Failure

You never know when it's going to hit you, you never know when it will strike. It seems that nowadays you cannot avoid failure, regardless of who you are. Take for example a test you've studied ridiculously for, one that you cannot possibly fail at, and yet karma has a way of coming at you for being so proud. Not only is this based on personal experience but I believe others are bottled in these situations as well. Nevertheless we continue on, disregarding our failures and carving a path ahead to the future not learning a thing from our past mistakes. It seems to be a reoccurring theme now, as you try your hardest and fail you move on and learn nothing from those failures, but when you fail yet again you question why? I have no words of wisdom for this for I too have had my share of failures, it is something that is just unavoidable, unpredictable. Have you ever worked hard to the point where you sweat blood and have no doubt in your mind that you will succeed, only to have the world crush you for your insolence and fail you? I do believe everyone has experienced this once, and what do you do when that happens? Some get up and try again and some just lie there, begging for it to stop. What I want to drive at right now is this, learn from failures, learn from mistakes do not overcompensate your own ability because there is a sure likelihood that your abilities are exaggerated. Broken dreams, hearts and shattered hopes are side effects, it is like death it unnoticed until it approaches you and consumes you. Abilities are not enough, nor is hard work because the world is cruel and will exploit all weakness and failures. It is hard to get up sometimes, and yet most of us still do but presently I wish to just lie there and let my failures consume me, but I guess that is a tad emotional. Learn from mistakes, don't disregard them.

Loneliness

When your feelings are in disarray and every breath you take seems to hurt, you sometimes wonder what's going on. You're lost and you have strayed from the path, nothing is as it should the world around you is confusing. It's thoughts like these that could really drive someone mad, such depressing thoughts even if they are from the heart are of no benefit to yourself or others. It may be hard but the more you think about things like this the worse you'll feel, also the whole debate whether to bottle up feelings or not is plain rubbish, bottling up feelings is the worse thing you could possibly do. What harm will come if you told a very good friend, you may worry about betrayal but if you cannot even trust your friends who can you trust. Keeping feelings in especially negative feelings harm you and those around you, it makes people nervous to be around you it makes them scared to ask what's wrong and most of all they find situations with you awkward. So unintentionally you are driving away your friends or at least creating a certain gap between them. Why would people bottle up feelings though, everyone tells you that it's bad for you and yet people still do it. It's because of insecurity, the fact they are afraid people will mock them for feeling that way, and yet their feelings are justified because not everyone understands but yet there has to be some trust people can put between friends can't they? Face it everyone goes through these stages, some just cope with it differently but bottling it up is no answer regardless, just take the plunge and tell someone because no one wants to experience another Columbine. No one is ever alone, don't get into that kind of mindset because it will slowly eat you away until you are nothing more, know that everyone experiences it once in awhile but those who are alright chose to act against it. Everyone should do the same. Nobody likes being alone and yet nobody is ever really alone, rather it is only how we perceive and interpret ideas that cause us to believe we are alone. You are not.

P.S: Loneliness is but an adjective, a word made real by those who live by it and can't break free of it's entanglement. But strength alone can not set you free rather you must set your mind free in order to see light even in the darkest of caves.

Haters

Hate all you want I did not make you read my posts, you choose to waste your time reading it under your own influence. Liking what I write is a different story. Quoting anonymous "can you make a single post without making silly assumptions?" the answer is simple Yes I can, I just choose not to where is the fun in that? Honestly I love comments whether they be constructive or a childish insult towards me, because that means there are two considerations. Either they agree with my post or they disagree and simply cannot find strong enough words to express themselves, so they resort to petty insults. (Refer to the comments in Religion) Now for an assumption, there must be some reason for people to post negatively on my blog. It must mean that my posts simply get to them, there is no other motive that I can think of for them to respond in such a way. Either they cannot accept the fact that I am right or they have another opinion, sadly in my case it is usually the former. Just remember that the reader chooses what to read, when you pick up a book and you dislike it do you continue to read it? Just like the book, if you do not enjoy my writing just stop reading it. Now do not let this post dissuade you readers from posting, in fact I welcome it as long as it is constructive in any sort negative or positive. Just bear in mind that while being the hater may be fun, but no one likes a hater. You may feel that you are witty, but you are not. If you are then congratulations, you have my sincerest respect

Lectures

If you have ever sat through a 3 hour lecture in University you would understand what I mean. A 3 hour lecture is just ridiculous, after the first hour your attention towards the professor has diminished continuing for another hour is just a waste of time. By the end of the 3 hours you would have learned nothing and you would be tired. Information would not have been encoded properly and you would not remember anything past the first hour. So why do Professors insist on talking for 3 hours with 10 min breaks between intervals, instead of 2 hours, or better yet an hour. I expect the professors to be tired from talking so much, talking is perhaps more energy consuming than sitting in a cramped chair for 3 hours. In my opinion professors who have lectures over 2 hours simply have nothing better to do with their time then to talk to students, they are those who can not think of any other place they would rather be than in the school. They have no place to be afterward when the classes end, they are the loners. Why is it that whenever hour classes end the professor always have places to go to? Think about it hour classes are rarely in the evening like from 11-12pm whereas the 3 hour lectures are always the latest time possible, around 6-9pm. Those professors just live a boring existence they are the ones with a weird accent and always stutter, unsure if what they are about to say. I may be a bit harsh here but face it, no one likes sitting in a 3 hour lecture in cramped seats listening to a man drone on and on about a picture and how it relates to human perception. We get tired and we stop listening, not only is it a waste of your time but it also wastes our time. Time we could be using to do something else. I don't despise those kind of professors and I have no evidence to support my claims against them, but it just seems like the logical assumption, why else would they stay so late. I mean they leave right after the evening class and they do not teach in the morning. No one should have to suffer through a 3 hour or longer lecture, in my opinion it just is not practical.

Drinking

To young adults such as myself the only entertaining part of a wedding is the open bar. Never have I had so much free alcohol, and as it may be a temporary relief of happiness the outcome of tomorrows hangover would say otherwise. I have enjoyed the occasional drink or two and have always enjoyed the buzzed feeling, but never have I been fully hammered where my conscious self is unaware. I believe drinking is something you can do with friends and family, and I have no problems with it, but my only issue are those who choose to use alcohol as a temporary relief. There are those who seem to think that drowning in alcohol will make them feel better, and that may be so for the present but there are dire consequences in the future. I may have no right to lecture those who partake in this sort of action but think about it, does making yourself drunk and close to passing out really going to solve your problems? Everyone says confidence is key to success, have you ever considered taking the problems head on instead of destroying yourself slowly with a toxin. It's time to grow up and deal with the situations like an adult, this also applies to those who think smoking and drugs are a healthy alternative. I'm surprised by how many people think "Drinking is going to make all my problems go away, durrr" and then realize a couple years later they have alcohol poisoning or liver cancer. Then there are those who do it simply for attenion and sympathy, which is just pathetic. So please don't drown yourself in alcohol, there are much healthier alternatives that does not destroy your body slowly like talking to a friend about it, or counseling. Just learn to handle things like an adult, you have to remember you are not alone, you have friends who care and would probably be willing to carry your burden with you, afterall what are friends for?

Relationships (Guys)

How often do you overhear your friend break up with her boyfriend because she found out he was cheating, or that he was a jerk or something along those lines. It is as if once a guy is initiated into a relationship he treats the girl as nothing more than any other friend he drinks beer with and games with. Now not all of this applies to everyone for there are exceptions; but sadly it is a vast majority of guys. Then there are some guys have the nerve to ask why when the girl decides to break up. What is far worse is that girls have no way in telling and it results in heartbreak and distrust to the opposite sex, you may believe that you know everything about someone but appearances are only skin deep. Men act differently in front of women as opposed to when they are with other guys, again this only applies to a majority of guys. The only solution I can give for this dilemma is to wait, and see how this guy you fancy acts with his friends, because 80% of the time it will be the same way he treats you. Now the way I analyze these broken relationships results in 3 steps. The first is the good impression, guys show that side that you want to see and lull you into a false sense of security. The second is mid-stage of the relationship where his actual personality arises and you start fighting. And lastly is the heart wrenching break up which causes even more problems in an already twisted lifestyle. Unfortunately there is no way to stop these series of unfortunate events. You just have to remember that some guys are idiots who want a relationship simply for a relationship, and some just want it for the sake of status amongst their friends. Now I'm not bashing all guys because there are those who are the exact opposite. The basic message of this post is to all the guys, not all girls like jerks and if you are wondering why your relationships are always ending off in a bad manner, it is probably because of your personality. You should maybe think about your actions before you do it and consider the feelings of your girlfriend as opposed to what your friends think, status after all is overrated. If you can't understand even that I'll compensate and make it easier for you, it is simply to think with your head and not with your urges. To all the girls the only advice I can offer you is to wait and see, don't rush into a relationship you have a lot of time. Don't make your relationships into something you'll regret later on. Just remember there are a lot of fish in the sea, you just have to know which ones to throw back.

Plans

It dawned on me today that the seemingly harmless statement "nothing ever goes as planned" is true. It seems as though karma or some sort of otherworldly force prevents you from actually striving to your goal. In every respect, every turn there is a roadblock that you must face which changes everything you have planned up from the start. And yet we do so little about it, we seem to just accept that nothing can ever be planned to perfection. It seems as though all meager attempts to best this statement have proven unsuccessful. It may be depressing but all attempts to plan out your life will never always go according to what you say and we are helpless to stop it. Take for example the day of prom, you have bought everything you needed, planned everything, you are dressed up and ready to go, and yet something feels strange, and you realize you have a tear in your outfit 30 minutes before you arrive to prom.To put it simply it is best if you do not plan at all lest you enjoy facing disappointment after disappointment. The way I see it, there is a straight line that is the day out that you planned, however some unsuspected occurrence reveals itself and the line strays from the path. As you move further along that path the lines become more skewed and messy, no longer following the original path, and the worst of the whole ordeal is that the problems build up together and form some sort of solid wall that you cannot get around. My rant is simply asking why we choose to accept the fact what we plan never goes as smoothly as it should, and why no one is attempting to best the statement. Why should our lives be filled with such things when it can be as smooth as the path we laid out in the beginning?

Religion

One of the many things people cannot seem to agree on nowadays, It went from a couple of simple religions like Christianity to all sorts of nonsense like Scientology, but more importantly in this generation how are we to know which religion is the right religion, how do we know if what we believe in is true. Well, that is all based on the self I guess but I think otherwise. There are no other true religions except for one, and that is Christianity. I get questions like how I know and I never knew how to answer before, but it dawned on me that it just is. But How can someone believe the bible when it is all human made? but let me ask you this, how can you trust anything if you think in the respect, all math, science everything in our world today was made by humans how can we believe any of it. The bible is absolute there is no error, those contradictions that have been made are not contradictions rather the books of the bible and passages are simply not read in order compared to the Hebrew scrolls. Simply put the order of passages are mixed up in the English NIV version of the Bible. I myself being a Christian believe that it is my responsibility to at least share with you the grace of God but I never had the time nor the confidence to share, until now. To all non- believers I simply have one thing to say, you are all dirty and broken, you are going to die and go to hell and you need the love of God. I am not saying all your troubles will go away after you say you believe; it doesn't work like that rather you will find joy. Ever feel like there is something wrong with the religion you're in like there is a nudge at you, at your core. That is the feeling when your spirit is linked with God, face it there is no escape because he made you and created you. Quoting a passage it simply states that if you deny him, he will deny you in the court of heaven simple as that. So I urge everyone to just think about it, we are all dirty and broken and undeserving of God's love yet he gave us a chance, so don't waste it and live eternally in happiness. This all sounds far fetched but give it a chance and some time. Just as there is an artist to create the picture on the canvas, there must be an artist that created the universe. To all the Christians out there, it urge you to stay strong and embrace the persecution you receive because God is always with you, especially during persecution. I know I will probably be yelled at, people will deny my blog and label it as trash and whatnot, but have you ever considered that I may be right and you may be wrong? As I said in the beginning we live in such a world that people are confused about the true religion, but I hope I have shined some light on this matter, Kudos to all the Christians out there dying simply because they believe in true religion.

Relationships (Hints)

For those of you romantics out there have you ever come across this familiar scenario? "You are in a position where you simply adore this girl, but you have no way of telling whether or not she shares your feelings towards her, but you decide to go for it". Quite frankly it happens to the majority of guys out there and we all know what the conclusion to this scenario will be, nothing more than a shot down and a broken heart. But you ask what of those who are successful? To put it simply they were lucky nothing more nothing less. Have you ever wondered why you can never tell if a girl likes you or not, well it's because they don't give out hints or act any differently than they normally do. Face it, it is impossible to tell if a girl likes you or not, it's like taking a shot in the dark with a blindfold. The purpose of this is just to tell girls to give hints, give a guy some way to know that you like him, make his life easier with less rejection and depression. Simply put, if you want to put an end to the sappy poems that boys write after they have been rejected make their life easier give them a hint. We all know how the story ends up, there are two scenes: 1) They act like nothing happens 2) things become awkward and they no longer talk, scene 1 rarely happens. I've taken the liberty to ask a couple of my friends on this matter, and the results were as follows, all the girls I have asked act no different than their normal behavior when they like a guy. On the opposite side I asked the boys if they knew if that girl liked them, their answer was no. To the females who say that men don't give hints either are completely wrong. Guys always give "hints" when they like you. I will list the simplest while there are others that are extreme: Compliments, wanting to spend time together more often, getting closer, talking more often, texting etc. These are simple and kinda obvious hints that show a guy likes you. So you have no right to say we don't give out hints, when we like you, you should know right away because of changes in behavior. Take me for example, people say I can be a jerk, but when I'm around a girl I simply adore, my attitude becomes nice, my whole attention goes to her. What I'm trying to say is girls should just notice hints and not give the guy any hopes if you don't share the same feeling, and lastly to just give off a little hint to make our life a little easier and not make our life a world of rejection after rejection. How else are guys to know? simple they don't.

P.S: Lets end this game and finally take the blindfolds off.

First Post

I don't know about you guys but I never thought of blogging to be cool or anything of the sort. I never understood why people seemed to enjoy writing their feelings and lifestyle and such on these things, but I realize now it is great for expression, especially when you need to vent or to break out of the cold cage that is your world. There are a many things that I could talk about now in the present but I will wait a day before speaking about it anymore. In all honesty I'm glad i started a blog because now I have a place to speak my feelings and thoughts and not have to worry about anything, because what are the chances that people will actually read my post? I'm actually content by the fact I'm letting complete strangers or friends listen to what I have to say because think about it, how often are you able to speak your mind without being ridiculed by others or fear of ridicule. I guess it might just be me but I'll enjoy updating this blog, whether or not people read it or follow it is none of my concern but I'm glad I now have a great place to talk and maybe share my insights to people or no one.
