Lawnmowers and Soul, a rant by Jam

Lawnmowes can be great and they can be amazingly crap. Don't get me wrong they are very useful and some of them are awesome, like the self propelled ones and the cool ride on ones but these are extremely expensive. I used to own a old Honda 2 stroke mower that lasted 25 years!The only problem with it was it was impossible to start; a fact that is not helped by the ironic tag on the fuel tank saying Honda, easy start mower. If you have ever tried to start my mower you would know it is imposible to start it without reducing your pelvis to dust.So recently I got a new one and I don't really like it. It just hasn't got the soulof the old mower. Don't get me wrong it runs brillantly, so much better than my old one, but things than run better than my old mower include, the Bin Laden hotline and the Gold Coast bus network. But ask yourself this question, when did humans decide that our frontyard fields have to be trimmed? Why do we mow, really it is stupid!

And now some Germans have made it even stupider! They have created a mower that weighs 100 tonnes and trims your entrire acearge in 2 seconds it costs 1.9 million euros and is as useless as a turd.

The Verdict:  If you want a mower buy a 25 year old one that cannot start.

Changes around here... and a heads up

Imagine this hitting you. That what it was like for me. Just no pain.
Y'know, I was looking at the blog today when BOOM a missile hit me. Not a real missile of course. The "missile" part was just an abstract way of saying "big" which in turn can also mean "huge". This huge thing that hit me was confirmed by my good friend Carl, Jam and K (not at the same time of course). The back ground looks bland. Like, stripey kind of bland. I mean, it's just some template made by some person who was really bored or had a high paying job. Great. This means that over the weekend (I've got homework like all smart people C;) the blog will be recieving a makeover along with a whole fist full of posts. Not just a hand, a fist. Of course the posts aren't certain to come (mine are as usual :p) but hey, everyone needs a life right?

Why I don't like Twilight.

As you may have noticed my co-bloggers have been posting a lot lately about Twilight, a global phenomanon. They say that it is surprisingly good and fun to watch, I... disagree.
The problem I have with Twilight is that it dwells to much in emotion that is dull and sometimes amazingly cheesy. The storyline is the only thing that is OK but that as well is cheesy and watching it is like drowning in wallpaper paste. But those are the movies and now I move on to the book.

The writing in the book is brillant, it is very good it is the only thing in the series I like. Unfortunaley Meyer wastes her awesome writing on vampire romance stories, but still somehow she has made millions of dollars and sparked a vampire craze around the world: Vampire Diries, Pure Blood, Vampires Suck they are all clinging to the tower of the vampire that is twilight, moving on imagine if Meyer used her writing in more useful places that are exciting and un-cheesy she would be a zillionaire. So if you are reading this humble blog Stephenie I hope you take my advice into account.
