Proper blog - Alex

I've only gone and done it again, whilst this time it is less of a find because it has over 2 million hits I have still discovered the best "mash up" in the whole world ever. EVER! Here's the link, get some of that in your ears, give them a treat. The smooth lyricism of Kanye over the freaky funky beats of the master of classical music. Oh my.

Because I'm far too white to talk about music for a whole blog (well music made by rappers and such) I shall change topic to something that everyone has an interest in, my future. Right now I am undecided as to what course I would like to take at university, something biology related is what I'm swaying towards simply because I am interested in biology, biology is an academically rewarding course that would demonstrate a certain level of academic achievement to my future employers and finally you'd get to do some pretty fun stuff within the course. I'm even entertaining the idea of doing a sandwich course (not the type that women should take!). However I have also given proper consideration to taking history at university because I'm better at that than I am any other subject (going on my AS results). Then again I started college with the intention of taking maths at uni, because I'm usually good at maths. Except for one exam where I got an E, that damned E cost me a whole lot of ums points. Sorry American fans, I doubt you know what ums points are. Because of that I shall move onto a third topic that I'm sure is much closer to your hearts, and it's fairly predictable but deserves its own paragraph.

Ten years ago today the horrible events that occurred across the US changed the way the modern world worked. I remember my teacher was American and he took time off, I remember burning candles in assembly and I also remember watching the news in an unparalleled state of confusion. I didn't understand why people would be so nasty. I for one don't for a second believe the conspiracy stories, nor do I fully understand the reasons the terrible attacks happened, but visiting ground zero in April was harrowing and the memorials left were both moving and powerful. It's good that American's have so much pride in the service people that paid the ultimate sacrifice and some of the storied to come out of 9/11 are nothing short of amazing. Being a Brit I'm never going to get the full range of emotions that I'm sure an American would but I do see this date as a date that will be remembered forever.

There you have some proper serious blogging, Pointon showing that he's more than just silly anecdotes and immature jokes. Now I have to go and try and bait the teenage mutant ninja turtles out from the man hole in the road outside my house.
