My favourite songs of 2010.
Image via Wikipedia2010 is coming to an end. Another year gone and what have I done? Well that's another story.
What I do know is that there are a few songs that were released this year that describe this year for me perfectly. Big songs that most people will know.
The first one is:
Eminem featuring Rhiana - Love the way you lie:
The second song is Alicia Keys - Try sleeping with a broken heart.

Do you like these songs or are there others that you prefer?

Mobile phones and how times are changing
Image via WikipediaAre mobile phones changing society?
Are they a good invention/
In many respects yes.
In an emergency, how convenient is it now to have a phone to hand. No running around looking for a phone box. Especially when you’re in the middle of nowhere. Priceless if having a mobile phone handy helps save a life.
Texting – hmmmm. Yes there are benefits, you can give your thumb a good workout!
Camera phones - very convenient for taking pictures of those little moments you wouldn’t otherwise catch.
Mp3/Radio functions- Great for when you’re travelling to and from work, small, compact and very convenient to release the boredom of the buses/trains.
Phones are updating constantly at a scary rate and it is pretty difficult to keep up to date with technology these days.

Wagner finally evicted off the X factor.
Image via WikipediaLove him or hate him. Wagner has finally been voted off The X Factor, the week before the semi finals. The delusion contestant and mentor Louis Walsh both believed Wagner was being kept in due to his talent. The truth is more likely that people who wanted to derail the X factor were voting for him. However tonight they lost there first fight.
I can see that we will have a similar story as last year though, where people who don't like the X Factor will be campaigning to try and get an alternative song to be Christmas number 1 in 2010. I welcome the idea. I like X Factor but has become too easy to predict who will be Christmas number one. Competition is always good and I will buy the better song whether it be someone from The X factor or another artist.

The snow is falling again
Image by Douglas Brown via Flickr
The snow is falling again and it doesn't seem a minute since the heavy snow we had last Winter. Hopefully this year we are better prepared for it. Some places have had about 11 inches of snow already. I can't wait for the first flakes to fall here because for me, that's when Christmas will begin. A magical time of year especially for the little ones.

Matt Cardle singing Knights in White Satin live on X Factor, week 8.
Image via WikipediaMatt Cardle singing Knights in White Satin live on X Factor, week 8.
I admittedly have never heard this song before that I know of. Matt Cardle did such a beautiful performance of this song tonight that I now feel the need to google the original version. Matt Cardle has to get through to the finals of this years X factor.
He did a similar thing to what Joe Mcelderry did to me last year, which is make me fall in love with a song I've never heard before purely because of the way they sang it.
Joe Mcelderry's version of Open arms on last years X factor gave me goosebumps and it is still one of my favourite ever performances on The X factor.

Weird alien type thing... or just a baby..
What to expect when you’re pregnant.
Anyone who has never seen a baby moving inside a pregnant lady before, well now you have.
That was pretty awesome. I’ve seen babies kicking from inside before, wanting to get out, but that’s pretty epic compared to what I’ve seen. It’s kinda like an alien trying to get out.

Peanut butter man - strange!
Warning: Peanut butter is very bad for your health.
Yes, it has come to the attention of some very important people that peanut butter is very bad for you. This however isn’t about eating peanut butter orally, but spreading it over yourself.
A man allegedly died today after smearing himself in peanut butter for sexual thrills. Some people have weird fetishes. Don’t question it, just deal with it.
I am hoping that Bo Jack Russo isn’t planning on doing a similar thing soon as it may have some very severe consequences.
The peanut butter needs to go in the bin, for health and safety reasons if nothing else.

Jon Venables Identity revealed.
Jon Venables identity revealed. Where is he? Who is he? What has he done?
Jon Venables Identity Revealed
I for one remember very clearly the news coverage and public outrage at the time that little 2 year old James Bulger was murdered back in February 1993 by two 10 year old boys. I was only ten years of age myself and although at the time didn’t know the full details of the horrific murder, I was still affected by the fact that someone of my age could kill another human being.
Now late in February 2010 Jon Venables has been put back in prison for alleged child porn allegations. With the public and James Bulgers family being kept away from the truth in order to protect Jon Venables – or whatever his current name is, public anger is stirring and slowly the media seem to be releasing a little more..... for more on this story follow this link

So to get you in the Christmas mood, if you aren’t already, I bring you a collection of Christmas music.
Various versions of the same song as people have different tastes in music. Which is your favourite version of this song?

A strange and dangerous way to celebrate Easter Sunday.
A strange and dangerous way to celebrate Easter Sunday.
Karl Pilkington: An idiot abroad, Mexico.
Whilst in Mexico he was asked to go see some fireworks.
The Mexicans basically burn things that they don’t like and say they represent Judas. However it isn’t a simple burning ceremony or whatever. People actually wear these paper mache type animals with fireworks strapped to them. They then run around the streets whilst they explode, hitting people and causing some pretty nasty injuries.

Karl Pilkington: An Idiot Abroad
Karl Pilkington: An Idiot Abroad
Karl Pilkington in An Idiot Abroad. This guy is awesome and although you probably need a dry sense of humor to laugh at him, the show in general is pretty good too.
He explores the seven wonders of the world, not knowing a lot about them, and not really understanding the point to them as such. Or at least he doesn't at first.
A must see television programme. One of Ricky Gervais's finest pieces.

Matt Cardle sings first time ever I saw your face on the X Factor 2010.
If you like this song anyway, you’ll love this.
Matt Cardle stole the X Factor live show 5 with his version of The first time ever I saw your face. The notes he reached were extraordinary, especially for a guy who’s voice broke years a go. He has the voice like a choir boy. Similar to that of James Blunt, but probably can reach higher notes.
