Forums, and why you shouldn't post on them!

I discovered an interesting thing last night. No matter what ideas or opinions you have, there will ALWAYS be someone who strongly opposes them, and then there will be people who see it as a 50% divide between you and the guy that disagrees with you and hence randomly choose a side based on little more than the flavor of the comment. So you will have effectively created a heated argument on both sides that well end up having little to nothing to do with your original concept. I don't really know why I bother since even if everyone magically agreed there would be no great outcome since no one actually cares about forums. Which brings me to my next point. Forums are damn addictive. Once you've made a certain level of commitment to anything, you feel obliged to continue that level of commitment, and sometimes even increase it. This factor, combined with the fact that giving your ideas and opinions on things can be about as irresistible as your favorite food type (say pizza, chocol...

Time to De-Stress

Well today I passed my chemistry Key Competency, mostly because I studied, but partly because I got lucky. I got lucky because I didn't make any stupid mistakes for once, yay! Also today I won on the SC2 Forums. How do you "win" at forums you ask? Well, in my mind, you make a valid point, some wanker tells you your point is stupid and that they know what they're talking about, then someone tells you your right, then someone who knows what their talking about tells the guy that told you that you don't know what your talking about that they don't know what they are talking about. Then the guy who started it all asks you to be friends and you go to the movies and eat popcorn, or make custom maps together, which ever comes first lol. I've been thinking a lot too (that's what happens when you can't sleep, you think), and I reckon I have a problem. My problem is that the only thing I like doing in my spare time (after spending time with my wonderful GF) ...

OK, so NOW it's really started.

Firstly, insomnia: I can't sleep when ever I want, I can't just lay down in bed and 20 minutes later there's all these little Z's floating out from my head and fading away. If I lay in bed, I lay there for about 2 hours and slowly go insane, I'm usually better off doing something for an hour or 2 and then trying to sleep, unfortunately it ends up being more like 3-4 hours and then I'm exhausted, which is good for insomnia, bad for the next morning when I have uni! Also whats with people not understanding, or even really caring, about other peoples problems. Someone goes to me "oh, I have a broken leg" I go "wow I'm sorry, that sucks" someone goes to me "oh, I have trouble learning new concepts" I go "yeh, that would suck, new concepts are important" but if I make the foolish mistake of telling people I have trouble sleeping "XOMG YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT NOTHING, JUST GO TO SLEEP WHEN YOU NEED TO!" gee thanks pal. ...

It has begun, I think...

Well, this is it, I vowed never to get in on the internet scene and here I finally am, making a blog.
