Hi TL, I've got a bunch of stuff on my mind, no desire to sleep, and a keyboard.

+ Show Spoiler +

Warning, semi-emo blog incoming!

I'll start of with what's on the top of my head, and hopefully end with something cheerful :D

Go download (if you haven't yet) and play this album.
My number one problem- women, of course :/ I'll give a setting first, I live in residence on a co-ed floor. There are 5 guys and 9 girls, I believe (good ratio amirite?). Well, I happen to live next to this really incredible girl. It's gotten pretty bad ):, and I don't for see any relationship going anywhere. I mean I feel like if I ask her out it will fuck the entire status quo of the floor (which I'm really happy about, we're tight) no matter the outcome. Not to say if I get rejected there are whole levels of awkward, also what if we break up? Last time something like this happened I just cut completely clean, and moving to a new city was part of that ): I'm glad to meet people like that, but it's hard to take, especially when you live right next to them- oh well I'll get over it.
Bleh, school marks aren't incredible, but I can live with it. I think I'm doing better, but there isn't a lot to benchmark yourself off of. I'm not really concerned about getting a stellar job, or whatever. A missions trip to Mexico (went last year as well) really changed my perspective in that regard- I've come to see that as probably the best decision of my life so far. I don't really know what I want to do, but I'm still young.
I was going to write "Looking back at an old post makes me cringe sometimes", when I realized that looking back on pretty much anything makes me cringe- I was so immature a few years ago T_T. I think of that as a positive thing though, that means I've matured from where I was, right? :D
For the lulz?

Fixed, lol why do people feel the need to write long, pretentious blog entries?

However, it actually does raise a few good points:

1. You are the decider of what is truth.
This is one of the pillars of being pretentious and invulnerable: if you say you are right, you are unequivocally, non-negotiably right. Open discussion is a myth, you are the only individual sufficiently intelligent to make valid points or to decide whether a point made by another is valid. Do not waste your time responding to that which is obviously wrong; you have philosophy to tackle, worlds of knowledge to uncover. Why would you spend any amount of your precious time demonstrating that somebody is incorrect, when you already know that he or she is incorrect? Anybody who fails to take your word as truth is a fool and obviously too unintelligent to benefit from your illuminations. Do not bother with these kinds of people.

So basically by creating a piece of work that is well written and "educated" you will elicit less discussion. This piece of work also has to state an opinion (the only one that matters), and close any sort of open discussion- so why bother creating the piece in the first point? If I were to write a piece about why person "X" was inferior using the said format, and there could be no open argument why bother? If person "X" could raise no defense to my statement, then all I have done put my ideas into word format.

If you must make a statement in order to clarify your original point or the method by which you made your original point, make it in the same fashion as your original post: addressing nobody in particular, disclosing your truths to the world.-

While one may respond to my post in any way that one likes, I implore all of you not to quote such a long post in order to give a two line response.

Thank you.

LOL, so true that it worked.

4. End all of your disclosures with a section of illusory vulnerability.
The lesser individual always has hope that he or she is not a lesser individual, and stemming from this, comes the inner wish that intellectual superiority is an illusion. If you create a illumination that does not support these individuals' flawed ideals, then they will ignore it as a whole, because they will be unable to accept that such a work could simultaneously improve their understanding of the world and destroy their fragile, beloved vision of an intellectually egalitarian reality. While the suggestion was made not to bother with the people too unintelligent to benefit from your illuminations, these such people do not fall into that category; they are in a middle ground, between the enlighteners, such as yourself, and the unenlightenable, such as the aforementioned. Therefore, you must construct statements revealing a false vulnerability, such as admitting that your prose makes you sound childish or admitting that you are unqualified to discuss all the material that you have just discussed. While you know that you are not actually childish and that you are perfectly qualified, these statements will serve to appease the masses' everlasting hunger for proof that they are not simply the unedudcated masses. Additional techniques to provide the image of vulnerability include showing attributes of you that could be perceived as weaker or less intellectually superior, such as by admitting that you watch anime. However, you must maintain the independence of your own thoughts and remind the audience that you discovered your own ideas with your intellect.

Made me lol, it is scarily true though. Even worse, I believe that I somewhat see the light, however the time required to write such a piece for a forum board is... too much. Added to the fact that such a post makes you look like a dick, albeit an educated one.

---- Joke -->

|Your Head|

Although if you didn't get the point of this blog, chances are you won't get the above diagram either.

So basically my head went under the joke?!? That makes no sense...

From here. Ahh, good ol' Shiverfish lol. Sometimes I miss those days, but I honestly think TL has improved quite a bit overall.
I think intrigue's album is really good :D
In my opinion Blogs is the best section of TL right now. General is mostly trash, SC2 is generally a shit-fest, and Broodwar is mostly a nostalgic death grip on a fading era.
Whenever I see a bunch of low post-count posters posting in a thread, shitting it up I think of a quote that I believe Sonuvbob made "... then low count posters come in and throw their opinions around like monkey shit." or something like that. I've never been able to find the source though :/
This point dedicated to CharlieMurphy, who generally causes laughter, and a great deal of head shaking.
People bashing SC2 that have never played it/ aren't interested are really annoying- I think it's a pretty awesome game, even though I really enjoy Broodwar.
I'm glad I can express my self through writing. :D
This is getting decently long- I wonder how many people will read the whole thing before it fades into the oblivion of blogs :D
I'm not a fan of the BBCode smilies :O, this is my new favourite -_-
I just turned 18(shameless self plug, amirite?) and went out with a bunch of people on my floor. I guess at the bar I kept yelling "Where are all the hot, single ladies!" -_-, also my knuckles were raw from all the pounding I had done during the night.
Perfect timing, intrigue's album just finished :D
Well, that's that for now. GLHF y'all!
