Save the Planet, Lose some friends....

Yello
It seems to of been a while since I lasted posted a blog...This is simply down to me being incredibly busy and quite frankly knackered. I also have had very little to write about...except how tired and ill I was, so decided that would be boring.

I also have noticed how some people are making video blogs. Now I make this clear, they are really cool and I would make one. But there are a couple of reasons I won't be (at the moment!). The first reason is that my webcam makes it look like I am having a disco, where the DJ who set up the lights was blind and two, whereas I can talk and present stuff for hours (possibly) when I know what I'm saying...but far too often video blogs turn people on them into either hyperactive, sweet filled 5 year olds, or a depressive, with as bright an out look on life as Derby do of being crowned premiership champions.

But anyway...It's the week leading up to Christmas and the postmen and women are all getting fed up with the amount of cards being sent through peoples doors, and schools are filled with people who's pockets are brimming with cards who will forget about until January....we've all been there....

But this year, I've had a novel idea, which thousands of millions of other people probably have...E-cards. Now for the last few years, my excuses for not giving people cards have been either 1. I see you all the time 2. I'm saving the environment and the most honest of them all 3. Couldn't be arsed.

So after being hit by that familiar sense of guilt of been given a card yet and been given one, so I thought of how I could send my Christmas message to people. Youtube are offering a video e-card and this seemed the best option for me as I could either use to wind people up with daft vids or send em a music video of a song they like etc. Now it aint the most customisable thing in the world but does do the job.

Now before I get shouted at by people for being lazy and impersonal, listen. I understand it's far nicer to receive a piece of cardboard, possibly with your name spelt wrong in it, and stick it in your window.But I am so busy (yeah I've mentioned it again) people were either going to get this or nothing.

Now with the appointment of the new England manager, Fabio Capello, who apart from having some problem language wise (he's been in the country less than a day for christs sake) seems the right bloke for the job, I may try and send him a e-card with england's match against Croatia on the front and leave a little message...'Have fun with that Mr Capello'.
Anyway, Merry Christmas and all that, but should be posting again before that!
