it's been a while.
Well, by the looks of it, it doesn't seem as if too many people continue to blog anymore, which is somewhat of a shame. I've been looking back at several posts of mine that I made a while back and it has somewhat sparked me to keep blogging even if I didn't have anything substantial to say. I have almost exactly 800 posts spanning nearly 6 years of on-and-off blogging. That's somewhat impressive considering that blogging wasn't necessarily something that I really cared much for to begin with.
Well anyways, I do intend to blog a lot more regardless of who reads it because that's just how I roll.
Lately I've been feeling the effects of lonliness. I find life more bleak and boring whenever I am not in some social medium--whether I am with friends or volunteering in a highschool. I rarely used to feel that way before, however. I used to enjoy my "alone" time. It was a nice way to entangle my thoughts and reflect. I still do enjoy that aspect; but, it doesn't quite feel the same--perhaps because of the unavoidable desolation that comes with it.
I've noticed that some people simply lack the proper people skills. I am not sure if it's something that can be learned, however. People that "learn" to deal with people more efficiently usually end up accomplishing something very different. It's difficult to explain because a lot a person's behaviour is more or less influenced by one's instinct and several other intangibles. I usually find people with shitty intincts to be utterly boring to be around. Perhaps because lack the empathy required to appreciate the finer details about human expression.
On an aside, my marks for the semester have come in and I've done as well as I could've hoped for. I think I should be good to get into the PDP program up at SFU, but I still have to wait for my advisor to email me back with the details. Life is moving quickly and it's rather impressive how much of it gets utterly wasted on such trivial matters. Not blogging, though--ofcourse! :S

Wow, I can't believe I've racked up over 1,000 posts over the years. I have to admit, I've been using the computer and technology-stuff less and less... sorta regressing into a technologically inept dinosaur. I do miss blogging though... will probably get back into the habit of it soon enough.
Best of luck with the application!! We really need real teachers for this newer breed of "student", lol.

Thanks Jane.
Regarding le blogging: Well I guess it also depends on your life-style and motives. Looking back at all those old posts of mine, I just find it really interesting how I used to think and how my analyses of those thoughts of have changed. You could argue that that sparked my motivation to get back into it.
Eitherways, it's good to be back, even if just momentarily.
