Getting back into blogging

So I'm getting back into the robmuch stuff (YouTube, Twitter, etc.) and figured I should get back into blogging as well!

YouTube News!
I've just been accepted as the new Thursday on the5guys channel, and I'm really excited about that, hopefully it will be great fun to be involved!

Posted a new robmuch video, just updating YouTube with what's going on in my life and why I've been absent for a couple of weeks. Check out that video below.


Also, a few days ago I posted a new robnscotty video, check that out below.

Back in the library...

So I am back in the library for another day of study, listening to Beethoven's 9th to try and make me smarter. Don't know if it's working, I guess we'll see during the exam tomorrow...

Tomorrow's exam is for the subject Steel Structures, mostly a design subject (maths design, not the fun designing you might be thinking of). So for the exam we have to deal with designing structures for tension, compression, bending, and also a combination of bending and compression. We also have to design connections.

If you are still reading I congratulate you, and I reward you with a hilarious video of a bedtime story from one of my favourite YouTubers kaysea81

OH! And a reminder to sponsor me for Movember if you haven't already

Movember

So this time last year my boss at work approached me to ask if I wanted to get involved with their Movember team. I had no idea what it was all about and read up on it and found out that it was raising money for men's health issues such as prostate cancer and depression, and all you had to do was grow some facial hair (the mo) for the month of November. So I decided to give it a go, and the result was this:


This year, after staunch opposition from friends, relatives, workmates, randoms on the street, randoms on Facebook, and especially my boyfriend, I have decided that I will accept sponsorship to NOT grow a mo for Movember. So if you would like to see me avoid this horrendous patch of facial hair growth on my face, then the details to sponsor me are below. Also below are links and details of what Movember is all about.


During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'm (avoiding) growing a Mo. That's right I'm (avoiding) bringing the Mo back because I'm passionate about tackling men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against men's depression and prostate cancer.

To donate to my Mo (avoiding) you can either:

  1. Click this link https://www.movember.com/au/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink&rego=1493391&country=au and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
  2. Write a cheque payable to ‘Movember Foundation', referencing my Registration Number 1493391 and mailing it to:

Movember Foundation
PO Box 292
Prahran VIC 3181
Australia

Remember, all donations over AU$2 are tax deductible.

The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative. The PCFA and beyondblue will use the funds to fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and depression.

Did you know:

  • Depression affects 1 in 6 men in Australia....most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
  • Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer - equivalent to the number of women who will die from breast cancer annually.

Thanks for your support

Movember is proudly grown by Holden and Schick.

Movember is proud partners with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative.
