S Club Reunite – Missing Members, Out Of Tune and Older

/ / Leave a Comment
Reading Time: < 1 minute

After Take That reformed, it was only a matter of time before other 90’s pop bands reformed. Last Spring I went watching Steps after they reformed (see Re-Living My Youth: Steps Live). So when I heard a rumor that S Club were reforming I did a YouTube search and found this video:

It’s from an Australian TV programme called The Morning Show. The first thing I noticed was that there are several missing members. Where’s Hannah, Rachael & Jon? S Club’s reformed with only Jo, Bradley and Paul.

Next I noticed that they were out of tune; now don’t get me wrong I can’t sing but their performance reminded me of a really bad XFactor audition. Finally I noticed they are older, which is to be expected but I didn’t expect them to look that old. Their performance in the video (above) is really disappointing, especially when compared with this video of how they used to be:

I wont be re-living my youth by going to watch S Club on their “international tour.” If you are going reform, at least do it whole (have all the band members back) and do it well (be able to sing) otherwise it wont give the audience a sense of nostalgia but disappoint them and taint their memories of you.

It’s interesting that since this appearance I haven’t heard anymore about S Club reforming or their “international tour.”

A Crystal Grid

I use Crystal Grids whenever I’m doing something complicated or requiring an extra boost of power when working with crystals. Here’s a video that explains what crystal grids are and how to create one:

I’d add to the video that charging a Crystal Grid with emotions makes it much more effective. For example if you’re creating a crystal grid for happiness, take a memory of when you were last truly ecstatically happy in your mind. Feel the emotion in your heart charka then let the memory go. Visualise the happiness feeling as a golden energy in your heart charka and then direct the energy down your arm into your hand and then into your crystals.

I use a Crystal Grid to protect my home, having crystals dotted about my apartment to one central quartz cluster that’s at the centre of the grid. It connects them all, charges them all and makes sure they are doing their job. Anybody who works with crystals and hasn’t used a Crystal Grid, I’d recommend giving it a try.

I thought that I had come up with the Crystal Grid idea all on my own, but after seeing the above video whilst searching for something else on YouTube recently I realised that I hadn’t. It was obvious that I’d read about Crystal Grids in one of my many crystal books years ago and that my subconscious had saved the idea until I needed it.

Write soon,

Antony

iMac Part 1 – The Decision to Buy, Ordering & Delivery

/ / Leave a Comment
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Ever since I saw my good friend Steve’s iMac, I’ve wanted one. This desire has meant that every time I’m in Manchester, I simply had to play with iMac’s in the Apple Store.

But the thing that always stopped me from purchasing: the price. Then I sat down and worked out how much I spend on smoking and was shocked. If I stopped smoking, I could pay it off in under a year. Then my laptop started switching off the display, which I knew wouldn’t be good if I was on the elearning chat as part of my Uni course. So I ordered one online, in that funny time between Christmas and New Year.

So with it on order and me constantly checking the UPS Tracker, there was only one thing to do. Make space for it on my desk:


It seemed to take forever to arrive, probably because of bank holidays and my constant tracking due to excited anticipation, but then it did:


I haven’t done an unboxing video, but there are many apple enthusiasts that have on youtube.

So has it lived up to expectations? How’s the move from Windows to Mac been? Find out in part two!

Youtube Homophobia

/ / Leave a Comment

Over a year ago, I posted this video to Youtube:

Then about a week ago, I received an email stating I had comments on the video. I logged on and saw:

It was a reminder that homophobia still exsists in this hertrosexual world.

How would this person react if they met me face to face? Would they hide their homophobia or be verbally and physically abusive? I guess for them it would depend on the setting. I would react in the same way regardless of the setting, I would challenge their homophobia providing it was safe to do so.

My response to him: Yeah, I’m gay, and?

If I were him I would be concerned as to why he was on a video authored by a gay man? Perhaps some internalised homophobia towards himself?

Get a life! I shall be challenging this through Youtube. Not so much for me, but for any gay person that has ever experienced homophobia. If it’s not challenged, it will only continue.

Let you know how I get on with Youtube,
