1. Hunger. For about there years now, I don't think I've really been hungry. At times, I get urges to put food into my mouth, but they're for various reasons that generally don't concern genuine hunger. Sometimes I want to taste something delicious (the most superficial level of hunger), Golden Triangle or Veggie Bistro (and as much as Linzi says Veggie Bistro isn't as good as Happy Family, it IS good). Other times I feel like eating something after I go to the gym, but as I begin to eat it, I realize I'm already full. When I wake up in the morning, I don't eat. I haven't eaten breakfast on a regular basis since I was a little kid. After some classes, lunch comes around, and I figure I might as well eat something, it seems normal. I go to the CI, get some food, eat some food, not feeling one way or the other about it, and I'm done, like lunch is a mechanical task, just a habit of mine. Eventually dinner comes around, which I'll either miss because I don't feel like eating, or get something to go which only has two or so parts of which I actually consume. Sometimes I'll miss dinner because I'm at the gym. After the gym, shower, hang around, wait two hours, start feeling really \"hungry,\" and then go to the spot. I buy some food, then begin to eat it... but because I haven't eaten much prior to that, I can't eat a lot at the moment.. so I end up filling up really quickly, and that's the general idea, give or take some meals here or there.

In conclusion, I eat about two meals a day, like the average college student, but I still feel this void, a lacking of hunger, and I wonder if I'll ever get it back.

2. Video games; but more so, addiction to them. Or addiction in general. First of all, people have the common misconception that video game addicts consider their time as being well spent. They don't. If you've got a little bit of logic in you, you know that the majority of addictions are detrimental, unless you're addicted to broccoli or something. If you consider all the time you've spent playing video games, then compared it to the time you could've been spending learning, working out, copulating, you'd be a fucking smart, hot, disease-infected dude (or lass).

So at what goddamn point does this overriding logic kick in and force you to stop playing the games! The human body is an interesting thing, sure. You can get a sickness and your body will fight it. You can break your arm and your body will heal. But where's the organic defense mechanism against games which Blizzard makes? When will the momentary pleasure of owning some noobs be defeated by the enduring benefit of a \"healthy lifestyle?\" And I assume only the person addicted can change themselves, it's not like you get a support group or something, so here in lies another problem-

If you've been playing video games a lot for momentary pleasure, you've established this as something you like to do, your body acknowledges it. Maybe, because you enjoy it, your body thinks it's healthy? Either way, you enjoy it. Now, you know, in the long run, it's not healthy, so you decide to stop, right, easy choice? But in stopping, you're depriving yourself of this great pleasure that comes at little cost, aside from the staggering, long-term malady.. which you can't experience to know the pain of because it only hits when it's too late, and.. at that point, you're not even writing this because it's already too late. Either way, you're trading that benefit (with little cost) for a theoretically<\/i> better life, again, which you can't experience because you're still stuck in the addiction.. So the video games are tangible and good and great and at this moment please you, and a healthy life is theoretically much better, and a life of only video games is theoretically much worse, and you know that only you can make yourself stop or start, so what to do? But why even ask what to do? You know what to do, yet you do it or don't do it, and it makes me wonder why can't the human body have a mechanism which makes us operate simply for our own selfish benefit. Why is there even a choice?

Someone might say that a video game addict is only interested in themselves, but that's logically not true. Video game addictions are self-destructive, if you're interested in yourself, in your happiness, you won't become self-destructive, at least not for the cause of a video game. In fact, video game addictions are anti-instinctual because you're essentially de-evolving into a static physical being staring at a cathode ray tube.

If you're really interested in yourself, you should go out with friends, study hard, play hard, do community service, things that will make you ultimately happy, and extend that happiness as long as you can stretch it.

So good!","author":"potsy","link":"https:\/\/potsy.livejournal.com\/56104.html","description":"IF\t\tby Rudyard Kipling


If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don\u2019t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don\u2019t give way to hating,
And yet don\u2019t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you\u2019ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build \u2018em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of punch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can face your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: \u201cHold on!\u201d

If you can walk with crows and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds\u2019 worth of distance run-
Yours is the Earth and everything that\u2019s in it,
And-which is more-you\u2019ll be a Man, my son!","comments":"https:\/\/potsy.livejournal.com\/56104.html?view=comments#comments"},{"guid":"https:\/\/potsy.livejournal.com\/55882.html","pubDate":"Sat, 27 Aug 2005 00:24:46 GMT","title":"Goddamn IMDB deleting massive posts","author":"potsy","link":"https:\/\/potsy.livejournal.com\/55882.html","description":"Why do the IMDB moderators delete so many freaking posts!

3 out of 5 stars \"Don't Panic\" \"In the Waiting Line\"...\"Let Go\", July 25, 2005
\t
Reviewer: \t \tGosu \"gg no re\" (Korea) - See all my reviews
Arguably the most over-rated soundtrack to date. It is probably true to say that the movie made the music sound more outstanding than it really is. Of course, many would argue that that in itself justifies a rating of better than 3 stars.

There are some highlights including the gem by Simon & Garfunkel and \"New Slang\" by The Shins. But overall, there is some weak music here.

It's (technically) Monday now, and I haven't slept much in the past fre days due to stomach pains, slight headaches and moderate dizziness. My body feels like cardboard. But that's all besides the point.

Today I didn't eat anything except three slices of rye bread for lunch and a little more bread (in french roll form) for dinner. What I ate, however, was delicious. Now, I remember on numerous occasions, turning up my nose at rye bread because of its supposed bland flavor. It seems, as a general rule, the more nutritious a food is intended to be, the less taste, or \"worst taste\" it has.

This makes me think that, as Americans, we're oversaturated with different tastes. Sweet and sour, bitter and salty. Although the pain sucks, it's really kind of nice to enjoy three slices of bread so much.

Sadly, I'm fairly sure that when the toxins leave my body, I'll go back to disregarding rye bread, but blah. That's the answer. But blah.","comments":"https:\/\/potsy.livejournal.com\/54221.html?view=comments#comments"},{"guid":"https:\/\/potsy.livejournal.com\/53848.html","pubDate":"Tue, 07 Jun 2005 08:44:04 GMT","title":"Fewture","author":"potsy","link":"https:\/\/potsy.livejournal.com\/53848.html","description":"Things aren't exactly looking dismal, but I just picked up a Sprite can on the desk beside me and began to think. (The can now sits in front of me, opened and emptied, but not by myself)

How many people does it take to make the design of this soda can? How many people came up with this shiny green to blue colors, with the big, white \"Sprite\" lettering and the yellow \"CAFFEINE FREE\"? I'd say it would only take one to come up with the idea.

Then I looked closer and noticed the smaller \"a product of The Coca Cola Company.\" and wondered if the same guy who does Coke's design does Sprite's? If so, that means one guy designs the graphics for a lot of soda cans, considering the fact that Coke and Pepsi own most of what's out there, in terms of carbonated sugar water.

Now, I've heard that the economy has been \"bad\" for many, many years. Everywhere I look, there's something about the malnutrition of the economy, how it's not recovering from the burst of the dot.com boom, or how it's becoming more and more difficult to get a job.

Maybe things are<\/i> looking a little dismal, I'm not sure. But meandering through different career and grad school options, it seems like... I could fill that position, or millions of other similarly qualified kids could fill that position, and I see no reason for them to choose me, or anyone else, really. A company will always be searching for \"the best,\" and I'm pretty sure I'm not the best, in fact I'm nearly 100% positive that I'm not the best, regardless of what sort of exceptional job I might be able to perform, I wouldn't be \"the best,\" there exists only 1 best, and millions, perhaps billions of other people who could do a good job, but aren't the best.

This makes me think like a charlatan, really. Am I supposed to manipulate myself and others, as best I can to secure a position? Really, that's the only... I don't know, it seems like the only way. Unless I start my own business, of course.

I got bored after winning a bunch of easy \"Footmen Frenzy 3.8\"

To play warcraft, you have to sign onto a service called \"Battle.net,\" it's like a big chat network which also has a search engine that lets you search for games to play against\/with people. The main screen, however, looks like a big chat room. Everyone's name is listed on the right hand side of the screen. Their level is listed next to their name, and the chat goes on in the main window. There are also \"channels\" that you can join. Usually I got to channel UCD where everyone I play with is, but I got bored and started joining random channels. I joined channel fuck, channel forthelove, channel gosu, channel blah, and lastly... channel love.

Much to my dismay, the buffer didn't catch the very beginning, which is the best part.. because I just randomly join this channel (and channel LOVE of all places!) and there's three people here talking who I don't even know.. but pretend that I do. I guess. My name is Copulate, and it says @USWest next to their names because they're Starcraft players on a Warcraft network. See what kind of people play Starcraft!?
