Socializing

I’ve touched on this subject before in my posts. Due to my stuttering I have often chosen to leave things up for chance. As time goes on though, making good friends gets harder and harder. I have friends but I don’t hang out with them much at all. For the most part we all go to different Universities and we have our own crews.  So lately I have been spending a lot of Friday and for that matter Saturday nights at home. I haven’t gone out and enjoyed myself in quite a while. I often like to stay busy, take on extra work and study just so that I can have an excuse for being at home on a night when I really should be out enjoying being young.

Weight Gain

Growing up I was always kind of skinny. My role model has always been Arnold Schwarzenegger but it has been kind of hard to live up to my expectations when I was always so skinny.

The internet is filled with articles about how to improve you life in ten easy steps. How to make you a more memorable individual. How to improve you sex life. But that’s just it, very rarely will you actually stumbled upon a worthwhile article.

Life’s Lessons

You know that feeling when you observe something happening and everything just clicks? All the advice that you had been given, everything your parents kept pounding into your head. It all just made sense. You understood. As though you saw through the facade, into the inner workings of an idea.

Shyness is a Choice

It is my humble opinion that shyness is a choice. I believe that while we were growing up, we learned that saying less was safer. All of us have different reasons for being shy. We might even be shy only in certain situations but we chose to be shy, because we have learned that it brings us safety.

You stutter?

I do. It has held me back lots in life. It is the one barrier that I keep walking around not finding the power and the lift to leap over. I turned 21 today, I don’t feel old but I’m single and I strongly feel that I am because I hold back on opportunities too often.

Lucid Dreaming

Several days ago I was reading a rather in-depth “how to” about lucid dreaming. For those of you not familiar with lucid dreaming, the short description is something like,

“A lucid dream is a dream in which the person is aware that they are dreaming while the dream is in progress. In lucid dreams, it is often possible to exert conscious control over the dream characters and environment, as well as to perform otherwise physically impossible feats.“

Personality

Even though you talk to me, you haven’t met me. You’ve only met my representative.

Parking

I made a stupid decision and parked in a no parking zone of a side street. I got back only 10 minutes later to find an $80 ticket. Ironically I was parked beside a parking garage that would have cost me $2.50 to park.
