I'm becoming less and less motivated to even address problems any more. It's the 'calmly holding your breath' option in the 'sink or swim' metaphor.

It's not even so much that I'm panicking, angry or sad.. I feel like I'm starting to accept that no matter how long I try, unfortunate situations tend to circle back into my life. Be it for obvious reasons, or for reasons I had not considered.

It must be some kind of rhythm that the people in my direct environment and I are stuck in. Like, unconscious behaviour causing certain things to be set in motion. And that in turn creates similar circumstances.

It's interesting.

my coworker stresses me out. she is very high strung... as soon as she walks into the room the needle quickly pivots and jumps off the richter scale. i can almost visualize the atmospheric energy and wavelengths of the room suddenly going haywire, jumping chaotic into a gnarled, jolty cluster****. it looks like a knot of electricity, everywhere, taking the space of the whole room. it feels edgy and suffocating. she is nice (she fakes it, but that is ok, we all do) so i appreciate this... but still... it is immediately draining. i think she might be on drugs.

That pretty much sums up how I have been feeling for a while too. There's water all around, and you can make a dash for the far off island, but it's hard, tiring, and there are currents all around ready to bring you back out to sea when you're not paying attention. When you get out of that swimming rhythm for whatever reason, it's sort of nice to just float for awhile. In the back of your head though, you know it's not as nice as that island, and are really tired of your hands being forever pruney.

I hope I didn't take that metaphor too far ::p:

I decided to go for a 3 mile run at the track today after work, at 11:30 pm, in the middle of a thunderstorm. If you think I'm the only person crazy enough to do such a thing, you would be wrong. Maybe the two girls at the track are stalking me *gets suspicious*

and sometimes the pieces cracks and scars can fall back together in the most beautiful and unexpected of ways.

Political correctness is a disease of society and what the elities want to spread among people to keep them in check/let the society destroy itself from within, it´s like it has been given a sleeping pill, nobody wants to appear bad or intolerant, so they tolerate evil because it´s impolite and socially unacceptable not to do so. This way the evil easily reaches the upper hand and will destroy the society of meek sheeps and the elities will be happy (I don´t know exactly why but they probably will).

I agree political correctness is a little out of control, but it does serve some purpose. Words are powerful and we use them incorrectly it influences the mentality of "the sheep" significantly. An easy example is using the word "gay" to mean something bad or stupid. People may not be consciously thinking that when they say it, but in their subconscious it is reinforcing the idea, and telling them that being gay is something undesirable. It can be used to control people as you say, as it's all psychology and conditioning, but in some cases I would say being politically correct would do the world a lot of good.

I was reading through one of my university textbooks today and I really wish I had actually read the thing when I was in university because it's genuinely interesting... at the time I only cared about doing the least work I could in order to pass (and getting stoned), and I missed out on a lot of intellectually enriching conversations.

I'm the opposite. Most of my learning takes place outside of class. When in class, I could barely sit still and listen. It's just so boring to be in a classroom. I'm also too nervous to contribute to discussions, but when I do, I only say 1 or 2 sentences and that's it. I swear my mind is almost blank, I don't know how some people could talk off the top of their heads.

Maybe it is an option, Graeme, you could be the Scottish answer to Steady Eddy.

Over the past few days, I read reviews on the Internet bashing Miley's VMA performance. Many people spoke out against it. I also didn't like her performance because I thought it was too raunchy, but I kind of sympathize with her. I mean, she can do whatever she wants, after all she's already an adult. I also thought she had a lot of courage to go up there and do her thing. If it was me I would probably pass out on stage. Also, I know what it's like to be hated and hounded by society. I've experienced harassment by masses of people, just because I don't conform to their standards or expectations or bow to their will. I'm glad this is a free country where anyone can do their own thing, because if it's not, Miley will probably be arrested and jailed for her performance.

People like to trash each other so much, there's not a lot of respect going around nowadays.

You know, sometimes I really hate being female. No this has nothing to do with having a period, but those suck too.

Heard the whole SOPA situation has flared up again. And something about digital piracy being considered a felony punishable by actual jail time? Jikes, that stuff terrifies me.

I get that creators want to get due profit from their products, but locking people up for 'stealing' a copy from an actual unlimited supply of said product goes way too far in my opinion. It's not even a case of unwillingness to pay for the content - it's often a case of lack of availability. Make a store where everyone can access a digital copy of the product for a reasonable price (and without file DRM (iTunes)) and you will have solved like 75% of the problem.

It scares me because a simply click of a mouse - something that BARELY requires any thought, or an action that burns near to no calories at all, and something that has considerably less victims, can now potentially secure you a place in an enclosure inhabited by far worse criminals. Forcefully.

It's a slippery slope.
