Precisely. I try to stay away from those feelings because they're essentially just unproductive - and for some magical reason being productive (even if it's for no clear purpose) makes me happy. It's just that certain stimuli, like the mall, pushes the universal question of purpose to the front of my mind whether I like it or not.

True, I guess not all malls are the same. The one that came to mind during my post was this one: http://www.mallatmillenia.com/

How so much commotion means so little on the grand scale of things. I guess this could be applied to most social settings, but something about how big and "grand" the mall is gives such a discomforting feeling for what it's actually worth (nothing but hype for the sake of hype). If I ever went inside a club though, it would probably be much worse.

For some reason, I can handle the taste of whiskeys much more than I can vodkas. It probably has something to do with the deceitfulness of the clearness.

In other news, Jagex is still the worst game designing company in the world? I'm going back to OT. Even by a "marketing perspective", this is one of the most idiotic decisions I've ever heard a company make, which is saying quite a bit. EDIT: And the reason I say they are the worst gaming company in the world is because Runescape was a good idea, but what they did with it... What they did with it...

It's one of those hit-or-miss foods. If it's cold or wet (as opposed to moist), just forget about it.

Nihilistic would be a better suited word there. Sorry, but seeing "happiness" dangled in front of me like a carrot makes me wonder what we're all in this for. I don't get why, according to "hard working" capitalists, quality can be nothing more than a facade. I would much rather build than embellish.

Mad Men. Who the hell do they think they are?

Eloquent.

Taking everything in the English language literally is the equivalent of beating a dead horse.

I thought psychological factors (such as stress) do play a large role in your body's physical health though. Even though they're practically synonyms, physiology and psychology still go hand in hand.

As far as financial inequality goes, there are several countries with this issue but the US takes the cake. I thought this was an interesting graph:

My god, the Canals are [bleep]ed up in Team Deathmatch. I don't think I've lost one yet because all there is to it is zigzagging around the cargo with a shotgun. They really should've thought a little harder on balancing their stages. While they might look nicer and add more of a variety, I preferred BF:BC2's flow of combat.

Africans pierce their babies' ears and Middle Eastern countries force their woman to cover their faces. I don't know where you got the idea that America is the only country that treats girls like sex objects. You should see how some Asians dress their kids.

Does this include your ingame experiences? Does this include any bullying/harassment you may have received during your childhood? Does this include every heartbreak you've had, every ounce of suffering you've endured, every depression phase, etc.? It's a sad fact, but it's easy to suppress feelings and memories of the hard times. Of course. I can't say I remember every single fact about my life, but I've never suppressed depressing events. I've learned how to deal with negative situations from those experiences.

Nice post, Ginger. :thumbup:

"...or not."

Every word every person has ever said, every object I have every touched or looked at, every mistake, every shiver of excitement, every dream, every sound, every site, and every experience has all changed my life forever. Hopefully, there's still a lot more changes to come.

Eh, people will treat you like shit even if you do like all the shiny nice things they like or not. There's literally no escaping it, which is why the only thing you can do to please society is to please yourself (as long as you're not causing any harm and you're not).

You know, he very well could've been an idiot before he smoked the marijuana. Not to say people haven't done stupid things that were attributed to the drug, but an amount of personal responsibility is always present, especially in cases like these. I guess my point is that the effect of drugs are not so cut-and-dry. Some people will become extremely meticulous and cautious after taking the drug, and then on the other hand, we have those who believe they can fly.

When everything stands still and your field of vision sinks farther back into your head, and for a few moments you can stop thinking and just take it all in.

Isn't that a bit relative though? The only reason I said 80 was the ideal typing speed was to make the point that there is no "ideal typing speed". :P

Had a pretty crappy day with the sleep deprivation, an essay about the problems with America being due, a math test, terrible Battle Field deaths. Our Christmas lights are up now and I feel better.

When people type out a long rant directed at some random idiot, and it's actually more applicable to their own life. Actually, who am I kidding? That doesn't annoy me - it's freaking hilarious.
