This is a cliche, but honesty is the best method. That way, even if your excuse is menial or nonsensical, and at worst annoys the people it is intended for, you were honest; that alone stands for something.
In this economy, the only people that can hold decent jobs are trained professionals (masons, for example). Healthcare service is also an undying trade, as there is a constant need for new people.
I struggled for years before I finally landed a job, and I spent a good portion of my life studying. However while doing so, I worked as a room service attendant at a local Sheraton. It's all about compromise.
The most common cause of sleep talking is emotional stress. We (and by we, I mean the people I work for) treat many patients that talk in their sleep.
Unless your sleep talking involves violent outbursts or random screaming sessions, I wouldn't worry about it, and it's generally believed to be harmless.
If you want to reduce it, your best bet would be to stop sleeping only 4 hours per night and get on a normal sleep schedule. That usually helps to decrease the amount of talking to a minimum.
When is seems like everyone else in your life is your problem, the reality is that you are your only problem. I've known way to many people that blame everyone else for their happiness, when the only person they need to look at is themselves. You sound like you've got serious depression issues, seek help.
While your point is a valid one, in certain cases a vulnerable personality can begin to lose connection with the people surrounding him/her while they struggle to keep friendships and relationships afloat. It isn't always correct to assume that we're in control of our happiness, especially when you've become the product of "routine" and, as the original poster claimed, rendered unimportant due to his social agenda differing from that of his friends.
My semi-professional opinion would be to face your problems. An escape route always seems like the most logical choice at first glance, however issues such as these have a tendency to follow us when we leave, and legal trouble is sure to accompany them.
I rate compatibility higher than attractiveness when I'm looking for a boyfriend. I need someone who I can talk to and relate to. Most women are insecure by nature, so having a boyfriend who is also physically insecure would compound the situation. Most women want their boyfriends to tell them how beautiful "she" looks; not spend hours obsessing about how "he" looks.
In bold is one of the defining reasons society is declining. Affirmation is novelty, and only fuels the pseudo egocentrism engulfing our modern state of being.
Research suggests that women are more likely to retain the adolescent need of/for validation, relieving yourself from the situation at hand. You can't combat a psychological need humans are programmed with. However, many boys/men with the need to "improve themselves" in such a manner often suffer from an emotional vulnerability.
I can't blame someone for wanting to look like a movie star, but creating a new method of living for such a purpose is dangerous, and the attachment to such wants often times results in depression.
I'm returning to playing Magic after not playing since Mercadian Masques, and before that Ice Age. I lost all my Ice Age cards, and have very few cards from around Mercadian Masques, so I want to get a collection of cards that won't rotate out soon, and that I can use to trade for future decks I might want. Would you recommend buying a booster box of the new core set, 2012, for this purpose? Thanks!
It really depends. If you find a cheap box, you'd be paying $80 with the possibility of finding nothing useful. On the other hand, that $80 is buying you 540 new cards with 36 rares and a possible worthwhile card/s.
If you want an instant collection and enjoy opening booster packs, $80 isn't really a huge investment.
Normally, you should just invest in a deck by purchasing singles/rares that are needed. If collecting is what you enjoy, a booster box is definitely cheaper than purchasing each booster individually.
So, you're expressing your dislike of an internet forum.. on an internet forum?
Facebook is fine, great even as a way to catch up, but I'll admit it's not usually used that way most of the time.
@the OP: Here's a crazy thought. Why don't you ask your dad what it will take for you to get more computer time? Prove to him that you can have an adult conversation on the topic and he'll probably be open to ideas.
That's the crazy thing, though. Facebook is no longer an Internet forum. Facebook is an App, a program, a forum, a social network, a gaming platform, and ultimately a lifestyle.
People I know spend countless hours typing about menial crap throughout their day. Such as: dishes, trips to the gas station, cooking of meals; general nonsense. Facebook was created for college students to communicate and too quickly became a nonsensical platform for tweens and adults alike to share useless information with people.
Essentially, Facebook is destroying what was once a healthy social life, replacing "community" with Farmville and other insignificant time-killers. I won't even mention the latest babies that died while their mothers carelessly wasted hours on Facebook, leaving them unattended (because that's a personal matter).
This forum may be similar in the fact that it's strangers discussing different subjects, but this forum is also centered around a general idea, whereas Facebook is centered around the "share everything with everyone all the time". Here we post, leave, wait for a reply, return, post, etc. Facebook is a constant, since now the Facebook update app is a staple in modern cellular devices it's even easier to communicate your bowel movements in exchange for likes.
To keep this on topic, that is the reason Internet should be in the hands of an adult (so to speak). Sure, people like you (above post) are responsible enough to balance your commitment to Facebook and distinguish between a social life and an Internet forum, but these young children (mostly girls, to be honest) are lost within a digital playground, becoming less interested in the finer qualities of life.
It's a form of cheating. If you don't have the card, you don't have the card.
Paying $9000 for a piece of glorified cardboard is ridiculous, and shouldn't be a part of any game, but alas, it is.
I do agree that building a deck entirely out of cards that are economically unattainable is silly, but it's far from ridiculous, and even farther from cheating. If both casual players agree that it's alright to play with proxy cards, it's not cheating.
I understand that opinions are opinions, but seriously, who can realistically afford 4x Black Lotus cards? Is it really so awful to fake these impossible to obtain cards for the sake of a fun game? I don't think it is.
I partially agree with the notion of limiting Internet time for younger children. Unfortunately websites like Facebook are plaguing the world and making our self gratifying social norms lazy and too easily attainable. A family update was once a sweet Christmas card with signatures and a photo; now breakfast is a post with 50 likes because said post was made by a girl in a bathing suit. It's pathetic to say the least, and the less people conform the faster we can get rid of this awful trend.
There's no need for a social site made to communicate with friends. Here's an idea, make a call or organize a get-together. What happened to the world? I miss the 90's. Seriously.
Some guys have this crazy idea that girls like jerks. Why? Simply because girls like jerks. The situation becomes complicated when women are involved, because women on the other hand DON'T like jerks, and are often mistaken for girls by "pick up artist" wannabes.
The no with an if: Mixed signals make things overly complex for most men. Occasionally it's hard to understand a relationship because it's unclear whether one exists to begin with. Men shouldn't attach themselves to a clingy succubus (as said above), because the stories are never ones with a happy ending.
Example: My finances old roommate purposely went off her birth control so that she would become pregnant. Why? She had a paranoid suspicion that her boyfriend was planning on leaving; which he was, because he recognized her instability early on. Of course, now he's trapped, because it's either live with her and pretend to be happy, or pay child support in a constant custody struggle for years to come.
The yes with a but: Sure, most men may seem like jerks, but beneath the surface is an insecure child with inferiority complex. Girls demand an assertive, confident and charming man, guys deliver in the form of "what television claims is right".
At the end of the day, most men are typical nice guys. They may have ulterior motives, but we're sexual beings, so you'd be hard pressed to find a guy that doesn't.
I don't know what jaded crowd of girls you're hanging around with, but any girl that requires perfect abs in order to find you sexually attractive isn't the type of person you should want to be with. There are plenty of desirable/attractive girls that aren't shallow. I'm engaged, and I'm far from Mr.Universe.
Aesthetically speaking, every person is flawed in one form or another (the recipe for plastic surgery anyone?). There's no need to obsess over your looks just to please the opposite sex. Instead of reaching for a Meghan Fox replica (who has most likely already sampled most of the local cuisine), try lowering the standards bar a tad and going for a cute girl that doesn't have a Hollywood taste in men.
I wouldn't purchase any of those phones you listed. If you're looking for "cutting edge", I'd look in to Sony's new phones, or perhaps Nokia if you can afford it.
There's the basic, which I've tested with little success. Any help is greatly appreciated!
