Olympic Opening Ceremony 2012

There has been many amazing Olympic opening ceremony's ever since the Olympics started many, many years ago. The Beijing opening ceremony being the most reason was absolutely mind blowing. There where over 5000 performers and a lot of fireworks. Although the most memorable part for me is the little girl who won everyone's heart when singing at the ceremony and it was later found out that she was just mouthing and the girl that actually sang the song apparently wasn't pretty enough to perform at the Olympic opening ceremony I thought that it was a horrible thing to do. If I was that girl I would be really disappointed and wouldn't bother singing the song in the ceremony what so ever.  

People have very high hopes for the London Olympic opening ceremony and a ridiculous amount of money  which has been estimated to be around 27 million has been spent getting it perfect and trying to make it the best one yet. There's even been rumours that we're making fake clouds to rain in to the stadium, like we don't get enough rain already they probably won't need to use fake ones. The stadium it's self will hold 80,000 people which is a lot of screaming fans for the athletes. The director of the ceremony is Danny Boyle has put in many artistic performances to showcase the best that Britain's got. Everyone's eyes will be on London so we better make it worth watching.

Becoming A YouTube Sensation

I'm not the most confident person so I don't think I'd ever be able to gain the confidence to take videos of myself and put them on YouTube but there are a lot of people that do. With YouTube, you can basically become a web celebrity overnight if people like what your doing. I love watching YouTubers messing around  and doing crazy parody's that everybody loves even if they don't admit to it. If your trying to become a 'YouTube Sensation' then I would say that the best advice I can give you is to be as funny as you can. 

YouTubers like DaveDays and Twisted Tim have so many subscribers and video views because there so funny and are genuinely really good singers. They sometimes change the words to make a song more about them which I find hilarious. A lot of people also take videos of them playing a game, trying to show other people how to do a certain thing on the game. These videos tend to get a lot of views because so many people are in to gaming and want to learn how they can be the best. Ever heard of Fred? He started making videos when he was pretty young and is still doing it. His videos are so ridiculous that it's funny. He changes his voice to a really high pitched squeaky one that just makes the videos that so much more funny. A lot of people just re-upload videos from other artists, this can also get you a lot of views if it's a popular song and manages to get on the first page of the results. So yeah, if you want to be recognised as being a YouTuber and getting millions of views and subscribers just be funny.

I hope this post helped you or made you more aware.. feel free to Tweet or +1 this post or leave a comment. 

5 Things An Ipod Touch 4G Is Good At

(Guest post by WRYM)




-Music A bit obvious i know but some music device have very low battery power and the ipod touch has good battery power, in return allowing you to listen to music for an extended time.  


-Games The ipod touch is extremely good for gaming, and with a wide variety of choices on the App store you can never get bored, however i dont see any portable devices over taking consoles or PC gaming. 


-Internet The ipods web browsing qulity brings a whole new look to browsing the web, with google apps and your favourite social media apps you are never more than a click away from connecting online (unless your not near a WiFi hotspot of course)



-Camera The camera that comes with the ipod is one of the best cameras i have seen, although if the lighting is slightely dimmed you may have some pixelisation on your hands. 


Last but not least the OS (operating system) The os on the ipod is lovely, it works so smooth with your fingers . Apple have really done a good job with all their touch devices and can't wait to see whats install next!!!


About a year ago I (ExtraordinaryGurl) purchased this ipod and haven't looked back since, I absolutely love it and don't regret buying one, one little bit. If you haven't already I seriously suggest that you invest in buying one because of the wide range of purposes they for-fill.

Why Is Updating Important?

I think that updating everything in general is very important. I hate to be about 90 like my grand-dad and not have a clue what to do and how to work the technology that's current at the time. Most of the older generation are terrified by technology the main reason is because they haven't been updating their technology,   times running away from them, just like the modern world.

 My grandparents phones look like bricks and are some of the oldest phones out there, well in my eyes anyway. They can't even text and only use it to answer calls because doing anything else is to complicated. Even my mum and dad can't work computers or laptops properly, they both get flustered and think that there going to break it, where as now nearly every student learns how to use them at school and find it easy to do things that would confuse most adults even though it seems so simple to us because we've grown up with it. Technology isn't the only thing that you should keep updated it's also things like fashion, music, attitudes and ideas. Yes, it's fine to still love all the old things but there's a certain extent where the younger generation will look down on you for being 'different' and say things like 'oh that's old' which in my eyes it's wrong but still happens in the modern day world. Business's like Apple, Microsoft and Firefox are always updating their software and products to make sure that they sell and people don't get bored of the same old gadgets.

Google Has Been Fined £15,700

Ever tried to find your house on Google Maps? Well apparently Google hacked in to street camera's to gain the images in the first place, while also sending streets cars round with camera's that managed to catch emails and passwords. Many times Google has been accused of delaying investigations by not reply and giving out the information asked for by The Federal Communications Commission. They said that Google 'deliberately impeded and delayed' apparently they did this for months on end. According to the FCC the leader of Google didn't respond to requests for documents and information. This all started because in 2010 Google said that their street view cars had managed to pick up insecure wi-fi data.


The FCC still say that they have many unanswered questions about Google Maps. The unnamed engineer that came up with the codes for Google Maps used the Fifth Amendment rights against incriminating himself so that he didn't have to testify. I personally think that the FCC have just misunderstood Google but I also think that Google should stop delaying and try and prove their innocence, don't you think? Leave and comments or views that you might have.


I've seen a Google Maps car aswell have a look http://zoe-extraordinarygurl-photography.blogspot.co.uk/

Why Do Footballers Get Paid So Much?

I think it's a disgrace that footballers get paid so much more than people who are  either fighting for us or save our lives. In my opinion doctors, police, the ambulance service, fire fighters and all corners of the army should get paid a lot more than people who only play football on the television. How many times have you been to see your doctor or to the hospital in your life? For post people it's more than you'd like to realize, but what if all those people where not there to help us when something's wrong? Just having check ups could save your life because they could catch something early. How many people would wrongly loose their lives because there wasn't anyone there to help them. Ever been caught in a fire? I bet if you have then you basically ow your life to the fire fighters that saved you, what have footballers ever done for you except be there for a bit of entertainment or for a sneaky bet. Don't get me wrong I don't think there's anything wrong with football or any sport for that matter I just don't think they should get paid more than people who save lives. There's so much money tied up in football that could be spent doing something so much better. Most players get millions a year for being exceptionally good at what they do but their not really doing much if you think about it.

 Most players play around 2 matches a week and the rest of the time their in their massive houses, training or in luxury hotels when they really don't do that much considering what some people do. Yes, they may be amazing at football and maybe should get paid a big amount but it's got to a stage that's just to much. You don't even need that much money, what do they do with it? I think people that serve our country deserve a lot more than they're getting at the moment considering that it can take over your life. For example I'd rather give my money to a charity that makes lives better or saves them rather than to a charity that buys football goals. Football may keep young adolescents of the streets and maybe stop them from causing trouble but their just doing it for fun their not getting paid a ridiculous amount of money for doing so. Do you agree that it's got to a level that it shouldn't have? Feel free to leave a comment and express your views.

Can Songs Really Get Old?

In my opinion if a songs genuinely great then it can never get to 'old'. To be honest I prefer to listen to older songs rather than new because they have more of a story and are full of heart and soul where as most music now-a-days is all done on a computer and uses no real raw talent, although I do have a few exceptions. I love to break down songs, think about the beats and the instruments used it gives you a kind of pride. I also love really listening to the lyrics and trying to figure out the story behind them. I love artists like Bon Jovi and Bob Marley, I also really love rock bands. I absolutely adore Angel by Shaggy, such a great song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWJrPzAUzAs) you should have a listen if you somehow haven't already.

 So yeah I may be pretty young but I still mainly prefer songs that where made before I was even born, think it's weird? I listen the the types of music that I like to listen to, I honestly don't care what my friends listen to I'm not going to repeatedly play a song just because it's 'new' or the 'next big thing' or just before other people are. I'll listen to all the old songs that |I want to and no-one can stop me. Think of your 'favourite song' is it really that great? Is it even music?
