Rant About Whatever

13725665:solid.seven said:
It bothers me when people say to do stuff for yourself. Like yes, when you do stuff, you shouldn't do it with the sole intent of seeking approval, attention etc. from others. You should first and foremost do whatever it is because you truly love it and want it.

At the same time doing something strictly for yourself is fucking lame(to an extent). In fact, if you really, really are passionate about something you should want to share that with other people...no? What is something worth if you can't share it with others? I mean really think about it. I personally can't think of one thing that I have ever truly cared about that I don't want others to be a part of.

Think about the sickest day of skiing you've ever had(only using skiing as an example because this is NS). Think about how hyped you were, how you felt about it during and after, what it left you with, etc. Isn't that all stuff you want to share with someone? Isn't it fair to say that anyone could benefit from that same experience, whether its in skiing or any other activity/aspect of life?

It's a really awesome feeling to introduce someone to similar experiences in my opinion. And while making other people happy should never be a motive in doing something, if you have the ability to share such an awesome passion/experience with others... why wouldn't you do it?

I feel like there's a fucking trend(?) in society with people my age who are like "fuck everyone, I'm doing what I want" or everyone is like "only do things for yourself" and other cliche BS I see constantly on social media. And a lot of people who have came in/out of my life take that to heart and block out a lot of potential relationships/experiences.

I don't even know what my point is here. Maybe I'm just butthurt. Who knows.

In my opinion, a majority of people are unhealthily absorbed with social media, but nobody realizes the extent. I'd encourage you to try leaving your phone at home for a day when you go to school or anywhere else. You'll surprise yourself with how many times you'll reach for your phone to realize you don't have it. It becomes far more apparent how much time others are involved in their phones. Not to mention, your personal productivity increases ten fold and you become far less stressed when you aren't constantly linked in. Like, social media is a sick platform for communication and sharing, but it's wickedly oversaturated and nothing you see or read really is relevant to your own life at the end of the day.

To me, the idea of doing things for yourself (which I strongly back) is about refocusing your motivations. Sharing experiences through social platforms becomes a subliminal but insanely driving motivation for doing things. People are motivated to go outside and hike or to make new art or a multitude of other avenues of exploration and self expression, but every day the motivation is less because of curiosity and moreso to fuel an ego. When you're overwhelmed with content from hundreds of thousands of people from the minute you wake up until the last thing you see before you go to bed, you get a narrow-minded perspective that everyone's always active, doing something unique or awesome. It (even if you don't realize it) makes you want to compete with that to show off how you're just as interesting as everyone else. Eventually a major factor in your own activity is to be part of the contest to show off how cool you are, how smart you are, how active you are, etc... It's nice that there's motivation in your life to experience new things and share that, however at the end of the day your picture on instagram or your story on snapchat is a minuscule sliver among a sea of content others see every day. It's hard to really articulate my point, but what I'm trying to say is that doing stuff to post on social media, whether you acknowledge that motivation or not, is not a good reason to do that stuff because it will never be appreciated (it just turns into a waste of time). It's not necessarily always about doing stuff for yourself, but do it because it's true to you are. Without social media, you'll realize quickly enough that you still share your experiences with the people who really matter to you in your life, but not with the time sink involved with online platforms. To me, new experiences and places become more fulfilling when you grasp this. It ignites your personal love for what you do, and I think that's far more important than doing something so that a couple hundred people who you've met a time or two can see a sentence and picture summary of something awesome you did for less than 10 seconds before they scroll a few images down and forget about it.

Also, people on instagram who post to encourage people to do things for themselves are hypocrites. I realize that this is a post on NS which is pretty much social media but I don't really care, not much I can do about that.

Kind of a ramble of a post so hopefully it makes a little sense.
 
Man, anxiety is a tough bitch to deal with. Need more things to do/places to go/people to meet to keep my brain occupied but i make up insanely irrational scenarios in my head of what could maybe go wrong or something and will sometimes say fuck it. Plenty of times even with skiing where i dont go, or even hanging with friends and end up missing out.

Brains are weird.
 
Aghhhhhh people need to learn how to walk! Look up from your phone! Look both directions before you cross the street! Don't walk in the middle of the only bike path! Don't randomly stop walking! I almost hit at least 3 kids a day on my bike when I'm around campus. Just because you can't hear a car doesn't mean that there isn't a bike or somebody on the road!
 
I used to love Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. However, now I am almost to a point where I can't watch it anymore. He FINALLY criticized Hillary and even that it was barely anything. I hate Trump just as much if not more than most people, but stop making your entire fucking show about him. Literally every show has some point of "don't vote for him or the world will blow up". We get it you don't like Trump, you've made that more than clear.

I wonder what the stats would be how much he talks about Trump an episode. I am so curious I might just waste a lot of time calculating it.

My favorite is walking into our student union and there's literally 8 doors and people (usually international students) have no fucking grasp on how to walk and huge groups will walk in on their left/your right side when you're trying to leave and it's like fuck no. The bus even drops you off on the correct side. Like you have to go out of your way to do the wrong things. Ugh. It drives me crazy.

I know that's a stupid thing to get angry over. But it pisses me off when people do things wrong.
 
Fuck fuck fuck. Fucking sucks and it's going to be a while now before it's time to ski again. Skiing is rad though. But fucking shitty shit fucking sucks.
 
Just mentioned an ice machine now. Never discussed pre op. Asked about the cost and nurse had no idea. Also I think she is weary of them and she bought tons of ice packs yesterday. Are they trying to sell her the machine while she is drugged up?

cuz of the lizard reptilian peoples forcing people to drive cars and consume oil

idk lol, running seems great late at night. I saw some peoples around the U campus this evening around midnight walking around, wouldn't be a bad opportunity to walk around late at night with a doob or something. seems relaxing af.

Why are any of us awake?

Also yeah it's like I didn't bring my bike out with me so walking home takes forever. It'd be way better to just run home, but I'm sure people would freak out.

Why is 11 to 7 a necessary shift? Can't we just break it up? especially when for four hours of my shift there were 5 people working, i literally stood around eating donuts...and 3 days in a row? really. fuck this. i have an extremely hard exam coming up on monday which i have not nor do i want to study for. kill me now
 
forgot why I fucking hated summer days in Manly. Tourists fucking everywhere, rich cunts who can't drive and don't know the local back streets. Seriously I got stuck for like 10 minutes because this one fucking Audi decided to reverse park causing a bunch of cars to back up on a very skinny street and I stop in front of a drive way so the cars can easily go around me. (decided to be a sick cunt and give way) and then this car decided to stop right behind me pretty much meaning no car could get past me because they would run into him. It was such a fucking cluster fuck.

On top of that you have fucking tourists who take forever to cross the roads. My fucking light is green why am I still waiting for you fucking pedestrians. And westie cunts who swear and are just loud. fuck off.
 
One of the guys form work twisted my words and now I'm the bad guy. Fucking stoked to call and ask what time I work tomorrow.
 
Got drugged and robbed in tanzania. That was pretty rad.

Also my guide on kilimanjaro was a douche and stole my kit kats and ate my brownies

mid to late 20's, early 30's single women are the fucking worst. They still have the confidence of being a smoking hot 22 year old, but look 10 years older. They always talk back to the bouncers and think they're always right. That off them. Just fucking enjoy your night instead of trying to get everything you way. People walked out of the bar, and they're not letting more people in. Who fucking cares? Go somewhere else if you're so pissed off at it.

Emphasis on single. They're single for a reason. Their eggs will dry up and die inside them just like their hopes and dreams. And then they'll settle.

Google is fucking shit as usual.

Apparently logging into gmail, on the same laptop I've been logging into gmail on for 2 years, in the country I made my fucking gmail, from a tab that was open to gmail is suspicious.

Also gotta love when google says "somebody has your password" when you login sometimes instead of "Our really bullshit security features indicate somebody might have hacked your account or we could just be retarded".

But no "Somebody has your password, you need to change it now!" Then when you log in with your old one by accident it's like "Your password was changed ___ ago! Didn't change your password!?!?" "Oh yeah, I fucking forgot your shit security made me change it for no reason.

Thanks again google. Fuck you.

Also TSA

Ignorant fucks from the inner city that can barely speak. Airport security is a joke anyway but for the people that actually think there's a threat, if you believe the people employed by the TSA are going to save you LOLZZZZZZZZZ.

Can we just get rid of all the bullshit? Then again it's a blast to take orders from some dumb cunt that probably can't count to 10. I love America!

My buddies girlfriend works TSA one day a week for the benefits, from her stories sounds like the only thing worse than TSA are the people that still think they should be allowed to bring their red bulls after 15 years of not being allowed to.

YEah, the benefits and pay probably aren't bad. That's probably what keeps some of the people so motivated. Also they get to wear a uniform that says they're important and get into full rent a cop mode.

But yeah, people who still can't figure out how to travel are annoying. Oh really I have to do this? With policies that have been around for a decade and change.

I think I need a fucking nap. It's nearing 30 hours of airports and airplanes and I'm cranky as fuck. The flight attendants gave me the craziest look when I asked for more wine on my last flight. Also told me to drink water. On a 10 hour flight I had 5 glasses total I think. I mean 5 is a high number for a flight I guess but these flight attendants acted as if that was going to get me wasted. Fuck, I could probably chug all 5 of those and be fine, so over 10 hours? Fuck you, bring me the damn wine.

I think I'm going to grab a drink right now. Haven't been drinking much the last few weeks but something about dealing with shitty people when you're tired makes it pretty fucking appealing.

I wish I could sleep on planes.
 
Why did i decide to take this class from 6-9 every Thursday night all it makes me want to do is fall asleep. Plus this dude just reads straight from the slides and then goes on rants about his IT company or his wife or whatever playstation tv is and how its SO much better than netflix/hulu. Worst part is a large part of our grade is attendance and these quizzes he gives out so you have to go.
 
I applied to the local ski store in May and never heard back. Not a huge deal since I already have a job.

So I went in there today to get some skis mounted, and a new girl was working. She seemed like she knew what she was doing at first... but then she forgot to ask me where I wanted my skis mounted. I spoke up and told her I wanted them mounted -4. She said something to another employee and the fucker said " Ok, I'll fill out a center mount form for you". I said I didn't want a center mount...and three employees looked at me like I was on crack. According to them, twin tips were "supposed to be center mounted".

Then they charged me full price for a binding mount ($80), even though I had bought my boots and bindings there and had the receipt to prove it. Should have been ($40). I made that very clear and they just blew it off. This same store already fucked up a pair of my skis in the past, and they market themselves as "The Midwest's #1 sporting goods store". Another employee tried to get me to buy full tilts one time even though my feet were too wide... he said my feet would "adjust".

I've learned that some stores hire based on looks rather than skill, and I shouldn't feel bad that I didn't get the job.

Don't shop there, and def don't work there.

If you can go to another shop, if not buy your shit online. There are some pretty solid online companies and some that are pretty much a store that sells online in addition. Fuck supporting a place just because there is no alternative,

alright everybody, calm down. You can stop worrying now. I'm just a fucking idiot. It took me 5 days to realize it fell out of my backpack and under my bed.
 
A developer wants to put in a 14 unit apartment in my neighborhood and last night was the only chance to comment. Meeting started at 7 and it was after 10:30 by the time public comments were over. People asking for the change were totally lame and went over time. Also had people that aren't even from the area (and who had a striking resemblance to the developer) make pro comments that weren't even relevant like how nice they think the developer was to their baby, (that woman went over time too). This thing is probably going to go through anyways but I had to get on record saying I'm opposed to it.
 
I fucking hate tourists so fucking much. Today I was driving behind some car with an out of state number plate and saw their mirror clip a parked car mirror. Didn't even bother to stop to check if the car was okay. Just kept driving. Some people are such fucking cunts
