I was planning on writing a post and I had a topic in mind but I totally forgot what it was the last time I came to put up a post so this time I’m coming to tell you that I was planning on writing a post and I had a topic in mind but I totally forgot what it was the last time I came to put up a post.

Talk about confusion.

I thought school would get some blogging ideas into me, but all it’s done is forced me to meet cool new people who like to play the same games that I do. Is this a bad thing? I think yes. I wanted to use college as a means to stop playing video games, not play more. But now I want to play games competitively instead of casually, and even though that’s probably never going to happen, I like to entertain the idea that it’s possible.

Oh, right. I’m in a class that studies performance art (which, strangely, only covers dance and video art). Art is supposed to be the evocation of emotion through various physical media, but if the “artist” creates “art” without this intention, is it still considered art?

I put up a status a few days ago about mainstream music being not about portraying emotion and therefore not being considered music, but the way I worded it may have been a little confusing, since a lot of people misunderstood what I was trying to say.

My question to you is: can art that’s created only to make money be considered art? Leave a comment in the comments section below or post a video response.

The right-click button on my mouse died. So I can’t play games anymore. The right mouse button is one of the most important buttons in games. So I’m stuck here, with my thoughts. I enjoy it. It lets me think for once. Let’s list out thoughts that I can recollect:

The thing that bothers me most is when girls fake their smiles for pictures. Especially when they look better with their natural smiles. This is actually true with a lot of the girls I know.

I don’t look through guys’ pictures.

…not that I’m saying that I LOOK THROUGH girls’ photos.

Talking to a friend, I realized that I’m caught up in the illusion that it’s possible to go through life without making any mistakes. But isn’t that all what life is about? Making mistakes and learning from them? I’ve tried so hard to avoid mistakes that I’m missing out on all the lessons that are learned from them. The sooner I can apply this in my life, the better. I’ll have much more fun and learn so much more from other people.

Normally I wouldn’t post things from CNN, but this video, written by the guy who wrote the Everything is a Remix series (which is a magnificent series, by the way), proves some things that I was suspecting about Christianity.

I had recently begun to doubt. Someone once told me that if you aren’t doubting, your relationship isn’t healthy. But then I realized that I can’t believe everything everyone tells me. I don’t know whether or not I should believe him. I suppose I can find the answers by myself through the book that’s sitting on my desk right next to me, but …

You know how these things go.

I’m getting lost in it all. It’s all fake now. I’m becoming one of them. One of those people who have been in church so long that they forget what it’s all about. So what’s the point? Why keep going? Good question. I don’t know, either. I’m sure that, if I keep it up, I’ll eventually find the answer. And if I don’t, I’ll keep trying.  That’s why I keep attending church.

Everything is a remix. Watch the series.

Here’s Part 1.

As summer draws to a close, I feel the need to exercise my brain. But that isn’t really working. Instead I find myself huddled in front of my computer, slouching in my chair, staring at this monitor at which I am currently staring. Talking to people who just talk to me about nothing in particular, only here to waste the days away.

Something like that. ↑

Sometimes I wonder if there are secret organizations running the world. A group of people controlling where money goes at all points of a day. That’d be scary, dude.

That image above is from this video:

The second premise is from this video. (Embedding disabled by request).

It’s cool because it’s the same director. Interesting stuff.

As of writing these words, I have been awake for 34 hours and 15 minutes.

Since the musical-ish, people have been saying this to me a lot:

“I love you.”

And while I know that it’s all friendly and such, I can’t say it back to you. Some of you have noticed this. Don’t worry, it’s nothing personal. It’s just that I’m careful with my words. Well, not really CAREFUL. But I choose my words wisely.

And I choose that those three words, in the order that they’re in, will remain special. And will be saved for the one who’s special to me.

So yeah. If, in the past 18 years or so, you’ve said, “I love you,” to me and I didn’t tell you that I love you back, don’t be offended. Don’t be hurt. There’s a reason I do (or in this case, don’t do) things.

Carry on.

I haven’t played much video games in the past month. And I’m very happy about that fact. In fact, I have 11 hours logged in the past two weeks on Steam. I think that’s a new low record. Games are boring. And I’ve been trying not to play them again. Trying to spend as much time as possible away from the computer. But if I do that… then how will I survive in college when I’m supposed to spend “up to 40 hours” doing homework a week? What will happen to me then? Will I go off and party with friends rather than sitting in front of my computer all day like I’m doing now? Which is worse?

I’m getting back into Muse. Full swing. I’m not sure why. But I am fully enjoying it. Music. I want to try leading praise for a week. Just to see what it feels like. To see if I can actually lead a group of musicians. I need to prepare. Music majoring requires you to know how to conduct and stuff. Thundercats go! If you couldn’t already tell, I’m trying to make my ideas flow more cohesively–just another thing I’m trying to do to get prepared for college and writing papers. Although I’m not entirely sure if I’ll have to write many papers–Computer Science and Music Theory. Is there much to write about in either of those areas? They’re mostly just ideas and application.

Hi, Pastor James.
