Holiday Blues..

i just got back from spending the holiday week with the family. .. only to wake up with a cold.

here is a run down of my holiday vacation:

Dec 24th arrived in Ingalls.

Dec 25th spent the day with family had a big lunch spent the most of the afternoon challenging my Dad at Wii Golf.

Dec 26th – 27th most of the time was spent helping my brother install a system in his mustang … now im an expert in installing them in a 2004 mustang, dont ever ask me to help install one ever again.

Dec 28th left the parents house and came home sore throat was starting to develope this day.

Now ive never been a fan of the holidays … you can jsut call me scrooge… i always come home and get sick after i have spent time away from home. it never helps i jsut spent the last 5 days around ppl who smoke. Im glad to be home and heres to a quick recovery from this cold.

Wintersday is an event which celebrates the Tyrian New Year according to the Mouvelian Calendar. It features towns decorated with gifts, snow, candy, and holiday NPCs.

OK this just goes to show you how nerdy I am. Each year in the world of GuidWars there is a celebration called Wintersday. and for the next couple of weeks im going to be spending alot of time in game playing. hopefully this year im planning on blogging about my adventures during wintersday festivities with screen shots and all … i know im pretty lame, i dont care i enjoy being the nerd that i am you dont like it tough.

thinking different

when you saw this you might have thought this was another rant about Apple well it isn’t.

I’ve often pondered if certain individuals dress and act to stand out in order to fit in. It’s an amusing concept. I don’t wish to come off as stereotyping certain groups of people, because the idea of individuals truly believing that they are nonconformists from the whole of society (although they may be unconsciously conformists to certain subgroups in society) can be readily applicable to any number of individuals. Does anyone else see the irony in the saying that “We are ALL unique?

the people that strive to be different are conforming to not-conform because they try too. meaning that the people that are “conformists” on accident are less conforming than those that strive to be non-conformists.

these days, if you want to conform, you have to be a nonconformist. there is a belief, that there IS such a thing as a nonconformist. However, they ARE rare. they believe the “True nonconformists” conform to their OWN ideas Since they only conform to themselves, depending on what type of person they are. In short, a nonconformist is a totally honest and transparent person who says what they think does what they want.

Everyone has the need to feel loved and this causes people to want to fit into specific groups. What the person’s interests are likely determines where he/she fits in. After the person feels loved, then the person is likely more comfortable in his/her surroundings and then their individuality/uniqueness may start to show more.

Quite the paradox, I would say. By being a “Non-conformist” you immediately conform to others who believe they are “non-conformists.” Conformity is absolute, there is no escaping it. So, the real question is: does non-conformity exist?
