Copy pasta blog
Posted 14 years agoThis is from my blog I took from another website I frequent at for indie game developers. It's a pretty small patch of people these days and we usually just talk to each other about our lives. I posted this blog on their not too long ago but I think I'll put it here too. This is only a part of the blog so sorry if some of it is missing.

I’d say a majority of us are socially awkward people, and growing up is tough. I think it’s pretty healthy to put thoughts down on record and share them, sure we may be slightly anonymous but I wouldn’t say we’re strangers. We all need some positive reinforcement once in a while, for both our small emotional issues and our large personal problems. A good amount of us have posted about our lives, our quests for self identification, for love, for acknowledgement, and sometimes simply for finding what makes us smile. Life is really fucking strange, half the time I don’t know where things will go, where I’ll go, or who I am. Our generation simply doesn’t coexists well with the awkwardness of growing up. Humans are pleasure seekers, we want to be happy all the time, and people our age have lived their entire lives with pleasure being granted almost instantaneously. You want entertainment? Flip open a phone, turn on the television, jump on your computer, grab your controller, it’s all around us and it’s all easily obtainable. You want food? Go the the fridge, grab a snack from the pantry, go the the grocery, go to a fast food restaurant, it’s all around us and it’s all easily obtainable. You want to socialize? Pull out your cellphone, jump on skype, join a chat room, post on a forum, comment on a facebook status, yadda yadda yadda easily obtainable. You want love? You want to know your niche in life? You want to know who you are? All of our emotional needs take time, time that just doesn’t feel right in our instantaneous lives. This is my reasoning for why so many people get depressed these days, things just feel out of reach to us, out of our control, and that upsets us because we like control. We like controlling when we talk to people, we like controlling when we're hungry and when we're not, we like getting pleasure when we want it. When we can’t control something as seemingly small as our emotions we feel empty, and that emptiness doesn’t feel small at all.
What does all of this mean though? Does this mean that there is no hope to get these emotional needs? Of course not. Just. Be. Patient. Would you want love and identity to be just as instantaneous as the rest of your life? Available on every street corner and advertised on the right side of youtube videos? Of course not, that would kill the beauty of it all, that would kill it’s purpose. Does that mean that you should sit back and hope for something to come your way? Of course not, that’s the thing about life, you have to live. Get out there, talk to people, we are social animals and are extremely dependent on other people. Obviously I can’t say want everyone needs, and I’m getting away from my point: don’t get caught up on something just because it’s taking time to develop, don’t completely depend on others for happiness while at the same time don’t completely depend on yourself, life is strangely long don’t rush it, it’s not about the destination.
And yeah. Stupid blog. It’s just my input, idk what the hell I’m talking about, but I don’t think anyone does.

Don't take acedemic classes over the summer
Posted 15 years agoMy paper is due tomorrow. I haven't slept in 36 hours.
On Saturday I'm flying to Japan. I paid 2k for the ticket and hotel. I am really excited.
I'll be gone for 2 weeks. Not that it matters, I've been gone for so long as it is. Sorry.
I don't think I'm much of a furry. I like social communities.
Bunny hat.

Got my wisdom teeth pulled
Posted 15 years agoI threw up three times and spent 2 days with a stomach ache and head ache.
Sorry I haven't been on.
Too many journals to comment.
Too many submissions.
Sorry ChickODee and BioLain, I haven't even started on working on what you guys requested.
Still recovering so brb.

Posted 15 years agoI think I've said it before that I won't be submitting very often due to my laziness, but now it's even more so thanks to comm college being a whore to my free time. So yeah, don't be expecting activity or any thing >_>
kkThanksLove.

Hello friends and watchers
Posted 15 years agoHai, this is my first journal :D
So be nice.
My name is WAFFO, and I like waffles.
Yus, you have to spell my name in all caps >:P
I recently got into pixel art and animations so that will pretty much be the running theme on my page. I also like to program computer games in my spare time so when I finish them I give links to all my friends :3 Then you can tell me how horrid they are XD
A little about myself, I live in sunny Southern California, and am currently in community college. I'm 19 and I'm a guy (in case some of you were not sure). I still live under the roof of my strict and annoying parents. :( For music I prefer drum and bass (variation of techno) but I also listen to the occasional rock and roll. Pretty much all of my music is from the UK... And I'm not sure if I'm a furry, I just like ferrets and enjoy wearing my bunny hat :P
Oh and I do have scraps, but those just from me screwing around :P
KK thanks.
