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!

Hey readers! I really hope you are all doing well! I have been a very busy little bee! Between studying to socializing, my life has been busy. I have actually been so busy that I have had no time to Twitter! My tweets have been reduced to 5-8 a day.. I know it sounds like a lot, but my life is quite interesting!
These past 2 weeks I have been given 4 assignments. 1 is on History, 1 is on Religion, 1 is on Science and the last one is for my media class. Fun fun fun

I’m sorry for my lack of updating my blog, and I hope that I don’t loose any readers!

Good day world!

Many people may think that if you write a story or a poem your a geek. Some ‘bully’ type people think that if you write poems or stories your a ‘pussy’. But I believe that everyone is equal and that everyone has a beautiful heart! I have always had a passion for writing and reading. I was the 1st boy in year 1 to read a full novel. Ever since then I have always been in the extension classes, as reading and writing are two of my favourite things! Poems are very strong. They often express your emotions, and to do that with a pen and a piece of paper it means you are a very strong person. Poems are very sweet but they can also be very sour. Back in 2005 a man used a poem as a death threat.:

Antonio Batista wrote the poem about Pat Saito, a Ward 9 Mississauga councillor, after he received a property tax bill in 2005 meant for a developer and had trouble sorting out the problem. The poem includes the following passage: “We are going to dig a pothole about six feet long and three feet wide and five feet deep to hide her body and God will take care of Her Soul, but We cannot forgive her for doing nothing.” — Taken from thestar.com

Poems also come in a number of different forms! Just to name a few… Haiku poem, Cinquain poem, and the commonly known Acrostic!

I have written a number of Cinquain poems, but my favourite is one I wrote about the colour Orange. (Colour is spelt right!! In Australia that’s how it’s spelt!) I have actually left my book at school, so when I go there tomorrow I’ll be sure to collect it and type it up!

So this evening while reading the bids on an item I posted for sale, I heard a big bang. Then, my lights went off. Then my Hard drive stopped spinning, then the alarm started beeping. I’ve used then too many times purposely to add an affect for those of you who haven’t caught on! lolerskates I have been without power for 2 hours, and it has made me realize how dependent we are on electricity! I have no access to my photo’s, music or video as my external drive is powered by electricity. It is annoying, as I have very few candles. And I only have 1 torch which is the family torch. For the past couple of hours I’ve been walking around with my Macbook pro, acting as a torch. If your ever stuck on torches an awesome thing to use is a DSLR camera (The shooting flash is an awesome light), an iPhone (The screen size is handy) and a Laptop. That’s what I’ve been using But, they’re all powered by electricity so that lead me to wonder. What would we do without power?! I mean, we’d be uncivilized!? Maybe not so much now (As we have Solar power) but 20 years ago they’d had nothing. Electricity or candles. it’s sad huh? Have you got any horror stories about power faults? Or, do you have a story to share, OR.. Do you have any words of wisdom? Right now, I’d like to thank Steve Jobs for making awesomely long batteries in Macbook Pro’s! Thanks Steve *Send email* =D
