I think I'll try to squeeze in a quick blog before I go into work today, though I think Shiznit might be the only one who reads these XD. That's fine because I need to vent every so often. As I've mentioned I've been diagnosed with Schizo-affect disorder. That was in January of 2009. I was extremely resentful at the time and had all but given up on everything. I do think that gradually I have made a lot of steps in the right direction. Forgiving my cousin last year was the biggest step for me I think.

Although I do think I have made a lot of progress, I also think I have a very long way to go. I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety and depression. I think its because I care too much. I see all these horrible things happening in the world and I want to do something about it. Of course I can't fix everything. I've tried talking with people in my community about my concerns but it seems like no one cares. It also seems like they dismiss my concerns because of my diagnosis. Anyways I'll probably add more to this later but for now I need to head off to work.

ADDITION: Back from work. It was pretty long for 7 hours. I had regular coffee this morning so I don't think that helped with my anxiety. Any who I've been trying to adopt a more positive attitude but this is very challenging as I am naturally inclined towards negativity. I do think that starting to play the bass guitar will help with this. I'm an atheist but music is the closest thing I have to a religion. My best life experiences have been going to concerts. I could almost call them "spiritual". In any case I have tomorrow off from work so I might make a Vlog then. Till next time.

"Interesting points. I just want to clarify that I didn't mean that society gets all the blame in these scenarios. In my opinion, in some of these cases, there is a shared blame. Maybe referring to society as a whole was too much of a…"

What if we trusted you?: Jerry Michalski at TEDxCopenhagen 2012

Many institutions we take for granted are designed from a basis of mistrust. Skip school too often? Go to jail. Run that red light, even when nobody is around for blocks? Ticket. Movements around the world are finding new ways, flipping the model,…

"in my opinion, of course it was worth it and you know it, don't you? maybe you have overpaid for 90% of it, but at the same time you acquired invaluable opportunity and knowledge shared from those amazing professors you would have never met…"

"Empathy and understanding of a person's mindset and actions, while noble pursuits, do not provide an ability in relegating responsibility of such mindsets and actions to a certain party. Placing of blame and responsibility requires a…"

"Absolutely, I completely agree. The only way to solve the problem is to eliminate the cause. Exactly, the shooter gains worldwide fame over night. Why would a resentful, friendless, lonely, insane young man who wanted to leave an impression on the…"
