Hey guys,
This is the second part of three about last weekend. Enjoy
Day Two-Saturday
Ok, So I wake up and it's 7:00 a full hour before breakfast, so I want and got a shower, got dressed, and just chatted to the roommates. So breakfast comes along, I have this mini box of frosties and so on, I'll just cut to the highlights. So we did the High Ropes, which is a massive climbing apparatus that you have to where a harness. I did the leap of faith, in which I jumped 4 and 1/2 feet from standing while 30 feet in the air, BRILLIANT! After that, I did the gladiator with someone else, it was basically a vertical obstacle course.
After the high ropes we did more world records, How fast can you eat a muffin with you hands tied behind you back was the main one we did. As well, in pairs, How quickly could you peal and eat an orange? I won both of those, with the help of Ollie for the orange.
After that, we went into the woods to do some Bushcraft, in which we made shelters and learned how to start a fire.
After that, it started to rain HEAVYILY FOR 2 HOURS!
When the rain finished we had a large bonfire, I can tell that roasted pineapple and marshmallows' ARE DELICIOUS, trust me.
That's all for now

Pineapples, Pineapples, PINEAPPLES
20:54-Tuesday 28th June 2016
Hey guys,
Tomorrow I will post about last Saturday, because I have English work that's due tomorrow and I got to get to work. So I'll tell you about today. Quickly.
Ok So I spent a good our painting large Pineapple sculptures, I paint them yellow and then leaving them to dry. After that, I use spray cans for the leaves and to add some orange to make them a bit more realistic.
Later I went to fencing, and I did my Grade 5 and passed! This means I am grade 5 in foil (type of sword). This is good.
Ok Work to do,

The Last Three Days: Surprises, Running, World Records, Talking, Carroty Wood and then some Part One
19:43-Monday 27th June 2016
Hey guys,
Now, when I last posted I thought I would DEFINITELY by posting the next day. However, the plan changed when I got home on Friday...
"Daniel, there's a free spot to go to Carroty Wood with your church group, do you want to go?".
My first impression is COMPLETELY SHOCKED. I mean, I didn't even know my church group was going to Carroty Wood. My first response was to say
"I can't, I've got a lot of work to do".
I thought that was the end to it, but no it wasn't. Mum asked my two more times, both times was met with the same response from earlier. However, 5 mins later, I am watching The Musketeers when mum shouts down the stairs
"Ollie ********* is going. Jane said she would take you and she hasn't left yet. Are you SURE you don't want to go?".
"MUM!"
But then my mind started to get curious, so I go upstairs and ask mum
" When would I get back because I am doing a talk on Sunday at Y"
"You'll be back before then"
So I said I would go, and I got packing. I packed everything in a green camping bag and 30 minute later, Jane turns up, I put my bags in her car, say goodbye to mum, jump in the car and off we go.
So to get to Tonbridge (That is where Carroty Wood is) me and Ollie were human sat nav's since Jane's was broken. After about 45 mins we arrive at Carroty Wood, however, we don't know which lodge we are staying in. So me and Ollie get out to do some investigating after the first lodge we found wasn't the one we wanted, we started to walk back to the car. But as we got close Jane started to DRIVE AWAY, of course it was a joke, but me and Ollie stayed outside the car while we looked for the lodge.
So when we finally found it, we dropped off our bags and then we had a kick around with the other guys there. We had dinner and then we attempted at some world records: How many Smarties can you eat in 3 minutes WITH CHOPSTICKS and The biggest tower made from matchsticks in 2 minutes. After that It was bed.
Ok Tomorrow I will post about what happened on Saturday
That's all for now

Day One-Friday
So, I walk in the front door after school. I put down my bags and go upstairs to say hello to mum. But when I get upstairs before I say anything, she says to me"Daniel, there's a free spot to go to Carroty Wood with your church group, do you want to go?".

Hey guys,
Today has been a massive cluster f***. Sorry for swearing, but it has been. I'm not going to get into it because I don't think I can handle it.
Two things
1) The EU Referendum is today, today could go down in history. But like I said, I am really in a down mood, so I don't feel like I can talk about it.
2) I have decided to put ad revenue on the blog. I am doing this now, because as I get older, there are things I want and if I am getting money from something I enjoy doing then that's brilliant! So yeah, that should be going up today. Please if you have Ad Blocker, could you disable for this site. I get that ads are annoying, I have Ad Blocker myself! But I would really appreciate it if you would disable it for this site, Thanks Guys.

I've found my five Artists
15:42-Wednesday 22nd June 2016
Before I start, You'll be getting another post later today about Game Lab, so that two posts in one day!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys,
Remember a few posts back when I talked about having to find artists for my Art GCSE, well, after searching the far reaches of the internet (Pinterest) I have found my five artists. With some it is because of a singular piece that have done, with others it's because of their style of work.
Damien Hirst
This piece is why I chose Damien Hirst as one of my artists. This piece is not of him but is of what he is passionate about. I think that this represents my passionate side.
Thomas Hawk
This is one of many photographs that Thomas Hawk took during a Holi Festival in India. I like it because I think I represents my Bubbling, Optimistic part of my personality.
Russ Mills
I like the style that Russ Mills does, in a majority of his portraits, you would see a very good face bit the rest of the person is made from explosions and smears. I think that this represents my chaotic (but in a good way) Style.
Jason Mecier
I chose Jason Mecier because of the 3-d Mosaics he does. He'll reconstruct a face with "Junk" but the items he uses have a significance to the person he is creating. I believe this reflects the uniquely complex side of me.
Barbra Kruger
This piece by Barbra Kruger did is why I chose her. I was looking for an artist that had done something with smashed mirrors. This is because I have a side of me that I hate, when I am a monster. I think that this piece represents this side of me exactly.
That's all for now,

Free Running
15:30-Tuesday 21st June 2016
Hey guys,
Lately, I've been watching YOGSCAST Hannah (YouTuber)play through a game called Mirror's Edge and recently she has started the sequel Mirror's Edge Catalyst. In these games you play as the protagonist called Faith, and she is a runner, she free runs across the city's rooftops doing jobs. I'm not sure what she actually does for these jobs but I know that she gets around by jumping, wall-running, rolling and climbing. I absolutely love these games because of the whole feeling of freedom that they give, because that is what free running is about: the freedom to make you own route, it's your choice where to go and how to get there.
Now, yesterday I watched a video by another YouTuber. His name is Mathew Patrick, his audience call him MatPat and he runs a successful web-series called Game Theory. I've mentioned him before on the blog. A few weeks back he started releasing a new show called Game Lab. He made in partnership with the YouTube Red program.
If you don't know what it is, then I can kind of explain it, but it might be worth reading up on if you interested. Now YouTube Red is a service were you pay a monthly subscription fee and in return you can save videos offline, ad-free videos and have access to exclusive videos made by YouTube Creators. On the creator side of it there are some good things. They would produce new videos that is based around stuff they do which are different from the rest of them. Now, these videos can have financial backing by YouTube. MatPat has used this backing to the full extent, in one episode of Game Lab, they rented a castle!
I don't have YouTube Red, but MatPat has released the first episode of Game Lab for free. This was probably because it's to give viewers a taste of what the show is like. Now the concept of Game Lab is to put game situations into real life. I know that some of the games that they have done include: 'Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes', 'Metal Gear Solid V' and 'Rocket League'. Now I really want to talk about this in more detail, so that will be in tomorrow's post in order not to mak this one any longer.
The free Game Lab episode is based on the free-running from Mirror's Edge. I watched this video and saw that what faith could do in the game is actually possible in real life. I think that is amazing, that some people have these amazing skills.
Now I want to learn how to free run. I know nothing except, how to do a safety roll (A roll that you do when you land to spread the impact force.)
I'll talk about Game Lab more tomorrow.
That's All For Now

Watching the game
21:21-Monday 20th June 2016
Hey guys,
Right now it is the last England game of the group stages of the Euro's. It is England vs. Slovakia. It is 0-0. The English team is making silly, little, amateur mistakes. It is 69 mins into the game.
Ok, if you don't know what will happen if we win, draw or lose. Then I will explain.
Right now, we are at the top of our group with Wales in second, Slovakia is in third and Russia is bringing up the rear. Now no matter what happens in our game, we will go through to the knock-outs. But if we win we will get an easier match in the knock-outs because we will end up at the top. If we draw then we will end up second and have a harder match in the knock-outs. And if we lose then we will end up second and get a harder match in knock-outs.
I am going to go back to watching the game now

Nacho's and Football
10:13-Thursday 16th June 2016
Hey guys,
Before I start, I know that we have passed 2250 views, which is good! But I am currently in school (having some free-time because I have completed all my work) so I will post the blog tonight, (I am prepared).
Now, Tuesday and Wednesday, nothing much happened, yesterday, we did go to fowlmead, but like I said nothing much happened.
But today, stuff is happening. My mates are in a different form, so they go to collage on Thursday. Over the course of the year, they having being doing different units that are meant to emulate different collage courses. In the last few weeks, they have being doing the enterprise unit, and today, their are making and selling a product. It's Nachos. Of course, being a mate, I have put an order in for some Nachos. I am getting nachos with melted cheese on top, bits of frankfurter and with two dips of my choice, they are salsa and ketchup. But the best part is yet to come.
Today, if you've watched the news or are a football fan, then you would know today is the England Vs. Wales match! However, it is on during school time, nevertheless, we are allowed to watch it when it is on. As well, my mates who go to collage, they are coming back in time to watch it, SO, that means I can watch the England game WHILE having some melted cheese covered nacho's!

One of the best TV endings and my brother is away.
22:06-Monday 13th June 2016
Hey guys,
I have to make this quick since I am on borrowed time.
Basically, today I watched the finale of Life On Mars. It was a brilliant TV series made by the BBC, and it's ending is AMAZING. I won't spil it for anyone, but I will give you the basis of the show. John Simms plays Sam Tyler, a policeman in the current day (it was filmed in 2006). He is involved in an accident which puts him in coma, but he wakes up in 1973! We're not sure whether he's asleep, mad or a time traveller.
So that's the basis of it. I would totally recommend the series, I think their was an American remake as well, but I've never watched it. As well, the ending was voted first in the top 50 TV endings. I don't remember all of them but I do know that 'Only Fools and Horses' was second.
Before I go, I found out today, that Adam (My oldest brother) is on, and has been there a while, AN ISLAND OF THE COAST OF AFRICA!!!!! I mean, bloody hell, no-one in my family tells me anything!
That's All For Now

In search of artists
21:44-Sunday 12th June 2016
Hey guys,
Today was pretty standard, so nothing new there. However, today I am going to briefly talk about my Art GCSE and what I need to do.
Ok, so I have started the 'Portraitare' section of the course. For the first part I need to find, investigate and make a direct response to 5 different artists who have done portraitare; I am given a list of artists to choose from or I can find my own. The problem is I have taken a look at the list and I don't like the look of the artists, It's just I am looking for someone who is unconvential, someone who's work is different from the standered self portrait.
As well, when i say a direct response, I mean I basically imitate one of the pieces but change it so it is about me. For example, I take an Andy Warhol piece and copy it but instead of Andy's face, I put my own face in it.
As I was saying, I am looking for an artist that does things differently, mainly because I just don't really like the style or look of them, I just can't imagine myself in that style, if you know what I mean.
That's really all for now

Assassin's Creed Chronicles China IS AMAZING
23:51-Saturday 11th June 2016
Hey guys,
Today I spent about 4 hours playing one game, that game is Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China. Now usually I wouldn't spend 4 straight hours playing a game, I would take a break. However, this game is different. The music is beautiful, the artwork and the graphics are amazing, and on top of that the gameplay is addictive, I just couldn't get enough of it. I recorded it as well for my YouTube channel, so I will let you know when that's up. But I have done other games before on my channel. So check them out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV3xFHY1iOfZhI7fBq_MmqA

Sorry about the swearing, but today has been utterly shit. School was alright, bearable. But I have spent the last SEVEN hours trying to fix my computer, It just won;t let me connect to the internet. I am currently writing this on my sisters laptop. But I have looked through 6 different forums, 10 YouTube videos, and none of them has fixed my problem! I can't connect to the internet with MY homes Router, when I was at my aunt's it worked fine! But No when it's here, IN MY OWN FUCKING HOUSE! It doesn't work, I run the troubleshooter to be told that I am missing one or more network protocols. This is stopping my from connecting to my router.
I HAVE FUCKING SPENT THE LAST SEVEN FUCKING HOURS TRYING TO FIX THIS.
Now I will be the first to say that I really depend on my Laptop, so when it breaks I get really upset, because It seems that everything I fucking care about gets fucked WITH!
Sorry, I am just extremely upset right now, and it's not because of the computer.
That's all for now
Thanks For Reading

Some exciting news!
22:00-Thursday 9th June 2016
Hey guys,
Before I start I wanted to say sorry about not posting yesterday, this laptop I am currently one is the school laptop and, well, sometimes it's fast but sometimes it is incredibly slow.
Anyway, onto my exciting news. Before I give it to you there is some context to tell you about. At my school we have three houses: Kingsgate, Botany and Walpole. I am in Walpole. Also at my school we have a point system: You can get points for being a good student and if you get the highest points out of everyone in your year, that week; then you get a certificate. HOWEVER, the points had no real reward and no incentive, as well, the houses where only used on sports day and we also get house points but they were worthless and we didn't know how to get them.
BUT! There has been a total revamp of the system, everything except the houses have been scrapped. All the points and house points have been replaced with Merit's. You can only get a maximum of 2 per lesson (This is to stop the unfairness of giving out points) and there has to be a good reason for giving the merit. As well as merits, there are also commendations available, these are for exceptional work.
Now I know what you might be thinking: "But these merits and commendations still don't have an incentive." But there is one. Each merit is worth 5p, and a commendation is worth 20p. Now, for each year in their hub/common room, there is a shop with 5 different categories of items to buy: £1, £2, £3, £4 and £5; however, as well, exclusively for the Year 11's £5 and £10 vouchers for different stores are available. You, of course, have to spend time saving up your merits ad commendations to buy something good.
As well as this, a new thing has been put in place. Now at your secondary school or whatever, you might have had something like a house captain or head boy/head girl. Well, it has been put in place that there will be a House Captain for each house, as well, they have a Vice Captain to assist them in being ambassadors for the school. AS WELL AS this there is also a sports captain and a vice-sports captain for each house. They organise competitions between the houses (sporting ones).
So that is the whole revamp process describe, oh and one more thing: the captain's can only be the Year 10' (going on Year 11's, my year).
But that is not where this ends, take a look at this picture:
THAT'S RIGHT, I was elected by to be the HOUSE CAPTAIN! I have never been a house captain. The perk of being a House Captain do include: an automatic seat on the school council, being an ambassador for the school and a awesome BADGE! There is other stuff but I am not sure what yet. Anyway, This was awesome! I am so happy. Because I never thought I'd make it to the stage of voting.
You see, I had to put my name forward for the position, the list of people where then shortlisted by the current school council, AND then that final list was given to the teachers to decide who they wanted to vote for. they had about 5 votes each, I think.
That's all for now

In it to win it!
15:50-Tuesday 7th June 2016
Hey guys,
Yesterday, I didn't post as I said, well, because I had nothing to write about. However, now I do.
Ok, so once a month I buy this magazine called 'Total Guitar'. It is a guitar magazine (shock horror), but in this month's issue, it was focused on an interview with the guitar legend that is Eddie Van Haling. So to accompany the interview with Eddie, TG were give a 'EVH Stripe' to give away! Here is a picture:
It costs about £629, it has a single humbucker pick-up and it has the iconic (and trademarked) stripe paint job.
I have no idea about the odds of winning, but I think they are stacked against me. Nevertheless, you have to in it to win it.
That's all for now,

Ill, Internetless and no posts
13:33-Monday 6th June 2016
Hey guys,
The last time I posted, It was the Wednesday when I was at my Aunt's house. However, the next day I went back home, and that's when the trouble started.
You see, that day, I fell super ill: I had a fever, a runny nose, a flemy cough. As well, my computer wasn't letting me connect to the internet, but to fix it I needed the internet! That's a paradox if I saw one.
I have to catch up on some work, so I will do a another post later.
That's All For Now

Thumbnail Hijinks!
21:25-Wednesday 1st June 2016
Hey guys,
Before I start, It is the 1st OF JUNE! Where did May go?!
Anyway, last night I was talking to some of the fellow Yognau(gh)ts (People who like the Yogscast). One of them looked at my YouTube channel (Armada TV). He said that it was a nice channel, which is good. However, he thought that some of my videos didn;t have custom thumbnails. He was mistaken, he was talking about my ReactPLUS videos, which have custom thumbnails of selected frames on the video. He said that they looked like YouTube auto thumbnails. He also suggested that I customise them a bit more. So I did.
Here is an example:
ReactPLUS-Assassin's Creed Official Trailer (Original)
ReactPLUS- Assassin's Creed Official Trailer (Updated)
So I have spent a good hour changing all of my Thumbnails so they are more customised.
That's all for now
