A week went by

And the forecast is: next 3 weeks will fly even faster.

Gotta love University.

Awesome!

This is shaping up to be the worst weekend of my life. Or at least the worst for the last 5 years or so...

The worst weekend of your life? Or the best? - Sounds like a challenge to me.

Either I turn this weekend around or I'm going to spend it whining here.

And rename myself, 'Whining McWhiner'.

Human Mind is incredible

Even when you do the right thing, you're honest, you're real, you live up to your ideals, you can still feel guilty as fuck.

It's staggering.

I'm not annoyed, I'm not annoyed...

I'm not annoyed.

I'm not annoyed.

I'm not annoyed.

I'm not FUCKING annoyed.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Ufff. Much better.

Annoyance-proof

Hi! I'm 24.

I'm going to try to start an annoyance-proof version of myself until Sunday.

This ought to be fun.

Skyrim

I need to try this game

Lloyd Banks ft Eminem - Where I'm At

FF smack talk

Still on Fantasy Football

By the way...

Fantasy Football?

I'm a fucking genius at it.

And I'm spending half of the time I was before.

Found a couple of experts opinions I like to gather every week, and then I go with my gut on difficult calls. Been playing out really well so far. I've been winning 3 out of each 4 games, EVERY week.

I'm awesome.

Talk about a sense of pride

Yesterday I promised myself I wouldn't go to sleep until I had all my University stuff printed and organized.

Major success.

I did go to sleep at 6 am though, lol :s

To wake up at 11 am to go do a University Group Project that was cancelled 5 mins before the time.

Gotta love my colleagues.

Still, mustn't grumble.

Crusaders '11

Talk about being 24 tomorrow... Here's a great reason how I know I've been living my life so far.

I imagine myself in 50 years looking at this picture, proud.

I need more pictures for this album.

Instead... Here's a song:

"Uncle Cracker - Follow me" (Remember this?)

I'm 24 next Wednesday

I should whine about it.

Let's get into the Christmas spirit

After all, it's already November...

Greece

Dream Theater - Space-Dye Vest

F Winter

The Kooks - Naive

Pretty good.

A couple of notes

I'm getting pretty tired of these attention seeking women. Seriously, I'm going to make a list of some of the ridiculous shit I've been getting lately, and present it as proof to whoever ends up with me as why I'm such a relationshipophobe.

I fucking hate winter, I really do.

I like living with my parents. Scratch that. I don't mind living with my parents. It's not great, but I don't have to give explanations unless I want to, I pay/take care of my clothing, food and cleaning, and I know it's good for them too, as they'd probably kill themselves or each other if I wasn't around. BUT, this panic and drama whenever my 35 yr old brother does something childish is getting old, and annoys me so much more than my silence whenever they come to talk to me about it, shows.

University is getting pretty much a snoozefest, most of my colleagues are turning out to be unbearable idiots, and I'm getting increasingly anti-social.

My birthday is coming up, I need to get a fucking plan to evade niceties on that day really fucking quick.

I don't know if it is just one thing, or all of the above, but I'm starting to get those idgaf anti-social vibes again. I've been considering turning off cell phones again, but I'll have to think of something else... I'm getting soft. That's what it is.

At least there's one thing keeping me sane: American Football. Bless that shit.

About that ego

It's not that bad, really.

There are some things bigger, stronger than my ego, that crush it in milliseconds:

• My never-ending quest search for my future wife
• The unconditional love of family and friends
• Whenever one of those people, or even a complete stranger does something heroic (I don't mean hollywood heroic, just, simply heroic)
• Knowing how lucky I am to be born in this era, in this country, with all these amazing conditions

To be bold

In my family, we don't have that tradition.

Everyone just aims to be comfortable.

Comfort is good, of course, it's comfy, but if you never leave your comfort zone, you lose on so much... I know this for a fact.

Some of the best things in my life started when I challenged my family's mentality of being comfortable: Scouts, American Football, Road Trips, Dropping out of Law School, Not Accepting Bullshit Relationships.

I want to be BOLDER, to do mistakes of greater boldness, but I feel sucked into this "No, don't aim higher, be here, be comfortable, this is not bad" place. I don't want "not bad", I want fucking GOOD, GREAT. Mediocrity is just not for me. It fucking eats my insides just thinking about it.

I see myself thinking, okay, I'll play a good boy for now, but when I reach this age or that age, or when I leave my parents home, or when I have a decent amount of money...

It feels like I keep delaying it, and I fear somewhere along the way I'll just forget about it and become like these people...

Okay, okay, I have an ego big enough to know that'll never happen, but, I KNOW I'm missing out on mistakes I should be making. It feels this road I'm taking is just a slow, boring road to nowhere. Ten years from now, I'll be thinking, "wow, look at all that time I wasted playing a good boy, doing what I was 'supposed to do'"...

Maybe that's needed, that's important, to make small mistakes, slowly, taking my time and learning along the way... But I feel I can make really bold stuff, and if it fails and I fall on my face, it'll take only a couple of days to get back on my feet and try again.

Anyway, it's just a rant. Note to self: I do need to surround myself with people with this sort of mentality more, and also try to spread it to my group of friends as well.

After re-reading all I just wrote I can safely conclude I still have a gigantic ego. My humble week only worsened it.

Goodbye Facebook?

Attention citizens of the world,

We wish to get your attention, hoping you heed the warnings as follows:

Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed. If you are a willing hacktivist or a guy who just wants to protect the freedom of information then join the cause and kill facebook for the sake of your own privacy.

Facebook has been selling information to government agencies and giving clandestine access to information security firms so that they can spy on people from all around the world. Some of these so-called whitehat infosec firms are working for authoritarian governments, such as those of Egypt and Syria.

Everything you do on Facebook stays on Facebook regardless of your “privacy” settings, and deleting your account is impossible, even if you “delete” your account, all your personal info stays on Facebook and can be recovered at any time. Changing the privacy settings to make your Facebook account more “private” is also a delusion. Facebook knows more about you than your family.

You cannot hide from the reality in which you, the people of the internet, live in. Facebook is the opposite of the Antisec cause. You are not safe from them nor from any government. One day you will look back on this and realise what we have done here is right, you will thank the rulers of the internet, we are not harming you but saving you.

The riots are underway. It is not a battle over the future of privacy and publicity. It is a battle for choice and informed consent. It’s unfolding because people are being raped, tickled, molested, and confused into doing things where they don’t understand the consequences. Facebook keeps saying that it gives users choices, but that is completely false. It gives users the illusion of and hides the details away from them “for their own good” while they then make millions off of you. When a service is “free,” it really means they’re making money off of you and your information.

Think for a while and prepare for a day that will go down in history. November 5 2011, #opfacebook . Engaged.

This is our world now. We exist without nationality, without religious bias. We have the right to not be surveilled, not be stalked, and not be used for profit. We have the right to not live as slaves.

We are anonymous

We are legion

We do not forgive

We do not forget

Expect us"

(A small part of me is rooting for these guys)

5th of November

Snark

This is very needed. Not just on the Internet.

God exists

And he seems to have a great sense of humor.

November 1st - All Saints Day

Did you know this was also the day New Orleans was awarded a NFL Team?

So, in November 1st, 1966, the New Orleans Saints are born.

Their first victory was only a year later though, November 5th, 1967: http://www.nfl.com/videos/auto/09000d5d823ae33a/This-Day-in-Football-The-Saints-are-born
