That's quite amusing

I used to run this other blog with some friends of mine. It's still up, but don't look at it; it's crap.
ANYWAY the funny thing is, that blog gets about 150 views a month by not doing anything. That's because at the time, me and my friends put in lots of keywords such as "ipod review", "FIFA", "ASCII art" and stuff like that. Oh yeah, it's also got that stupid smiley face thing. I'll post it here.
Now I'm going to get about 20 more views a month
You won't believe how many people look for this image. It's pretty good, my old blog seems to have developed self-awareness and is actively pulling in views by its self.

Annoying feeling

I've got the feeling that I should be doing something progressive (it's the weekend, and I like improving over the weekends) but I can't figure out what it is I'm meant to be doing. I have some school stuff due next week but I don't know if I'm meant to be working on it. Maybe it's because I don't want to leave the computer, I'm not sure. I've also got some personal goals that I set for myself. I know that if I don't work on them, I'll consider this weekend a failure and then regret wasting all this time when Monday comes around. I'm not sure whether I should work on this instinct or not but I'm pretty sure I'm just being indecisive or lazy. I think I have some study to do, but I just revised my maths to a month ago. Maybe I should do it again, just to be sure. Or maybe I could go and work on the piano. I don't know. I think when people know that they have something they need to do, they chose not to do it and instead try to find something else to do. The exact reason for this I'm not quite sure, but I'm pretty certain it's got something to do with human nature.

Story time: Broseph

Hey Kidz!
Let's hope Broseph never actually sees this.
Just introducing the characters of this story time.
There's this guy at our school that we all call "Broseph". He's kinda tall, kinda fat (he admits it so it's ok to say), and he rarely gets aggro. Oh yeah, he can be annoying as hell when he wants.
Our second character is called (for the sake of the story) "Cable". He gets pissed really easily and goes rage. Like remember that video of the German kid raging after losing Counter-Strike or something? Yeah like that. He also punches really well (first hand experience).
Our supporting characters are "Library drifters" because they hang around in the library. I'm one of them.
I'll first tell the story from my POV.
I'm chilling around (in the library) when I head loud swearing and random death threats like [Show profanities] and stuff like that.
Anyway I didn't see the whole thing myself, but after a bit of investigating here's what I gathered.
Broseph had been annoying Cable when Cable starts shouting at Broseph and making a general commotion. Broseph just stands there. Cable then punches Broseph four times in the head/teeth. Broseph just stands there (possibly in shock) and Cable screams threats as they're broken up by a guy I know (that plays Starcraft and is a major game nerd/occasional jerk). The library is on fire with the event and everyone's talking about it. Apparently Broseph got a fractured tooth. I haven't had the chance to speak to the man himself, but Broseph hang around the same areas so it shouldn't be too hard.
I think the most important part of the whole thing is that Broseph didn't punch back. While a bunch of guys called him a pussy for not fighting back, you have too keep in mind; it's a lot harder to not punch back when you're angry and you've been hit. I wholeheartedly congratulate Broseph for his control and skillz.
It seems that the most violent place in the school is the library. Hardly a day goes my when there isn't a minor scrap/rage up in there.

What makes a blog boring?

Is it looking at the huge chunk of text and then thinking "tl;dr" or the fact that there's no sound and movement like a video that can grab our short, modernized attention spans?

Kinda story time: Facebook vs reality

   Ok children (speaking to kids), today I will tell you a kinda story. It's called a kinda story because it's not much of a story as an observation.
A few days ago I got some of my friend's Facebook photos and GIMP'd (a free Photoshop-ish thing) some really gimp photo together (Unfortunately, the monkeys at the server screwed up and you can't see it anymore. lol jks I'm just protecting privacy). I'd like to say that it was commented on by tonnes of people but it wasn't. A few of my friends said a few things and stuff and the guy who's photos I took was making a minor big deal about it (like, a big deal that isn't really that big of a deal). That's still an exaggeration.
   Anyway, the next day no one said anything about it even though it definitely seemed like the guy wanted some clarification on the photo-montage I made. So I had to bring it up and it was an ok conversation. But that's not the point. The point is that it seems that Facebook and reality are in two different worlds, even though one clearly exists in the other. It's like Fight Club or something. If you argue on Facebook/have a really awesome discussion, you won't talk about it when you meet the next day.
   I legit spent 10 minutes of my day (not in one period) asking people if they saw the picture and what they thought of it. I also asked for feedback on what to improve. But, they all kinda acted like it was a weird question to ask (don't worry, I'm kinda known as a weird guy), like I was asking about their sister they had never told me about. Like "wtf, u tolkin about Facey (Facebook) irl ayyy?" but not actually like that because my friends aren't douchebags.
   But I digress: Everyone acts like Facebook is a whole different world and what is brought up in that world stays there. This photo thing isn't the only instance of this happening, otherwise it'd be called "Me complaining that no one appreciated my fine art".

I should be doing study

I got two B's in English and I.T (like computer stuff). I feel really stupid. I was 1 mark off an A- in the recent English test and in I.T I forgot to read the criteria sheet and I missed one requirement. ARRRRRGGGG!!!!
I'm meaning to change my habits, but I want them to change NOW. I know you need to work towards change and that it comes slowly, but I wish that I could become some super hard working guy overnight. *sigh* I guess I gotta work harder then.

Ow..

Hello children (in the least creepy way possible),

Today I'm going to tell you a story of how one guy manages to accidentally hurt me, twice.
Basically I was lying down on a beanbag (as you do) when the guy (let's call him "David") joins the conversation (yeah, I was having a conversation). Somehow 1+1 then = 2 then 2+2 = 4. "David" threw a hat directly into my open left eye. The hat ricocheted a full 3 feet off my eye as I screamed profanities and moaned in agony, rolling on the floor oddly. I couldn't see for five minutes. For the next resulting days, I had a blind spot in my left eye when looking in the dark. I think it's getting better.

Part 2: I was propped against a brick wall (in the same place as last time) when somehow the conversation turns into a random semi-brawl/pillow fight (don't be fooled, the pillows are made of kevlar or something ridiculous like that. And filled with really heavy sponge. Yeah, like gravel. ). "David" decides it's a genius of a plan to frisbee throw a pillow (they're pretty big and heavy) right into my face. What's great is it didn't hit my eye. What isn't great is that it caused my head to smack like a bitch into the brick wall behind me. Now, my head hurts and I've got a lump on the back of my head about the size of a friggin' uhh.....smaller than a ping-pong ball. A lot smaller.

Anyway, it turns out "David" has a pretty good throwing arm cos' the velocity of the pillow and hat was like a damn javelin being thrown by a Olympic champion.
That's the end of story time for today.

Can't eat breakfast

Sometime, I can't be bothered to eat breakfast. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not all that hungry or because I want to get on the internet. I have to actually think about having breakfast rather than eating spontaneously because I'm hungry

No need to sleep

It's kinda annoying when it's getting late at night and you need to go to sleep, but you don't feel like sleeping. Why does this happen!?!?!??!!!!!! YYYAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! I'm like "hey, I have school tomorrow. It's 9:30. I could probably stay up til' 10:30. No biggie". But then I realize I actually don't have anything to do, so I just sit there browsing sites that I just checked 5 minutes ago, looking for something to do. D:
WHY DO I WASTE MY TIME SO NEEDLESSLY? I could be using that half hour to study or something. But no! Instead, I decide "Let's refresh the page, someone will probably have posted something new by then". Then I repeat for about an hour or so until my eyes feel like lead balls and I force myself to bed. Is this internet addiction? Far out!

Why does time seem to pass so quickly?

Time really seems to pass super fast. I find that time seems to be going by really fast. Yeah, really. I mean for example, you wake up in the morning like "Oh crap, today is going to be so long" but by the end of the day you're like "Woah...where did the day go?". The conclusion I have come to is either you're having tonnes of fun (time flies when you're having fun) or, you simply can't remember in enough detail of what happened during the day that you think time has gone by really fast. Like, think about it. During that really boring conversation with that guy you know, do you remember all that he was saying? Probably not. If you had a maths class today, do you remember what the professor was saying 30 minutes into the lesson? Probably not. My theory is that, we perceive time by what we are experiencing. That's why when you're living that 2 hour maths lesson, it seems really long. It's because you're currently experiencing what's happening, you haven't forgotten. But once you can't remember what happened during that 2 hour period (like, you only remembered 30 minutes of the lesson) then it seems like time went faster. We only remember 30 minutes of the lesson, then our perception of time shifts with our memory of what happened. Am I making sense?
