Lately I have been talking to void, yet again, because I don't seem capable to realize that I was, yet again, banned from #Liquipedia for making, yet again, another joke about France. After realizing, I almost got banned a second time for refering to the unspeakable p-value incident, that I could write an average 8 minute read blog. To be clear, most of you should be able to read faster, but there's also the video-content-only-consumer fraction around with the mental capability of a two year old, so in average it's an eight minute read.

I decided, for no reason at all, to include an arbitrary picture of something utterly unrelated to the upcoming text... which has something to do with how to improve your life obviously. So, here it is.


[image loading]
note how it's an eye catcher for internet people, because of CATS


So, you're probably some teenager, or someone who just entered the twilight zone of high school graduation ceremonies, having atheist tendencies, and are somewhat on the course to get a higher education still. At least Sociology enabled me to make this prediction, phew. Anyhow, this means, since you do read a blog, that you have some really hardcore problems right now. You suffer from depression, social anxiety, or, well, or, depression. You don't?

You do not suffer from depression, social anxiety, or depression?

That's one of the most common bullshit lines I will hear, when reading this post. Yes, yes you do. Everyone was once bullied, like at least once, "bullied", or were depressed. Like, realizing Jar Jar Binks was done by George Lucas, or listening to Linkin Park lyrics, and writing some shit about how you stare in an abyss, that sucks you in, after losing your D+ icon, depressed and/or "nobody answers me in Skype" lonely. See? There you are.

Now, come back in 14 days. The fortnight over already? Good. Here's my advice on how to improve life: let go of that thought. You made up the problem in the first place. Listen to Robbie Williams instead and go have a party. Also, chase the next dream, become a pro gamer. And/or do cross fit. But don't go the cross fit road, while going vegan, or going hipster, because you will never know what to tell people first.

Please stare at this random video of people playing StarCraft for the remainder of your eight minutes, while listening to something in the lines of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Contemplate on your life.





Are you still here? Get out. Not sure if I told you the truth? Well, my vita will tell you this:

  • I was a teenager once and now the horrors of depression, social anxiety, and, depression
  • there's a wasp stuck in my room omygod
  • like literally, kill it with fire, it's super aggressive
  • I was C on ICCup once and admin and shit, I know about life
  • I have about 20 followers on Twitter (@DonGeckone)
  • IT'S AFTER MEEEEEE =((((

Coincidentally, the first mvt is just shy of 7min so it works out nicely :-)

When I scrolled down to the pianist and back up to starcraft again, suddenly the starcraft apm was not too impressive any more. (I skipped the first movement)

@GeckoXP:
Btw, you sound so much like some characters in the ender books. Did you read them?

Improving yourself is really important, because if you don't you'll end up as a non-improved individual, which makes you kind of mediocre. And of course, nobody wants to be mediocre, because everybody is a special snowflake. (= basically, everybody is a genius, and only hasn't realized his potential because of shitty internet and protoss allins)
first we make expand, then we defense it.

5/5 blog for this reason:
Also, chase the next dream, become a pro gamer. And/or do cross fit. But don't go the cross fit road, while going vegan, or going hipster, because you will never know what to tell people first

100% accurate for cross fit people and vegans I know, thankfully no overlap yet

This blog was great. I'm getting increasingly irritated by the self help bullshit. If you want to improve your life, stop listening to the people who tell you how to. All the time you spent listening to shitty canned advice is not spent doing the shit that matters like drinking and fucking.
