It. I've found it. This is it. The big thing. THE it. The it to end all it's. My super-mega-epic uber-blog is under construction. I mean THE blog to end all blogs. Coming soon... I'm talking "That's no moon..." epic. It'll be the longest one ever
Ok folks. It's that time again. Except this time it'll be an actual blog instead of a list of random shit i hate. I don't have a lot to say though, so it's gonna be short. I'm sick of being single and alone. If i don't do something soon i'm afraid i'll slide even further into the abyss of solitude and this time it'll be too deep to wade back out. I decided to stay up all night to clear my head. I need the time to myself to think properly. Have a quiet environment where i don't have to listen to anything i don't want to listen to. Weird how the only way i can figure out a way to not be alone, how to spend all my time with someone, is by intentionally cutting myself off from people, getting time to myself to think things through. Is that irony? I'm not entirely sure.
Another thing i've realised recently is that i think i might have the wrong idea about what it means to like someone. Personally, when i have a crush on someone, i consider it a big deal. That's not a title that a person earns lightly. But i don't think that's how the majority of people see it. I suppose the main thing i'm wondering about is the grander social norm. What's normal for one person might be completely alien to another. Can real feelings be lost in translation? If you have a crush on someone, do both parties know what that means? Is one person's crush the same intensity as another person's? And, if somebody has a crush on you too, how is it decided which person's crush is more valid? Is one person's perception of love the same as another person's? I suppose i could make an analogy with Special Relativity. Depending on the person's viewpoint, can the same laws and rules appear warped and different? How is it decided which person's feelings are closer to the truth, a social norm, if there were such a thing?
The idea of a perfect rest frame doesn't exist in reality. There's nowhere in our universe that is entirely stationary, that can give a perfect, unaffected view of the laws of physics. Every single measurement is made relative to something. There is no perfect inertial frame. I think the same can be said for liking someone. There is no go-to chart for how intensely you like someone. There's no stationary, unaffected point by which to measure how much you like someone. There's no reference point that both parties can find and check with. Is it possible for two people to ever realise that one person loves the other more? Or less? Would you even want to know? I suppose i'm jumping the gun a bit. Crushes and love aren't even nearly on the same level. But it's the same basic idea. Do some people crush harder than others?
In chat recently, i observed, and thought about something i heard. I'm not sure what the context was, or who actually said it, but the basic gist was this: romance should be easy. And this got me thinking. Is love, romance, the ability to attract a mate. Is it innate? Is it supposed to be innate? If push came to shove, would your own brain tell you the right course of action? Through some deeply embedded instinct would you be able to woo the opposite gender? Personally i think the idea of being innately romantic is a crock of horse shit, but i'm interested to know other people's thoughts on the subject.
There's a high chance that this might be some topic found in a first year philosophy book, or something like that. There's a high chance that this is one of the topics that's used as a beginner's problem for those who study the human condition. I've just drawn this conclusion, these questions, from analyzing the workings of my brain. This is the diamond that came from the tonnes of coal dumped into my head over the past week, if you will
I know most of the people on this site are more the artistic type, more suited to thinking these questions over, but i've just been wondering about this for the past while. It suddenly sparked a few minutes ago. The words i needed, to verbalise what i was thinking about. For some reason when i'm running on no sleep i get more introspective than normal. I start to think a bit deeper than i normally do. I'm not sure if it evens makes sense half the time, but i think this does. Having read through it again. Yes i think it makes sense. I suppose i won't start really feeling tired til a bit later on, but for now i think the introspection is working out nicely. While i'm in this type of mood, i'll try for a little more. Chip away at the motherlode of unresolved crap, haha 
This next bit is about attention. Do seem people seek it, while others avoid it? Which would you rather be: the centre of attention or part of the crowd? Thinking back on the various things i see and hear throughout the week, it sort of sticks out that some people constantly crave the attention and acknowledgement of their peers. And are willing to go to extreme lengths to do so. Personally i don't like the spotlight. I don't like the idea of being under people's scrutiny, having people commenting on what i do. I know that's a bit stupid, considering the website in question, but i still thnk it's a valid question. Is there a fundamental quality that differs in people? Is there an innate, subconscious drive for acceptance among a peer group, and more importantly, does it vary from person to person?
Again this is probably first year sociology, or psychology, but that's not my area of expertise. I haven't the first clue about any academic pursuits outside my chosen field. I know that makes me narrow-minded. I have a large amount of detail in a relatively small field, and i haven't peeked my head out of there for a long time. I've mentioned before my stunning lack of knowledge when it comes to anything outside of physics. Anything relating to art, history, philosophy, deep personal thought, has always eluded me, and as such has restricted my perception of things. I'm trying to break out of this mould, to see things from more angles, to get a firmer grasp on life as a whole. So this is how i'm trying to do it. By thinking about stuff i haven't considered before. Trying to gauge my opinions and think aloud. That's basically what this blog is. My rambling questions about life, the universe and everything in it. (If anyone gets that reference: you are officially amazing). And hear what opinions other people might have on the subjects.
I know at the start i said this would be short, but the brain leads you to weird places. I started out by saying that i'm sick of the solitude, but it quickly branched off from that. That's still the main crux of the matter. The main thing i'm striving for. I don't want to say that this type of introspection is only a means to an end, cos it's more than that. I've only come to realise recently, the importance of personal opinion and “the person” in life. I hadn't much time for art or the workings of the brain until a short while ago, so this is sort of my first stumbling steps into the fields of aesthetics, personal reflection and the nature of love. What it means for both people as a whole, and the individual person. And how it's seen, felt, and, maybe in time, achieved.
That's pretty much it for now. Comments? Opinions? Stuff you find amusing? Peace out y'all

Alright. Earlier, on friday morning, i went a bit mad. I put two blogs up that made no sense whatsoever. Embarrassingly non-sensical. I have an idea of what happened, but i felt erasing them was the best option. I think it's a rare, periodic reaction to the new meds i'm on. Happens to 1% of users. It explains all the symptoms i felt, and just realising that made me feel a whole lot better. I'm still not myself again, but knowing that it was a temporary chemical reaction, has helped me ground myself. This helped to halt the panic i felt on friday morning, coupled with some much needed help from MissShell. I might post the psycho blog at some stage, just to verify that it actually happened. But. I don't know at the same time. Leave it at that
I think it's time i say things categorically for a change. Remove all doubt about who i am. Just to come clean for myself. To convince myself that i'm not holding anything back from the friends i've made here. For those of you who don't know, or haven't realised the “subtle” hints throughout all my blogs (
), i am physically disabled. And this hinders things for me. Substantially and consistently. In light of that, after much consideration, i won't be visiting America. It's not feasible, realistic, hell it might not even be possible. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean is not possible right now. Unless a lot of drastic changes happen in my life. Which i know is not going to happen
I'm not being pessimistic i'm being realistic. The problems i will run into are multiple and from every angle. I don't have the money or energy to accomplish something of that magnitude. Realistically, Europe is the only option for travel. UK is the closest, so hell, might head over there at some stage. I would like to get away from where i live at least once. Without my family. On my own, or as close to that as i can muster. To pursue further some of the friendships i've made here. Other than that, i don't know. Whatever floats my own boat i suppose
Regardless of what my parents might think, internet relationships are just as valid as any other. For me, anyway, they're more valid than anything else i have going on at the minute. So yeah. Screw them, in this regard anyway. I know they're wrong. I regard communicating via internet just another medium in which to communicate with people. I'm finishing this off on sunday, after a two day break. Since friday, after my mood settled, it's been pretty much constant. In a good way. I think since the stress of college has dissolved away, momentarily anyway, it's eased a lot of the tension.
Recently i've been playing the new Assassin's Creed, on PS3, and i think it's brilliant. The graphics are smooth, the storyline is based pretty solidly in historical fact, and the gameplay is excellent. Expansive cities, free-running, more variety than the first one. I'm not a big fan of independent reviews, i prefer to rely on my own opinion of games, and i think this is a damn good one. I quite like the inclusion of real Italian speech in it. Gives the whole game a more authentic feel.
I'm intentionally not trying to tax myself, by doing anything. For the minute i'm going to take it easy, work on the letters i'm writing. The inevitable question still remains... Exams? I haven't a clue what i'm going to do. I don't care about the results, and the thought of dedicating all that time and effort to a futile endeavour gets my mind revving up again. In case any people might think i'm just being lazy, it's not that. It's more basic than that. If i decide to post the psycho blog, it might explain it. I should probably read through it, to see what was going through my head. I think the word confused doesn't quite do it justice, haha. Hell, i might even put it in at the end. Spoilered of course. I'm not really sure what else i have to blog about. Thought i should at least explain to any people who may have encountered the craziness on friday. I've been going through a music dry spell for the past while, but these are two tracks i've always quite liked:

what the fuck is happening. my mood's changing so much. three times in the past two hours. jumping to extremes.
Bit quiet on the music front this week. Nothing seems quite right
Okay i don't know what's wrong with me today but writing seems to help, most times anyway, so i think i'm gonna try that. It's not going well. I'm pretty sure i'm failing two of my six classes. Every time i try and work, i start thinking how little i have with my life. At the minute, anyway, i don't have anything to look forward too. Not for the near future anyway. I still have half a year of college left, and already it's become unbearable. I have SG Chat to look forward to, but i'm half afraid i might wear out my welcome, if i go on too much. I'm going to try my hand at some creative writing again. I was told, when i was in secondary school, that i was quite good at it, but i've sorta been focused on college until now, before i made all my recent personal revelations. Shit, i'm even drawing a blank with writing this now... i'm hoping it's because i'm lethargic today, but you never know. I've another appointment with my neurologist this week, a year since the last one, so because he coordinates everything, i'm going to ask about mental health through him, possibly something to get rid of my anxiety, preferrably a non-chemical method. I've also started to think about what i'm going to do after college. I mean what if i have time left over after doing all my travels? I haven't even thought of that. I mean it's all well and good accomplishing everything i want, but what if i have extra time left? After i've done all that. Will i have to get a job or something when i blow all my savings? Seriously, it's never really crossed my mind. Ideally, i'd like to settle down, but hasn't been all that i've done so far? I mean it's been settling down on my own, but still. Is it not the same principle? Another thing i've wondered is this: if you're almost positive your feelings for a woman aren't reciprocated, is there any point in telling her how you feel? What's the point in needlessly complicating things, for no reason? I know, this is just a blog about random shit. I know my blogs aren't normally in the interrogative tense, but is having them like that such a bad thing? At what point do rhetorical questions start to annoy people? Do i really want to reach that limit? Have i already passed it?
Starting again 18 hours later: Ok... the last few were joke ones, i'll admit that! For some reason i've been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd for the past few days. And they're a great band, but i sometimes get pretty down listening to them. Last night, for instance, when i started writing this. My mood's improved a good bit since then, but still i'm not going to edit what i wrote during that time. More honest, i suppose, and i'm trying to be an honest person from here on out. Don't see the point on holding back anymore
haha, i just realised this is sort of contradicting what i wrote last night! But what the hell... haha. Hmmm, i'm trying to think of something more to write. I suppose i write best when i'm having a down day. I've been thinking a lot about doing another degree, instead of my current one. Maybe something in computers... not programming, but something i like. Something less stressful than what i'm doing now.
Today in chat i got to hear some of the worst shit i've ever heard. The amount of stuff some people have had to go through is unbelievable. For me, anyway, it really puts it all in perspective. I'm thankful that my life has been relatively good, from the personal side of things, other stuff aside. It also gives insight into what people are like, how they've been affected, what's made them who they are today. I know it's horrible to have happened, and is really painful to recount, but, i think, it's necessary to really get to know someone. To hear the hardships they've beaten, and have yet to beat. That's the thing though, that doesn't really happen in public. That's the bit i've never really found, before SG. I know some people are going to think i'm a bit weird to keep harping back to joining the site, but it really is hard to explain how big a change it was. Gonna play COD: MW2 for a while. Finish the blog after, 17:37
22:55. Gonna try and finish this tonight. Before i head off. I don't know, kind of to finish off the week. It's been a tough one. I ended up skipping college on friday because i just couldn't take it. All the work and pressure just makes me think about the time i'm wasting there. No friends, no career out of it, just thinking about it while i'm there makes me loathe it even more. And it all starts to spiral. Before i go home, sleep it off and start it all again the next day. Except it doesn't start again from the top. Starts from slightly further below the top every day. Making the fall to the bottom all the quicker, making it harder every day. I know the end of semester is getting pretty close, but it's not close enough. I hope that will sort out everything, but then i have the exams, then the next semester. I know it's only about 6 months to go, but right now it feels an unbearable amount of time. I'm sure there's some poetry reference or something for time stretching out, but hell i can't think of it...
Shite, i hadn't realised how long this was... I had only intended on a short one, but meh, I don't know... I suppose the main things i want to blog about aren't really events, just more what i'm going through, to record it somewhere. I'm thinking of making all my blogs private now though. Maybe try to think of ideas to write about. I've tried my hand at horror and sci-fi, but i'm thinking of trying out something different, something where i won't run into a brick wall after a few pages. Still have no ideas...
This is a rare one... It's just gone 23:35 and instead of getting more relaxed i'm starting to think all weird again. Paranoia, doubt, all the colours of the bad rainbow. The type of thing where all the plans i've made seem completely unnattainable, ridiculous and just stupid. The type of thing that runs through your head, ripping up the good train tracks that have been laid in the past while, temporarily anyway. And now the dark cloud's getting bigger and darker. I think this is the first time i've documented a descent in real time. Normally when i blog i'm coming right out of a bad moment, but this is the first time i've blogged during the start of an episode. I don't know how my demeanour has changed so much in the past hour and a half. Perhaps some depressing music to fall asleep to might do something... Classical or grunge, pink floyd maybe... i'm probably going to regret writing this in, in the morning, but what the hell. Everything feels like it's falling to shit now anyway. What's the fuckin point in censoring all the bullshit. Now i'm getting really annoyed and fuckin moody. And i have to go... I reckon it's gonna be a tough day tomorrow...
