Rastamouse

Have you seen it YET!

I HAVE AND YES I AM 24 YEARS OLD AND IT IS AIMED AT THE UNDER 5'S BUT ITS GREAT!


DJ and Presenter Reggie Yates' voice has been put to use in the new CBeebies programme 'Rastamouse'. Based on the popular series of books.




One minute in and you'll feel like you've been transported to the Caribbean.Not only do the mice have the accent and the laid back charm,they also seem to make everything look cool.

When I was a small kiddie,I only had Thomas the Tank engine (I'm not hating,I just complaining) to watch


 BUT my niece and the other young ones have Rastamouse.Not fair.

It's so popular I can hardly find a link to embed the video (the owners have disabled embedding requests)onto my blog,so have a look over here

Who Am I (Part Three): Aspirations

ASPIRATIONS

What did you want to be as a child, when you grew up ?
I didn’t know what I wanted to be until my teens, I wanted to be in the fashion industry. I love designing clothes and kept a folder of my designs. 

So are you, aspiring to break the Fashion Industry?
No, who knows what could happen in a few years time, but definitely not in a creative traditional role. After I received a D in my Art GCSE, when I was expecting a B, I thought it wasn’t meant to be, so I didn’t dwell on my ‘failure’ and I pursued something else.I focused on Graphics as I got a B (and was predicted a C), so I continued with that. I later decided to study Marketing and Music & Media Management at London Metropolitan University. Which was a bit of a change, I lot of people actually thought I was studying Fashion  for a while as I did originally intend to study Fashion Promotion, even my Dad thought I was studying Fashion!
  
I later changed to BA Marketing, which really helped shape my thinking and understanding of the importance of commercial awareness and understanding the needs of the consumer. 

What are your Career Aspirations
I just have one; I would like to build a long and successful career in the Media industry, in either a role in Marketing, Advertising, PR or Digital. I am actually very keen to learn more about Digital.

Why do you want to learn more about Digital ?
I would like to learn more about Digital Media and Marketing to be exact as:
1. Digital and Social Media has changed the way we connect with the world.
 1a. YouTube has changed the way we watch music videos and television shows as well opening up a gateway to new learn things. You can learn a new language, learn how put on make-up and watch funny clips.
 1b..Facebook rules the world and Twitter is an essential promotional tool for even Celebrities and well known brands.
2. It is a fast growing industry that will continue to shape other industry's,just as in how Marketing and IT departments of various organisations have begun to merge together or they now consists of personnel who seem to have similar job descriptions e.g SEO Executives
3. Digital Media is used by all industry's to promote their brand or products, so it would be good to have a great knowledge of the subject.
4. My highest graded module at University was in fact Digital Media Management (66%), what a coincidence.

X marks the spot

X FACTOR HAS TAKEN OVER OUR WEEKEND NIGHTS AND MAYBE EVEN OUR LIVES !! 

Maybe NOT but wasn't Mary GREAT !!



So was Aiden ! He got into character,didn't he,he scared me a bit though.Well it paid off,the judges loved him and so do we,he's now the bookies favourite.

So happy John,Paije,Belle Aime and One Direction all got through,they all gave us an amazing performance. I was worried that they wouldn't secure enough votes and they would end up in the bottom three,phewww !!

I knew Aiden,Mary,Matt,Rebecca,Storm,Diva Fever (they worked it!!),Wagner (wacky!!) and Treyc, would go through.It's a shame that there's more talk about her bum then her singing at the moment,a BBC Radio host even started a discussion about it. He was bombarded with texts,Facebook and Twitter comments,a majority of  them were actually from women,who were complimenting Treyc's figure, stating that she is the UK's answer to JLo.

I think Cheryl I mean Cher did okay,don't get me wrong she can sing but her image is her asset.I'm afraid,'style over substance' is a quote which will be continually used whenever her name is mentioned,until she proves us all wrong.Why ? She hasn't topped her first performance at her audition. ! Therefore Cheryl's outburst yesterday after Cher's performance was not needed,Cher has not proved that she is better than Treyc.Treyc missed out on a place on the final 3 when Cheryl chose Cher instead of her.

That's why the public are angry CHERYL !!

Cher is a Cheryl mini-me which means that we are not surprised that she loves her. She's obviously a favourite of Cheryl's as Cher should of been the wild card not Treyc,end of.


Nicolo,that was a SURPRISE he did really well but he did do a Gaga number,though! I think we had enough of that last year,I'm afraid.It just shows what happens,when we as fans choose not to vote.

Sad about FYD but the groups always go first,I'm afraid.Shame they were up against Katie the judges love her.I don't,she can sing but Cheryl shouldn't of chosen her over Gamu.Katie (1) has had her chances,she had a record deal and a internet reality show .

(1) Katie in 2009

Unfortunately that doesn't even matter as it's reported that X Factor aka Simon Cowell bought her out of her record contract.Was she worth it,well lets wait and see.

(2) Gamu in tears during her interview
Back on to Gamu (2),the poor darling has been put into hiding (with the help of Simon Cowell) somewhere in Scotland.She faces deportation,as her mother's application to extend her Visa has been rejected,as she allegedly wrongly claimed £16,000 worth of state benefits.This was the reason the Home Office's reached such a decision,which could be life altering for Gamu and her family.Gamu appeared today on the News of the World,where she stated that she fears 'she'll face a firing squad if she is deported back to Zimbabwe'.This is due to the fact that herself and her family fled Zimbabwe and later settled in  Tillicoultry,Clackmannanshire in Scotland  for refuge. Luckily she has the help of the Scottish Government and Simon Cowell who has also put forward his lawyers to take on the case.Good Luck,Gamu.

P.S.Just makes you think,about how many unlucky families are sent back to the country they are trying to get away from :(
