Haha

Just read the last paragraph of my last post. Hahahaha.

By the way, anybody have an idea how to change the name of this blog?
I don't want to get rid of it, but it has a stupid name.

Just About Life

I find it sad that it has taken me 6 months to post another thing on my blog. I hadn't thought it'd been that long, but I guess it had. It's even sadder that I only do this becuase I just watched Quarantine and I don't want to go to sleep yet. No, I'm not a pansy who gets scared, and that movie wasn't scary, but I know not to try to go to sleep within 5 minutes of finishing a movie that's even supposed to be scary. Yes, I'm behind times, but I'm catching up on movies that we can watch whenever we want because of "On Demand."

There's a lot more that I could go on to talk about now, but it is 3:21 in the morning and I'm tired and I really had wanted to wake up earlier than I have been, and I probably still will. Time to get some sleep around here. I titled this "Just About LIfe" because this is hopefully the start of a spree where I'll explain what has been going on in my life.

So, for now: Peace Out!

Kinda Depressed, Kinda Happy

Some of you may know (people who are from the forum and read that post) that I recently had a family member seriously hurt in the war and that's the sad.
-
I'm just happy because the rest of my life has been pretty amazing and all and has been very quiet and serene the past few days.

Just Saying I'm Here

I just love it that everytime I try to stay on the internet, I get thrown something in real life that keeps me off of it for a while. Just ask a few of the pastelforum people. I was gone for 3 days. I posted about 10 times in there just to let them know I'm still alive, but I feel bad for just leaving them.
-
Also, does anybody read these anymore? I know I don't post every day. I might just start posting everything that goes on in my day just so that I'm on here more. Please tell me if you're reading this.

I Haven't Used This In A While

I was just coming on here to basically say that I've been busy lately. This is a thing that happens to me. Even though it is summer and I have weightlifting mon-thurs and a job on mon, wed, and thurs nights, I have nothing else actually that I have to do.
-
It just seems that I happen to start losing track of time and then I don't get onto the sites that I usually get on, specifically Pastel Forum, which I need to get on and stay on forever. Then because I've missed so much that I don't want to come back.
-
This isn't so much as a "life lesson" or a "meaning of life" though provoking statement. This is just something I've noticed about myself and am sure that most people have done before too.

Running

At the time that I am writing this, I don't believe there will be any deep meaning behind of this, but I'll write anyway.
-
Yesterday, I got an urge to run. Yeah, I know right? When I told my girlfriend this, she had me repeat what I said so she could savor those words for one moment, because I'm not a runner and she is. I then went outside and satisfied my urge to run.
-
I ran a total of 2 miles straight and I have never done such a feat before. In the past year, the most I'd run was close to a mile, most of the time, I had only ran half a mile at most, and the most I'd ever run in my life prior to that was a mile and a half. Needless to say, I was in pain the rest of the night. How did I make it through 2 miles? I don't know, because my mind just shut off and it was just running. I forgot about everything, only when the pain got so bad in my legs did I even think and that was only saying "a little further" over and over in my mind until I finally lost all thought again.
-
This goes to prove a statement that I have always said: Runners are mentally insane. It is a simple equation that you must use to prove that this accusation is true. To be able to run, you have to not think at all and if you don't think at all, you are not using your mind, and possibly even not in your mind. Well, if your not in your mind, then where are you? Out of your mind, that's where. Finally, out of your mind is a common phrase used for crazy people and crazy people are also classified as mentally insane.
-
So, the equation is:
Running=Not using mind=not in mind=out of mind=crazy=mentally insane
-
I believe I have proven my point.

The Meaning of Life

Today, I had a fairly easy going day, but then I went to this two hour long meeting. The meeting was about the Marine Biology class that I'm going to apply for and it seems pretty stunning. A picture that the teacher took of it, is right here and you can see just how beautiful it is.

-

I am not usually one to talk about God and life, because I'm easy going, laid back, and I'm definitely not a hardcore christian in the slightest. Life has never mattered to me. This isn't to say I don't care about other people who are allive and I don't care about their lives, but the meaning of life and the fact that we're here doesn't. Humans on Earth just so happens to be a thing that is reality. If anything, you would know me to be a strong believer in evolution. At this meeting, there were a ton of things that just blew me away. Not that the teacher was doing things to make us think about life and God, but rather I just got into that thinking mode.

-

There were just so many pictures of the trip that they go on towards the end of the year. Just seeing the beauty of each individual creature-- fish, octopus, snails, slugs --was just stunning. There had to be something that at least have been touched by a god, if not THE God. This isn't to say anything about me changing my point of view. In fact, my view point has remained unchanged, except the idea that God exists is now more firmly in my mind.

Then I got around to thinking about the meaning of life; what about life is so special? What makes people happy? Why does it? This really happened to me when one picture came up on his slideshow. It was of two kids in front of a shabby-ish, but sturdy, building and they had just had such bright and smiling faces. These two little kids had nothing that we have and, yet, they were so happy.

-

I believe that everyone, at least in the extremely populated areas of the world, happens to be forgetting the true way to live and what it means to be happy, myself included. Our world is slowly being taken over by technology. This isn't a bad thing. I know some of the people that will read this are people I never met, but talk to over the internet on a forum site. They are some really nice people that without technology, I would of never known. In fact, what I want to become is a computer engineer; there is almost nothing that is more technology based than that. However, our technology is consuming our lives. I spend most of my time on a computer, an iPod, on a phone texting, or anything else electronic. I love doing it, but have we lost what it means to be happy? True happiness doesn't depend on things. Those two children proved that. Happiness is really based off of being around other people.

-

I am no exception to the idea that our world is becoming less and less friendly. I have people I dislike and people I just plain hate, but our world needs more loving than hating and at least I can say out of all of the things I've said here, that this is one that I actually do. I may have some people I dislike and hate, but I have so many more that I am great friends with and would help out with their problems no matter what and I have a girlfriend that I love so much. Why can't most of the world just learn to deal with most of their problems, instead of causing more, and just get along and be happy?
