True. Yes I am 13 and I am pretty sure these views will fade away when I get older. I seem to ignore it though. :D

Especially not being cool because you don't wear vans.

By chance, what is that 1% chance? I'm guessing knockoffs. That is definetely true.

How's TF's holding for ya? :)

I lost interest in TF's when I was your age (right after Beast Wars), and didn't get back into it until I was 21-23... somewhere then.

Correct. That is indeed a true problem.

Oh, and further to your rant post, tell these associates of yours that the latest music is all rubbish. I cannot speak detrimentally enough of the music you kids listen to these days. And I don't say this in the way that my father/grandfather said this to me, in that the style has evolved into something those that came before consider meaningless noise (I put heavy/death metal in that category.)

Music has become a means to an end rather than the end itself. It has become nothing more than a method for the "artist" (and I use that term VERY loosely) to promote and sell their image. And their image usually involves said "artist" in a video clip acting like a 2 bit ho (if a woman), or surrounding themselves with 2 bit hos (if a man), and partaking in activities and behaviours that we generally consider to be detrimental to society.

I just had a look through the ARIA top 50 singles. And really??? The only artist I think deserves to be there is Missy Higgins. WHile I don't really like her music, at least she makes music to express herself and connect with her listeners. Not to get the most bang for buck out of every song and hundreds of potential club remixes.

Since around April/May. I really want to keep it going. I imagine it's going to get tough. Before this was pokemon. I think if I can keep buying toys, watching the shows/movies and playing the games at a consistent rate can help me stay on track, because usually when I see something from my childhood, I get interested. I went off collecting ben 10 figures about a year ago, (after I'd got every alien force figure) but I drifted away from it. These past few weeks the idea to keep going keeps coming up in my head and it's hard ton jam it out.
This is a good and bad time for me, all the good stuff from my childhood is coming back. TMNT, Thundercats, a little power-rangers, ben 10, MOTU etc are all trying to replace the spot currently held by transformers. As I said before, I really want to hold onto this hobby as long as I can,as I don't want to tell myself that I've wasted so much money on something that isn't even that important to me. I really don't want to do that again. It's frustrating. I now feel like I can really only go with transformers and no other toys, since I don't want anything else to take over. It's kind of paranoid, but I think it might work. Hopefully.:o

Yeah, I try that. But they just go, "Well you listen to U2 and Stan Bush and I'm like yeah. It's even worse with people not having any gift or talent and just autotuning. It pains me, when there are those that are normal and act normal, but they don't become famous because they don't looooove partying like Chris Brown or whatever that man ******* **** ****** ****hole does for a living. They let fame get to them and it's really hard to find meaningful, yet true musical talent out there. It's really annoying to me too. You're not alone. And I have another rant; people who think life is all about partying and don't take anything seriously. That and ripoffs of other songs.

Like, is there a few satellites down on Cybertron? No signal?
Yeah Goki, your one of the adventurous ones and we are not all like that. I know that. And people are busy , like duh. And no, there are no toy fairs or conventions here in NQ. But i truely think its Townsville as the same problems occured with finding Dystopian Wars/40k players. ( but my BF has a stricter timetable with work n all) I no worky like that but i'm not free anytime either. And these things are just coming of as rude. Its a big deal that i can get out to the cosplay night, being a good $30 in a taxi each way if my other contacts fail, and i have no choice but to lug the kid too. (which will need feeding in those 5 hours- can you see Sunstreaker in a Maccas line...?) So its not smooth at my end. But even then, the only people that have responded to the post are you guys from wayyyyyyyyyy outttttttaaaaaaaa town. That just feels weird. Its nice to have pen-pals.
Pisseddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd dddddd just let me do this, annoyedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd d because i cannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ... ok better now, bit.

If i ever go looking for gold, I'll visit:) Sunstreaker in a maccas line:rolleyes:... sounds like my kind of youtube video:p

That sucks dude:(. I get that feeling too sometimes.. And some couple walking past let their dog crap on my lawn a few months ago... i wish i'd picked it up and thrown it at them..
