Please don’t fret
No need for distress
You’ll soon be out of that dress
I must confess
I was struck by your beauty.
But it would a dereliction of duty
If I didn’t please your booty.
If you’re feeling naughty
And want to touch my body
Then come on hottie
Lose the clothes
And let’s stem the rose.
I must confess
We’re a hot mess.
Put your head on my breast
And let’s take a rest.
Lest we go into cardiac arrest.
I must confess
Your chest is the best.
Another round of this sex fest?
I must confess
you’re the horniest, yet.
If you’ve spent any time on the web, chances are you’ve encountered at least one of these characters.
1.The Spammer
No matter what the conversation they will be there hocking their product. Identifiable by their poor grammar and syntax. While most are programs now a days, you’ll meet the rare human spammer, who like all con artists tries to lure you in by stroking your ego.
2.The Troll
While this term has become ubiquitous in its application, it simply means one who deliberately attempts to derail a conversation by saying something inflammatory.
3. The Keyboard Commando
This is the person who posts all about how he/she would have handled the situation better. Never mind they have no experience outside watching movies, TV and playing video games. Derp they’re “experts.”
4.The Bully
Under the cloak of anonymity these people say things they never would in real life. Favorite past times include arguing about stupid shit no ones cares about and making death threats over the silliest things.
5. The Psycho
A close cousin to the bully these are ones who take things into the real world. Stalking, harassing calls and texts, they don’t know when to stop. Often found on dating and hook up sites they pass themselves as normal until you start to see cracks in their mask. No close friends or long term relationships, issues with boundaries and jealousy. And of course trying to control every aspect of your life. Run far away.
6. Casper the Friendly Ghost
These are people you meet who seem nice enough ,but then you never interact with them again, as if they up and disappeared.
7.The Social Justice Warrior
These are people are only about having their egos stroked under the guise of pushing for social justice for a marginalized group. Most often found on tumbler, instagram and twitter shilling for one politically correct cause or another.
They are found of spouting about peace, civility and equality. Unless you disagree with their double standards, appeals to emotions and use of post modernist bs to prop up their fallacy ridden screeds.
Then be prepared for an avalanche of ad hominid attacks.Their favorite go-to being you’re the worst person in the world, ever. Oh and you couldn’t get laid in a whore house if you tried. If you haven’t figured them out in the first five minutes you deserve to deal with these pseudo-intellectual twats.
8. The Con
These posters create fake personas with the intent of scamming people with their sad stories. Other cons have faked having a terminal illness or being from an oppressed group. They then sit aback and bask in the money and adoration. There’s also Cat-fishing. Chances are if you meet a girl who looks like Megan Fox but is fluent in geek; she’s a man, baby.
9.The Addict
Be it sex, drugs, or drama these people have one thing in common. They love playing the victim and will drag you down to their level if you let them.
10.The Perfectionist
Otherwise known as Grammar Nazis. They scourer the interwebs looking for anyone not as learned as they and flame them for their lack of grammarian skills. While this is warranted in extreme cases. Like someone who doesn’t know the difference between your and you’re; to, too, and two; or its and it’s. In general this is a smokescreen for their main objective: being a pretentious troll.
11. The Narcissist
They have nothing going for them besides a cute face or body and never miss an opportunity to talk about their favorite subject: them. With their pretty- than-thou attitude they’re the first one’s to start slinging ad hominid attacks then get butt hurt when they get called out on their bs.
12. The Bore
While nice enough, talking to a pet rock is more fun.
13.The Basement Dweller They have no higher aspirations in life than getting to the next level in WOW, or ranking up in COD. They often still live at home well into their 30s and beyond. They have more baggage than an airport and expect you to fix everything for them. Run a fast as you can.
14.The Newbie
Young dumb and full of optimism, their souls haven‘t crushed by the machine yet. They mean well but have no fucking idea who they are , what they want or what the world outside their pragmatic bubble is like. Give them a few years and their blinders should fall off.
15. The Pervert
These are the creepy posters who are old enough to be your grand parents yet see nothing wrong with hitting on you. They never fail to turn the conversation to sex but are always quick to say they were “just kidding” when they cross the line and get called out on it. While there’s nothing wrong with talking about sex and sexuality, what the hell does that have to do with the deficit or the new iPhone?
Recently researchers at IBM have come up with a computing system with chipset architecture modeled after the human brain. Each chipset can act independently while still communicating with each other. The SyNAPSE Project began in 2008 and its end goal is to build a brain in a box.
While still a ways off from their goal of ten billion neurons and a hundred trillion synapses, the current model introduced in 2011 has chipsets of 256 neurons(CPUs) and axons for communications, connected to 65,536 synapses.
Led by Dr, Dharmendra S. Modha the project’s goal is to create brain like computers to complement current systems. For more information, check out Sara Gates’s article on the Huffinghton Post here.

While this may still be years off this marks the beginning of technology which has the potential to extend our lives past the expiration date of our bodies.
While this concept has been explored in fiction and nonfiction has anyone stopped to ask, not if you should do it when the technology becomes available, but why? Think about this, sure this could provide new lives to those with terminal illnesses or who suffer from limited mobility. But what about the person seeking immortality?
Would you really want to live forever and see the world as you knew it disappear? Think of how many things have changed between the time you were a child and today. Now multiple that by several thousands.
Even if you could adjust to the changes what would you do? As a kid do you remember being utterly bored during summer vacation? Now imagine those three months being three centuries.
It would be an endless quest to find something to fill up all that time. Sure it sounds fun at first, until you realize there is a finite number of things to do. Honestly, how many trips can you go on or movies can you watch before you get sick of it all?
But here’s the other issue: how are you going pay for everything? Even without taking inflation into the equation, you’ll spend millions on food and housing alone. Not to mention the costs to maintain and upgrade your shiny brain and the casing that goes with it.
There are other issues to consider before plopping your brain into a machine. The planet is already over population as it is. Would you want to live on it two or three hundred years from now when people are fighting over rights to resources like fresh water and food? And what about climate change? With the ice caps completely gone and levels risen several feet would the world be worth living in it?
This brings the most important issue to the front. The assumption humans will be around for another century or two. Given the current state of affairs it’s easy to imagine a not too distant future where the world has been destroyed either by a nuclear conflict or chemical/biological warfare.
Imagine you get this procedure, get bored and put your brain on ice for a few decades. When you wake up the shit has hit the fan and you’re stuck in this crap shack world.
The need to carry on after we’ve died isn’t just a biological imperative imbued in us by evolution. It’s a product of our collective narcissism. That we deem ourselves so important to the gene pool we must procreate and bring another person into this world, is the height of arrogance.
The legacy we leave behind need not be genetic. It’s the words we’ve spoken to those who remain when we’re gone. It’s in the actions we’ve taken in this life and the lives we’ve affected while here. So if you want to live forever than create something that touches the lives of others and makes them feel important; that they’re not alone and that they matter.
As it’s Friday you’re probably looking forward to the weekend so this will be a quick blurb. If you’re anything like me, after all day you like to unwind. Anytime i haven’t been busy working out or doing something writing related I’ve been playing with Persona 4 Golden on my PS Vita.
New to the Persona universe had no clue what the game was about, but soon found myself engrossed with the story and game play. While similar to others in the genre, it has all the things that make an RPG great. The world is unique and fun to explore and populated with characters you grow to love.
The thing I like most about is no game in a long time has made me think as much or gotten the rush that comes with defeating a boss, or the nail biting, on the edge of your seat tension that comes when you’re low on health and manna and have to decide whether to go for broke or play it cautious.
The other thing that makes the game enjoyable is the social link system which rewards you for hanging out with different people.Just like in real life the choices you make affect you and everyone around you.
Bad habits are hard to break, and for me it’s biting my nails. No what I do goes beyond that. I pick at the cuticle, twisting and pulling until it’s bloody and raw. I chew away until there’s nothing left for my teeth to reach. Then come the tweezers and clippers to finish the job. In the past the compulsion to bite my nails rendered them a festering mess.
My parents tried everything from keeping my hands covered to putting hot sauce and other bitter substances on them, but they didn’t work. At the height when there was no longer any finger nails to worry away, I turned to my toenails, going so far as to rip one of the nails from the toe.
Over the years I’ve gotten better at resisting the urge to do this but it still happens especially when I’m nervous or stressed out. It always starts the same. My foot gets to tapping, which leads picking.
Picking leads to biting which results in hang nails and more picking until I have to get the bit of offending skin and nail out. Sated I can go back to what I was doing before the urge struck.
If I had to pin point when this began it was probably when I was 7 or 8 and came in response to not having any control over myself. The pain served as a release valve for everything I kept bottled up.
As I’ve gotten older I learned to vent things in more constructive ways like working out and writing. Though I don’t bite my nails to same degree I’ll still find myself with the obsessive need.
So what bad habits do you have and how have you tried to kick them?

One of the things that inspires me is math and physics. When I was younger I loved to learn and gravitated towards physics in high school. I used to hate math until I fell in love with its beauty in college.
At first I hated doing proofs, until I turned them into a game. I knew what answer was. It was getting there that was the challenge. I struggled but also found I enjoyed the process. The world seemed to slip away and it was just me and the numbers.
I spent hours studying and working extra problems at the end of the chapter to get the concepts down. While some of it was boring I discovered the beauty and simplicity of numbers had a calming affect on me.
I found myself slowing down to prolong assignments so I could continue to enjoy the serenity of it all. As I gained more proficiency my proofs because more efficient and elegant. What used to take entire pages, only took a few lines.
When I took calculus I discovered I could do most problems in my head, though it was simple addition and subtraction that tripped me up. Integration by parts was a head ache but I mastered it after long hours of study.
Calculus gave me a deeper understanding of how to think and a greater appreciation for the things you’re capable of if you challenge yourself. I find myself longing to crack open my old math books and see if I still have it.
When I look out into the world, among the chaos I see order and reason in the laws of physics that govern us. That the ever changing tide of events can be reduced to equations, rather than being cold or clinical I find great joy and comfort in this knowledge.
The laws governing the heavens equally apply to us. The beauty of numbers is beyond measure, for they link us and the rest of the universe. We are the children of stars and once we die our atoms will return whence they came, and the great cosmic dance will continue.
Introduction
Science doesn’t know everything, nor does it claim to. However it is the best and most accurate method we have for understanding how the universe functions.
1.Facts are subject to change
As new information becomes available our knowledge must expand to incorporate this data. Far be it from being a weakness, this ensures what we know is accurate.
2.Information Paradox
New questions are raised when attempting to answer old ones. In this way we will never “know” everything. Rather than being disappointing this gives us unlimited areas to explore.
3. Omniscience is boring
At the turn of the last century it was said all there was to know about physics had been discovered. Then Einstein and others came along and changed the game. If there were no more questions to answer the world would be a stagnant dead place.
Conclusions
Because there are gaps in our knowledge doesn’t mean you can insert whatever supernatural or new age crap you want. Nor does it mean you should askew learning new facts. After all were it not for science many of the things you enjoy today would not exist.
Every situation in life is a learning experience. It is a daily choice to make decisions and live with them. No matter the outcome, right or wrong, we are learning and if we are learning than we are succeeding …everyday.

Right now I’m in a transitional phase. I’ve migrated my blog from blogger to to a personal WordPress site and it’s a bit of a headache figuring our how to customize things and get it the way I want.
While it has been a struggle figuring things out, like how to set up an archive page, that aha moment when I figure it out makes it all worth it.
This process has taught me so much. Not just in terms of patience but also seeing things through until completion. I must have spent a five or six hours total trying to work the bugs out, and while there are still things on my to do list, I’m not stressing about it.
Part of life is dealing with challenges as they come so instead of hanging my head about not being an expert in WordPress I’m going to keep chipping away until I am proficient . Sure I could have shelled out the extra cash for the hosting company to do all the work, but then I wouldn’t have the satisfaction of doing it myself.
Over the past year I challenged myself to get serious about writing. And though I’ve fell in ruts since then I’ve found my grove and keep my promise to write something every day. So I’m also going to learn something new about WordPress everyday and set weekly goals to accomplish related to it.
My question to you is what things have you been putting off because you don’t have the time or patience to learn how to do it? Let me know in the comments sections and together maybe we can hold each other accountable for reaching weekly goals.
