Starting up WoW again
Yeaaaaahhh. And surprisingly, it hasn't completely sucked me in. I do things, play my characters...and yet...i don't feel a big urge to play it as much as I used to. I like to go on and play with friends. But I also make sure not to forget some people in real life. Even those who play don't play WoW. I can't really see myself getting completely submerged into WoW...unless I'm all by myself or if I become depressed. But I can see myself only becoming depressed from one reason, but I highly doubt it. So yeah. I'm going to try to start recording my thoughts and attitudes almost every day. That way I can document my attitudes towards WoW. So far, i've played some WoW today and I feel fine. And that I don't have a big urge to play. Let's see how long this lasts.

What areee youuuu doinnnn'
Heh. It's been a while since I've done a blog. But then again, I don't expect people daily checking my stuff to see if I wrote a new one. Anyways, I've been busy.
The first thing I wanted to talk about was a discussion I had with some friends. We were talking about how younger generations are growing up into a more tech dependent society. They are being socialized into the interweb at younger ages. There are 2nd life like games for all ages. Theres World of Warcraft. There's xbox-live. There are just so many online interactive ways for people to interact with people. This is the new way of life. People are meeting people online. It's always nice to have real life friends, but now people are making online friends.
The topic eventually changed. Now my friends started talking about advances in technology and human life. A friend was talking about how premature babies will be born instead of regular ones in the future, because of advances to technology. I told him that it could be possible, but under one constraint. For more babies to be born prematurely, there would have to be a cause to make them come out prematurely. Like maybe something happened to our world and all babies from there on were born prematurely. Or maybe there was some advantage of being born prematurely in the genes. So eventually the premature born babies outnumbered the regular born ones and simply replace the human population. It's crazy to think about. Mutation and genes are very interesting. Our society and world is changing so much and yet it seems so small and insignificant compared to our everyday lives. We are experiencing history.

The Laziness of an Individual
So here I am. I was writing these damn journal things for my Internship when I realized that some aspects would make a good blog. I wanted to talk about laziness. Partly because in my Internship journal, I had to write about how many people did not show up to work during some of the weeks.
Now think about this for a second. How lazy are you? Are you the simple lazy? Where all you want to do is just sit down and kick back. Do you get hungry for a certain type of food, but you're all: "meh, that'll take time to go get/make". Do you make a mess in your room and just look at it thinking: "ehh. i'll get to it later". Yeah. I feel you there. We're all pretty lazy in some way or form. But for me, it's to an extent.
For example, take my job. I work for a dining center on campus. Yeah. I know....annywayyys, I never call in sick and go to work whenever I have to. If I can't make it, I get a substitute (which isn't too often). It is an easy and simple job. You could be as dumb as rocks and not get fired from that job. It is an extremely easy campus job. NOW, I always see people trying to get substitutes and people to take their shifts because they are "busy" or "have school shit to do". Bull shit! I know what you did there. I don't know why they just can't go to work and be lazy there. That's what I do. Sure I get lectured and people are always telling me what to do, but I get paid to do that. In business, that is what we call profit. The benefits of going to work and barely doing shit vs the benefits of not going to work and chilling with your friends greatly outweighs the not going to work. Why you ask? Well its simple. Money buys you shit. For example, alcohol. I go to work, make money, get alcohol with that money and have a better time with my friends than if I were to not make money and just play some game with them.
"But my friends are cooler than work!"...All I have to say about that is that you probably shouldn't be working then if you want to spend more time with friends and all that. Now I understand if people don't want to go to work if they are sick, have important plans that will affect their life (note: i said important. drama doesn't count), and anything else like that; it is understandable. But come on people! Work gets you money. And last I heard, money is good. Well...at least thats what people have been telling me.
I think the thing that bugs me most, in my job, is when someone constantly gets substitutes for work and then complains about being "poor" and not making enough money. First off, they should go to work instead of complaining about money. It's their fault they wanted to do whatever it was instead of working. Secondly, they are NOT poor (i'm talking about people at my work). I do not care what they say, they are going to college and that does not make them poor. Do you know what I consider poor? Poverty. Living in an apartment, driving a car, eating everyday....that is not poor. Whoever said that college students are poor should be thrown out of a window and then beaten with a finely trimmed tree branch. But yea, theres a reason why people constantly getting subs bugs me. It hurts my self benefit. If people are getting constant substitutes, say a different person each time, then they are new to the rotation of habitual motion (I just made that term up, I'm trying to say that they are not in the loop). This then affects me. Somewhere in the chain, some shit goes down and I have to pay the price one way or another.
Example: Working dishes. Usually we have an everyweek thing where everybody knows their roles and does their stuff so the people working dishes (us) get out on time. Now if you replace different work stations with substitutes, then you create chaos. These new players don't know shit and mess with us. In turn, those of us who are used to the laid back lazy pattern have to work extra hard to pick up the slack. That's fucked up.
So yea, look at your life and see if you can apply this laziness to anything. In one way or another, someone's laziness is going to negatively affect you. Mine? My laziness negatively affects the customers to the dining center. Meh. I would say on average, about 92% of people's laziness negatively affects other people weekly. Anways, I should probably get back to work on my Intership journals.

I'm as bored as a camel
Surrounded by games, television, movies and tv series at my disposal...I find myself bored. Well I could draw....the key word being COULD. And right at this moment I am listening to songs from the Sonic game for SEGA, back in the day. I am also looking at old pictures of myself. I have changed a lot. Just makes you think...if you could go back in time..
Anyways, my random thought for today has to do with superpowers. For example, the power to fly, turn invisible, read minds, etc. If you could have one power...what would it be? Personally, I'd choose magnetism. With magnetism I could fly, lift heavy metal objects, open my car door with a simple finger gesture, throw a pedestrian off his bike because he's in my way, shove a car into a ditch because they flipped me off, etc. You get the point. But I also like magnetism because it is not an all powerful power. Remember what they did to Magneto in the xmen movies? yea.
When I ask people this random question about which power they want, I usually get disappointed. The people that don't care give me simple crap like: flight, eat a lot and not get fat or to shoot out spaghetti out of their fingers. They don't take the question seriously and are just trying to satisfy my question with an answer. And then theres the people with the god-like abilities that apparently have no weakness. They want to be able to teleport, stop time, travel through time, and never be touched. I hate these answers because they argue that they have no weaknesses, when that is not true. You can't run around the desert naked and not get burned. (weird analogy). But yes, someway or other, you have a weakness; a flaw. There is no such thing as all powerful without weakness. Just doesn't happen like that.
I think that is all for now. Till next time....
extortion >:d

CHIMPS!!
Chimps...I don't like them! They're up to something....One minute they're standing there smiling at you. But as soon as you leave, they turn into homicidal creatures! Say you are in a room with a chimp and your friend deer. You leave the room to go get some tea. When you come back, the chimp has killed your friend deer and is eating him! WTF chimp?! I'll kill you!! Oh, and you best not have your back turned on a chimp with a gun in the room. That chimp will not hesitate to kill you.Another reason why I don't like chimps is because they gave humans the bug. Started with some guy who wanted to F' some chimps. He caught the bug and gave it to humans. These disgusting chiiimmmpps. Oh god. Full of diseases. Why are people touching these monkays. Walking around, gathering sicknesses and spreading them.
Some people say to me: "Why do you hate chimps so much? They're funny."
BAH! They are not funny, unless they are falling out of a tree, getting mauled by an animal or being hunted. Chimps...Oh, I also don't like chimps because of Planet of the Apes. I saw the old version long ago and did not like these damn apes. But as soon as I saw the new version...I hated both chimps and the movie. lol. Oh god, I also remember sitting through a movie about this chimp being sent through space, and how this kid helped the damn thing remain calm or something. I was yelling, "Let the CHIMP DIEE!!"
Ugh..chimps...watch out for them. They are dangerous and i'm pretty sure they're up to something...
what I am all ABOUT!
Everyone loves something. I was thinking about this today. These simple pleasures in life are things that make life awesome. That would really suck if you lived a life where there was nothing that brought you pleasure. F' that. That sounds like you're already dead. So I thought I'd share my brain and write about a few things that I love.
I love Raspberry Iced Tea...
This stuff is great. One of the best drinks in the world. If I could drink one liquid for the rest of my life, it would be this. It makes any of my meals so much better. And if you don't like it...well I just don't know what to say. Now I just feel insulted thinking about it.
I love Happy Teriyaki...
One of my favorite places. I get the same meal every time. My happyness level is always at it's peak when i'm at this place. I think this is one of the sole reasons I go back home.
I love electronics....
Theres just something about playing with new technology. We live in an age where electronics are changing and getting better at an exponential rate. 5 years ago, would you have thought that a good amount of us would have an Ipod that has a touch the screen?! I bet if someone had told me that 5 years ago, I would have said that they were some type of crazy monkay.
I love winning at games....
Nothing feels better than beating another person. Feeling the glory and challenge of beating a person that could be better than you. Beating weaker people can be fun to a point. Then after that, you just want to beat these good people. The challenge....the hunt...and being able to beat and smack talk little kids. What now Lil' Kiki?!
I love being liked...
Now this doesn't always have to be with the relationship like. I like being that guy that people are all: "yeaaaahhhh, this guy right here....". It is awesome. When friends are happy to see you, when you go somewhere and everybody knows your name...lol. But i guess being liked by girls in that way is also awesome. It's too bad i usually find out that the girls that like me are weird or have some problem. And the ones that I would have liked back...I never find out. But still, it is awesome being liked.
These are just a few of many things I love. I just wanted to say enough of them to get the point out. Be all about the yeeeaaahhh. Maybe eat a banana. Which reminds me that my bananas look like they're getting bad. I should chuck them off my porch. Oh shit, I should have wrote first that I love to be imaginative, aka draw, write and think. Oh well. Today, I recommend people getting a hot pocket w/ some string cheese. Ahhhhhh yeeeaaahhh. Oh, and if anyone ever wants to get me a gift, get me a raspberry iced tea. I'm running low
