Minecraft

I never liked Minecraft. It seemed horribly stupid to me that we went from some of the most amazing graphics in the world to a sandbox game that someone could have thought of at the age of 4. "Mommy, I want a game where I can build whatever I want!" My friends love/loved/will love it forever. I refused to pay for it, so I downloaded a crack (I know how seriously agitating this is to the Minecraft community, but honestly if I wasn't going to pay for it anyways, is it really stealing? So I played, I set things on fire, and to me, it's still stupid. It's something I did because I had nothing better to do, and although I would do it again, I like games like League of Legends where there's something exciting going on every second of the game, and it makes your heart beat faster. Those kinds of games are the best.

Also. Note how I said something about "if I wasn't going to pay for it anyways...", because I plan on making a well thought-out elaborate post about piracy (and why I love it!)

Facebook

Okay. I'm gonna write about Facebook. I've used Facebook for 2 years now. It gets annoying sometimes, and it's repetitive.
Here's why I liked facebook:
-my friends used it

Here's why I didn't like facebook:
-always changing
-addicting, in a scary (it got to the point where if I wasn't being productive and I had access to the internet, I would just log on and check my notifications. If I had some, I would be happy, and if I didn't have any, I would be sad)
-things got old (seeing the same types of statuses over and over again; if I wanted to I probably could have sorted all of them into categories and subcategories and never need a new category for a few months)
-privacy issues (if I ever want to do something that needs a background check, the last thing I want is for people to see the posts I've made on facebook (not that they're that bad!))
-it's not going to last (I shall elaborate)
-it makes physical communication seem so hard when you can just type things into a chat box

When I say it's not going to last, I mean that I think it's just going to fade away eventually, like Myspace, Friendster, Google+, etc.. It might be one of those companies that just does things right and stays on top (Google vs. Bing. When was the last time you heard someone say Bing it?) for awhile, but I don't think it'll do that. Instead, I think it'll fade away and people won't miss it because there will be a new standard that everyone uses.

Because I only had ONE reason on my "liked" list, I deleted my facebook today. I'm hoping my social life doesn't take a dive with it, but I think without Facebook, I'll be more focused in life.

Antisocial

So, this really popular person had a party at school. Naturally, I wasn't invited. I didn't expect to be. My friends were; that made me a bit sad. It sucks to be the guy who sits at home playing League of Legends rather than enjoying with friends. I'm kind of an extroverted geek, in my opinion. I like to go to parties, but only parties with people who have the same interests as me. That makes it kind of hard to go to parties... (/humor). The real kicker, the reason I'm sad, the reason I'm making this post, is that tonight, I looked out a window and saw the Big Dipper. No big deal, right? Well, after the party was over everyone got on facebook and talked about how the nerds at the party (not me) all showed the other people the Big Dipper in the sky. I don't know why, but as soon as I saw that I got really sad. I saw the Big Dipper, too! But I saw it at home while playing video games. Something tells me I need to be less antisocial.

MIT

This post is gonna be about MIT.
a. I'm a bit young to be worrying about college. I get that.
b. Even though I'm a bit young, MIT sounds/looks like the best place on the planet.

I want to work at Google, too. Big plans. It feels like I wanna just fast forward through high school and apply to MIT. I don't know if I would make it, and I'm trying not to get my hopes up or put all my eggs in one basket, but wow. It just seems so much more fun than other colleges. Where else to people hack their school? Where else can you walk into a room where everyone thinks the same way you do? What other school compares their applicants to hikers? I love this. Here's a video, if you don't know much about MIT:

Doesn't that look amazing? Google is the same way. It's like a version of MIT, but instead of staying until you graduate, you can stay forever. You can do what you love, and know that everyday you're making a difference. I'm smiling as I'm writing this because I'm thinking about it.

Hello, World

First post. I made this blog because of inspiration. It's 2:32 AM right now. My inspiration to make a blog:
-Watching The Social Network.
-MIT Admissions Blogs
-Being up late at night
-Having a place I can dump all my thoughts into
-Having a place safe from people in my school
-I'm sick of Twitter's micro-blogging format in which you can only use 140 characters to express your thoughts.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I just hit 80 WPM last night, too. That's kind of a part of it, I guess. It's not a reason for making the blog, but it's a plus. I don't know if this blog is an in-the-moment thing or if it's gonna be something I take with me through high school and college, and I hopefully I can make it better by learning HTML and stuff. For now, I'm sticking to learning JavaScript, but I waver a lot with learning languages. I was learning Python a week and a half ago. My first language that I ever tried was C++. I failed at it. I then did a bit of Batch (@echo off stuff) and HTML. I don't remember much of anything from HTML besides <p> and </p>. Or is that just because I watched The Social Network? Hmm. (Funny thing I just noticed: typing < or > in Google's simple blog posting shows "&lt;" or "&gt;" in HTML. Maybe if I ever learn HTML I'll know more about that.

I'm NOT going to update this blog regularly. I don't even know if I'll update it at all. I'm not good with sticking to schedules. Inconsistency is my middle name. I don't want it to feel like, "Ugh. Time to update my blog." I want it to be something more like, "Wow. That was interesting. I'm gonna blog about that."


//there used to be a paragraph here, but my mind is controversial so I backspace a lot. I don't like it.

Anyways, welcome to my blog. :)
