The Great and Powerful 'Gublerland' - LOVE.
Ahh. My current favourite website. My inspiration for living.
Ok, maybe not quite my inspiration for living, but you have to admit, this is a pretty spectacular example of genius.
The page belongs to actor/film-maker/ex-model/artist/example of perfection - Mr Matthew Gray Gubler. All elements of the website were thought up in his colourful mind, using all his own artwork & sound effects. There may not be as many pages as I'd like (of course, being a successful actor on 'Criminal Minds', I can't very well expect him to sit at a computer all day), but the current contents are beyond fantastic.
On arriving at the website, we are greeted with an almost intimidating drawing of 'Gublerland'. Matthew's love of all things 'Halloween' is very apparent, but when you look closely, the characters and backdrop isn't nearly as disturbing as first thought.
All sketches are by Matthew himself, proving that his talents are much wider than his current role on our TV screens. There are even sound clips - which I have to say, are very 'original'. You may recognise some popular TV theme tunes, and there is a wonderful and emotional rendition of Edgar Allen Poe's poem, 'Annabel Lee'.
I urge you to check it out, and I'm pretty sure you'll soon be taking the oath to become a fully fledged 'Gubloid'. Don't forget to print your very own passport! I have mine, thanks to Amy - and I am now an official citizen of Gublerland. Don't hate.

Tweet off - NO LOVE.
Everyone loves Twitter. I love Twitter. I like to keep all my friends in one place, with simple one line updates to show me how they are doing. I like that celebrities can use it freely, giving us an insight into them as actual people - a bit of their soul, you might say.As with everything in life, Twitter also has its cons. My biggest dislike is re-tweeting, closely followed by trending. Even then, I guess it's not actually the action of re-tweeting or trending that annoys me. It's the fact that I can't hide those tweets in my timeline. That's the one thing Facebook has over Twitter. You can hide the annoying fucks who feel the need to update every minute, or who re-post the lastest pop-idol or celebrity gossip, or campaigns and petitions. Dudes, Twitter isn't going to change the world. If you re-tweet something, it's not going to fix world hunger or get your favourite artiste on the cover of 'Rolling Stone'.
So, although I love the people on my timeline, I don't necessarily share their likes and dislikes or point of view - so I should be able to tailor it to my needs, right?
Why can't I delete re-tweets? Or why can't I hide people temporarily until X-Factor sunday is over? Fix it Twitter.
Excuse me whilst I go start a petition and re-tweet it for all it's worth.
