Let's Talk Open-Mindedness and not freak out!

One of the things that helped me the most when I started getting into self-development/personal growth was: open-mindedness. I know the concept might sound very cliché and new age-ish (or at least it did to me), but it’s not necessarily its only connotation.

Before I continue discussing more… Continue

I Have Returned

Yeah, after my extended hiatus I have returned. Sorry for the delay, I've had some family issues with my father being in the hospital and such--he's fine now. It was just really rough for a while. I also hunted down a jackalope in Red Dead Redemption. That was by far the most annoying thing I've done in that game outside of having to kill a grizzly with a knife.

Prediction 1

The rivers will run red with blood.

As the Earth turns on its axis.

Nations will rise and fall.

And people will die in the year 2012.

Day 22&23 Epic Monk Mode

The reason I make a post for 2 days is because I've really messed up my sleep cycle, I kinda just fall a sleep for a few hours whenever...



For a 2 day-blog, it'll be a short one. I've basically just made the ear to my head model and attached it. The ear was by far the most trickiest and difficult thing to make for the head model. I will have look deeper into how to make better ones in the forums.…

Aiming high

After quitting video games I've spent a few days doing nothing, I would just listen to music all day, watch Youtube videos and do other counter productive stuff.

Last night I was thinking about who knows what(I have bad memory so I don't remember) when I had an idea. I spent all night developing this idea into what I would usually call an impossible goal, but not this time, something that I've learnt in the past few days is that there is nothing wrong with aiming high and being…

Day 16 Epic Monk Mode

This will be a shorty, I basically spent all day at my grandmas house today, while pwning at life. She makes the best food ever by the way, it's been a while since we really chatted so it was alot of fun.

I got home pretty late and cut up some salad for maybe 3 days, and prepared a fruit breakfast for tomorrow.

I'm super tired now so I'm just going to eat half a 'turkey-salad-sandwish' and go to bed, goodnight!

3. Week Summary



1.

I had alot of important stuff to get out of the way today, and that's the reason why I didn't work as much as I wanted to.

And to be honest I also spent some time watching a few videos on youtube, but the videos I watched will also help me in the long run cause they were kind of self-development-ish and really they really motivated me.

Owning at Life

I'm sorry if yesterday's blog caused some unwanted controversy. Today I'm at a rinds house, who I consider to be my Furious, and we have 3 other friends round. We had a barbecue, we smoked and we are drinking plenty of booze. I, consider this as owning at life, being around bros and getting the spirit of Athene in you. I believe that Athene is in everyone, an entity that is waiting to be awoken and to help, no, make someone be a better person. Not a better person in their personality but in… Continue
