You know, back when I started this silly blog all the way 2 posts ago I stated it was here as a scrapbook for my thoughts whenever they struck me. A huge problem with that my most brilliant ideas (which isn't saying much) strike me at times when access to a computer is quite limited, specifically, the can, the tub, the bed. Luckily, sometimes the planets will align and their cosmic energy will give you the power to wake up and, believe it or not, remember whatever you were thinking about in that semi-asleep drunken-drowzy state you are in (which is usually the point where you drop the book behind the bed with the clear intent to crawl on all fours tomorrow in search of it.)
So, I have been thinking, what has changed in the last couple of years? You know, other than height, beer weight, bone weight and the number representing my age on a computer somewhere? Well, I obviously slid down in my education, sucking at it quite a bit. It also seems like my attitude towards life, society, friendship and more-than-that relationships changed a lot. To the don't-give-a-damn side. Why? If I were 64 it could have been explained by aging, but at my age I am supposed to care more!
Well, I have a theory. When you care about something you expel some kinda of "care materia", carium, let's call it. In my opinion, your supply of carium is limited, or regenerates slowly. Throw too much away and at some point you just don't give a by-our-lady rat's ass. About anything. Not the girl you want to impress, not the koalas who won't f*ck to save their species. Frankly, my dear, you don't give a damn. Just a little food for thought, kids.

Get mad!
So, "Duke Nukem Forever" came out this week, and guess what? It sucks. Wait, let me correct myself, it is disappointing. It does not live up to the 13 years of expectations. But let's admit, we shouldn't have gotten that pumped up when we heard it was finally going to come out. I was telling myself to not get pumped up at first, then the trailer showed me exactly what we wanted, and I got really excited. Too bad reality didn't live up to my expectations.
But really, what was yet more disappointing was the fact that "Portal 2", which I expected to suck the big one, actually turned out pretty well! Believe it or not, it is almost as good as the first one. Thing is, those two facts cause a huge impact together. I really wanted Duke Nukem Forever to be good, and yet instead what I expected to suck turned out good! It's not that I WANTED Portal 2 to suck. It's just that it would be less of a slap to the face because I didn't expect it to be good. Seems like we only get good stuff where we want it less.
Oh yeah, the video games are actually metaphors for real life, where we are only lucky in the areas where it's less important to us. It's like life is a troll who wants to go: "What are you complaining about? Portal 2 rocks! You DO have a rocking game!". Yes, but it's not the game I WANTED to rock epically. I wouldn't get that disappointed if it were Portal 2 which sucked.
P.S. In reality Portal 2 was much more important to me than the Duke, but I couldn't find a better couple of games.

Something ends, something else begins...
I know, I know, having your first post and your blog have the same title is stupid and all, but that is how I feel. The reason this post is titled so is because I have just graduated high school. Yay me. For the past 36 hours I have officially been a free man (you know, other than all the exams I still have to do). Yet, as excited as I was about this (kind of) freedom before it came, it seems like with each passing hour I miss my high school times more and more.
"Mike, you crazy bastard, how can anyone miss school? Are you saying you would go through it again?" I hear my 2 readers shout out in surprise. No, definitely no. I wouldn't want to go through those times again, but I AM quite sentimental about them, even though it has only been a day and a half. Also, as weird as it is, I feel like I will miss the people I graduated with more than the people I studied with for 4 years before that. Fact is, before Junior year I transferred, and have only been in the high school I just left, Yohanna, for 2 years.
Oh, oops, it seems like I digressed. Back to the subject of introducing this blog. As you have probably realized, dear single reader, I am a young man writing a blog on the Internet out of boredom. On the other hand, unlike your initial guess, this shall NOT be a blog centered on sharing my problems with you, but a blog for conveying my deeper thoughts to whoever might be interested.
Thing is, I have my best thoughts and ideas when at home, browsing the Internet, where nobody can listen out. Well no more, ladies and gents, I want my greatest ideas to be heard.
Where was I? Ah yes, graduation. I'll be honest, single reader, some people have been huge assholes during these past 2 years, yet somehow, whenever I think - "Gosh, I am never seeing most of these people EVER again!" I get a choking feeling, and it's not with joy (mostly). And some of these people, despite their immature assholism, are quite interesting people, who will only reach their best when I am not there to see them.
Well, I think it's enough B.S. for one post, so, till the next one, be it in a week or in a few hours (it depends solely on when I feel like it), stay safe!
