Well, it has happened again. It's going fugged up. My home computer didnt survive a lightning strike near or on my house. Thought it was the power supply, but evidently, it isnt!! Well, so now it's time to get a new mobo, and a new processor. I was thinking intel c2d extreme. I am still pissed off. You know, how many people have so much crap in their lives? Typical!
On the other hand, I have been thinking of getting a new mobo, and processor, just cos the computer that I built for my sister is almost as fast as mine... Stock! Well, here's the reason. Sent from above!
I have been feeling rather tired recently, dunno if it's the workload or the influx of crap. I just like a cleaner. You know, when there's crap here, clean it up, then more appears over there, and then off I go again... And then it appears everywhere, and I start cleaning like mad, and then it starts piling up... and I am cleaning like mad, but it piles so high it hits the fan... and then it gets flung everywhere, and everything is covered in crap...
Haha... dont mind me.. I am just rambling on... I am just pissed at my computer, and the shit I am getting at work... Thank goodness there is one who still makes me smile when I think of.

Rationalizing
Rationalizing all sorts of stuff that I have done and think about, I realize that it is really unnecessary, all over again. Well, I suppose that most people will never understand. Just because I don't bitch about things does not mean that I am not doing my absolute best. I cant do this any more. I am just gonna go get more beer. I feel like shit, and I am real pissed. I really wonder why I bother. I am learning not to let it affect me no more.
What happens when what you want and what you don't want are in direct conflict? It is so very common.

Comprehension.
All too often when we see someone perform an action without a name, we rapidly forget its alien outlines and tailor our recall to fit the patterns dictated by convention ...and our conventional vocabulary.
Try to never dismiss what you don't understand because we are already excluding enough. And as a friend told me, it is important to get the whole story right. The immersion into even the seemingly mundane / uninteresting may have interesting results. No time is wasted, as long as we learned something. Be it ourselves, our surroundings, about others, or sundry.
Truth is, we can always learn something, until such time we decide to shut off. Whether or not self justified.

Reality Is A Shared Hallucination.
Sometimes it means an outright falsehood told in order to deceive
people and advance the agenda of the liar. Or it can be a “lie of omission,”
in which the crucial part of the story that we’re not being told is
more important than the parts we know. Sometimes the lie can be
something untrue that the speaker thinks is true, otherwise known as
misinformation (as opposed to disinformation, which is something
untrue that the speaker knows is untrue). In yet other cases, particular
erroneous beliefs are so universal—serial killers are always men,
the Founding Fathers cared about the masses—that you can’t pinpoint
certain speakers in order to ascertain their motives; it’s just
something that everyone “knows.” Sometimes, in fact, the lie might
be the outmoded dominant paradigm in a certain field. Arelated type
of lie—a “meta-lie,” perhaps—occurs when certain institutions arrogantly
assume that they have all the answers. These institutions then
try to manipulate us with a swarm of smaller individual lies.
.
.
.
.
.
Such cases of positive proof are in the minority, though. Basically, the
pieces in this book show that the received wisdom—the common
knowledge—is often wrong. Well, then, what’s right? That’s a much,
much more complicated question, and the answers are elusive.
Hopefully we’ll all spend our lives pursuing them. But the first step is
to realize that the “answers” that are being handed to us on a silver
platter—or, perhaps more often, shoved down our throats—are
often incorrect, incomplete, and usually serve the interests of the
people promoting those so-called answers. That’s where You Are
Being Lied To comes in.

And so the story goes.
I was talking to my dear friend last night and parts of it I liked... Thought it was really rather good actually.
Feelings are not a barometer of life, neither are they a barometer of good or bad, happiness or sadness. It is a barometer of the unconscious mind's past experience and a bit of genetic programming. As such, in my opinion, self justification may not be necessary as it won't change anything. But rather, experience shapes who we are, our feelings, and that translates to how we act and react. All done unconsciously. Self justification would only be putting into words what we have always been doing. Or eerily,
"Because we all do and say things that truly surprise us, we must construct(fabricate) a narrative(story) that makes sense of those behaviors that contradict with our interim" - Kevin Hogan
What I think is that, perhaps it's not about talking about it. Saying what you can and cannot do, will or will not do. Experience would let you discover yourself. Dangerous thing about this is that values, morals must be developed to a certain extent before embarkation. Though no one should be afraid to change viewpoint, there has to be certain level of self imposed self restraint.
Still hung on

I think, therefore I am./
Cogito ergo sum.

Actions
There are 2 main ways on how we approach things. Basically, I think it can be broken down into - the hunger for the outcome, and the analysis of the process.
The hunger of the outcome.
There are many things that I want , and it is really the main way which dictates the way I approach and do things. I just look at my final goal, and get there. There really isnt that much analysis into the path that I take. It's just whatever comes to mind. It's exhausting every path because I want to get the outcome.
The analysis of the process.
Pretty darn self explanatory innit? It's where the money is, every book written about winning arguments to talks given by self proclaimed professionals.
My point? Get what you want. Dont think. Just be.

Gimme - Ferrari & LearJet / Honda Jet
The correlation between ascending to the skies in your own company plane and rising profits may not be a perfect one, but studies show that where you have one, you have the other. Arthur Andersen & Co. recently studied 334 of the Standard & Poor's 500 companies and found that those that acquired business aircraft created 600 percent gains in shareholder value (which includes stock-price appreciation and dividends) over a seven-year period, compared with 463 percent at other companies. Measures of sales and profit also favored those corporations that used business jets.

Music
I was told that my car sounded good, and that really made my day! Rather, it was how that message was put through to me! "I was crossing the road, and I heard a car that sounded really good! Sounded like my darling, and it was!"
Double whammy!
And I was thinking of going home to sleep! Take a break from what's happening. This shit is bananas, B A N A N A S!

Plans and mediocrity
There are many of them out there who would very mistakenly think that they are more than what they are. But what really bugs me is when the ones who are truly awesome in many aspects start doubting themselves. I think that is just and simply insane. I think that whatever it is, everyone should be confident of themselves to make the right decision. Be sure of yourself.
However, there will come points in time when you do realize that you do make mistakes. We all do. Dont doubt yourself after that. You have it in you, noone's doubting your capabilities. Why do it yourself?
Arrrrgghhh... I am just tired... monday mornings just aint cool. And there is a very heavy dead weight that I feel creeping up. The shit MIGHT hit the fan. And this might be MAJOR. I just hope it goes away. Quick. Shoo.
