So... Wow... like... really wow...
The title says it all really. I found a site, that i feel everyone with any views about anything should visit regularly! This is the site:
http://www.ted.com/
That's right, simple name i know. This site is basically recordings of this seminar or whatever it's called, that is full if scientists, musicians, artists and actors that basically talk/sing/act etc. about common/uncommon issues and view. Now, that sounds rather complicated i know, but there's a menu on the left that splits the site into categories.
I'm really only posting because of this particular video i just watch, it really is amazing! It's kinda hard to follow though, but please bare with it! I know, the man is rather ugly and foreign, but he is a genius! Enjoy!:

Go fuck yo-.... I mean Groverize Yourself.... *cough*

Cool quote
Well, just watched Fight Club for some reason. Love the movie. Thought i share possibly the best paragraph of speech in movie history:
"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." -Tyler Durden, from Fight Club (1999)
Cool eh?

District 9
I know I've posted already, but after going to Andy and Hem's house for Tortillas we went to the cinema to see District 9... My treat as they payed for dinner.
Not gonna give away any of the story, nor am i going to review it in any way, there's plenty on the net if you're looking for a review. All I'm going to say, is that in MY opinion, it's a pretty awesome film, and sadly, a fairly accurate 'what if ' movie... because lets face it... humans are cunts to anything that's different.
Nuff said
Till next time.

Well this is a first
Well, I’m only doing this because I badgered a friend into making a post and he realized I hadn't posted at all... though he is now in America for a year and should be spending his time keeping is friend up to date rather than studying and getting good grades! Jeez Tom! Prioritise! (Tom is one of my best friends by the way, he may come up in future posts, so I thought I’d give you a heads up... heck I’ll probably explain who my friends are later in this post, so I don't know why I’m writing this!)
Well, let’s move on to doing this soon to be 'amazing and followed by everyone in the world because I rock' blog... that wasn't really a quote by the way, unless you count quoting the voice in my head telling me what to write. You know, not a crazy 'burn it all' voice, just the conscious thought when you're writing or thinking of something to say voice.
Sorry, went off on a tangent again. So what would you like to know?... Oh yeah, you can’t answer until I’ve posted this... Well I’ll just assume from now on that you want to know everything! Heck, this could be like keeping a diary, apparently it's like, emotionally healthy or some shit like that to keep a diary. Personally, I think it's just a big conspiracy set up by some big corporation to get kids to buy those franchised covers like 'The Super Duper Lockable BARBIE Diary'... quite like the one I use... no, don't believe that, it's not really true. That something about me you should know, I say stupid things that are mostly false just for a giggle... most of the time it works, but I did spend about 70% of my college years with people think that I’m actually gay because I made a sarcastic 'Oh yes, of course I’m gay' when someone asked, Little did I know they were being serious! Damn you Luke! (Luke is also one of my best friends who thought it'd be fun to antagonise the situation by talking to people seriously about just how gay I am). Now, I feel I should explain... I honestly have nothing against gays, I fully respect them and they tend to be the most pleasant people to talk to... but I’m just NOT is all. Why is that so hard to believe? Oh yeah, because I do things like write blogs... Oops, forgot my audience for a second there, no I don't think you guys and girls are gay... oh bugger it, I’m changing the subject.
Back to me then, as that’s what you're all here to read about (HAHAHAHAHA). Well, I worked at Tesco on the Checkouts for almost 2 years, and that almost swallowed every little bit of self respect and happiness I ever had. But great news! I got a new job!.. At Tesco... It's really not as bad in there as most people think though. I'm now a 'Technical Advisor'. Sounds fancy right? Well, it's just a fancy way of saying 'Wonder around 4 isles, stopping every now and then when there's a good bit on Wall-E'. That right people I get to control the displays! Meaning I choose the movies playing, I choose the music playing, and now that the PS3 Slimline has come out, I get to stand at a TV in the centre isle and PLAY Fifa 2009!! Also, every 4-5 months I get sent away to a 4 star hotel for 'Training' (definition: Get pissed, play football and sleep while people talk at you a bit). It's a very cushy job, but far from what I actually want from life unfortunately. Yes, I’m happy for now, but who considers Tesco as a lifelong career at this age? Lots of people, it's actually a great career place, contrary to popular belief, but it's just not for me I guess.
So what are my plans for the future I hear you ask? (again, just assuming, I’d probably hear thing more along the lines of 'Shut the fuck up' or 'Get a life' but they're not nice and I want to keep going for a bit... don't worry, almost finished I think). Well, the plan is to eventually go to University and do an IT course. I'm looking as a few that are very appealing at the moment and hopefully I’ll be doing them ASAP. Why not now? Well, to be completely honest... I don't know why not now. Am I scared? Yeah, a little... but I think the main reason is I’m never good with life changes, or maybe my home life just isn't sorted fully yet... nope, I’ve got it! I'm just plain, full on and completely LAZY! Can I blame my upbringing? Maybe a little, but I have the best parents ever! So I prefer not to. So all arrows are pointing to never going to Uni for the moment. I'm hoping that I’ll change my stripes, pull my finger out of my arse (heh, English spelling rocks) and get on with life properly. I'm not exactly unhappy with life now, but I would like more one day.
So to sum up that section. Future? Who knows, I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
Next Section... 'So, that’s the distant future (I keep almost spelling it like 'futer') covered, what about in the near future?' This bit will be much more upbeat, I promise, because I have some very good news! You ready?... Here it comes!... I'm... Going... To... AMERICA! That's right ladies and gentlemen! In 27 days from now I’ll be in sunny Florida! (As I often say, the Penis of America... Check the world map). Not only will I be in Florida, I’ll be staying in a Private Villa, with a Private Swimming Pool, A Private Jacuzzi and tickets to every major theme park in a 100 mile radius! And it only cost me the low low sum of £1500(ish) and of course £800 spending money, all now paid for and ready to go! And of course, I have my good friend Tom's phone number so I can phone cross state to California and say 'HEY! GUESS WHERE I AM!' (If anyone know's the area codes for it, I’d love it).
Wow, just copied and pasted all this into MS Word to fix spellings etc and it's come to about a page and a half! Now that me jabbering on.
So, another section, one I’ve forgotten to put in so far. 'So, about yourself, who are you?'. Well, my name is Ian Grover (yeah, like Sesame Street, I have the T-Shirt). I'm 20 years old at the moment, I'll be 21 in April. I'm single (hello Ladies). I work at Tesco (goodbye ladies), But get paid more than any other General Assistant (hello again? maybe). In my spare time I like to waste my life on a game called World of Warcraft (and they're off again). I was addicted to the computer once, favouring it over going out, but now I spend half my life in a pub with my friends and don't really get much time for the computer anymore... which is evident as I’ve spend an hour doing this so far... But yeah, no matter what's going on with the online world, I’ll always go out with friends over playing games (I’d like to say hello again but I don’t think I can after the World of Warcraft bit). My Bestest best friends whom I trust with anything are: Tom, Luke, Ant, Jason and Ed (no last names, for privacy reasons... Visit Tom’s blog at:http://www.pearsoninamerica.blogspot.com/ !). And that's the bare basics of me. Other bits and bobs will come up with the updates if you can be bothered to get to know me, keep coming back!
So, my first post is coming to an end. Did you enjoy your peek into my life? I hope so. If you didn't then piss off, if you did stick around, drop me a message. If no one reads this, then... who cares, I actually sort of enjoyed writing it. Can you believe I was going to just write a short paragraph and post it because Tom complained that I had nothing on my blog. I guess I have more to say than I thought.
Well, Laters people. Till next time.
