Yes, it is as awful as it sounds. Bowser has transformation powers and is voiced by a woman.

Peach: That's Bowser. He's a bad guy.

Do you think your moods are controlled by your brain chemistry or that your brain chemistry dictates your moods? Do you believe people are born with particular emotional temperaments or that they are primarily shaped by environmental factors?

I think environment does play a major role in a person's temperament. Over the years even a very mild person can become aggressive and quick to anger despite their nature in order to deal with the consequences of life.

My parents have nasty tempers, and I know I inherited this from them. There is no escaping certain things setting me off.

The environments that primarily shape a person is the home and school. It's simple to see that stress, and entrapment can lead person to change drastically faced with altering decisions of people will constantly see day in and day out, with no control over the choice of seeing them.

If you don't like your parents your out of luck, but if you don't like where you are for a majority of your time awake and learning to function in society, then it's pretty much over and done with. School is the place where you learn to trust and deal with people who aren't biased towards in some obvious way.

I'll admit brain chemistry is the base nature, and it's what people default too. This can change with time and influence.

Well today in the crowded unventilated classroom, I sat next to the guy I like again as it was the only available seat.

Afterwards he told me I was a sweater. I checked my pits and saw nothing. Apparently it's going to be a new criticism everyday.

Well, gonna clean the room up now that laundry is done. I'll have to hit the bathrooms too as well as the kitchen since none of them see fit to clean up after themselves.

Just having someone say that to me makes me feel unhygienic. Even after daily showers and deodorant, I may just need some cologne. Honestly it feels like he said, "You smell."

Crush or not. Next time the dude has something like that to say I'm just gonna tell him to fuck off.

Writer's Block: Forgive and forget?

2009-10-26T12:27:41Z

Do you tend to forgive and forget or hold grudges? What is the longest you've ever stayed angry with someone? Is there anything the other person could say or do to win back your friendship and trust?

View 1495 Answers

I forgive people once, and after that they just push it. I tend not to dole out second chances too often either, as it just encourages people to push me further. When I do forgive I completely forget the transgression, until it arises again. Then it is kept in mind.

I've been on bad terms with someone now for ten full years.

They've wasted three full chances, and I have never given someone as many chances as he had. He obviously didn't want a friendship, just someone to push around when he was low. There can be no trust in a relationship like that. Anything said beyond this point is just blowing smoke.

Starting again. The stress was just overwhelming the last two days. Time to get back into the groove. I got some candy. It helped.

After analyzing the situation and making a complex bridge system involving a laptop, and other perferials that failed in the end the problem solved itself?

The college apparently forwarded the correct port. Why, I don't know.

It works now, and I am thankful.

Update

2009-10-14T06:39:34Z

They recorded it as port 1000.100.19 after my call and said that port isn't blocked.

How can a person who doesn't know what a number is, be in technical support? I mentioned no decimals.

I will try again tomorrow, but if I cannot get a person in the flesh I will have to make the most of it and use the fall break to study and get future homework done.

What a waste =3 I still find it ironic I took all this time devoted to my studies and just to find out when I can play in a limited fashion I have no choice in the matter. I've scouted out wifi places around campus, and they are all connected to loboweb, the campus provider. In addition, the nearest airport which could support this, is unfortunately a good distance away.

I need something to unwind. I hope I find whatever it is tomorrow.

Apparently port TCP 1119 needs to be forwarded in order for me to connect to WoW. I cannot access the game at all. I cannot even log on.

I took time off from the game for two weeks to focus on my studies and now that midterms are over and fall break is here I cannot raid, let alone do dailies.

Please excuse me, as I have just asked for the port to be forwarded. I am not the only one on campus asking this, and a representative from the college will be calling blizzard to address the issue. This will take time. Possibly the full month till it becomes mandatory.

Because I did it day one, I am unfortunately just going to have to wait to play.

That is what I get for being atentative and concentrating on my studies.

Should the representative not agree or compromise with our college network administrator my WoWing days will be over. I cannot go to the airport each time I wanna play. Even if it is just 10 miles away.

I'll have to spend my fall break some other way. At least I am healthy and my tests went fairly well, I feel.

Sigh =D

Test tomorrow

2009-10-07T18:20:00Z

While the big Real analysis test is tomorrow, and both the instructor and aid have told me not to worry I just can't see myself doing well. I've done well enough on the homeworks, but the partial credit just urks me.

As for studying after I got over the flu I started to prove and memorize some of the simpler proofs. I'll be going over those again tonight and rewriting some things.

The topology professor comes back tomorrow, so that HW is due as well. Also this is our only chance to ask questions before the topology test which is on Tuesday the 13th. So after the professor has been out for 2 weeks he will have a test, and he will most likely have a double session the day of the real test to make up towards the classes. Nice.

I also woke up late today. Thankfully the professor with class on M/W/F is out this week for a conference himself. Time to get on track.

Bad Flu

2009-09-26T17:08:53Z

Had a very bad experience with the flu I am just now shaking off. Apparently Tuesday some idiot in topology came in sick and hacked up half a lung on half the class. Wonderful. He didn't even use a mask like some more decent people or bother covering his mouth. I'd have given him a piece of my mind, but the instructor is out on a conference and we don't meet until a class before the test. Which means screwed all around.

I just recently recovered yesterday and have some residual symptoms. Particularly the throat and coughing.

I'm sorry if I've forgotten to do anything, as being physically and mentally incapacitated the past few days has left me worse for wear. I attempted to play WoW, but ended up just shouting in general chat "There are four damn lights!" Over and over again. I think I also bad mouthed King Wrynn and called him a Goku rip off. Anyway harsh words were said to imaginary characters.

At one point people all started to look like candy. Time to get laundry done and clean the room before I study what I've missed. Need to get change first.

Ugh

2009-09-23T20:32:28Z

I went to class sick and just kept blowing my nose. I don't think the professor appreciated that. I am bed ridden for the moment despite wanting to exercise and walk outside. I'll need to pick up some tea or Theraflu stuff nearby, I don't think I can survive a trip to Walmart.

22/30 and 9/10. Apparently the sickness is having a negative effect on my work. Blah.

2 weeks of studying while my Topology teacher is at a conference. Now I can at least digest all the information he dumped on us. The day he gets back, test.

Real will have it's test first on the 8th I believe, so that's two reasons not to slack despite the mind numbing flu.

I'd love to draw a few things right now, commissions or otherwise with the time, but my Aunt has asked me to house sit for the weekend. So there goes all my free time. No internet at her place either. Reach me by the cell if you care to do so.

Another Homework, how kind! No, really I just finished my last one, I couldn't!

2009-09-17T14:29:41Z

20/30 Real (Two got partial credit) 3 problems
10/10 Topology 9 problems

This is funny. Every week it seems I'll miss at least one problem in either class. I cannot afford to do that, especially with how many hours a week I put into these homeworks let alone the class work itself.

Now many of you may think, "John it's not that big a deal to miss a question! Your just whining." Well I wish I were. 1 missed question equates to a C grade, two an F for graduate students. I don't want a repeat of last semester, oh no.

This week is another 8 topology and 2 real analysis, with the contrived "Do all exercises besides those assigned". Yeah I'll get right on that. You can imagen I don't have much time to myself making this update on a Thursday when I got the old homework back Tuesday.

Test is the week of October 12 so there is 3 1/2 weeks left to study, when they will not give us a reading period. You know, do everything and more cause we tell you, not because we give you the time to digest it.

Quiz Argh

2009-09-10T07:00:14Z

I have a bad feeling tomorrow will be a quiz in topology. Along with my getting an imperfect score in the first homework I also voiced I didn't recall a theorem proved in class.

We got no assignments posted despite the fact he said there were several. I dread having a huge assignment over the weekend with no time to ask any questions as tomorrow office hours are being taken up by a second supplimentary class session at 1pm.

At least Real analysis is done, I just have to write it up once I get through the day. Then it's reviewing concepts for the tests in October I'll be facing.

So I took an early nap and have been snacking all night. I've tried to concentrate on definitions and theorems, but I keep looking at Worgen. Blah.

First homeworks back and second in with third my current work load

2009-09-08T18:32:03Z

9/10 Topology
60/60 Real Analysis

The topology had a point taken off for a stupid mistake. Apparently I said a subset was closed when I wanted the compliment of that subset closed.

Set Theory makes my soul vomit blood.

I need to prepare myself for the tests in 4 weeks, and it's looking like I need to do the filler problems just to get into the mindset. I may have to just plain disappear altogether. If you are wondering why, I cannot afford points off my homework. I do not see 9/10 a good thing, it means needs work to me as a graduate student. There is no reason not to get perfect scores.

It's amazing what a Philly Cheese steak can do to turn your day around. Both assignments were handed in on time, and I got more than enough work already for Tuesday. More than likely we're getting more on Thursday, and I have about 6 weeks to study before the first tests.

Thank you, to the people who contacted me privately and let me know your support on all fronts. You made me realize this is all a blessing in disguise. I am not gonna let myself get distracted from my work.

What makes me reel is people handed in assignments today that were only one page or half a page long. I and the others who did the full assignments had at least 7+ pages on the same kinda paper. I worry and care only about my own performance, but that really made me snicker. And someone handed in a paper with just things crossed out. You gotta be kidding me.

Whatever happens

2009-08-26T21:39:48Z

Do not post anything on my behalf, do not defend me or my actions. Let it pass. People had their chance to talk to me at the times these things happened, they didn't and let it brewed for years. If this is the result of my actions, I have to take it.

Above all else my priority is to school and I am currently sitting doing my homework.

To be honest I didn't see it coming so late. I expected it sooner. The best I can do is be truthful with people.

If you have a question, by all means ask it of me in the form or media you feel most comfortable with. I cannot guarantee you will like the answer, but you will get an answer. Eventually this will reach a conclusion of sorts. I may not like the ending, but it will be an ending.

Back to work for me.
