Lack of Creativity

Lack of creativity is something that I have been dealing with for the last month. It's getting to the point where I'm slowly driven insane by the fact. You see, I need to do something creative to live, to feel, to survive. Without it, I'm nothing and the fact that I miss it is not helping.

This also includes writing to the creativity drain. It seems like just trying to think of something to write about is getting harder. And just staring at a blank page for hours at a time just hoping something will come and nothing will. I guess the first thing to do to get my creativity back to do try to attempt something creative.  Time to open Photoshop since God knows when and I just hope I can make something good.

More Life Ramblings

School today was pretty okay for me. Nothing really exciting happening to me today and thus meaning an average day for me. Basic Musicianship was short today for me since all we had was just a quiz to take. As for the quiz, to be honest I'm not sure how I did on it and all I keep thinking about is the final for that class and the amount of studying and practice work I will be doing for it. I do have to say that

English today was weird. Due to the fact that there is only three people (including me) in that class now since everyone dropped the course. Sure, I was expecting one or two people dropping the course but almost the whole class? Nothing I've seen before that's for sure. Anyway, since there are only three of us and the last few weeks of the class is going to spent working on our final we are now going to meet at elven to twelve on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Looks like there will be no more sleeping in on those days for me.

At least tomorrow is Friday and that's something to look forward to.

Of Fire and Inventions

There have been many different inventions that were very useful for this world. If I had the time, I could just name off plenty of them. Or at least the ones I can think from the top of my head at the moment. For me, there is one that I do believe was important for most inventions or the start of them.

Fire

Yes, like the wheel fire is important part of it. With the discovery of fire shows the growing intelligence the caveman had. It starts with natural instincts such as hunting and gathering. Ways of life to live and help them survive in the dog eat dog world. Fire starts off the evolution and starts on our way to be the people that we are. And with fire leads to more discoveries like the creation of the wheel. All in all, fire is important to us and in discoveries in general.

Urban Dictionalry Post Number Two

Why yes, here is another Urban Dictionary post! I have to say that only one today from me. But I have to say that this one is sure another classic. Or at least I do.

front-seat back-seat dilemma

The inability to decide which seat to take due to the quantity of friends both "kickin' in the front seat" and "sittin' in the back seat." Characterized by indecision and anxiety as the individual has "gotta make their mind up."

Because when we were twelve years old and driving cars, it was such a hard time to choose what seat to take. Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Of Time and Fast Food

The fast food article sure wasn't that hard for me to think of what to write about. To be quiet honest, I really don't know why people like it so much. Sure, once in a while I'll get something to eat there but I'm more likely to stop for some coffee to be quiet honest.

I guess when it comes to a quick meal, it would be the first thing someone can think of. Sure it saves time and its cheap if you are looking at the dollar menu. What I'm saying is if someone has the time to stop at some fast food place, then why don't they have the same time to find something to eat at home? Easy, because we are busy people and we don't have the time to do so. Try to find some time in a day to stop and slow down. Even if it is a few minutes to clear your head and catch your breath. It's a step and that is the best way to start.

Stupid Questions

I love it when someone decides to give out the statement on "There is no such thing as a stupid question". Well, that is a lie. There is such a thing about having a stupid question and the people who ask them. Sure, every once in a while we ask a stupid question ourselves but we are human and thus we are not perfect.  I've never asked any stupid questions but I know for a fact that I have thought up some during class and during my free time.

I guess you can say that there are many different categories of stupid questions that they can fall into. From the very little to the "How did you manage to pass elementary school" type. Over the years, I get less patient when it comes to these types of questions. Plus I guess it doesn't help that I don't understand people and I will never will.

"On the outside I am calmer, inside I'm a freak, something from my darker side is forcing me to speak "

Today has been pretty eventful for me if I say so myself. Of course, school is usually eventful for me and I did register for my fall classes. If I pass everything I will take the following: English 102, Music Theory I, Music Theory Lab I, my bass lessons, Tech. of Audio Recording I and Human Sexuality. Mostly because I find it fascinating and it wouldn't hurt to learn more about it.

I had my written part of the CPR section in my first aid class today and it went pretty well. At least we won't have to work on CPR anymore and we can move onto other topics. But I still have to finish up on my project for that class that is due on Monday. Thankfully I picked depression and that is an easy and personal topic for me and if I'm lucky, I can finish it around Saturday night. Modern History was okay and the usual lectures with some video and sarcastic comments thrown in. I guess that's what makes the class a bit more enjoyable for me. Of course, any class that has sarcasm thrown in is a good class for me!

On Research Topics

Research topics, a very important thing to have when writing a paper. Over the years, I have learned about what topics to choose from when writing a paper that will keep your interest and not drive you insane. And I had had that one year of high school that I was driven insane from the term paper that I had to do and I never want to do anything on the August 5th bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ever again.

They are important like a these statement to tell the audience what the paper is about and where it is going to. You also want to captivate the reader long enough to make your points and tell them what you think of the topic. Also, you have to remember not to shove it down their throats and you have to balance both sides of the issue and not be so worked up over the thing you believe in. That is why you have to keep an open mind when it comes to these things and the people too.

Of course there are some topics that I love to do a paper on. I think the top three topics if I had to choose that I would love to do are:

Animal Crulity
Depression
The Myths of the Gothic Subculture

'Motion-controlled' e-mail and other April Fools' Web pranks

Ah yes, April Fool's Day or as some like to call it National Gullibility Awareness Day. Today is a time where you try to pull off pranks on the internet to fool people. Or try to if I say so. I have to say this year for me was more reality than jokes and I just wish that the cops coming to my dorm room for a arrest warrant for one of my roommates was a joke. But I have to say that my last two days of being eighteen are going to be interesting.

For the internet to pull a prank, they usually do the same thing over and over. Most common is the I'm leaving this site and deleting my account trick that people do every year. As you can tell, that doesn't fool anyone who has known these pranks every year. From what I experience, people on the internet tend not to enjoy today and get really upset if they get pranked. People just don't have a sense of humor like they used to anymore. They just need to lighten up and not take things so seriously.
