His death certainly ruined my day, and countless others. While lining up for my iPhone at 7am I heard the devostating news of MJ dieing.. I thought who’s MJ (Blonde moment).. After googling I found out what had happened to Michael Jackson. I tried putting it to the back of my mind as I knew I’d have a bad day if I thought about it.. Then I came home and it got my thinking. I thought about all of the accusations made against him. I thought about the Jackson 5. I thought about his song Man in the Mirror… After speaking to my mum about her memories of the famous Jackson I decided to read his autobiography. I could not find it, so I turned to Wikipedia. Alot of people predict Wikipedia’s information to be inaccurate  but I find it most useful!

All of this new information was rushing into my mind. I heard and understood the term ‘moon walk’, I learnt about Lisa Presley, I even read about his relationship with his father. Some of the things shocked me, and I couldn’t help but think after watching several music videos.. Is this the end of the 80′s Pop? Has it finished? Will it ever be brought back into ‘fashion’? I continued reading his wikipedia page and saw that he knew he was going to die (Like everyone, duh) so to set his children up for life he recorded 100 songs in his library which have yet to be published! I was happy to read this as I knew his life was nowhere near over, and I was also happy to find that his children would still be able to live the life they were brought up around.

I felt kind of depressed after finding out the cause of death, but I thought, this is only One chapter of Michael Jacksons life. This is his first book published. This is the old testimate in his bible.. The new testimate.. Well.. That all has to do with thse new 100 songs and the life of his children. Will they be the new ‘Jackson 5′? Will they have their fathers talents? I am now looking at this day as a celebration. A sad celebration, yes. But it is a day which will go down in history.

Boo! I see you hiding behind your computer screen. Well, actually I don’t. Random. Anyway, as most of you following my twitter(@iCarluccio) you’d know that I’ve had essays due, exams and I bought the Sims 3 the other day, so I’ve had no time to update my Flickr! To be honest, the main contributer to this has been the failing of my Hard Drive. I am slowly slowly re-peicing everything and my HD is coming back to it’s original shape. The main thing slowing me down is mozy.com (The backup company I had my data stored with). Their download speeds are 46kbs per second. I didn’t make a type, I’m serious. 46kbps. *Dies* Here are some photos that I’ve taken from my Flickr Library. They’re a collaboration of photos from last month and June. To be really honest I’ve taken no more than 100 photos in June. I have been put off by the HD death. I cannot stop saying to the people I meet ‘Backup’. It is worth it!! 

Here are the photos!

Papers from Years ago!

Im sure you can tell, that nothing has changed since I’ve been away from wordpress. I still cannot get the photos to emerge properly! Sorry

Good evening everyone! It’s been a while since my last post but here I am to say ‘PikkaBoo’

I am not at the required age to drive a car according to the Australian law, but I still need to get around Perth! My only way to do this is using public transport like many others. I often find my self at home, bored and thirsty so I’ll take a look at the Bus schedule on my iPhone (We’ll get to that later) and run down to the bus station. I hop on with my Smart Rider (We’ll get to that later as well) and off I go.

Smart Rider:

Do you find your self having to lug around heaps of change when needing to get from one place to another when using public transport? I did, so I learnt about the Smart Rider. The smart rider is a card which is the same size as a debit card and it works just like a debit card. Accept.. It only works with public transport, after you add money to the card. So, when the money runs out on your card you can’t keep spending the money. To use the smart rider, you simply need to swipe the card in front of a scanner and it starts your trip. When you reach your destination you ‘Tag off’ (Swipe the card again) and it calculates the amount of stops you’ve past. It then takes money off of the card.

Le Schedueles

When I’m in a hurry I rarely check the bus schedules I just run down to it, but when I do have time to organize myself I check the schedueles for public transport. To go onto the Transperth website (The Western Australian bus company) is a hassel. For noobs like me you won’t be able to understand the scheduele. I used to call them, which is also annoying because of the waiting period due to the amount of people needing to call, but then I got iPhone. On iPhone there are 2 applications that I use which were downloaded from the App store. The 2 I use are called ‘MetroPerth’ (there is also MetroMelbourne, sydney etc etc) and iTT perth. These tools are both very handy as they give you accurate bus times! ‘Metro’ is a really horrible app. It simply crashes when searching for a bus, train or fairy. So, I turned to iTT perth. 

Hassels

I think public transport is average. I really do dislike it and here is my place to vent.

1: The people: Some of the people who ride on public transport freak me out. You get druggies, thiefs, graffiti artists etc etc on the bus, and when someone who you think Isn’t the safest of all people sits next to you, you tend to get a little bit worried. I guess that’s why they call it ‘Public’

2: The Graffiti: The idots that graffiti the buss’ and trains deserve to be punched. They are also called Gaffidiots. They ‘tag’ their name on the windows, seats, roofs ect. Where there is a blank space, they will tag.

3: The loud teenagers: I am a teenager, but I am not like most teenagers. I tend to be more civilized. On the buss they swear, yell, have their headphones on full ball, knock your arm and don’t say ‘sorry’ or ‘excuse me’ and the one that annoys me the most is that they point and laugh if your ‘different’ (Disabled)

So guys, there you have it.. My summary on Public Transport. All I can say, is that I wish there were cars appropriate for young teens, so we don’t have to put up with the other peoples crap!
