Before being introduced to this amazing tool, the class were asked if anyone knew Photoshop automatically I doubted that Photoshop and I would get along, it meant more computing for me.
You can get rid of red eye, so that "my son is the son of the devil" fiasco every family has
You can merge pictures together for either constructive, educational benefits good examples would be digital imaging, making posters etc.
Or funny, stupid benefits an example could be putting a squirrel in an army costume and making a speech bubble with the words inside “tell my wife I love her.” One of the many great, stupid benefits which I enjoy and is the reason is why I was obsessing about this on the bus to myself and thought I will do a blog of appreciation.
But I’m the only one that I can’t get over this amazing tool, the band amazing ad modest “Everything, everything” sang the (distracting me of an important college lesson) song “Photoshop handsome.”

That band as well as the vast millions of us loves Photoshop.

Jeremy Kyle (I'm not a fan)
He started off in radio and because there was room to exploit the mutants (sorry the willing volunteers to ridiculed) across Great Britain. Don’t get me wrong its funny entertainment but after so, so long the same story getting repeated over and over again gets boring. If there was a talking doll for Jeremy Kyle the quotations would have to be
“Put something on it the end of it!”
“Get a job!”
“You see that, it’s the Jeremy Kyle show!”
If these delinquents listened to these screamed out ramblings Jeremy Kyle would be the one out of the job.
Although the stuff is real unlike the American Jerry Springer show and is possibly the only good thing to watch on day time television, the guy is only it for himself, pretending to be interested and caring for these things, I don’t like false people and he is definitely one of those people.
Not only that but getting his goons to bully the victim back onto the stage finally using the nice guy approach to lure back on the stage where he just yelled and humiliated the guest isn’t not nice to watch the victims are too stupid to realise that this nasty man is simply exploiting this either cheating partner or junkie or in many cases both.
And to finish it all off he says the word literally too many times
“Their world has been literally torn apart”
“They have been literally torn apart”
They were only literally torn apart after fighting outside the dirty, cheap night club at 4 o’clock the morning before.

OMG the weather
The weather outside is so gorgeous, I almost want to take it out for dinner. Finally after snowy weather and the weather where it looks hot and so you go out with just a shirt on and run cowardly back into the house for a jumper, it is now awesome. But now I just want to embrace it, maybe even going back to the playground ... ok I might burn, maybe not.
But it is so nice … (get ready) I'm not wearing my coat I know wow but wait a second … sitting down yet? … I haven’t even brought my coat along with me today, I know OMG right?
… But nah I have a jumper, I’m not that crazy :(
And spring just starting off right now, what’s up with that! I might just write a letter

Football the beautiful game
The beautiful sport has always been a passion of mine and many, many others. I was watching a champion’s league game with my girlfriend and she said they're just kicking the ball from one side of the pitch to the other and so I tried to explain why it is so much more; To get past the opposition you have to use problem solving skills, the stronger the opposition, the better the problem solving, the better the football ... I didn't win her round.
It also creates a belonging of people and brings towns or fans from around the world together, the bigger teams and games creates social international gatherings.
Some of my memories have come from football whether it's the national cup matches or just the kick-abouts that we created as children with a simple football and made up goal posts. With the inspiration from the footballers (idols in many cases) it is really easy to play yourself, using what you have just seen either at the stadium or on the television. Just get two jumpers and a football and there you go, let the magic happen.
This weekend Rangers and Celtic played each other, over the past few weeks they has been very bad press of them (deserved) and they were threatened by the police before the game any more trouble and the staff could face arrest on the pitch but there was no trouble.
Instead the game was a massive success, a brilliant match, end to end football, no trouble, all the news was at the back of the papers instead of the front like it had been, and instead it was just a great example of what football really is, an entertaining sport not the tantrums that often gets mistaken for passion. Instead I believe passion is biting the tongue and doing what has to be done at the best quality possible.

The news of Japan
For such a global and disastrous situation and the aftermath I will be serious. I will start talking about listening to radio 2 a phone-in has a son who was in Japan at the time. She said that he was not personally phased about it, okay that’s very bizarre but a point of view that we the curious viewer wouldn’t have heard this. We all paint a picture of Japan just making an assumption that everyone is devastated and that everyone’s’ lives would be destroyed due this. In the reporting news we are only seeing the devastated pictures and videos of the after-math but we are not hearing the voices of the people, instead we have the blogs. The blogs are varied and different rather to the same news that keeps on repeating the victims escaping the rubble that was their homes. We know these unheard voices exist through blogging and are being ignored by the media which I was relying on.
We are just told the devastating facts not the peoples’ stories.
http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/16/the-days-most-popular-stories-219/
In blogs we have seen simple blog messages such as “I survived Japan’s massive earthquake” http://uk.jalopnik.com/5781018/i-survived-japans-massive-earthquake
Something so simple, imagine it was you, with all of the chaos around you, so much chaos to quite understand so this message, now this could be the thought behind the peoples’ message.

Scenes that make you go WOW!
Smoking Aces
The movie goes on a bit, now like a story but for an action movie, all the action is saved for the climax at the end, but it's when the police officer and the hotel imposter are in the lift together (he's a serial killer). The police officer can notices a distinctive thing about the man's finger tips (they're chewed off) as he sees the finger tips he realises this is the man he has studied and knows how violent and dangerous this really is. Knowing that he has to do his job, knowing the deadly consequence he pulls out his gun to arrest the serial killer (the serial killer facing the lift door away from the police officer). The serial killer sees the gun in the reflection and so he slides his his kife down his sleeve undetected. At this point you know it's going to kick off. The police man asks his last question "so how long have you been working here" they both know the serial killer an imposter and the police officer wants to arrests the serial killer, they both get shot up very badly, just an amzing scene Frequency
An amazing movie can't get over, how amazing but to the scene. It is about a man Jack Sullivan and he manages to back in time to talk to his dead Dad and the man tell him what he needs to do to avoid death, unfortunately because of the Dad’s actions a serial killer is saved and carries on killing these innocent people, investigating the bodies they find out that the cereal killer that is still alive to the Jack’s day. Which brings us to our WOW scene, finding out that the Dad was investigating the cereal killer finds steals the dad’s wallet and finds out where he lives and attacks his family (Jack Sullivan and his mum) back in the seventies. But in our time the same serial killer (but older) has also discovered Jack Sullivan (grown up) was investigating them. Both having their radios on listening to each other speak both Jack Sullivan and his Dad’s family are attacked and can both hear it through the radios.
The bit that sticks out for me has to be when the serial killer says “time to die Sullivan” and is heard through the radio. After that in the seventies the Dad shoots the serial killer’s hand off which, so in the future where the serial killer is dominating the fight he soon becomes shocked at what he sees (his hand disappearing because what happened 30 years ago) the same hand that held the gun for him to shoot Jack Sullivan with.
The Dad shooting the serial killer’s hand off this scares the cereal killer away and so the Dad lives onto the present day where he shoots the shocked present day serial killer saving Jack Sullivan.
Now I know these are just words read on your monitor screen but please just get this movie and love and appreciate it, you won’t regret it.
Star wars the phantom menace
Obi Wan the apprentice to Qui-Gon Jinn fight Darth Maul the challenging assassin to the two Jedi. The fight scene is unfortunately interrupted by the war with Jaja binks and his army but still incredible. Darth Maul is so strong and powerful he manages to fight off the two Jedi but with the two he doesn’t quite mange to kill either of them but gets his chance. With a laser force field he finally gets the chance to kill the older master Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and does so. Teasing Obi wan as Obi wan watches his master dyeing this sends Obi Wan into a rage and this where my favourite bit comes in. The quick light saber movement and the inredible music to long with it, you’re left amazed watching it. Obi Wan falls down the shaft and as the viewer waits for the apprentice’s doom the quick thinking of Obi wan looking at Qui-Gon Jinn’s light saber Obi wan uses the force to pull it to himself at the same time as throwing himself up over the villain and in two movements Obi wan slices Darth Maul in half and you the viewer are just sat there amazed at what had just happened.
The Matrix
Neo just died and the audience's trip with the main character, now when he died I thought this movie could be one of these movies where it's just a devastating ending.
Neo being the one and the only hope and inspiration to his comrades, the comrades just give up in disbelief, so everyone of us are just shocked but with the words and kiss of his love Trinity brings him back to life. But he is so much stronger and relating to the scene from before where Morpheus describes the one to Neo saying he could stop bullets this incredible scene says and shows us all what we had been waiting for, we realise that he is the one. Destroying agent Smith we just sit back and appreciate this awesome scene and movie.
Another awesome scene is when Mouse dies. They have found out that the Matrix are near and they all know they have to escape, Mouse isn't with them though and realises too late. He looks for a way out, out the window but it's bricked closed, knowing that he is trapped and the Swats are quickly coming he picks up two machine guns and shoots crazily as he gets shot to pieces by the Swats.

Movies that suck ... not just my opinion but now your's
The Marine
Ok I should have guessed this, when my Dad said it would be good. Loads of action but the story line was just awful. It's all about John Cena's wife (that's right wrestlers I should have just refused the movie right there) getting kidnapped by bad guys. Bad guys that are fine killing other innocent people but instead of killing her another innocent civilian that has nothing to do with them. They for some reason waste their time and energy keeping her hostage getting a lot of attention from the immortal John Cena. No it's not a sci-fi but some how just John Cena can just survive these massive explosions, just ridiculous but the worst scene has to be when the really bad guy Robert Patrick is nothing but bones literally, it’s so, so awful.
If it was a comedy, it would have been successful, because the lack of effort and skill in this made me ask myself, should I just turn this off and go out for a jog … and that’s saying something. Just avoid this movie.
THE EXPENDABLES
The best action cast ever assembled shame about the story. A cheesey romance between stalone and a woman a third his age, and the same with a anti-surgey advertisement. A very awkward scene with Arnie, Stallone and Willis which made me consider about getting up from the counch and helping out in the kitchen.
The explosions and deaths were impressive but a big question is why would the very evil, very wealthy bad guy be interested in a poor South American country, it doesn't make any sense. Why would an American organisation be interested? Is there oil there?
Just rating the cool deaths, well they are awesome so an 8/10 for that but the rest of the film, just no ... just ... no

Will Ferrel, man or god?
Elf
When we think of christmas movies, we don't think funny but cheesiness. Elf manages to relate to both with Buddy the Elf's stupidy and the humour throughout that captures the interest of all generations. Buddy the Elf realises that he is not a wierd six foot elf, but a human being. The story is about him finding out what life is like in New York and him trying to fit into his family (with his Dad who is on the naughty list). It is a lot funnier than my description, it's awesome.
Old school
An older version of American Pie, it was really funny though, but Will Ferrel was not the leading man for a change. He was the drunken divorcee living the student life doing crazy college stuff. There's a really funny scene when he returns the toaster to the friend who gave him that toaster and the awkwardness when it's brought up. A good movie but not the biggest role he's had.
Anchorman
The arrogant, stupid journalist,works in the male enviroment and just hilarious (I don't think we'll ever see Will Ferrel playing a serrious role). Working in the male of enviroment of journalism back in the 1970's. The unbelievably stupid man has more credit than the female journalist but it's just hilarious. The song afternonn delight by Bucks Fizz was just incredibly funny and now when our generation hears this song automatically we think of Anchorman. It's awesome! (Vernon Kay agrees so meh, it must be true
My favourite quotes are:
"I am kind of a big deal"
"I am Ron Burgundy?"
Blades of glory
Awesome movie, Chad Michael Michaels is hilarious the sex addicted figure skater is hilarious my favourites quotes have to be:
"Get out of my face"
"I'll get inside your face"
"The night is a really dark time for me"
And other lines I don't want to quote as I'm getting marked on this.
Just what he does makes him hilarious, a movie I would say if without him may have probably been very rubbish. He's just such an influential role in this movie.
He just seems to always make his characters incredibly funny, in some cases making a movie what it is because of his roles.

The influence
We all talk about leaving our mark on the planet but that mark is influenced. Everyone of us is influenced by someone or something (just look at the Robert Bruce (Dunfermline and Scotland hero) he was influence by a spider to carry on with thewar on England. A good way to see this is looking through the people of the different eras. Different times of history have created many different characters for example Adolf Hitler would have gotten to power nowadays, a major factor for him getting to power was Weimar Germany collapsing , not being able to afford a loaf bread and the German peoples’ trust in the government being trampled on due the treaty of Versailles and then a man talks of a “positive” resolution. As so This country gives in to the man’s slur s, if he was around now he would be humiliated over question time.
The Roman empire wouldn’t work now due the alliance system and even homosexual icons like George Michaels and Boy George now I know Boy George’s father beat him up and the rest of brothers were working class boxers but he found other eccentric people who could relate to. He inspired homosexuals to feel comfortable about themselves but if we was around in the 18th and 19th century he would probably have remained plain old, unhappy Mr Smith with the neglected wife. My point is we’re all influenced and inspired to become the men and women of the world, nowadays the majority of us are inspired by a controlled media. Although we find the “individuals” parading the fact they hate the government and what the media is doing to our fragile minds what made them think this way.
We’re all blank canvases, we don’t make our own minds up it is done for us, through little seeds in advertisements, television, the internet everywhere you go, you cant escape it just accept it or live in denial. These seeds are planted by the painter of our canvases just be hope your painting is correct or rather the same as everyone else’s.
