Hairstyles, snowfall, and the Beatles' beetle

Greetings, fellow Thursdaians!! It has been a cold, but nevertheless quite sunny day here, and here is today's blog post!

so first off, as usual, is today's Topic of the Day!

Now, my hair has no real style, I just leave it in whatever form it is when I wake up (therefore it usually looks quite scruffy), but what role does the hairstyle actually play in the world? Based upon myspace surveys (which are infact, one of the least most reliable sources of information) one of the first things that people notice is someone's hair, labeled right after noticing someone's eyes (which doesn't make sense as you need to be close to a person to see their eyes), but how does that compare to true answers? When asked the question, different people gave different replies, ranging from the simple "somewhat important" to the more poetic "I don't judge a person by the hair, I judge by the heart". And also, there is no perfect hairstyle that will suit everyone, therefore you need to find your own niche and play with it, since not all people will like one single hairstyle


On This Day

1569 - First recorded lottery in England.

1949 - First recorded case of snowfall in Los Angeles, California.

And introducing Someone Else's Corner, where someone else writes a piece for my blog

kay so gimboid has been harassing me about this all week...
this is the sections know as the "guest blog" kay
its where i randomly talk about things i am really ticked off about.
today's topic -- SNOW
where is it? why is it taking so dam long to come to us canadians?
some say its global warming.. others say its just a really warm year.
i say.. I'm really sad. i love snow. snow is what makes skiing possible. blue mountain just laid off 50% of their employees this winter because of the shortage. the ski team also has no purpose. and so i'd like to end this stupid paragraph with a quote... “Sex is like snow, you never know how many inches you're going to get or how long it will last” enough said ;]

--> JESS


Interesting Fact

The beetle car on the cover of the Beatles's Abbey Road album was not meant to be there and it was only included in the picture as the owner was on vacation, and so the car could not be moved. Ironically enough, it's license plate, "LMW 281F" added to the "Paul is dead" rumours in later years

Now, it's time to say goodbye to all our company....

Uniform, name meanings, violent pornography, giant bananas and Richard Nixon

Well, it's a beautiful Tuesday afternoon here (which it shouldn't be, due to it being early January), and the world is good. Also, I've created a layout for each blog post, which I shall add into this blog.


First up is the Topic of the Day.

My school has a uniform policy. Blazer, tie, and a permanently tucked-in shirt are mandatory to be enrolled, though very few people actually stick to it. In fact, only a small number of the teachers are incredibly strict about wearing the blazer or tucking in the shirt (not counting the vice-principals), but most notice if you don't have a tie. I, however, decided to test the watchful eye of these academic figures by replacing my usual navy-blue tie with a bright red straw for an entire day. Oddly enough, despite the obvious neon-bright colour of the straw, none of my teachers (even the most watchful) appeared to notice a thing, and if they did, then they never said a word about it. One has to wonder if the uniform is as strictly kept as it is supposed to be.

Now, people have asked me regularly and repeatedly about where I got the word "Gimboid", and why I insist upon calling myself and everything I do by that name. Now, the truth about this topic is that I created the word from my imagination, and later refined it's meaning after finding it's validity in an episode of the television show Red Dwarf. The word itself is a synonym for "idiot", however, it is rarely used, allowing me to take over the word and make it into my own. Thus Gimboid Productions and The Gimboid was born!


Secondly, there is the Peculiar News, the section where I state the crazy things that happen in the world each day.

So, today in the news, a former high school basketball coach is facing 39 charges for hitting male students in the groin, showing them pornography and pouring water on his players then driving them to games in the winter with the windows rolled down. You have to ask the question, what was he hoping to achieve with the last adventure that makes it so illegal?

Also, A Montreal artist, Cesar Saez, intends to send a 985 foot long helium filled banana made of bamboo and synthetic paper over Mexico and Texas. He is going to release the $1,000,000 balloon late next year where it will drift in a low orbit some 12 to 18 miles for about a month until it disintegrates. When asked why he wanted to undertake the project, he responded: "Why? Because it's possible. Why not a banana over Texas?"


Next, we have the segment of what happened On this day in history!

1793 - Jean-Pierre Blanchard becomes the first person to fly a balloon in the United States
1905 - Russian workers storm the Winter Palace, setting off the Russian Revolution of 1905
1913 - Richard Nixon was born
1995 - Valeri Poliakov spent 366 days in orbit upon the Mir space station, breaking a record

Also, it's Official Balloon Ascension day, and Severus Snape's Birthday


And Fifthly (if that's even a word) is the Commentary on the Weather

Now, since I live in Canada, this is on the Canadian weather, so here we go!
The temperature was colder than recently today, though still much warmer than usual for this time of year. In other weather, it was still just as sunny as it has been for the past few days, with very few clouds in the sky, though by evening a large cluster were gathering on the horizon. Tomorrow looks as if it will be dry, but possibly warmer due to the cloud cover keeping the warmth inside the atmosphere overnight.


Almost finally the Review of the Week, which may be changed to a different day once I get organized

Being the first review, I will do something simple, today being the Night at the Museum.
While the laughs from this film were abundent, the lack of an original plot was not appealing. A distinct lack of sympathy for the main character makes the movie lose it's touch, though the constant cameos by great actors and an interesting location did make me like it slightly more.

All in all, a 3/5


And lastly, the Interesting Fact of the day - 37 people have been killed by vending machines

Well, signing off 'til tomorrow
