And here it is again...

Constantly, I'm battling myself, between what I should be doing, and what others expect me to be doing. I'm always putting thing's off, even if it will benefit me, especially to do with education. For years now, I have been leaving things until the last moment, and in the mean-time, relaxing, socializing and generally not doing much.
Sometimes, I validity my actions, by calling it thought time, time for me, time to develop, a time when, I can grow as a person, and this can be used as my inspiration. Truthfully, this does actually pay off, this state that I am in, of just wandering around aimlessly, sometimes it takes me to wonderful places, and I meet some very inspiring people.
The huge F*****G problem; is me. I love doing these things, well, most of them. But the problem with doing them, is that I either forget to record them, which honestly, I have to do, because my memory, well, lets just say that it is of little existence.
I have so many memories inside of me , that maybe subconsciously help me, but honestly, I don't believe that most of them do. And so here is to me, finally, doing something about these memories.

I do not have a clue, why I have just wrote this.
It's not exactly what I need to concentrate one right now.

'Facebook Friend' Is Another Way of Saying 'Stranger'
I don't own an iPod, XBox, or a Blackberry. I avoid Facebook and MySpace. I like technology when it saves time or makes life easier. I try to steer clear when it wastes time or complicates life. I proudly never learned to program a VCR, with its displacement by the DVD vindicating my ignorance. I wear your "atavist" charge as a badge of honor! Despite repeated entreaties that I start a Facebook page, I have stayed away. Matt Labash articulates my aversion to anti-social social networking sites in a must-read Weekly Standard cover story. For my mouthpiece Labash, Facebook is a cyber cesspool of superficiality, exhibitionism, and voyeurism, where "there is the crushing anticlimax of people re-entering your life who might've fallen away into your past, because in each other's past is where you mutually belong."
