Life Update #1
Hey guys. Haven't done blogs in awhile so here I go
Pass few days I feel very disconnected with ideas. Nothing seems to be coming together like it use to. I guess my mental processing ability is "normal" since I have been taking my medication. Writers block is what I have been experiencing past couple of months. Hopefully as I start writing more that block will start to decay.
What have I been up to. Basically
1. Preparing for convocation
2. Playing World of Warcraft. Ah the mystical world of warcraft. I am thinking of reading the books.
3. Losing weight. Right now I weight 206lbs, but I want to weight 180lbs.
If there is anything you guys want to ask me to blog about I will see what I can do. Life is pretty dry at the moment. Hopefully when my medications get reduced I will have better concentration to do more things.

Ah Koko... I feel so sad for you sometimes. Probably because you seem to be so depressed yourself about how your life is evolving. Like that statement above... I just picture you being sad when you write it. Like Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh. :-(
Convocation? What kind of convocation? The first thing I thought of was something like the Catholic Church's "confirmation"; because I think the Episcopalians {English Catholics} call it convocation... but I thought your family was Muslim. Do they have that, too? I.e., a ceremony where you are "confirmed" in your faith. Or are you just talking about a university graduation thing?
Regarding WoW... perhaps you should get some books on Addiction to read instead? :-)
Good luck with the dieting and weight loss. And yeah... maybe you could blog about what you think it means to be "normal"... and why the thought of being that way seems to depress you so much.

Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Interesting. I think that just being aware that our behavior is not always justified and taking on some personal responsibility can go a long way."
Lore replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."Maybe I take empathy and attempting to understand such actions by people to the extreme, but I think it is important to understand the causes of such behavior. You do bring up a good point about school shootings Nathaniel, in that the media makes…"
Nathaniel Mortazavi replied to Lore's discussion Condemning others to validate ourselves."I agree with the principle to an extent. However, in the case of school shooters, I don't think it can be justified. Same with rape. There's definitely a line, but like you said, those are the most extreme cases.
