I believe that the best answer to your incessant wanton knowledge of my lack of blog posts over the previous unknown amunt of time can be summed up in one word (Or two if a one character number counts as a word): "Portal 2".
Having recently acquired this amazing Xbox 360 game, I quickly proceeded to play the heart out of it. Which, ironically, I did. I am quite satisfied in reaching the stage where I have completed all of the single player achievements. Thats right. All single player achievements = mine.
I have a sense of pride about that. I would quote some random historical figure, or poke fun at my friends who still lack this trait but I would rather direct you to my next goal in gaming. Dungeon Siege 3.
I really cannot wait until this comes out. Seriously.
Until next I type. Farewell..
P.S: I also changed a few colours around... But that shouldn't be such a big deal to you.
P.P.S: I also have a new favourite word! "Relativistically". It's like, "Realisitic" and "Logically" combined to form a completely illogical word. Believe me, it exists. Search it up on google.
You knew this was going to happen. Guess what? It did.

Phyco Fanaticism
What an interesting subject line. By now, you've probably already asked yourself what the heck am I talking about.
No?
Oh, well, you'll soon understand.
The phycological impacts which we impart on ourselves are actually alot bigger than most people give credit for. Infact, their even bigger when imparted on other people. Their massive on young children, but thats mostly because they assume that because your bigger and older that your more intelligent (Doesn't say much about the people who ditch school at the first opportunity)
Here's a prime example. Did you know that if your head is covered, that the rain does not affect you as much? Your hands, your arms, your legs, could get wet. But ultimately, it comes down to how much water is streaming down your face and has clogged up the wax in your hair (I don't use wax, thank the lord almighty)
This has a profound affect on your speed at which you move through the rain. Of course, its an absolute myth that you get more wet by running through the rain. You actually acquire more water by staying in the rain for longer, A.K.A, walking in the rain.
Maybe thats why people like the dance in the rain...
Another profound thing that I have discovered is that, generally speaking, most people prefer it when someone does a multitude of small good things for someone rather than one large good deed, this also does not affect the distance between the small good deeds, but rather the fact that it was done. I mean, obviously, its a big deal if you stop someone from getting killed, but thats besides the point. COMPLETELY BESIDES THE POINT SO DONT ARGUE!
There's actually also a load of other things that you should notice about other people. If your primary hand is your right hand (You write with your right hand? Thats your primary hand. Its opposite if your left handed) then typically when moving forward, your twice as likely to move to the right for any given reason. Say your in a game and you come to a crossroad that divides into going left or right. Your 25% more likely to take the route on the right despite the fact that there is no difference in route. This, of course, applies in a multitude of situations such as when approaching someone on the street.
Unless. of course, their ambedextrious. Then they always get confused. Funny aye...
It's these small things which not many people take notice of. But hey, knowledge is power. So you just gained a +1 in intelligence for your character by reading this blog entry. Feel proud? I do. I like stats. They make everything make sense...
No?

Social Outings
If there is one thing that I have never been adept at, it is Social Outings. That whole idea of getting together as a group to discuss previously set topics on a set date has never been something that I am good at.
Infact, the extent of my social outings limit to school and church. Otherwise I stay at home by myself keeping to myself and doing things that only I know.
By the way, if you hear anything about nukes going off in the next few days... ignore it.
Anyway, I figured that I might as well bring to attention the whole point as to why, as humans go, we crave social connections. Well, I certainly dont. Indeed, I could spend years in peaceful UNINTERRUPTED solitude all by myself and I wont go insane. But then again, the definition of insanity is only logistical in the eyes of the beholder. Einstein once said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Since I won't actually be doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, I guess that means that I wouldnt be insane.
I suppose it all probably has something to do with the need for talking and not being a loner. After all, society dictates that the loner is the 'uncool' person and therefore, they are an outcaste. So, logically that means that we dont want to be excluded. The whole idea just doesnt compute (Despite the fact that I like being by myself... It gives me peace and quiet... mostly) I suppose in some ways that could mean that I am a direct opposite of society... The lone one, destined to be different.
Sweet. At least I have something to be proud about. =)
But I have to admit, it always has sparked my greater side of curiousity... I've always been fascinated by peoples way of engaging in conversation. The whole idea of shaking hands no longer happens, rather a unique 'greeting' each person has usually dicates who they are and how much people are going to hold a distaste for them in the ensuing conversation.
It's always been fascinating for me. I know of a few odd people (One who lives near Horrible Hamilton) who appears to be quite different to the social norm. I could probably mention the names of a few others, but they'd probably come barreling down my back.
Big things would be coming my way. Large, heavy big things. Probably desk chairs. Or tiny small needle like devices called pens.
But, as I have always said, social outings simply arent my thing.
