Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I like twitter since I made my account as more of a joke account. When I made it, I never really planned to use it all that much. And I think I have maybe 7 followers.

It has it's moments if you don't take it super seriously.

Also, with facebook, you can set it up so only friends and family can see or comment on the things you do like or things you do, see, or whatever.

Thick skin only goes so far though, it's more about using social media with a grain of salt, and realizing it's really not that much different than being in high school, no matter your age. Some people are going to be *** regardless, but the key I've learned is to never let them take away from what you like to do, or what you want to do or be.

Basically, learn to empower yourself so no one can step on you.

I'm not sure I would call it optimism, it's just ***I used to think about that mental health counselors who deal with depression and anxiety cases *should* be saying or doing to reinforce positivity into someone's life who really needs it, by teaching them how to be self-sufficient with their own mental health, by focusing on bettering their own mental health with the hobbies and activities they feel are important to their lives, and teaches them positive ways to deal with something highly negative.

Removing yourself from a bad situation is often the go-to action, and generally a good one, but not always feasible, or can make a situation worse with the persistent dickbags out there who can, and will make life more miserable by getting violent when they don't see the reaction they want to see. And the parents of these *** know their kids are ***, but pretend they are little angels who can do no wrong, and is obviously the other kid's fault for being a weenie in the first place.

I did a lot of things in high school to keep myself sane and positive, even went so far outside my comfort zone, I became a completely different person for a while. I'd never done organized sports, but I made the decision to play high school football, played chess in the morning with people who were my intellectual superiors, and even had days when I surprised them (still only beat them once or twice), went into cooking classes, played Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, after school job I loved, etc. Eventually I had to be told by plenty of people I developed a personality that people gravitated towards, and even gained some level of popularity.

Yeah, I still suffered from severe clinical depression during that time for other reasons, also related to high school, but these were the things I focused on, and I don't think I let anyone know then I ever had depressive thoughts, but more than half the time, I never gave myself time to dwell on them, since I also had plenty of good happening at the same time.

All the councilors did was recommend finding a professional therapist to kids who were sad, when all they needed was some positive words of wisdom, and something vague they could interpret as a means to remain positive in hard times.

Also, *** you Minotaur!

Open with Mortal Ray, and I thought I was turned around quick enough but not really. 4 Holy Water fails later and I'm back at the beginning -.-

I did manage to get it down to 50% before I died though. So, that's something...

/casts Mortal Ray on the OKC tonight.

I hope they at least show up this time around.

Dark Souls runs like garbage on Xbox One =/ Not sure if the game itself was like that on 360 or if it is poor emulation.

finished all 6 chapters of akira. i dunno how many pages that was, but it was awesome. i still like the movie, but the manga is definitely 100x better.

... You don't do a lot of console gaming, do ya?

I could adjust my brightness.

DS1 runs like garbage on pc too unless you do this graphic fix ~ so probably runs better on 360 & ps3

Round 2

Swordchucks Kingnobody BLU43 vs. Minotaur!

Ends up we both killed each other (damn Mortal Ray and lag of turning around again)....

Also screen size and Y axis inversion. I always invert the Y axis, especially with shooters. My brain is all sorts of *** up if it thinks that down means up.

I blame flight simulators

It's an adventure trying to get into my battle.net account.

Edit: Took 30 minutes in chat, but it's finally all good.

Sure is. But it's not the Seven Summit type expeditions SE makes you go through.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I used to play this ancient flight simulator on my brother's Sega Genesis for hours before playing any shooters (except of course for Doom and Wolfenstein) and I guess I couldn't rewire my brain afterwards.

Boom:

They need to fix that so future generations won't be messed up in the brains.
