Chloe Fox | Game of the month May

Image
My gamer of the month is Chloe Fox, a gamer and streamer from Melbourne, Australia. Chloe isn't a professional at gamer like many others and started streaming for fun and has gained 1,000 followers on twitch and on twitter which is impressive. How I found Chloe was when I was going through CSGO streams on Twitch.TV I found her and I just began started watching her. I then began loving her streams and highly enjoying her chats and talking with other followers and now since I kept coming into her streams I am now a moderator (I'm proud as punch to be one) I also got to do a small interview Chloe, just for you all to get to know her and maybe come to one of her streams. She also now has her boyfriend Soto aka BBG  an New Yorker streamer living with her and her sister in Melbourne. They make the cutest couple! :)  1.  How did you get into gaming? I got into gaming when I was about 5 years old - when I was super little I didn't have a pc or any consoles, but my

Autodrome | Book of the month

Image
This month the book is Autodrome by Kim Lakin-Smith. I received this book from my friend Hannah as a birthday present! Thank You Hannah!:) The book is about a teen boy called Zar Punkstar who loves racing and wants to become a pro. Zar's mother is a drug addict and his father is an inventor and gets murdered. Zar seeks revenge to find out who murdered his father and joins a team of some of the best racers from the streets and outer of the city.  When I started reading the book I got really confused because I couldn't get into the book but until in the middle of it I got seriously into it! I love the friendship Zar has with  Perisa Gold. I quite enjoyed the ending of the book, I would love if there would be a second book!  I never seen the book in any Irish stores and when I went to research it, there isn't many stores selling it. Amazon, Easons do sell it online which is great.   Autodrome I also love the cover of the book, I received a hard back of the

The Irish Referendum

Image
There is this huge thing on this May in Ireland. We call it the Irish Referendum. What does that mean? It means Irish Citizens who can vote from 18, can register and say I can VOTE! I am one of theses people saying I can VOTE! Back in the Victorian times women weren't even allowed to vote back then and think about it all those women went out to protest in the streets and end up getting arrested! Anyway to my point I think everyone should vote and use your God Damn voice! People here in Ireland don't even realize people died to get people to vote! This years Referendum are on two things, Same Sex Marriage and to bring the election age of the President of Ireland down from 35 to 21. A-lot of people have been mainly talking about the same sex marriage. I feel everyone has a right to get married, and that's why I'm honestly voting yes but now people are bringing up that adoption law, which gay men and lesbian couples can adopt here in Ireland. I&#

Molly Sterling | Artist of the Month May

Image
If  your a Eurovision fan this years Ireland entry is from 17 years old Molly Sterling from Co Tipperary now living in Co Dublin is singing a lovely song called Play With Numbers written by Molly and Greg French. Molly and Greg wrote the song about the risks people take every day in love and in life.And experiences of taking the road less traveled.  I really love this song from previous songs representing Ireland, for example last night Casey Linn who represented us last year didn't even get into the final since 2009 which like shocking as we always get into the final. Molly will be performing on the second semi final which is the Thursday and will be singing second place which great as we usually in the middle. My favorite lyrics from the song is "I can watch from afar, from my art on my own All along I was lost, I was wild, this is wrong I can’t force this, just watch as the surface surrenders it all I made the mess in your vision And I see a debt to be
