569 : Forest
so took some photographs in the forest not very far. it was interesting. there were a lot of great scenes. as well, many canines around. I’ve mentioned starting a lookbook before, but I never started it. having taken photos this evening, I don’t know if I’d be able to do it frequently. instead I’ll take photos and upload them on this account.

568 : Reoccurance
I’ve been convinced that if one observes a thing, physical or metaphysical, enough times, they’re prone to associating with it. a mundane example, I’ve seem images on the dashboard, which I don’t take interest in, but after a couple glances, I tend to look for it. the same can be rendered in a metaphysical. one is nurtured into feeling specifics after constant stimulation...

567 : Reverse Thinking
attended an event for a christian association at the university this afternoon. we were invited and I thought it’d be interesting to speak on faith. overall, as always, the intention was positive. we spoke on the topic of reverse thinking and the change of heart. I contributed that reverse thinking was an epiphanic moment in which an individual changes their opinions drastically, in favour...

566 : Organization
the difference an organized space can make. this room was a mess for a while, and katrina coming over gave enough incentive to clean it, and I feel more productive. perhaps it’s also that I’ve been on campus until the night most of the time, and I just miss this room, but I feel inspired here.

565 : Tribute II
after writing that post on battle royale and hunger games, I thought I’d break down the major differences. hunger games is a dystopian novel of young adults selected at random, pitted against each other to fight to the death. battle royale is an existential novel of young adults selected at random, pitted against each other to fight to the death. that’s about the only similarity. ...

564 : Trudging II
work has left nothing but stress. tomorrow is inevitably the worst work day I’ll have ever experienced. the supervisor and a another are out, and so I’ll be supervising. not only that, but to replace the other, I’ll have an individual with no strong skills. they’ve been working for over four months, and still lack even the common sense skills. time to apply.

563 : Tribute
hunger games tomorrow, quite stoked. I know there’s a lot of hype, and of course there are the adolescents who’ve taken into this hype, but it has a decent plot, fluid characters, and of course the beautification of death. a lot of the criticism I’ve heard, comes from the battle royale crowd. admittedly when I first heard the sypnopsis, I thought of battle royale. I think hunger...

561 : Smogon
while on the topic of portable gaming, I thought I’d mention I’ve been running black version again. I’ve taken a more competitive approach this time around with meta-tactics and effort value points. I’ve been trying to create a team that’s well rounded against any and all teams, but nothing I’ve made so far seems to have worked.

560 : 真・女神転生
I downloaded persona three recently. I’ve always been fond of the series, but never bothered to run it. utilizing the playstation portable now, I downloaded a lot of games, persona three among others such as final fantasy and metal gear. reading more into the series of persona, I learned that each one is centered around a japanese urban legend. I think this aspect of the plot and...

559 : Liberal Arts
having many followers interested in the arts, but pursuing careers in the other disciplines due to the economy or other various reasons, I read this article. it talks about the presence of the humanities in a society which values career ready secondary education over the humanities, an outlet with very little to offer. I don’t want to summarize it, as it wouldn’t do the article...

557 : 告白
a year ago on this night, I confessed. I was nervous the entire way back, and knew it had to be done that night. I remember the heart attack and a half and shallow breathe when trying to speak through the silence to confess, but nothing. only when we had arrived at the station did I find enough courage to outright say it.

I think by now a lot of people have heard of the invisible children organization and their current campaign. there are those that have seen their short film and felt pathos. quickly urging to spread the word. those of you aren’t wrong for doing so. your intentions are in the right place. the organization itself however, has come under a lot of fire for it’s misconduct and abuse of...

555 : Thematic Apperception Test
it’s the middle of the week and I attended another psych lecture. last week it was traits and which are inherit and which are external influence. this afternoon was on motivation. traits define ‘how’ a person acts and feels, while motivation or the ‘need’ is the ‘why’ a person acts and feels. behavior is the combination of traits, motivation, and the cross...

554 : 地獄
I got around to finally viewing the 1960 japanese film 地獄. I didn’t want to classify it as a horror film, as the genre itself wasn’t at all founded until much later, but would prove to influence films like the ring or the grudge. the film itself explores the sins of individuals, and the stages of purgatory one faces in hell. the intesresting bit is the essence of a doppleganger in the...
