No sleep? Unable to effectively do schoolwork.
No schoolwork accomplished? Stress rises.
No mental peace? Unable to sleep.
This is the most unholy, sick, vile, disgusting bastard abortion of a cycle, ever.
I should have just put in a link to a thesaurus entry of "evil." |

I've had such bad rage fits lately that I'm once again spooking the people who should be damn well accustomed to them. I really do need to work these things out of my damn system, and maybe find a way to put them to rest completely. Particularly, I think I (and possibly god damn near everybody) need to stop going into a kneejerk reaction of calling things stupid. If modern psychology is to be believed, there's just no goddamned thing, except in the rarest of cases.
Modern theories on intelligence actually build complicated models of a variety of intelligences, and there's practically no such thing as a person who's inept in all forms of intelligence. The easy example is a sports star. We seem to especially like representing talented athletes as being not-so-particularly bright, and that might be the case, if we're looking at knowledge you pull from books. Consider this, though - is the practice and training any less valid information than mathematics, language, or sciences? If we look at a martial artist - or, heck, let's step further and make it a professional fighter - they have to practice exhaustively to commit techniques on how to strike, grapple, guard, and evade, and then blend it all together. Not only that, they have to continue to work on this until it becomes instinctive. If you look at somebody who plays a team sport, you're still going to see degrees of this - when do you run, when do you pass, do you zig or zag? How about a football player, memorizing and executing complex plays? What about the fact that you need to have a team? The ability to mold together, to form a well-oiled machine - that's intelligence, too.
Following that, take some of our favorite people throughout our culture, the ever-beloved serial killer. I don't think you'll find many people who'll call them unintelligent. Insane, of course, but never unintelligent. There's no question there, that most of these people are geniuses in the ways in which they craft their plans and execute them, the cold, methodical processes they apply. But think. How much ability do these people have, socially? If they could connect with other people, would they be so inclined to methodically torture and kill them, and proceed to make a gourmet meal out of the carvings? |

I've been telling myself for a while that I should write. Months, maybe. I don't know what about. I don't know why I stopped writing here - I don't know why I feel compelled to write here now, instead of in something only I can read, since this is mostly - and generally always was - for myself.
For the benefit of others who haven't been communicating extensively with me, or for who it's never come up, I'm at Eastern Michigan University now. I'm working in the Education program, studying to get a degree so I can go into secondary education, with a social studies major. Ironically, it's not my subject matter courses that I find particularly interesting, but my first education-related course, concerning developmental psychology. That itself, of course, is a social science. If I get any chances to, maybe I should go ahead and take another sociology course...
I'm kind of worried about my classes. I'm not really as on top of the ball as I should be, and I fear the situation in one class (a one-credit course, thank god) is becoming dire. I do need to see what I can do about fixing it, or if I can at all. Hopefully if it's not fixable, I don't get fucked in the ass about a situation with prerequisites.
Honestly, though, I feel pretty good. I'm having fun, still trying to learn to lighten up, don't let people give me as much grief as they used to - though I'm still finding myself fucking apoplectic with the stupidity of some people in COLLEGE CLASSROOMS and by god, I hope that doesn't carry over to my treatment of students in the future.
Maybe I'll have more interesting things to say if I write when I'm bummed out or livid with rage. I think that was always the key. |

When did I turn into such an intolerable asshole? |

So I told Stephie earlier that I'd run out of things to bitch and whine about, but here's one - it is possible, I think, that my twenty-first birthday SHOULD have consisted of drinking myself into a stupor. I wouldn't be conscious, but I'd prefer that over it being lame as hell.
Fuck. |

DBinA2x (4:02:49 AM): I'm sorry, I didn't realize that it was a societal expectation to have sympathy for drug-abusing cunts that got famous by injecting themselves with tons of silicone and making money by marrying eighty-year-old business tycoons
DBinA2x (4:02:57 AM): but what do I know |

I'm feeling prime for making another entry containing an onomatopoeia for a scream, or an image of someone going utterly ballistic, but frankly, I think everyone's probably had quite enough of that out of me.
It's pretty rare that I actually feel like talking about what's PISSING ME OFF, rather, I think I find it easier to file it all under the "generic rage" category and let it cook off by itself.
Boy, do I feel sorry for the kids on the forum I moderate. |

This post is basically for Racewing, because Diana drew something I'm quite sure he'll enjoy.
There is almost more link in this post than text. I barely slept at all last night, by the way, so if you catch me saying really fucked-up things like, well, this... you know why. |

Hanzo: i want a lightsaber........
Aiko: I want the power to smite the annoying LN members in real life.
Hanzo: chances are higher for you. planes exist, lightsabers don't.
Aiko: I want to be able to do it from the comfort of my own home.
Me: You're two days late with the crashing planes joke, Hanzo
Hanzo: i didn't even make a crashing planes joke.
Aiko: Naw. He's right on time. Considering how long it takes for our government to do shit, he's actually early. |
