…and then Semester 2 began…

Yea. Semester 1 was not fun. Exams have been horrible and stressful.

It’s about time I got to change modules. I’ve had it up to way over my head with quantum mechanics at the minute.

On the plus side I did get Lacuna Coil’s new album through the post! =)




It’s just brilliant!!!!

Also, I had a bit of a brainwave the other day. If Physics doesn’t take me anywhere or I fail it miserably at it, I can always become a full time blogger. Genius!right? -___-" What do you guys think?

At the minute I just need to sort out how I’m going to make money off this, but hell: you readers are my only care at the mo. No point trying to earn money off something that no one reads, right?

Anyway, last thing… I just wanted to share a track off Dark Adrenaline that hit me lyrically as well as musically.

“Intoxiated” – Lacuna Coil

Lie.

Broken mirror,
Seven years of stolen luck.
I try to fix you one more time
But I must let it die,
The dream that we’d survive.
Cut my throat if I tell a lie.

Set it free,
Lost ambition.
I overthought my place in your life.
Set it free,
Superstition.
I gave up on this fairy tale lie.

Blind man’s wisdom.
Cross my heart but it’s a lie.
I kept us going the last time.
You used one of your nine lives
I gave up all of mine.
Cut my throat if I tell a lie.

In the world that I created,
I’m intoxicated.

Set it free,
Lost ambition
And now I won’t look back,
I’ve turned my back.
I’m off the ground.
Set it free,
Superstition.
And now the air I breathe is poison free.
I’m freedom bound.

And with this, I’ll leave you until my next entry.

Is there anything you guys want me to write about? I also have a channel on Youtube where I could upload extra stuff and even mention you while answering questions. http://youtube.com/youvebeenhelpdesked
That’s all for now!

Utopia or no Utopia?

I recently spotted this question on social networking site Diaspora*. At first glance I thought “This guy is stupid.” but actually it allowed me to think of why I don’t really agree with the options given. Here’s the original post:

“On a personal level, would you rather live in a world where everybody was nice to each other, or a world in which everybody conformed to your ideals? (and if your only ideal is that everybody be nice to each other, blessed be, this question is not for you)”

As you can see the obvious comment would be “Go away. This is a false dichotomy. Lol…you’re an idiot.”
It really does sound like a question with two identical answers.

Even after trying to see the subtleties between the two, which I make out to be either everyone nice to each other and living in a Socialist-Utopia (ie. everyone masking their true feelings) or  everyone being nice to me and living in a Utopia created around me (everyone masking their true feelings, bar me - admit it, egocentric ideals in everyone wish that you didn't have to change but everyone else had to change and be nice to you), I can't understand why any reasonable person would want EITHER option.

Society wouldn't advance either way.

Society advances with shared ideals, individuality, small conflicts and the truces that are called afterwards. This is why the world isn't black and white.

From two or more people having different opinions on the same subject, others follow the various opinions based on their own ideas. A common set of ideas is formed in each group (and obviously not everyone approves all ideas) which then tries to win backing from other groups. Where ideas meet secondary groups are formed, where ideas diverge there is division from groups and the cycle is started again.

It's not politics. It's the human way of thinking and forming groups within society. You wouldn't have friends if you didn't share ideals and opinions, but you have disagreements with them when your values differ from theirs.

What are your ideas?
Feel free in the comments to share them or maybe even share what your reply to the post would be.

Blessings to all!

Disa-blinking-ppointed

You know him, he’s a good friend.

You’ve know him 4 years now.

You really became friends when he had a bad break up and you stopped him from cutting himself or jumping in front of a bus.

Your friendship grew and soon you had similar interests, went to the same gym, went around with the same group of people every Saturday night – pretty much like twin brothers.

You hear that he’s not really a good guy, that he’s been known to be violent, known to talk shit, but you don’t care…he’s like a brother to you.

And then you hear (from your cousin of all people) that he’s talking shit about you (to her), like you’re “on a leash” and won’t go out because of your girlfriend. You should have seen it coming, you already knew (almost), but it hits you all the same.

Time for a rethink…

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Hell, you don’t know shit about me.

I’m not upset, I’m disappointed.

Disappointed that I wasted time on you, thinking that you were worth something.

Disappointed that it took me 4 years to realise just how fake you are. I thought we were good friends.

Still…

Better late than never.
