My Philosophy of Laziness

In case you haven't noticed yet, I haven't been doing my class ratings. My teacher has begun to attempt to train himself not to cuss as much in classes, and thus I have decided to forgo the rating system for now. There is a possibility that I will create a new, more accurate one, especially considering that I'm going to have Scott for another semester. But will I continue this blog for another semester? We will see.

This weekend I had a couple things that I definitely needed to do: I needed to finish my FI paper and I needed to write 2 lab reports for Engineering. I did none of them. I probably could've done everything on friday and gotten it out of the way, but I didn't. And that brings me to my topic for this post.

I find that when I know I need to work, but don't feel like it, I usually don't get much done. I tend to stray away from whatever my objective is and do other things. This ends up in a lot of wasted time doing something like watching Youtube videos. Thus, in order to fix this, I have created my Philosophy of Laziness. If ever I know I should probably feel like doing work, but don't want to, then I don't. It's that easy. I don't waste time by convincing myself that I'm going to do work and then slowly drift through the internet. I just tell myself that I don't feel like doing it, and then do it later.

I know some of you are probably wondering how I get anything done. Well, this weekend I didn't get any of the stuff I needed to do done. So today is the day I have to do it all. Sure, it's a price to pay, but it was worth it. I had friday, saturday, and sunday off without any worries! And all I had to pay for it is one day of hard work. Also, I tend to write better when I'm closing in on a deadline. I don't know why, but ideas just flow out of my fingertips onto the screen when I feel pressure.

Well, that's my Philosophy of Laziness, plain and simple. Feel free to adopt it yourself, I have no problem with that. Three cheers for procrastination and all of its wonderful benefits!

A Twist in the Lives of the Forevermore

To live eternally is to suffer exponentially.
Life gained, or forever lost?
Who has the right to say? Endless amounts of stories have been written containing eternal life, a main one being the bible. What would have happened if Adam and Eve had eaten of the tree of life? How many people have hoped for such a miracle in their lives?

Thanatophobia- a fear of death or dead things and those related to both

Given the chance to live eternally, who would say no? The fear of death is what drives our decisions. We realize our mortality relatively early in life, however we do not comprehend it until later in our lives. With every decision we make, a dark presence lingers over our shoulder. Who among us would give up the chance to slip away from the Great Deceiver?

Death whispers worries into our ears, making us care greatly about our decisions. Death is the topic of so many modern discussions, such as religion, abortion, and war. No one wants to die.

However, that is not to say that none have accepted death. Some accept death and move on like normal, others accept death and then take risks they normally wouldn't take, and then others accept death and wish it upon themselves for many reasons. For instance, is not dying for someone the greatest expression of love possible? Holding another's life far above your own, enough to die for them?

Now let's take a look at eternal life. Living forever also entails suffering forever and everything else that comes with life. Everything bad that has happened in your life as of right now will happen an infinite amount of times. On the other hand, every good thing that has happened will also extend over eternity. Eternal life is not the angel we think it is. With every action there comes an equal and opposite reaction. Who says eternal life is exempt from this? And on the opposite end, who says death is exempt from this?

The modern view of eternal life is muddled with nothing but happy thoughts, while the modern view of death is muddled with just dark thoughts. My question is this: who really has the upper-hand in religion? The Immortal God, or the mortal man?

The Modern English Language

the written english languige has been butchered over time. With the online age we have tryd to make it sound, when read, like we speak it. In other word, we write how we speak now. with pauses and everything. This results in fragments, repeadted ellipsis, and a large number of other crap. However, it has changed over the thyme that the internet has been around.

now, our writing has become not only how we say things, but also abbreviations for how we say things and laziness. Every one is lookin for a faster way to say what they want to say, to the point of leaving out punctuation, making abberviations (wtf?), and just plain ignoring what their typing. And now what we right has slowly bled onto how we speak.

Every heard anyone say "lol" out loud? Who we r online has become who we r in person. Some of us have simply used some poor grammar to make it clear HOW were saying something when writing online. This is used only in personal emails and such though. however, most others've just rezorted to laziness and then let it affect they're normal lives. Ridiculuos.

learn totype , learn to use grammar correct, learn to punctuate learn 2 not use abbreviations, and especialy learn to spell. Stop letting what you say online affect what you say in person.

need i say moor?
