Basically Im offering to be the shitty, boring version of DB for less money and with no resulting fame. I am literally offering to do this if only enough money for charity exists. Im not looking to make anything for my own personal fame or glory.

Whatever happens Im gonna try to make the 120. I just thought it might be a good idea to raise money for the children along the way.

Now everyone look at this man, now back to you, now back to this man, he has clearly used Old Spice and therefore awsome.

Well then. Thankyou. I dont know what old spice means to this new generation. I remember when wearing old spice was a diss. Any road. Thanks Beta. Lets see if we can garner any more money producing intentions. Totally for the kiddies.

Whelp, Ive heard nothing so far from the crew and money-wise outside of the three or so guys who would like to donate. Trust me Im gonna do it anyways but if you were happy to donate money to me then just go ahead and donate it via the actual DB charity. I'll post a blog or something about how my experiences go. Say once a day. The SEVEN WHOLE POUNDS which I have garnered from my work will be donated too plus whatever I end up doing my own self during the actual event.

Its nice just to know that I've made a difference.

I need to lurk better...

So apparently I just HAPPEN to get a week long break from school that falls EXACTLY in line with Desert Bus. Break starts the Friday of Desert Bus, then ends the monday after it is finished, which means I can stay awake for all of Desert Bus, then have plenty of time to catch up on sleep.

So I shall attempt to join you sir. For the children.

Well if it's for the children... yes but no going micheal jackson on them. (If anyone is offended for me using MJ ((not MJ from Spider-man not that anyone was going to say that)) well sorry to you but he's been dead for long enough to be made fun of again, only Billy Mayes can never be made fun of after death :cry: )

Don't tell Graham that. (Sadly, I can't seem to find Graham's rendition of "Re: Your Brains" as Billy Mays, but hopefully someone can help me out here.)

Okay. So its this week that Machalllewis will try his best to spend 5 days awake watching the desert bus. Please everyone encourage/check that I am still awake throughout. I will take periods off throughout to eat and shower and stuff.

This Friday it all begins. I'm slightly scared. I have social problems at the best of times never mind after two days without sleep.

Same for me, except for I won't be able to be on the computer at all times. But I promise I won't sleep while off camera. But I wish to join you Mach. Are we allowing 5 hour energy? And let's post our cams on here. What site are you using, cause I've never done it before. Oh an I'm gonna have to start at 1130 central because I have class till 11 which involves 2
huge tests which I can't skip. But I'm giving you 3 full days and me 2 days lol. Imma try to get all 5 in, but no guarentee. So who alls participating.
Edit: nvm, didn't realize that desert bus started late. That means I'll be able to start on time! Yay! Means I can try to get a nap in before hand!!!!

Hey dude. Ummm, I probably won't be doing the cam thing. Its just a challenge to myself really.

Basically because I realised that there wasn't that much interest, my webcam is probably quite poor, its probably gonna be real dark in here so I'll just look like an alien, oh and I have no idea how to actually do it.

Right heres the final format.

MR.STRANGELEW or HOW I LEARNED TO STOP SLEEPING AND LOSE MY MIND

Basically heres how I'm going to do it. The show starts in approximately 8 hours so I'm obviously going to start watching then.

Following that for every 3 hours I'm going to make a blog post recording what I've been up to and whats happened so far on the show. If I can get it to work I'll also record a short vidcast. To be honest this is mostly for me, just to see what happens really. If I ever decide to do anything with it then I'll let you know.

Now, off to record a pre-amble!

Edit: BLOG HERE

Man that sucked. Okay I managed a full 24 hours before getting sick to the back teeth of keeping up with the blog. It kinda spoiled it for because essentially I was keeping notes on everything that the people were doing in the room, while watching for interesting screen caps, while just trying to enjoy the shenanigans.

Then the worst thing was in the final half hour of each 3 hour block when I was writing the blog, deciding what to keep in and what to lose and formatting the screen caps, with my computer constantly crashing because I was doing this all at the same time.

So yeah it was kinda ruining Desert Bus for me so I just decided "Bus it." And decided to watch at my own pace and only do blogs as I feel like doing them.
