So yeah, I'm typing this up for a couple of reasons. First, my brain is feeling slow today and so I feel like I'm talking like Ben Stein. Secondly, our great but sometimes annoying cat proved far too much of a nuisance when I was trying to record. So here we are!
Many moons ago I posted a blog. Somewhere in April no doubt. Again, I won't pretend to know the contents of it. But what I do know is that I had not yet started summer classes. I don't even think I was finished with winter classes yet. But I got two A's in my classes, so that's good.
Classes currently, (only in the second week of 12) are demanding, but fun. I feel oddly confident.
In terms of health and addiction... eh. My brain stem has been getting the best of me a lot lately. This translates to impulses being a little too strong. The brain stem is the most basic part of our brains harboring the need for survival. Frontal lobes when doing their job should act as flood gates... But I've been allowing myself to wade around a bit. Hope that's a suitable, as well as understandable metaphor.
I went through a phase of gluttony, lust, and greed. But somehow... somehow I've managed to keep myself from being a complete recluse and hater of the world. Thus far that is. haha... half kidding.
The last two days I have kept my phone all the way upstairs in a drawer. Reason? I spend way too much time on it.... not on Facebook, mindlessly tapping at apps etc. Plus, I'm 10x more likely to give into the habitual beckon of internet porn and online spending if I'm on it. It's a distraction through and through. Much like anything, you must be aware of things in order to work towards fixing them. And much like a child, if you can't handle something, it should be removed yes? It's interesting how I can count on one hand how many times I've been on Facebook since February. What this means to me is I have the potential to do anything I want. I just need to do it. I stopped soda without an issue. I gave up most meat, without any issue. I gave up Facebook without any issue. Out of all of them... the only one I remotely miss is meat. More specifically chicken. It's the most versatile animal and can be healthy when prepared correctly.
That's enough for now... I know I didn't really give any insight as to what's been going on, but I do very much love dissecting things here and displaying the entrails for any to see.
