Girl's Generation Beat Justin Bieber, One Direction, Lady Gaga

The first ever YouTube Music Award was hosted by YouTube, which the winners were determined by the fans by the power of likes and sharing on YouTube. The video of the year award went to Korea's national favorite, Girl's Generation, thus upsetting the American horde of Beliebers, Directioners, and Monsters. It's a bit sad at how ignorant Americans are to different cultures by calling others a nobody just because they don't know who they are. Even other nations know who American artists are and not only just the most popular ones either and yet Americans have no clue who is big outside of their nation. But putting everything aside, Bieber has about 40 million followers on Twitter which is almost the entire population of South Korea of 50 million people so you can see how much KPop is relevant to the rest of the world outside of Korea. Are KPop fans as crazy as Bieliber fans? Absolutely and in some cases even worse such as for EXO, but their fans are dedicated to their idols as shown by their landslide victory over America's big 3. Even if they had combined the big 3's votes, their total still would not have beaten Girl's Generation so kudos to Psy and Girl's Generation for representing the outside world. As for the award show, it was a disappointment and not well planned out so maybe they can learn from their mistake and make a better show next year.



Haters to the right

Skydiving vs Base Jumping vs Bungee Jumping

An acquaintance was asking for some thrill ideas before he went back into the workforce so we had a discussion on what would be considered thrilling. He has gone skydiving before so that was out of the picture and other ideas of mine were out because of the price tag or danger which includes paragliding because you need training and your own equipment, flyboarding because instruction and rental costs were expensive, and canyon swinging because it's been banned since people saw the cool clip on YouTube and decided to test the thrill out but failed to make the correct calculations in the rope line and swung to their deaths so dying was out of the picture. But what is scary and what is thrilling?

Skydiving to me is thrilling but not very scary because you're in tandem with a pro that does all the work and calculations and you're just attached at their crotch for the ride. The pro handles everything and hits the safety precautions for you so you don't have to worry about a thing but to enjoy the ride unless of course you're like that old lady that was slipping out of the harness. The real scare is when you're flying solo where the control is in your hands but you can't do that until you have a few tandem jumps under your belt and your own equipment which is costly. Due to the distance of your fall, there is time to think and figure out a solution in case something goes wrong like when your first chute fails, there's your back up chute and so forth which is why there's not much deaths. A good number of skydivers say that because of the control of the pros, skydiving is not scary and after flying solo after you gain the control the thrill of the scare also goes away. They also said they would never try bungee jumping as a result because of the lack of control makes it too scary.

Base Jumping is more scary because the distance of your fall is less so you have less time to react if something was to go wrong. There is also no such thing as tandem base jumping either so you're on your own which is why novice jumpers are not allowed to try the sport. Well technically you can if you have the equipment but of course doing so would be at your own risk. Base jumping sounds really fun especially if you sport the squirrel suit, but not so much if you fly into a tree or something. Of course there's always the risk of your chute not opening which would result in severe injuries or death. The other risk is because of the distance, the height to pull your chute and the impact of your landing is much more crucial as this guy learned in this very graphic video.

Base Jumping
Bungee jumping is the scariest thing to skydivers because so many things can go wrong in the short amount of time and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it but to plunge head first to your death but at least it would be instant and over with in a split second when you realize something is wrong. Like base jumping, there's no one to hold your hand and there's no safety net or chute in case something goes wrong like the rope or ratchet breaking or colliding into the surrounding or getting tangled into the line. I would think the highest yet safest bungee jump in the world is the one at Macau Tower because even though it is the highest, they add in extra lines and contraptions to ensure safety which in a sense takes the scariness out of it. You have your usual bungee line then you have a safety line that keeps you in control from running into the building itself but also slows down your fall towards the end.
Bungee Jumping
Regardless of which sport you go to for thrills, if something goes wrong then it goes horribly wrong. You only live once right? Carpe Diem or YOLO for idiots.

Jason Chen

I've been up to a lot of things lately so I haven't been posting on any blogs.  I am currently brainstorming up a few ideas that I want to make a project out of it but haven't had the time to pursue so I don't see things happening any time soon.  I have been using my spare time to catch up on YouTube channels specifically in comedy and music.  I am really liking Jason Chen and he's not bad on the eyes either.  He's such a cutie like Kim Bum and boy can the boy sing plus he is from the 626 so maybe I can stalk him kekeke just kidding of course!  Or not.  ;D

Greyson Chance Wows America While Justin Bieber Walks Into A Door

Who is Greyson Chance?  He's a 6th grader with a much deeper voice than Justin Bieber and is actually musically talented in terms of singing and creating music with his own two hands.  Greyson started learning piano 3 years ago and was a nobody until a month ago when he decided to post his performance from his school's talent show recital onto YouTube.  Once the pressed the first note on the piano and started to sing Lady Gaga's Paparazzi hit song, the crowd sat there in amazement and even some were brought to tears.  Let's just say, he was now the most popular boy at school and getting girl's digits were no longer an issue.  It has only been a month and his video is almost up to 40 million views!  He also posted other songs that he wrote himself which holds a beautiful story.  The word of Greyson has swept the nation and he was even invited to be a guest on the Ellen show.  He seems like a nice kid that's not trying to act cool like a certain someone but too bad he sports the Bieber bob hairdo and the hair flicking makes him look pretty retarded.  He just may be the new kid hit artist and will dethrone Bieber because he's such an ungrateful kid.

In other news, Justin Bieber pushes the rotating glass door like a little girl.  I mean seriously, what kind of a teen does that with their butts sticking out as if the door is really that hard to push especially when you're not the only one pushing the door?  Apparently using a rotating door is too complicated for Justin because he prematurely exited the door before the opened path was revealed and ended up bumping his head into the glass barrier.  Who exits head first anyways?  Unfortunately for him, the whole stint was caught on camera and you could see his reaction when he saw the camera.  Being the attention whore that he is, he goes over to the cameraman and tries to explain himself but his attempt at being funny or cool was an utter failure.   He even tweeted later on how his head still hurts in an attempt to get sympathy from his horde of female fans.

My Laptop Is So Slow

My laptop is starting to annoy me now.  It's been acting up especially after I updated my Firefox because there was an update.  I updated and soon after everytime I cleared my cache and cookies, I get the blue screen of death!  Grrrr!  Just when I was starting to enjoy using Firefox too so now I'm stuck with Explorer again.  Bleh~  The thing that really annoyed me about Firefox was the fact that flash wasn't working for me so I couldn't watch YouTube videos or go to certain flash sites.  I need a new laptop period.  How much do you think a kidney goes for on the black market?

WHAT TEH EFF!?
