I've come to the conclusion that my Taekwondo academy is a McDojang. Our classes have over 30 people so it's more of an aerobics class than a martial arts class. In our academy, you reach black belt in 3.5 years, as opposed to the 13 years of training that my Shotokan Karate dojo imposed. It's incredibly easy to gain ranks in our dojang and form/technique is never seriously studied. They also hand out black belts to 6 year olds. IMO, the black belt is an object of discipline, prestige and master of a martial art. Handing black belts out to inexperienced fighters and young children make me question that.

On a side note, my masters are more than qualified to teach, but I think they're just taking advantage of the opportunity to make easy money through these classes.

Life has no meaning.
No UNIVERSAL meaning, but each person can find a reason to continue living. I've found mine, and this gives me a very complete feeling to where I know if I obtain all I want to with my personal reason, I can die in peace.

Agreed.

RDK, you seemed really down about that, though. =\

True; life has no universal meaning.

I can't really say that it's depression, because I'm not depressed. It' sort of like a cosmic ennui. Things I used to be passionate about - things that use to excite me - now bore me. There is seemingly nothing worthwhile to do.

Basically I've stopped seeing the beauty of existence. As humans, we look for "a point"; a "goal". There is no point to life.

The weather in Massy is ridiculous.

Like, going outside for 10 minutes is enough to freeze a water bottle. </exaggeration>

-Terywj
The coolest thing is when it gets cold enough that water flowing out of a water bottle turns to snow/ice almost as soon as it hits the air.

And it's ALWAYS a big thing on the news. I enjoy it. :laugh:

41 cents from east coast to west? Thats about the same price as it is here. Its like 28 pence to send it anywhere in the UK so it arrives the very next day.

The only reason why i wanted to know is cause our mail is owned by the queen, thats why its so cheap. I just wanted to know how it compares to the Fedex america

Dear Diary,

What's that? 3 posts in a row, yet i managed to loophole around warnings thanks to a technicality? That's at least 25 gamerscore there i think.

Anyway my heads spinning for some reason, i need to get to the GP's but i barely have enough time during the weekdays and the stupid ankle deep snow and wind that suddenly turned up over the weekend has made my bike unusable. And my reckless abandon and crappy money management has left me with just 7 quid in my bank account. Usually i could just sponge off that untill my next paycheck but i know i need atleast 25 quid in there for my phone bill that should be here any day now. And i need an extra 30 quid for rent for mum.

The moral of the story? Dont spend your weekend doing something stupid like 'socialising' or 'celebrating friends birthdays', instead stay inside and play computer games and cry.

I have to make a ~10 minute presentation for my Finnish class.

The thing is, it's due tomorrow and I haven't even decided on a subject yet. :(


Edit: Haha! Instead of making something, I used all my free-time today for watching Lagann-hen (
...it was worth it! It was great.
) and going to the other end of the town to buy Detective Conan 58. GG! Tomorrow will be interesting.

Well those are things that she should be buying. I don't expect my boyfriend to buy me clothes or things like that. Does she have a job? And if not why not? She's got bills too if she's living out on her own (with you is still on her own, no parents). She needs to buy herself stuff she wants, not expect you to do that. That's being selfish.
Hmm... she does have a part time job but I guess it's barely enough to pay off her bills plus any other goodies she might want, and seeing that I have a bit extra at the end of the month she then looks towards me instead. Well I think it's a bit harsh to say 'selfish' but you do have a point, I guess I can try and convince her to start saving some of her own money for any materialistic items.

She sounds a bit materialistic if you ask me. A relationship is a 2 way thing, does she buy you things or suprise you?
I think it's safe to say that in my case it's a 1 to .5 way, meaning I give her whatever most of the time, while she'll give back half of the time, I won't deny that she is a bit materialistic and she won't but any of that 'cheap' stuff either, it's rough, but I at least have a few ideas up my sleeve to counter it.

As to surprises, well not really, maybe with a couple a meals here and there but other that that nah.

Ok, I am posting herer for a good friend of mine.

There is this Chick I know, Lets name her.... Jessica, and This guy I know, Lets name him... Gil.

Gil is one of my best friends, and He's one of those types of friends that you don't want to see hurt, you know?

Anyway, Gil likes Jessica, Like Alot, [were 15 btw]
Jessica told me that she doesn't feel the same way about Gil,
Gil, doesn't know that however.
And I really don't want to be the one to tell him,
From what Jessica told me, Gil is taking her to the movies this weekend, and is going to "Ask her something very Important"

Jessica, doesn't want to hurt him, since they are good friends too.
What should she do?

Thanks Everyone :D

Just tell her to be honest about her feelings. It's teen crushes...He'll get over it sooner than you think.
And its better that she tells him. It's better for their friendship.

I'm seriously bothered by a lot of things, but no matter what I type here, I feel like attacking the people that might actually respond to me by the end of it.

So I'll just leave it at this until I calm down enough to where I can take people here seriously.

If you want to take your chances, shoot me a PM.

Ireland doesnt have enough smash tournaments......and I win them all when they do happen.

There is only 1 guy in the whole country who I can say would have a chance of beating me in a best of 3-7

Problem is he never comes to the tournies(even if he is free) and he is too busy with his job/girlfriend/poker tooplay casually anymore.

I miss playing him.

Although this is on a waaay more casual level, I have a friend that's facing this...

Unfortunately, I can't fix that, as much as I'd like to. >_<

I'm probably about to lose a friend due to a lack of communication yet I don't seem to care. I'm not sure what to do.

I'd like to see if people can take on my Bowser. I could thrash about 60% of the people i played against online with him, nobody seemed to be able to predict what i was about to do or how to properly dispatch a good Bowser. The 10% that could beat him got destroyed by ROB. One really good player told me my ROB was my best, so i'll use him if need be.

Also, i got sorted into Hufflepuff by ONE point! ONE! To be honest, i'd rather be in Hufflepuff than Gryfindor, but i'd rather be in Ravenclaw than both of those.

The fact someone shot at my library.

And then I found the bullet.

But who shoots a library?!
Dude was probably failing a Shakespeare assignement and decided to take out his rage on literature.

My local library has a wii and they let kids come in and play it. This must be very annoying because it's a very small building

So I went to school and Science Fair. I stood by my presentation / project for basically 6 hours.

I didn't even get judged / graded, and have to do it in-class next week.

FML.

That sucks man. What was your project/presentation about?
My experiment was on e. Coli and plasmids which coded for antibiotic resistance. I basically worked with different types of e. Coli and different types of antibiotics to analyze growth.

That's not nerdy that sounds really interesting.

Biology was one of my favourite subjects in school.

Lucky you, i hated bio. Even though i did 4 years of it.

Also am i the only one who hates ad breaks? I dont want Lost to be inturrupted by 3 ad breaks. Yeah its only about 3 minutes long but its soo boooring. I resent the Heroes fans, they get to watch their favourite show unitterupted. That's right, NO breaks! Stoopid BBC.

It must suck to watch shows in America, apparently you lot have 2 breaks during shows like the simpsons. Two! That must suck.
