Y U NO BE HAPPY?

OOOK SOOO i was just cruising around facebook stalking like a champ and i came across a post on the questions section about abortion, and that she her husband is pushing for an abortion but she doesnt know. I knew once i read that it would be 1/2 "YOU CANT DO THAT THAT'S MMURRRDDDEERRRR". These are the exact same people that will be like, "he is an asshole if he is pressuring you" followed by "you have to abort otherwise you are a bad person". See my point? yeah yeah, and dont try and say they dont say that because i actually read some answers that had those 2 points in the same post.



People need to learn to back off their feelings and beliefs, some people grasp onto them as if its life or death, another example is when i am cruising across youtube music and i see people raging over someone talking smack about an artist. Like they are genuinely mad, i am 80% sure that most of these people would murder me for saying something like, "Eminem is a twat", if they could murder me without consequence they would, and why?

I have said this before a few times i think but putting these strong beliefs on yourself with only make you close minded, now there are multiple consequences to this, getting upset over nothing, getting angry over nothing, just really experiencing extreme emotions when you could be not feeling them. Its fine to have these beliefs but dont lean on them like they are life or death because they will only bring you down.
I fine myself repeating this but to be the best you can be you have to open your mind and be willing to accept other peoples beliefs no matter what it is, it doesn't matter if they are pro-abortion or anti-abortion, it doesn't matter if they are <name religion here>, no matter what you are and they are you should be able to hear what they say openly, and also at the same time not push beliefs of your own onto people. Looking down on someone as if they are a bad person because they aborted is not the right thing to do.

Which brings me back to why i actually posted this in the first place. The replies to this question really did annoy me, when someone comes to you with a serious life decision DO NOT force them into a decision with guilt and manipulation. I know it seems ironic coming from me as i use guilt and manipulation as tools all the time but i would never use them in a way that might influence the rest of someone's life in a negative way. When someone comes to you with a question, feel free to say you beliefs, but don't say "You can't abort that baby has a beating heart.". Sure you may believe it does, but that doesnt mean she should have to, when someone comes to you for help, help them, don't make things more difficult with external pressures.



A better reply would be "Abortion can sometimes be harder then you might think, you should sit down with your husband and have a honest talk with him about the options and what you should do, dont feel pressured by him whatsoever but remember that it will be his child too and ultimately what he wants is important too". I'm sure there is better advice then that, I'm no advice god and even if I am anti-abortion i will not hold my morals so close to my heart that when someone has an abortion i get genuinely offended (e.g. ahhh my god he called adele fat! MY EYYES ARE BLEEDING. closing e.g.) Its a waste of my time and energy. 

Anyway from now on most of my pictures are going to be hand drawn because i have found that the ones on the internet SUCCKK. and... i am aware my picture are legendary.

Stresss

So i am going through exams and it can be a stressful time, especially considering my laziness i tend to be quite unprepared for exams and there are a few things that i do to manage it.

First of all it is going to be stressful, learning to handle the stress and overcome it being able to still perform at your best is not an easy task to say the least. The worst possible thing you can do is be sitting outside the exam room, chest pounding, hands shaking and feeling light headed. You will get into that exam room and instantly blank out, forgetting everything you do know.

There are a few things i do, a few things to try and remember what i crammed and learnt and staying calm and complacent during the exam. I think the most important thing in every situation in life not just exams is if you find yourself stressed of extremely anxious take some time off, find some music that calms you, something to can relax to and 10 minutes before you go into that exam sit back and put it on. Sitting outside the exam room, hands shaking and freaking out whilst trying to cram in more information wont help at all, it will just make it worse.

Now I dont think this just applies to exams either, if you find yourself stressed in life or anxious about something, there are a few things you can and should do to help ease those feelings, first of all the best thing i think you can do is take some time off, sit back and relax, listen to music, read a book, watch your favourite movie, whatever it doesnt matter but pounding yourself into the ground isnt going to help you in the long run. I personally like to just sit back listen to music and play games, when i find myself worried about something that i cant do anything about ill thats what ill do, close my door and have some me time.

Sometimes its obviously not best to ignore it, it might even be better to try and clear it up. What i have to say about that is never be afraid to do what it is you have to do no matter who you have to step over. Keeping yourself happy is more important then keeping other people happy. (In some cases keeping other people happy will keep you happy but i obviously dont mean those people.)

SO just dont forget to step back and take some time off every once and a while, if you find yourself getting run down take a break, being too busy is generally not a good excuse. Being relaxed and feeling better will generally get you getting things done quicker and at a high quality anyway.

NERVOUSNESSESE

Oh man im getting nervous, i have an exam in a few hours and i dont think im entirely ready for it, i was looking at some of the previous exams and they were HARD. now im not nervous as in shaking everywhere, i just hve butterflies and a slightly heavy chest. I should be a lot more nervous right now considering i couldnt do the previous years exams but i know that being nervous to any major level will just throw me off and make me do worse so im trying my best to keep my composure.



I know i will most likely do fine and if i don't life will go on, it always works itself out and i know it will, ANNNYYWAAYYY to get my mind off of that the weather today is nice, i woke up this morning and it was pissing down, i was really not looking forward to going to uni in the rain, BUTT turns out its beautiful and sunny now and yet still im sitting in my room with all the curtains closed and the lights on, i really hate the earth. BURNNN MORE POWER

so after zoning out for like 5 minutes then, and thinking about the most randomest things on earth i will talk about one of those things, (i feel the other things are not suitable for releasing in public). Girls. HMM YES GIRLS, they are wonderful creatures, generally better then guys in most ways, most of the time. Now when im chatting to someone i dont know and they are nice and/or sweet and/or not a total jackass, if i guess they are a girl, there is 90% chance im right. Now you may say, Jeffrey you made that 90% up, and i would say, yes... yes i did. But regardless i am close enough and i dont care what anyone says girls are better then boys.


Yes i am being a traitor by saying that but on that point i am not joining the other side, no thank you. i will stay on  the boys side and watch them drive themselves into the earth. While my brain was thinking about all this, i came up with the question, why are indians so creepy (normally there are normal indians too), now i am not sure so i went to my fellow google. Now google didnt appear to share the same views, which upset me, i dont like google anymore. This means i have to make up a conclusion

So my conclusion is that its because girls are so awesome that it just drives them into a mental state known as the "creepy" state, now these people arent creepy at heart, but due to the effect of some girls, it drives them into a craze causing them to portray creepiness. So the conclusion of my conclusion is ITS THE GIRLS FAULT AARHH.

To finish up i havent said a bunch of things i believe anyway, i believe mostly all girls are perfect in one way or another, for every girl there is almost something that will make you fall in love with her and that is something i think a lot of guys dont have, some are just straight douchebags (some girls are too) i just feel that girls are mostly all AWESOMME and in generally i enjoy talking to girls more then guys. So YEAAHH go team girls, just make sure you know that you are all perfect in one way or another ;) i feel so cheesy saying that and deleted it like 3 times but what the heck, it can stay

Religion.........................................

Ok so i am constantly getting packs of fiery fists shot at me over religion with my mum being heavily religious, the last i heard the Christchurch earthquakes are happening because there are naked pictures of christ on a church wall and this is proven because a statue of mary turned around in an earth quake.
(Note: im not saying this isnt true, what im saying is that noone has any sort of evidence to prove this is the case therefore we cannot conclude that its true)

It feels like they are now looking for any reason to justify their beliefs and its frustrating. You should never make conclusions based off made up evidence. I asked her if she believed they wouldn't stop until the pictures are taken down, so i asked her and what if the earthquakes stop before. Does that mean you were wrong and all this was a hoax? No thats isnt what it means apparently. Perfect example of close mindedness, once an idea is in your head its not coming out and its a terrible practice to be in, it discourages creative thinking and willingness to take in more correct facts.



Additionally i am expected to believe news articles and stories written from unknowns (though it doesn't actually matter who it was written by) as miraculous events, when they are completely unrealistic and irrational, have no real proof and in a world full of liars and crazy people how am i expected to believe such an extreme idea. On top of all this the fact that they will instantly shut down any idea that is outside the scope of their religion, again close mindedness.

Sure religion brings some moral values but these moral values only exist within moral people anyway (e.g. they are already moral) you see religious people all the time acting immorally and it seems like only the moral religious people act morally, just like only the moral non-religious people act morally (and i wouldn't say there are that many less either). Now i have nothing against religion, if you are comforted by the idea that there is some supernatural being/beings of some sort and you believe that then good for you. But just think about things, e.g. there is a chance a statue will turn around in a church, there could have been many other factors, maybe the statue was secured in a way that it could only twist when there was an earthquake? i could go through possible scenarios all day and noone would have any facts to counter a lot of my scenarios. So my point is, dont believe anything without supporting evidence.

 Its ok to ask why, infact you should ask why, if you want to be the best you can be and the most intelligent you can be then i would encourage you to ask why to everything. If you dont want become a better person (not saying that you should or have to, it's perfectly fine and reasonable if you dont want to, and when i say better i dont always mean kinder or more noble, could be smarter etc etc) then feel free to sit how you are, but if you want to improve your life as it is now open your mind and start learning from everything, learn why and you will learn more and remember more i garuntee.

Ok now that I finally got that out of the way ill take a break, ill go punch a wall or something

why, why, why

soooooo i am keeping myself busier then usual, i have changed my title from 'bum' to 'game programmer' that's right i have been programming a game with a friend of mine and it is kinda good i guess, i am getting better at python which is the programming language i am using which is also an language i have an exam in in a few weeks. On the other hand im not studying for exams that are coming sooner and that are worth more.

THE GAME CHEA

But being myself i don't really care, so whats most likely to happen is i will avoid doing it until sunday and then on sunday night ill freak out and  cram the study, then get at least a B+ in the exam. i know the first question is how do i do it, i don't know. i really don't know. The brain is a mysterious thing, and mine happens to be a sponge.... sometimes.

Anyway i was totally talking to some people i hate but i have to be nice to them for a few reasons and just makes me think about how important communication skills are, it doesn't matter how good you do at university or how smart you are if you aren't a likable person. The problem about this is its something people can't generally be taught.

I think the first thing to remember is sometimes you have to be nice to someone even though you want to break their neck. You should never act poorly towards someone if it would benefit you to treat them with respect. A perfect example was when i got my restricted and the asshole of a driving tester failed me for the most retarded reason, i knew it was no point arguing with him. What my sister said was that i she would have called him a cunt etc etc, but what i said was there was no real point because if i got him in my resit he will just hate me and fail me again. Its much better to sit there bend over and cop it, because the next time they happen to come across you they will like you better. the funny thing is that i resat my drivers test 30 mins later and he let me skip a majority of the test because i had already done it and because i was respectful.

He is dramatically thinking about Communication and its importance
The woman behind is inspired by his awesomeness

Acting kindly towards someone and being likable will always get you far, much further then any other skill would and its something that you really just have to get good at yourself. By all means you can act like a dick sometimes but just tread very carefully when you do. I mean i do it all the time and i shouldn't, it achieves nothing other then potentially screwing yourself over.

So really what i'm saying is be kind when you want to knock someone out, and more importantly learn how to communicate with all kinds of people, there are a few ways you can get people to like you that are quite immoral etc etc and use them, rationaliy > morality generally to a level of course. If you have to kill someone to benefit obviously that level of morality is rationality < morality. Trivial example but it portrays the point. anyhooo im done.

PEACE OUT

NOMNOMNOM

Thats right, nomnomnom. Cornchips, donuts and all thats stuff that makes you fat because im too lazy to cook. I actually put some sausages under the grill to cook and go back to my room then like 1 hour later i hear the smoke alarm going off and freak out. So i bolt downstairs and bang it smells like..... burnt sausages. Yes i know it seems unrealistic but its true, I then got out my charcoaled sausages and cut them open and ate the inside. It was cooked perfectly.. So I guess it didn't all turn out bad.

On the note of not turning out bad, I had to design and make a robot for my engineering class, it wasnt too hard of a task and already had the parts it was just all in pieces in a box. So its thursday right and it is competing in the afternoon, and im like shit i need to build this robot, so I grab the Popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners and hot glue and smack all that shit together. Now this robot is meant to be able to follow a line through a slalom and solve a maze but it cant, it has 1 mode... go. So anyway we happen to be competing against noone because the other group didnt haven their robot. So we made it through to the finals with our morning made piece of crap robot.

Alright we are in the finals and i get put in the maze first, so i put it down and it drives into the wall, now everyone in the room was literally standing around the maze because it looked the most exciting, and what do i do, drive my bot into a wall.CHEEAAAA thats right, anyway i carry on and do all the challenges and guess what, the robot is somehow 4th equal, coming 2nd in 3 catagories, Aesthetics (don't know how to me it looks like shit, but kids judged it and it was colourful), recyclibility  and the weight lift. Then the pizza comes and it was all like vegetarian crap, I WANT MEAT. anyway next was the drag and the robot seemed to be driving straight, and anyway i put it down and it like starts turning and drives off the track, luckily the robot that was 4th equal happened to just like completely fail and we stayed 4th.

So i will get good marks for my piece of crap morning made robot and some of these other teams who have spent 4 weeks making and designing will get less, THATS RIGHT SUCK IT.



Anyway it being exam time I need to find some motivation somewhere to study, now I may have found a semi way to get some study in though its not ideal but i have been talking to some friends about designing a game, now i think if i spent some of that time on the game practicing the parts of programming in my degree that should help out with the coding papers, and it leaves me with a more enjoyable way to study.

As for the other papers ill have to lock myself in a room with no internet and rock it old school, pen and paper like. BUT knowing me ill probably end up doing nothing and just winging it, computers are easy yo. And seriously 4.30am i think its time for a nap, tomorrow is a big day, lots of nothing. exciting... LIVING THE EXCITING LIFE HERE. pewpew nomnomnom
