Crystal Ball

crystal... baaaaaaaaall wont you tell me please i need to knowwwwwww... sorry song by the band styx... i tend to draw links to music alot. Anyways, my future could be completely reciprocal from what i plan for all I know, but my plan is to attend Binghamton University (i know its local but hey its got everything i need and good value... with the economy the way it is i might as well ychologygo to a good value school) and for four years major in psychology with a possible backup minor in something such as history (i dont intend on becoming a mr friend and know everything in history but its an idea for the time being). But then why bother become a psycologist? I mean you deal with patients, and then send them to a psychiatrist for final analysis (sometimes) and to perscribe drugs (all the time). Why bother work in the medical field and not perscribe drugs? Thats the fun part! not to mention the $80,000 ish pay boosted to a $120,000 pay... im gunna be rich and have a pet monkey to do chores for me and you wont so HA! What else? i plan on getting married to Hugh Hefners twin wives after he dies so thats all taken care of. The number of kids i have will probably depend on my luck in contraception durability. OK crude joke im sorry... whether it will all happen or not? i dont know for all i know i could en up a meth addict and from the meth i lose enough weight but am uncharacteristically active and develop washboard abs and become a male stripper.

World Crisis?

With the world problems, the apocalyptic 12/21/2012 does not see too far out of reach. For my personal opinion (and i will try to keep things short for the lay person *cough cough Britton :D* ) I believe the world is over anxious to believe such ideas. For instance reports constantly come out reporting that the economy's state is bad but still overrated. Things are far from the horrors of the show "24" in destructive terms. Looking at past decades such as the 70s point to the fact that gas rises stocks fall unemployment goes up but everything will get better. Everything has a natural cycle. Originally I made a comparison in this blog to the way the cycle is but due to second reviews i decided to censor it for your ears... not to mention everyone would think of it to be gross and/or risque. We are off our equilibrium now and people are panicing but it will eventually return to normalcy... as for the economy if you want a solution watch RON PAUL hes got your answers!!!!!! (shouldve voted for him america)

Technology's Role

Technology tends to be an overlooked area in our world today. Many people (myself being a guilty culprit) tend to get lost in the vast technology from time to time. Shown in many forms, whether it be cursing assorted words you heard only your father ever say aimed at your frozen computer (first thing in my mind is "oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge" and if I need to say what that quote is from then please leave America you do not belong) or just simply ignoring the the specifics of technology that greatly effect the product people use every day, such as the difference between LCD and Plasma tv's. Technology is always expanding to the point where new innovative technology takes on a "wooptie-doo" perspective. For example, Apple Ipods started out as "wow cool i need one!" Then it became tiresome. It was then shrunken into the Ipod Mini. As Borat once put it "everyone knows they are for girls," but still everyone was wowed by this. Then the nano came out and everyone thought very cool. After the nano has been increased in storage and smaller and more durable, people brush it off with a "who cares... give me more!" attitude. Computers also tend to fall victim to people who overlook technology. Pounding on keyboards, yelling at the computer, and trying every other trick in the book cannot save a computer from occationally becoming an "inconvinience." As newer technology is rapidly produced and distributed, we become more expecting of it. I assume we won't become fully fixed on some technology until we can have atom transporters like in the movies, and even that will become an inconvenience ("Damn atom transporter 5000, i dont have minutes to waste here lets move it!"). As I get to the end of this rant I don't even recall if that was an answer to fit the needs of the question... basically I'm just saying that technology plays a larger role in our lives more so than we tend to see for ourselves. Here, I will summarize all of my belief in one simple statement... Take it away and you don't know what you've got till its gone (dont know what it is i did so wrong wrong wrong... i dont know the rest of these lyrics... you know that song by that band cinderella? nevermind) and think of it this way... if we didn't have technology, you would be off rolling a big wooden ring around with a stick instead... wait... that was acctually fun in 3rd grade... nevermind technology sucks


Just kidding its cool I like technology...

What Makes Me Happy?

In order to answer this I must start off with my definition of "happy." This might sound like a cliche introduction to an essay written by an enlightened philosopher, but some might view happiness differently. Some might think of happiness in the same way as they view gratification. I see it as anything that can distract me from the stresses of the regular world and allow me to see positive. Whether it be through a comedian mocking everyday things in life, a funny story, playing with a lovable dog, drinking a cold thick milkshake, or watching your favorite professional sports team play. All of these have the potential to draw me in, and give me the ability to abandon the building thoughts of stress in which every day life adds more and more of each day. Being happy doesn't require me to laugh or to enjoy myself to the fullest, just take a break and ignore the negative. These times of being happy then allow me to return to the stresses of the real world with a clearer mind and a more apt attitude.
