Holiday Season and the Mayans Prediction

Here we are, in the last month of the year. December. The month where the weather begins to get very chilly. The leaves have undergone a transformation to the crispy leaves, that most kids have a blast stepping on. In this month, many holidays occur: Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and for you Canadians, Boxing Day. Also, this month's holidays are special because they mark the month where the supposed Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world. This date being December 21, 2012. Now I'm not one to believe this stuff because for one, the Mayans never knew about leap year. Which completely throws their calendar off track. But I will have to say, I do like messing with people by bringing up Mayan calendar jokes.


But aside from all that Mayan calendar mumbo-jumbo, this month marks the month where I accomplished a good amount, and also a bunch of things happened to me. I'll list a few:

Good Things I Accomplished

  • Got my learners permit.
  • Finished my college classes with A's.
  • Got a new computer that works well with multimedia.
  • Stayed at my job for a full year.
  • Started paying off College Tuition from pocket.
Things That Happened to Me
  • Began getting stalked by someone.
  • Withdrew from my club officer position.
As you can see, more good things happened to me than bad, and for that I have to be greatful. 

Moral of this post is that no matter what happens to you, look at the bright side, it'll always carry you through and more good things will happen.

    The Mayan Calendar is just a long form calendar. It measures ages instead of years (5125 years I think). Leap years are in there too (somehow). :) Sounds like you had a good year. I'd recommend switching that background. It's a little hard to with the tree branches...

The Outcast

This is the next part in a series of posts about what I think I am... For awhile now, I've noticed that I slowly have been drifting from the social norms and the family norms. And of course, when you  do that, you tend to lose the relationships with people with whom you've been close with. People tend to drift/distance themselves from you.

Be A Legend

In the song above titled The Believer , singer John Legend and rapper Common speak about how they plan to grow to be legends and kings in what they do (Sing and rap). They mean kings hypothetically of course. They speak in a double entendre. I said before they want to be kings but not Kings as in king of England they mean that they want to be looked up to by everyone else due to the powerful words that they speak. And thus, the moral of this post: Live to be a legend. Many people tend to live their lives at a limit. For example many people take a job but do not try their hardest to be the best at it to the point where other people look up to them. And personally, I feel as if the reason why many people do not do this is because they are afraid of the conflicts they will attract throughout the process. Many people do not want to fight against the opposition. They would rather limit themselves so they don't have to face it at all. Another example being a personal one: “I

The Non-Believer

We being human beings grew up believing in various things. Just to name a few; whether there is really a God, whether the government in our respective countries is hiding things from us that we ought to know. But we never really ask ourselves the big "w". Why? Why do we believe in such things. Why don't we try to question reality. I for one have started to question just about everything lately. Here's a list of things I have questioned so far about the life we live: Is there really a God? Are we really alone in the universe? Do our governments really have information to hide about secret projects? Are we just a simulation, or a dream? And if so, who is the dreamer? The Holy Bible (Christianity's holy book)
