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

It won't make sense
My arm hurts. My body hurts. But this is because I fell down a hill multiple times. And i'm pretty sure I fell when I almost got home. Waking up with my arm all bloody the next morning really opened my eyes. Not about drinking, but about how dirty I was living. I hadn't cleaned my kitchen and bathroom in months. My floor was littered with dirty clothes, books and plastic bags for some reason. Empty drink bottles surrounded my computer. I was living a simple dirty life. So today I changed that. Cleaned all of that shit. Even the toilet (pun intended. haha). But yea, now this makes me think about a random question.
If you could choose between 3 talking bears, which would you choose?
Speaking of bears, I saw pandas on the tv today. I did not know they looked like that when they are born. I was all: OMG! hahah.
If you could choose between 3 talking bears, which would you choose?
- The first bear is awesome. It is all around a good bear. It likes you and provides you good company. But you would have to change your current living styles for this bear.
- The second bear is pretty incredible. But you only think it is incredible because you only see it drunk. It seems to like you and you think you don't really have to change your current living styles, but you would have to be constantly drunk to see it; you don't know if the bear would come if you were sober.
- The third bear is hilarious and awesome. It does funny things. You don't have to change your lifestyle at all for this bear. The only problem is, you don't know what the bear wants. It could just be doing it's funny thing and then disappear one day.

And you wanted to beat a chimp....
Yea, that title has nothing to do with this blog. lol. I just couldn't come up with a blog heading. I just wanted to write about some crazy things that have happened in the past two weeks. The first thing I wanted to talk about was about piss.
It really sucks when you wake up and wonder how you got home that night. It is even worst if you walk up to your clothes only to step in a wet spot on your carpet. Yeah. I know. That sucks! So when I woke up that morning and stepped in it, I thought to myself: "No...No...nononononononOOOOO!!!!"
I then touched the wet spot and sniffed it. The pungent smell of urine. Urine....URINE!!! I stood up and raised my fists into the air and yelled upward: "PISSSSSSS!!!!!!"
This really sucked. It was also the second time I did this. But this time I cleaned it later that day, instead of waiting a month later. Anyways, my advice to you (whoever you are), is to control your pissing. I developed this bad habit of pissing by copying this dude i know one drunk night. OH! other things you probably shouldn't piss in/on:
The next topic I wanted to talk about is something I wish more guys could do. I wish there was more respect for other competitors in the finding a female. I guess I'm going to be serious for this. To explain, I'll tell my story. So I was at this party. There was about an even ratio of male-female. I was getting to know this chick that my friends wanted to hook me up with. Suddenly, this other guy just goes in and doesn't give me a chance to leave an impression. I guess I lost in this competition because I wasn't aggressive enough. Now, I am not an aggressive person. I wouldn't steal a chance for another guy (especially a friend) to get a relationship out of the girl. And I especially wouldn't try to hit on a girl that has a boyfriend. I guess this is why I am all about the random play and not the relationships.
I just now thought of something. Life is a competition. You start off by meeting other players, you play the game, and those who are aggressive enough win the game. Or at least they think they do. The truth is, they are constantly fighting in the competition to hold onto their win. There is always someone or something trying to get what you have. There is no real winner in the competition. And there really is no loser either. Unless you give up and stop competing altogether.

Enjoying the Outdoors
I was looking at my blog and was surprised I did not talk about this subject. Being a man, the most beneficial perk (in my mind) is the ability to take a piss anywhere. Examples:
"what the hell are you looking at?! if you don't like it just move on!"
Which brings me to another thing I hate. People who are disgusted or mad at what you are doing, but continue looking at you.
Urinating in the outdoors is a tradition passed down by our ancestors and even our chimp-like ancestors. HELL, all our ancestors. Some of our society rejects outdoor urination because the toilet is the norm and outside is deviant. I believe outdoor urination is fine, as long as it is not all over my stuff.
So the next time any of you guys feel like going outside, and you are not scared of people seeing your junk, take a piss. Live a little bit. And watch out for those police or anti-pissing people.
- I'm drunk and someone is taking their sweet time in the ONLY bathroom. I go outside and piss
- I am walking outside and suddenly have to piss. I go find a tree or just go in a shaded area
- I am driving a long drive and there is no rest stop for another hour. I pull over
"what the hell are you looking at?! if you don't like it just move on!"

Short Entry about Pandas
I am trying to find a topic for my Environmental Sociology class and I found a funny little article talking about a panda biting people.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/01/09/panda.attack/index.html?iref=newssearch
It made me laugh. Why would people go down into an animal pen and NOT expect to be hurt. My favorite quote was:
"A year earlier, state media reported that a drunken tourist tried to hug the panda, who bit him. In an odd twist, the tourist reportedly bit back."
I laughed really hard at that. Imagine a drunk guy (most likely American) going into the zoo. He then has this great idea to get in the pen and hug that panda. Just because it would be awesome; not to mention its a PANDA. As soon as the guy hugs the panda, the panda bites him. Angered in his drunken state, the man does the first thing that comes to mind. He bites the panda back. I don't know about you guys, but this amuses me greatly.
Edit: haha, i found more information on the subject

Bears
Bears. They may seem like cute/cool animals for our amusement...but they are really sneaky powerful creatures.
Fact: Bears can't run downhill well
Fact: Bears will release their bowels when fighting
Fact: A Black Bear is known not to attack humans unless it fears for it's cub's safety.
Fact: You are more likely to get hit by a car than attacked by a bear
Well actually...I made up that last one. But it kinda sounds true. Anyways, bears are dangerous, no matter how funny they look. I used to look at bears as giant hamsters. But, as I became more educated, I found out that they are more related to the canine family. I can see that. They are like bulky dogs that can climb trees.
Another thing I wanted to talk about was domestication of bears. I have friends that say that it is possible, and other friends that say that it isn't. The answer is simple. You can train a bear to be friendly, dance or anything else like that, BUT, the domestication does not get passed onto the cubs. That is why trainers are always needed to socialize the new cubs into captivity. Bears are just one of many creatures that are not bred into automatic domestication. It's a shame too. Imagine the possibilities. Bear cavalry....packs of bears to hunt people...dancing bears. Well actually, there are people that get bears just to make them dance. It's kinda sick. I youtubed "dancing bear", with the intent of finding a funny video of a bear dancing to a song. When I scrolled through the searches, I found one about a type of bear in the asia area I think. It had rope that went into it's nose and around its head. It then had to dance whenever it's master made it. The first thought that came to mind was: "That's fucked up"
I believe that some animals should be domesticated, but I believe that they should be respected at the same time. I'm all down for a bear dancing, but I think a bear should dance naturally; not forced to dance with a rope put into it's body.
43% of bears, that dance, are abused (statistic not proven)
20% of those bears are forced to do nasty things (statistic also not proven)
But anyways...here is a random picture of bears that I got off wikipedia. I am so confused. lol

Reflections
So I was walking to work one day. On that walk, I remembered that I used to write short stories. I had a good laugh in my head remembering them. Then it hit me. I was fucked up in the head. I wrote some pretty nasty shit. My stories had sex and gore. Not only that, but a common reoccurance in my stories was the vivid paragraphs of my friends getting molested/raped. I mean what the fuck?! Why would I go into detail about writing my good friends into a story, only to have them get anger fucked in the ass or partake in a forced devil's triangle. Meanwhile, me (being the awesome person) becomes the badass hero or just lets his friends get sodomized.
You can all calm down now, I don't think or write stories anymore about that stuff. But it did get me thinking about how I should start writing again. It was a care-free way of taking out my anger (vent) through creative expression. At least I think that was why there was blood, sweat, tears and semen in my story. Well...im not sure. I have forgotten a lot of things about my high school self. So yea, people are probably wondering what I am going to write. Personally, I would want to write a story with a hidden meaning in it. But we shall see.
Another thing I wanted to talk about is perception vs reality. Everyone sees themselves differently than they really are. (except me, I see myself as awesome...and i simply am) But yea, I was wondering today if I am what I really think I am. Then immidiately started thinking what would it be like if I were one of the asians living under me. It would be a carefree life. Drinking and smoking everyday, constantly around friends, girlfriend? (or really close roommate), and enjoying life.
It really got me thinking about how he lived his life. But then I realized, its not for me. I'll drink, but everyday would hurt...and be expensive. Constant friends would be annoying. No personal time. No quiet time. NO TIME TO BEAT THE MEAT! Yea, fuck that. And his girlfriend? Not that hot.
But yea, fuck that. I wouldn't want that. Everyone has their own styles, likes and dislikes. You guys should try thinking more like this. It is pretty cool. I wouldn't suggest trying to be that guy. But I bet like 17% of you are.
I think it is important to be who you are, unless it it violates the norms of society. Then I suggest you keep things quiet...probably keep those things to yourself.

The Douche
I feel like describing a douche. (in my opinion) Of course some of you will have different opinions on a douche, but I am going to describe some characteristics of how I define a douche.
-A douche throws a beer at you
-A douche fucking follows you to every party; when not invited
-A douche will call you a raging homogay
-A douche is that guy that a lot of people hate
-A douche disagrees with your views
-A douche has publically disgraced or humiliated you
-A douche will cockblock you
-A douche will annoy you
I have a lot more, but i thought i'd leave it with that. A douche would qualify to be said "douche" if they at least did 4 of those things. Anyways, think of a person you do not like. Now imagine that they left your "usual surroundings" (the area/territory where you live your everyday life). Like most people, you would be happy that they are gone. But suddenly you get a call from a friend (another member in your "usual surrounding") and hear that the person you don't like is coming back temporarily. You figure that the chances of running into them is very slim and since they've been gone, other people's routines have changed to not involve them. (i.e. you would not see this person due to the adaptation of them leaving). But it never works like that. You go somewhere, such as a gather of friends, and find out that the person you don't like, a douche, is there. There is a phenomena that occurs when a friend invites this douche. Your friends are not perfect. I will explain in detail to why the douche was invited.
Say you have an in-group of friends; 8 total for example (this includes you).
-5 friends in the in-group do not enjoy the company of this guy
-2 friends are oblivious and do not see the same view as the other friends
-1 friend does not know the guy well enough to really judge
This is how life works. I believe the % of HATEage of the douchebag within friend settings is broken down like this
-62.5% of your friends will not like the douche
-25% of your friends will tolerate or like the douche
-12.5% of your friends have limited experience with the douche and will not judge yet
Within your 25% of friends, one of them has contacted and invited the douche. You will eventually run into them at such things as parties for example. This model only works when you base it off your in-group of friends. If you took into account other friend's in-groups, your data would not match mine.
This also has to deal with conformity. In an in-group of friends, the majority will conform to a collected sense. Hmmm...I should do more blogs like this...Well that is the end of my randomness. I guess thank you for reading this much.
