Explosive Update!

Well, not exactly EXPLOSIVE, but you know what I’m trying to say.

Basically, I’m gonna revamp the site! You know, redecorate or whatever. Have a huge update and add loads of new features. Hopefully. Even if there aren’t many people who read this, I still think it’s worth doing an update. Maybe it’ll attract more viewers!

You see, the reason I’m doing this is that I recently got 200,000 site views. Thank you to all the people out there who helped me get that, from when I first made my site about three years ago up to now! I really appreciate that I can get this many views, and even though some sites have millions it’s still quite a good achievement for me. Sooo…I’m doing an update! Which should be cool. Here’s some of the stuff I’m hoping to do:

• New theme
• Completely revamped sidebar + cool new widgets
• New homepage
• New header
• New stuff in my posts (this might sound a bit weird, but I’ll explain later…)
• New kinds of posts (so far I have FSATM, and I’ll get more stuff like that)
• More cool stuff that I can’t think of right now

I want to do all of the things above, but I might not be able to. You’ll have to wait and see! As for when I’m doing the update, I’ll probably do it before 2010. I have a lot of other stuff to do, but while I’m doing the update I’ll it so that you can’t access the site. I don’t know how I will do it, but I WILL!

When the site’s updated, it’ll definitely be a lot cooler. I just hope I get enough viewers… anyway, see you all after the update!

FSATM #7, Holidays & Madness

Hellooo!

I’ve just survived another half term holiday, and I got a guitar! It’s an Epiphone Cherry SG (Click Here to see a photo) and it’s pretty epic, I’ve done some band practice, jammin’ n that. I’ve also had terrible luck. I ordered Pokemon Platinum for DS about a month ago, and it arrived and I played it. Turned out that if it was off for a few hours, all the save data would DISAPPEAR and you’d have to start again. So I got a refund and bought it somewhere else. And you know what they did?

They sent me Mario Kart.

I’ve already got it! I don’t need another copy! I didn’t even order it!! So I sent that back to, turns out it was a mistake, and now I have Pokemon Platinum. It freezes occasionally, but it hasn’t for a few days so I’ll probably keep it. It only cost me about 14 quid!

I’d better get on with my Fav Songs At The Moment section anyway, that’ll be gooooood. Here goes:

• The Captain by Biffy Clyro (mon the Biffy!)
• Careful by Paramore (probably my favourite from Brand New Eyes)
• Lazy Eye by Silversun Pickups (the singer’s…a…man? Doesn’t sound like it XD)
• Everywhere I Go by Hollywood Undead
• The Exogenesis Symphony by Muse (I’ve gotta include all three parts – it’s just so amazing!)
• New Moon Rising by Wolfmother
• Crawl Back In by Dead By Sunrise
• Can’t Keep No Good Boy Down by The Parlor Mob
• East Jesus Nowhere by Green Day
• Simple Boy by Karnivool

There ya go! At this exact moment I’m listening to Instinct Blues by The White Stripes. My iTunes is on that iTunes DJ shuffle thing, with my Insane Playlist (all the coolest songs eva in one playlist)…before that it was I’m Sorry by Flyleaf, then Plug In Baby by Muse. MYYY PPLUUUGGG IINN BBAAAABBYY! *ahem*
By the way, my friend Tim (a.k.a. Madness) has made a new website, and it should be pretty cool. If you wanna check it out, just go to kwwebsite.wordpress.com and see what you think! Thanks!

Well enjoy ya life! See ya,

It’s Been A While… / FSATM #6

Hello everyone!

I haven’t posted here in a while…since Easter, in fact, and it’s almost August! Ah well. I guess I was enjoying life.

And just because I’m posting here now, it doesn’t mean I’ll post every single day to the end of eternity. I’m just here to do another one of my Fav Songs At The Moment things. On with it, then!

And no, It’s Been Awhile by Staind won’t be in the list. Although that would fit with the title. It’s a good song, that…

• Steady, As She Goes by The Raconteurs
• Meant To Live by Switchfoot
• Get On Your Boots by U2
• I’m Yours by Jason Mraz
• Helicopter by Bloc Party
• Don’t Trust Me by 3OH!3
• When You Were Young by The Killers
• 21 Guns by Green Day
• United States of Eurasia by Muse (this isn’t properly out yet, but from what I’ve heard of it it’s AWESOME)
• Chop Suey! by System Of A Down

Yeah. That’s it. You can leave now. I pwomise.

~Jakzar~

Easter Thanks

Yes, I’d like the Easter thanks, and possible a little Christmas as a side dish? Yup, that’s cool. Hm? Oh yes please, some Hanukoka-Cola too, that’s cool.

NOOO, of course I don’t mean “Easter Thanks” that way. I mean, I have some people to thank for keeping me going. OK, it probably sounds better now than it really is, but these people have helped me so I can make more posts and stuff. They haven’t even done much, just left good comments and stuff, but that’s nice. I haven’t got loads, but I have quite a few cool comments from certain people. Some have been left in the feedback section of the site, on my homepage. Yeah. Here are a few:

Wicedpen: “U ROCK BUT  CLUB PENGUIN DOESNT IT STINKS [ NO OFFENCE CP]“

Jason: “this is really cool !! Maybe organise to web page a bit better. Thanks”

And other comments from other people, especially a few from Yogipen, just being nice. I might sound big-headed, but wouldn’t anyone like comments like this? So I’d just like to thank all you people. Have some Kudos…whatever that means.

~Jakzar~

Eaten Bolognese!

Wait, did I say Eaten Bolognese? Sorry, I meant to say Easter Holidays…my mistake. *ahem* Anyway, so yeah, it’s the Easter holidays! Has been for over a week now, WELL FOR ME ANYWAY MUHAHAHA Um, that was quite scary, please don’t ask what happened. Yupwesz (“yuwesz” is Swedish for “I hope you understand”).

So, I’ve had quite a lot of fun over the holidays. Been swimming, seen little kids (lots of ‘em, lol), went to church…um…I’ve woken up…I’ve fallen asleep…yeah. Oh, I remember now! I got two new albums recently, American Idiot by Green Day and The Open Door by Evanescence. Green Day are amazing, for want of a better word I’m “addicted” to their music at the moment. Not as much as Muse ‘n’ stuff though. Evanescence are awesome too, although they’re not that new to me as I got their debut album, Fallen, a while ago. That’s really good too.

It’s Easter Sunday today, remember, the day that Jesus came back to the life ‘n’ that. Or maybe you just like it for the eggs. I dunno! I’m going to church later, and I’m not one of the kids who eats all of his eggs before he’s even had breakfast. I saaavvve them. Kinda. Yupwesz.

And, of course, there’s one thing I CANNOT forget. It’s on 18th April…oh. Well, if you were one of my better fans you would know that it’s my birthday on 18th April.

…I know! I’m excited too. What, you’re not? *sniff* Lol anyway, I am excited, although I’m trying not to be too excited ‘cos then I’ll wake up at about 3 in the morning on the day. But I am looking forward to it. I’m not gonna have any kind of Club Penguin party this year, thankfully, because I don’t play it anymore. Anyway, no-one bothered to visit those parties, probably because I’m in England so it was awkward times. Is 8:30am too early for you guys? Well, it wouldn’t be bad for ME anyway. Lol.

I gotta go, see ya, and if you’re lucky I might blog here on my birthday. Probably not, I’ll be enjoying whatever I get for my birthday. (Please, Guitar Hero 4, come to my house…)

~Jakzar~

P.S. ‘Cos it’s Easter, how about I ask you ONE question: Do you like Creme Eggs? Simple question, just a yes or no. Or a maybe. Or a sort of. whatevz. Please reply! Do YOU like Creme Eggs?

Three New Wallpapers

Hi!

I’ve just made three new wallpapers, two music-related ones and the other with a nice Easter theme, because…well, ‘cos it’s Easter really. *looks at watch* Ooh, it is nearly Easter as well! Faaancy that! Y’know, yesterday I ran into this awfully nice bloke who was – oh sorry, I’m rambling like a chatty old woman again. I do that all the time. Yup. *nods head knowingly*

Anyway, so first up lets get the Easter wallpaper. Remember, all of my wallpapers are widescreen, ‘cos my monitor is, so if yours isn’t then too bad. Well, you could try and use it, and it might work OK, but I make them for myself mainly so they’re only here in case anyone does want them.

This wallpaper has loads of eggs in the background and something saying Happy Easter! in the middle. It’s simple, but works quite well. Just’a Click Here for the link! (I use links ‘cos they’re pretty big so take ages to upload here, plus you won’t see them that well here anyway)

Next up: a Muse wallpaper. The British space rockers are, and have been for some time, my favourite band (sorry Linkin Park, but you’re SECOND). You may not know them that well, but this image is their album Origin Of Symmetry, which is probably their best This image was pretty damn hard to make, as I had to copy the image twice. (the album isn’t rectangular, you know!) It took a bit of work, getting all the shadows to work with the other part, making it fit, getting the colours right etc. It’s probably my favourite one, so if you like Muse please give it a go! Click Here to see it!

And finally, my *third* favourite band, Paramore. This wallpaper took me about a minute to make, seriously. All I did was grab an image of Google Images and resized it a bit. That’s about it. Still, it’s pretty awesome, so please Click Here to see it, and maybe even use it if you’re a Paramore fan.

See ya then, have a great Easter (if you’re celebrating it…) and enjoy your life,

~Jakzar~

FSATM #5…or something

I know I did a Fasattum thingy just the post before, but I don’t really update this site much anyway so that’s cool. It’s probably quite different to whatever I’ve had before…I dunno. Should be! But here’s some of my favourite songs at the moment, anyway.

• New Born by Muse
• Sober by P!nk (I don’t usually like this kind of thing, but this song rules)
• Going Under by Evanescence
• Like Suicide by Seether (You’re listening to Seether? Isn’t that, like, suicide? Lol XD)
• Franklin by Paramore
• Use Somebody by Kings Of Leon
• Get It Faster by Jimmy Eat World
• You Found Me by The Fray
• The Fear by Lily Allen
• White Unicorn by Wolfmother
• And that’s it for today! Oh no, stupid bullet points..

And that’s it for today! I was gonna put two Evanescence songs there, the other one being the amaaaazing Bring Me To Life, but I had to have one of the songs on The Fray’s new album. I would have liked a bit of Weird Al Yankovic too, but you can’t have everything. Anyway, I listen to his music ‘cos it’s funny, not because it’s good music. Yeah, it is really good music, but that’s not the reason. Oh, and I haven’t gone off Linkin Park by the way. I admit that I don’t listen to ‘em much, but I still like ‘em. Although I probably like Muse more now.

~Jakzar~

12/04/09 edit: I look back at this now and think, “Wow, why did I choose some of THOSE songs?!” and it’s just over a month later. OK, well, it’s just two of them that I think were a strange choice…Franklin by Paramore and Going Under by Evanescence. I would definitely choose Bring Me To Life over Going Under, ‘cos although they’re both good, Bring Me To Life is better. And Franklin’s not amazing…it’s good, but when I did this I’m *sure* I would have chosen something like My Heart or Pressure (I got their first album around that time). Anyway, that’s enough rant, see ya’ll another time!

FSATM #4

New just in! The guy who did every single post on this site is not the real Jakzar! Also, the guy on Club Penguin/Runescape called Jakzar is not the real one! However, not to worry, as I’m the real one.

*ahem* Yeah, anyway, whatever. Got another “Favourite Songs At The Moment”, so…yeah. I’ve said enough!

• Helena by My Chemical Romance
• Mad As Rabbits by Panic! At The Disco (the exclamation mark lives on in my eyes!)
• Heart-Shaped Box by Nirvana
• Citizen Erased by Muse
• Decode by Paramore
• Time Is Running Out by Muse (sorry, I’ve got to have two Muse songs though)
• We Made It by Busta Rhymes ft. Linkin Park
• How You Remind Me by Nickelback
• Into The Night by Santana ft. Chad Kroeger
• Points of Authority by Linkin Park

Yeah, I know some bands have two songs there, but We Made It has Busta Rhymes (gonna bust some rhymes, are we?) in it too, and Into The Night isn’t actually Nickelback, it’s just the singer and some random guitarist. And the two Muse songs? Well, they’re amazing so they’re allowed it. OK. Buh-bye now.

King Jakzar

Hi There! Jakzar here!

No, don’t worry, I haven’t been crowned as King. I’ve made a new blog with my friend Kingherptile called King Jakzar! See what I did there…anyway, we both update it, and it’s incredibly random. Most of it doesn’t make sense. Umm, so yeah, you should check out this blog. It’s awesome! My friend and I will update it regularly (probably more than this site), so please see what it’s like! Oh, yeah, a link. Right. Click Here to see it! It rules…in a crazy random way. Yeah. Well, that’s all I’ve got to say, so until next time, see ya! (Did that make sense? I don’t think it did…think about it. “Until next time, see ya!” I can’t see you before the next time I see you, because that would – oh, whatever.)

Just Another Wallpaper I made

Um, hi.

I’m gonna try not to be random, but if I have to be, I will. I won’t have to be. Basically, I’ve made another wallpaper. You know  I made that Linkin Park one and the Nintendo one? Well, yeah, this is a holiday-themed one, with a blue/white background and red/green text saying “Merry Christmas!”. I think it’s quite nice. Just so you know, I made it completely from scratch, so I didn’t use any images from the internet or anything. I just used Adobe Photoshop. If you want to know how I did it, it’s not really that complicated, I just used the Elliptical Marquee Tool to make the hills, the Polygonal Lasso Tool to create the trees and the snowflake pen to make the…well, the snowflakes. I used gradients and edited the opacity a bit too, but thats about it for the background. Anyway, yeah, so, um…here it is! Oh, right, yeah, so Click Here to see it. Bye then!

~Jakzar~

P.S. I don’t think I was that random! Not too random, anyway…y’aint seen nothin’ yet!

Club Penguin Parody Video

Hi!

I don’t update this site much any more, but here’s one of the few things I do – post my Youtube vids. This one is a Club Penguin spoof, and although it is quite long you don’t need to see it all to get the idea. Well, you need to see most of it. Anyway, it’s basically just taking the mick out of some of my older videos (especially the Jakzar Kyle Show). If you watched some of them, you will know what I mean. Most of my old videos about Club Penguin are pretty bad, so this is where it all goes wrong. Just watch it! It will might won’t make you laugh isn’t that funny, but still watch it, ‘cos it’s sort of funny. Not LOL type funny, just random. Honestly, it’s much better if you know the style of my older videos though. You don’t have to have seen all of them, just a bit. I duno. Anyway, watch this!

There! That’s it! Nothing more to say! Goodbye!

~Jakzar~

Nintendo Wallpaper

Hiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Everyone.

After the great *cough* succccessss of my last wallpaper, I decided to make another. OK, the actual reason was that I was bored of the dull Linkin Park one. It was cool, yeah, but it was only black and white! So now, for the first time in…umm…I don’t know how long (that’s how long it is), I have made another wallpaper! It’s probably better than my old one, mainly because it has more colour. It was really easy to make.

I actually made it a while ago, but I’ve got it here now because I decided to do it now. Does that matter? Good. Thank you. You’ve been great. Anyway, so yeah, Click Right ‘ere to see the wallpaper! There it is. See it now! It’s cool! Do what you like with it!

That’s all for now, so until next time, see ya!

Fav Songs at the Mo #3

Another “FSATM”, and it’s changed quite a lot. That’s quite, although there are none of the same songs (except What I’ve Done – W00000000000t!), so it should be without that word. Hey, what the heck, here’s the list:

• If Everyone Cared by Nickelback
• Sleep by My Chemical Romance (I still like loads of their other songs, but it’s a bit late to put Welcome to the Black Parade. It would have been in though, and so would Teenagers)
• Piano Man by Billy Joel
• Given Up by Linkin Park (I’ve known this song for ages, but so?)
• Come as You Are by Nirvana
• Killer Queen by Queen
• Shut Up and Let me Go by The Ting Tings (I used to hate this song, but not any more)
• What I’ve Done by Linkin Park
• Viva la Vida by Coldplay
• The Trick to Life by The Hoosiers

Buh-bye, people! Gotta go! Well, I haven’t, but my fingers hurt. Lol, that phrase has travelled a long way…don’t worry, most people bar one or two won’t know what I’m talking about. That’s good.

Stuff to Blog About

Hi There, people!

I’ve changed my header back to the one I used before. Hallowe’en is a thing of the past! Until next year…Oh, and I hope you all enjoyed it! Some people might have not enjoyed it, but there you go. Hallowe’en is one of those Marmite things – you either love it or hate it. Although I don’t mind it. There’s always someone who doesn’t mind things like this.

Anyway, onto what I’m going to talk about! Lol I can’t think of anything. I bought two albums yesterday, Reanimation by Linkin Park (remixes of the songs from Hybrid Theory, their first album) and The Trick to Life by The Hoosiers. They’re both pretty awesome! I’ve now got four Linkin Park albums. It’s my first one by The Hoosiers, but I think it’s their only one anyway so that’s cool. At the moment I’m listening to Everything Goes Dark by The Hoosiers. All the tracks (apart from the first one, Opening and the strange ones that aren’t remixes) have got the names of the original song but…different. Basically, Forgotten is changed to Frgt/10, In The End to Enth E Nd, One Step Closer to 1stp Klosr and so on.

Recently I’ve been playing a bit of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. I owned 1 and 2 and loved ‘em both, but No. 1 doesn’t work on XP and I can’t find No. 2 so I’m playing No. 3. Even if they both worked I’d still play No. 3 anyway, but I wouldn’t mind playing No. 2 again if I can find it. So yeah, No. 3 is very good, the graphics a bit strange but they’re quite good. I’ve made loads of huge, exciting and slightly dangerous coasters in this Sandbox (unlimited money) park. I’ve done a bit of Career mode, but at the moment I’m not. I use a lot of the preset coasters too, ‘cos they’re really fun to ride (if you’ve played it, you’ll probably know that you can use something called CoasterCam which basically puts the camera in the carriage so it’s like your riding it…except it’s not as good as the real thing).

What else to say…I’ve played The Sims 2 as well. I’ve got four of the expansion packs (Bon Voyage, Open for Business, Pets and University) so I’ve got loads to do. I sent three kids to university, three kids called Ricky Drake, Chavvo Drake and Aimee Robinson. Ricky and Aimee liked each other a lot before they went, but Aimee kissed someone else so Ricky hated her. After ages and ages they began to like each other again and they got engaged. Meanwhile, Chavvo was just doing stuff. He got his Creativity skill to the top quite quickly, and he painted lots of the residents in the block they lived in. Although he was meant to be a bit of a chav, he got very high marks in his tests and liked writing books. Now they all live in a house together (the most expensive one in Pleasantview – lol), although Aimee and Ricky are on their honeymoon at Three Lakes. I think Aimee might be pregnant…I’m not sure yet.

You’re probably bored now, but if you actually bothered to read all that then that’s kinda cool. Well, it is to me anyway.

See ya,

~Jakzar~

Linkin Park Wallpaper

Howdy peeps! It’s Jakzar again!

I was looking for a cool Linkin Park desktop wallpaper on Google. I didn’t really find anything good that was the right size for my monitor (1440×900). So, guess what I decided to do? You don’t know? Really? Oh…Ok, I’ll tell you then. I made my own! It’s quite simple, I just grabbed two images on Photoshop, adjusted the sizes a bit, added a few effects to the logo and added some text. I think it looks kinda cool, but I would, wouldn’t I? Please tell me what you think about it.

It’s quite big, so I won’t try and stick it on here or it might look a bit messy. However, I’ve uploaded it on Flickr, so you can Click Here if you want to see it, save it, set it as your background or whatever. I’ve got a widescreen monitor, so it won’t look right on most people’s computers. If your screen is 1440×900 then you’re lucky! But there probably won’t be many (if any) people who do have that size screen, love Linkin Park, visit this site and are in need of a new background. But who knows? Maybe people will look it up on Google Images. Hmm, I wonder if it is there…can’t find it yet…ah well.

If you search Linkin Park Jakzar on Google Images then all the results are from my site! There are only 6 pages though lol! Whoa, what just happened? I didn’t say Lolz! I’m free of this curse! Wait…no…doesn’t matter. I still say lolz sometimes. “What’s he on about?” you may ask. Well, you should do. Even I don’t know! All I can see is a huge block of text in front of me, and it’s slowly getting bigger and bigger. I think you should leave. I’m scaring myself…ah well, it is nearly Hallowe’en. Muhahahahaha! Ah, good old days. What? Doesn’t matter. Goodbye.

~Jakzar~

P.S. I think that was my craziest post ever! I should be like that more often.
