Such a Nice Day

Wow, I really love this kind of weather. I started to wonder, how much would I pay for year round weather such as this? Just the weather mind you, same location as I'm in right now. To be honest, I really don't know, I guess it would depend on how much I make (as does everything). I'd probably get a year subscription and then decide it wasn't worth it. I'd rather save my money for other things. Oh well, having this kind of weather all the time is still a nice thought as a concept.

This kind of weather just puts me in a great mood. Work that normally stresses me out, seems quite a bit more insignificant. I just feel more at ease. I suppose, it could be that I've had the winter blues and didn't notice until the sun decided to shine. Either way, "I'm lovin' it" (Am I allowed to say that now?).

On a sidenote, I saw that some guy burned his ex-girlfriend in a grill. In an apartment no-less. The thought of that is just disturbing. I wonder what the neighbors thought it was by smelling it :gag:. Well, my day WAS good...

Cool Painting

Tilt your head to the left. Cool eh?

Vicious Delicious

Check it out! It's the new Infected Mushroom on demand! Password is my hometown in all lowercase. Let me know if you have any problems, and also what you think about the CD.

Xbox vs PC?

Apparently, Microsoft is planning to allow PC gamers to play against Xbox gamers. Keyboard + mouse for the win!

New Layout

As you can tell, I have made a new layout for the blog. Within the next week or so, I will be changing my url to "http://hyprconscious.blogspot.com". I just realized when making my banner that I really didn't care for the "e" in hyper too much, so I just took it out.

What do you think of the new look? I really just felt the need to get rid of those green/blue blandish colors of the old site. Hopefully I can make a better banner. As you can tell, my artistic ability is... quite lacking to say the least. Pixel art is about all I can manage. I was looking for the more simplistic/digital/demoish(?) (words made from ascii characters) look, so it kind of worked out I think.

Joe Rogan

Sound clip here.
Rogan is a badass. Thoughts?

EDIT: Also here are some old DOS games.

Cool 3D Windows.

Dude, it's in 3d!!!

Although it's completely pointless, its still rather cool. Doesn't seem to take much memory at all to run/use. Fun to just mess around with the windows when you're bored. Plus you can look cool in the computer lab with 3d windows and shit. People are like "dude, your computer is CRRRAaaazy!!". And I'm like "Yea, I know."

Just a reminder, this program is useless.

Seriously, WTF?

Why do I have three internship opportunities pop up all in the same day? It's pure comedy I tell you.

Let's see if I can screw up all 3 of them. ;)

Obsessions

People obsess over many different things. For example, an anorexic person would most likely obsess over anything relating to food, like how much they are going to eat, when they are going to eat, etc. Obviously that is a more extreme case, but similar to my train of thought. Another example would be someone that obsesses over what people think of them. Just try to think of thought loops, or action loops (things you do very frequently. Yes it's a made up word.) and try to investigate why you do them.

I personally feel like I obsess over many different things, but there are a few that kind of stand out. I tend to obsess over self constraint and striving for purity of mind. I really try to be the best person I can and I try to keep my mind as clear as possible. When I start feeling angry, frustrated, or just negative in general, I make it a priority to get myself back to 'baseline' (In my case, positive ;) ) as quickly as possible. Another obsession I have is to seek out new ideas that pertain to my own ideals. Whenever I get downtime, I sift through the internet like its my job to find ideas that reinforce my own. When I really think about it, what is this really obtaining? I should be striving for new ideas period, not just ideas that fulfill an ideal of my own.

I also tend to want to think of myself as innovative/creative in a sense. I don't really know where I get this from; I don't really have any basis for believing this. I like to think that I have the abilities to complete tasks efficiently and creatively (mostly in the EE spectrum of things, but this branches out to other areas of my life as well). I obsess over succeeding in many instances, mainly in competition with my own expectations. Why have I set up these expectations? Why can't I just live without expectation? The closest to this concept I feel I can achieve at this point in my life, is living up to the expectation "of having no expectations", which is still in the realm of duality. I wish I could just throw duality out the window and just live.
