your mind up.

Just some advice

I'm not sure what this particular situation is like around the rest of the world, but ever since i have moved to Australia i have never been able to get over how expensive all the sports gear is "down under."

As i've said before, my dad and I are both very keen on sport and we both play a lot of tennis, so every now and then we need to buy some more stuff, and we look in all the renowned Australian sports shops (Rebel Sport, Nike/Adidas/any other sports brand shops) and we are still just amazed by how expensive it all is. For example one pair of Adidas Barricade's are $199 at Rebel Sport. So my dad and I thought about it, and we did realize a way around this. 

We shopped on the internet, buying gear from shops in America (Tennis Warehouse etc). Now Tennis Warehouse charges a minimum shipping fee of $40 (US) for any item you buy, but get this, if you buy two items they only charge an extra $6 or so depending on where you live (which ads up to $46).

SO THIS IS MY ADVICE!!!

BUY IN BULK FROM OVERSEAS AND IT WILL SAVE YOU MONEY! (especially for you Australians)

So in the end my dad and I bought:

2 x pairs of shoes (one pair was $69 the other $105)

6 x tennis shirts (about $40 each)

30 x overgrips ($29)

1 x tracksuit  ($100)

10 x socks  ($7 each)

 and with the amount of stuff we bought, the shipping only ended up being about ($70)


And all the items were either Adidas or Nike, not some unknown piece of....... you get my idea.

N.B YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY A LOT OF 1 ITEM

you can buy 1 pair of shoes, a few shirts, 1 of this, 1 of that and so on.

So instead of buying one thing from America, buy 10, 20 ,30 ,50 things or whatever.

This might not be the same for other things, i don't know.
Hope this was useful

Sport

For those of you that don't know, im very keen about sport and good tennis player. i follow sport a lot and in my future posts i will post quite a lot about tennis and other sports, but lets just start with tennis.

I started tennis when i was about five years old (my dad's a tennis coach) and I have been playing it ever since. I play comp and also play pennant for Royal South Yarra Tennis Club (on a scholarship), and i have won a few tournaments here and there, but nothing too major.




I watch a lot of different sport as well, but if there is any specific advice that i am gonna give about a sport, it is definitely going to be about tennis. But mainly i'll just give my opinions on upcoming or past sport events.

Until next time,

Sony (PS3s) Epic security fail (epic hacker win)

Now, the big issue this week, which has been all over the news is Sony's PS3 network being hacked. This massive security breach has led to customer's details being compromised. This security breach has caught Sony with their pants down, with their best attempts at calming the crowd being  a speech which was along the lines of

"we're sorry, oh yeah, and also you might want to keep an eye on your credit card bills."

Now thats just not good enough. Well, most of you probably know this already, but still, how did this even happen!! There are simply two answers, either

1) Sony's security/firewall etc on the network were not up to scratch
2) The hacker is an absolute freak who could probably hack the entire network of Finland from his                       iPhone if he wanted to.

I think we all know what the answer is, but ill leave it up to your imagination.

All i can say is, I'm glad i chose Xbox 360 over PS3 and I wish the best of luck to all you PS3 owners out there.

Good Luck!!

N.B TURNS OUT THAT THE HACK CAME FROM MODERN WARFARE 2

i knew MW2 was too good to be true :)
