I'm annoyed that I keep meaning to buy a zafuton to chill and meditate on, but then forget, spend money elsewhere, and then continue to sit awkwardly and uncomfortably whilst trying to chill or meditate. Comfort first, not bloody food for comfort. Damnit. >.<
Fuck sakes, My brother went behide my back, AGAIN, and decided it's ok to get a new ISP. FUCKEN GREAT! this means I have to pay $400 to get out of my current contract with rogers. Fuck sakes, I don't have the money right now. I already have a $400 ticket to pay off. I want to move out, and my car needs fixing. I need to go to the dentist. I don't have the money to buy out a contract. Screw it, I'm not paying for this new ISP. He can do that on his own. Fuck this.
And My knuckle is all swollen and bloody cause I punched the edge of a counter. That was obviously a smart idea.
On the plus side, I may have a roommate if I decide to move out soon :D
This gives me a lot of laughs.Quote:

It's so bad to the point where they believe they need to read BIAS because the things that aren't biased ALWAYS HAVE A LIBERAL BIAS.
Oh my god... *PUKE*
This excerpt is from the first paragraph of the article on islam:
Islam is known as one of the world's most violent religions; there have been over 16,000 terrorist attacks committed by extremist Muslims since 2001.[1] Liberals however, frequently ignore the violence of Islam (refering to critics as "racists" and "Islamophobes") while they focus on attacking Christianity, a religion with a long history of charity and self sacrifice
WHAT? that's not even pertinent to the first article content, which is supposed to be a summary of WHAT IT IS. If anything, it should be listed under a content table as "Alledged Violent Tactics" or something..
I can't wear dress shirts in this heat, I went to get some colored photocopies, and to buy some scantrons as well. As I'm waiting inside of the bus, getting out, getting the copies, going back, waiting inside the bus, heading to the new Barnes and Nobles Bookstore/Aggie combination renovation, I started to feel the sweat behind my back and armpits.
Ride my bicycle after I take care of those things, and I see that 30% of the back of the shirt is drenched in sweat.
God freaking hell....It's a good thing I wore black pants, because god knows if I would be sweating a lot down there with LIGHT pants/shorts.....that would be embarrassing....going to have to drink a lot of water as well.
And Biology Exam tomorrow, and the other exam too. Oh man, I feel sick just thinking about it, and when one of my relatives asks me how I'll think I'll do on the exam even makes me sicker....you don't have to remind me that there's an EXAM you know!!! I spent all the past few days living like a cave man typing shit up to memorize, I don't need you to say "Are you set for the exams tomorrow?"
NO...NOO...NOO..NOOO, STOP.
UGGGGH, *cries*
Make it all go away. Make the pain stop, I'm worrying over nothing, but I can't stop worrying!
And I haven't responded to the girl who likes me who asked if I had the review sheets from the SI session, god damn it bitch, stop relying on my ass for the review sheets, I'm sure you're doing way fucking better than I am in biology, so just use whatever the fuck you're doing to do well in the course anyway....god damn it, always trying to fucking leech me for information, glad I'm not going to see her for a loooooooooong time, since she's majoring in Kinesiology.
I know I'm going to regret what I just said about her, she isn't really....STOP IT LINK, STOP making this an anti-rant. fdaGKAH
I hate everything. Everything sucks and is boring.
Basically like this...

most of the times when someone says they are depressed, lost, or confused, i don't know how to respond. it is easy for me to play hero and try to give advice just to sound "important". but who am i to give any advice. i'm just as much in the dark as they are. i feel as though your darkest moments can be used to bring out the best in you. these are the moments where you are forced to grow up and get real.
Idk, Life. Chemistry too probably.Quote:

Imagine being an all powerful being set out to protect humans, if you don't know what it's like to feel anger, sadness, joy, and many things with those humans, then you can't learn why human life is important.Quote:

And if they don't acknowledge it, or take it into consideration, you may have changed how another person thinks, and sometimes those people don't want to admit it, which makes it look like if you do try and give advice, it will be in vain. It's always good to see someone's views on something. You don't have to think of it as being a hero and trying to encourage them, I think of it was finding reflections of who I really am, but never had the will to admit it until I can understand their pains.
But that's just me. When I try to give advice, I'm always afraid of what the other person might think, but that's the point, to understand people more. We're not perfect, and we may not be always right in our intentions, so we shouldn't assume that we have to play hero to give some temporary reminder that we're trying to help or anything. It's up to that person to take it into consideration, and if they don't, you can know that you're understanding how you think, and I think that's the most important thing to be cognizant of if advice doesn't work.
Self-awareness all the way, in my opinion.
Yeah, I've noticed this too. Sometimes I think it's better to just listen and try to imagine you in their shoes and just think about it and just try to express the hope you feel in your life about bad situations in general.Quote:

Yeah, Link, at the end of the day, who gives a shit if someone thinks you think you're 'important' or whatever for offering advice. As I said before, if you live your life under the fear of judgement of others, you'll never live calmly. If you wanna help, then do it - no point in trying to second guess. If your help is meaningless, what have you lost in giving it?Quote:

Me: I see.
Him: More words about Obama.
Me: Ah.
A little later...
Him: Did you know that at any given time the human colon has 5 to 10 pounds of undigested red meat in it? It's true.
Me: (Internal facepalm)
Him: Vegan for 30 years, blah-blah-blah.
Me: Kiddo! It's time to go home!
Yeah...this happens every now and then. :rolleyes:
its amazing how you can type something and watch how defensive people can get without trying to appear defensive.
the cunningness of the human mind fascinates me.
I have to appear in court tomorrow.
Please let the cop not show up...
I read a few of your previous posts in this thread and your advice seems impeccable to me.Quote:

It's not you ZeraCook, don't worry about it, you'll find some people to relate to, it may not as quick, but I didn't get that many friends here on DV until I started to get pretty active here.
Well, you have to expect someone to respond to something like that, it's just a matter of instinct, the longer you let it slide, the more people will think you're not being genuine. :P Everyone is going to get defensive to some extent, we can't all agree on each other just like that. Then it would be confirmation bias at its finest, until people get bored of saying "yes yes yes yes yes" to each other, and decide to find someone who doesn't conform to their ideals.Quote:

Haha thanks guys. I wasn't planning on leaving, where else would I find people that are into lucid dreams and don't roll their eyes every time I talk about a dream I had.
