Goodness! I can't believe Quad's almost 9 years old! I registered close to Halloween because I saw this on Deviantart:
And just wanted to know what the heck this Endless Forest was. Didn't know it was going to completely change my life, and that Quad would be a good friend to me for almost a third of my life.
Thanks for continuing to be an amazing community, guys.
Oh Quad, you're not
I'm sure you'll get something next time, don't give up.
I don't know what more they
I'm not feeling so good right now, really dizzy and light headed. I think I'll take a hot bath.
Just try to relax. Stressing
Those people have missed out on a chance to have a good worker. Their loss.
Aw, man... Hang in there,
Hang in there, Quad. You're definitely not worthless!
I need to stop thinking up
Just had an idea for a shadow deer, maybe even a shadow fawn. They would not be a villain, but rather an embodiment of shadow. Crows would frequent them and possibly do things they wished for such as gather pinecones or caw at random passerbys. The deer would rarely be a threat, but she would linger, unsure what her purpose was and walking among others in hopes to gain insight to the reason for her existence.
She would be tied to Hex, as the blind seer can detect shadow presences and would possibly be a guide to them, maybe even an adoptive mother.
And yes, this character was inspired by Nocturnal from the Elder Scrolls games. One of my favorite daedra.
So...anyone interested in me making this sort of character? XD...
I don't want anyone to go
I was considering offering Blixt's picto for a donation to ToT. I was thinking somewhere around $10-20 USD.
I know his picto will be sought after since it's a specific shape, and I had thought about making a new character to use the picto, but I also know that once my school starts in about a week I won't have time to be in the Forest.
I don't really know if there's a way to change his password without bugging M&A though...
So...I'm starting to think I
I don't know. I don't know where I stand right now. I know I'm not an atheist, but...I don't seem to know if God really exists or not.
I used to believe the Bible was absolute law. But now that I've realized how ridiculous some of the laws and teachings are, especially in Leviticus, I've been less and less attached to the book as a guideline of how we are to live our lives.
I see a lot of suffering in the world. Even in my own family, it seems like every one of us is going through some sort of drama. And I don't understand why God would allow all of this to happen. There was a lady on the TV yesterday saying that God saved her son in the Oklahoma tornado, but what about the other children that died? Are they not as important or special is this one boy that lived? I just don't understand it...
But also just being utterly ashamed at my own religion for the garbage it has done. Televangelists using donations to live lavishly. People on the street shouting that you'll go to hell if you don't join their particular church. All this anti-muslim, anti-middle east, anti-everyone else who isn't Christian business. It all just makes me sick to my stomach that my religion spreads so much hate and greed.
I know some of you guys on here are agnostic. Could you tell me a little about this sort of thinking? Should I be...ashamed of myself for doubting God? Or is it not such a bad thing to question religion itself?
Just like how I have been secretly reading Buddhism books, playing around with Tarot cards, and observing animals in hopes that they may be guiding me spiritually, this will be another thing I will most likely keep to myself and not tell very many people about. I have some relatives who are devout Christians and I'd be afraid of them shunning me if they knew I did anything non-Christian.
--------------------------------------------------------------
So today is pretty much my last day of a year-long break from school. I'm starting Chemistry 2 at a community college tomorrow, and hope that my life turns around after getting this class passed. I figured I'd see about getting a copy of 30 Seconds to Mars' new album for the drive tomorrow.
I've been getting better at

Heyheyy, just wondering if
They play samurai-themed metal, saw them playing live a few years ago and fell in love immediately.
Thought you could like them as well, as I know how awesome your taste in music is. : D
Oooooooooooohhhhhhhh!!!! Thi
This is awesome!! I've never heard of them before but I'm already digging them! I love the Asian sound to it, fffff!!
Thank you for sharing, I'm hooked now and want their albums now!
Yessss, I knew I could trust
Okay...I'm addicted to Robot
And...
Here's my unicorn so far XD...but I want him to look different once I'm at a higher level.
------------------------------
I've got about four more chapters left in Starship Troopers so I'm trying to decide what to read next. I've been making a lot of progress reading since I get to my Chemistry class about an hour early or so. Anyway, I've got the following in mind so I'll most likely pick one of these to start reading next:
Bushido - The Way of the Samurai by Tsunetomo Yamamoto
Hagakure - The Book of the Samurai by Tsunetomo Yamamoto
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
The Art of War by Sun Tzu
Everyday Zen by Charlotte Joko Beck
Peace in Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh
The Fire From Within by Carlos Castaneda
I need to mention that if you
----------------------------------
Though ironically I do have somewhat of a vent...I guess this is more of a reflection though. I may be overthinking this but it bothered me enough to write about it.
My brother posted the following video on Facebook today - If you grew up in the 50's, 60's, 70's, or 80's, then be grateful!
Before I watched it, I was sitting in the room with Mom. I saw she had watched this as well because it was playing on her Kindle yesterday, but I didn't know what it was. I just saw a flurry of old video on her Kindle. Well now I know it was this video.
But I got to thinking about this. I grew up in the early 90's. So I have aspects of both old and new, so to speak. So I asked, "I wonder if I fit into this category..."
Mom quickly said, "No, you don't!"
So I watched the video. And I understand where it's coming from. Once electronics came about, we have changed. We are more spoiled than we were back then. We don't go outside as much as we used to. But there are advantages to having technology - we are able to get information quickly, we understand things better than we used to, we're able to connect with people around the world. Hell, if it wasn't for technology, I would not know any of you.
But...
I'm jealous. I'm jealous that I only got a taste of the old way of life. When I was very young, we had a television and an old NES system. But we did a lot of stuff outside, like we played games in the yard, walked to a few stores and restaurants close to our house, and rode our bikes around the neighborhood. Mom and Dad would drop us off at the $1 movies all the time. I caught lizards and roly polies in our back yard all the time, and we had stick and staff fights. I didn't have many friends because I wasn't really allowed to have them, but I did a lot of stuff outside before we had a computer. And yeah, that was about the time I changed. I would sit on the damn thing and play Quake for hours. I was part of several RP forums, especially for Pokemon. I had a website that is remarkably still up and online to this day, even though many of the links are broken.
But I keep going back to the question. Do I fit into this category or not? Can I be proud of myself for 'making it' or was I born too late to fit into the same category my brothers fall into? Am I allowed to be proud of myself for anything?
I'm doing better than I have been. I have some pride in myself now that I'm nearly done with college, and also I've changed my eating habits and feel better about my body than I have for years. But it's not enough for me. I'm tired of feeling sorry for myself all the time, I want to be proud of myself. I want to feel accomplished and happy. I just don't know where to start.
Who knows. Maybe I fit into the category, maybe I don't. Maybe all of this doesn't really matter. Learn from the past, right? I made a lot of mistakes in my life already, but I'm trying to fix them so that my future will be all that I've dreamed of. I plan to do a lot of things once I'm living on my own, from refusing to drink soft drinks ever again to cooking for myself every day, as well as being minimalistic and environmental. So far so good, I've already begun my transformation into this as I've been gradually drinking less and less soft drinks and drinking more flavored water, as well as eating less junk food and more fresh fruit, nuts, and so on.
I think I understand something now, just by writing all of this.
This is me. Or at least an analogy of my life.
As a caterpillar, I wanted everything. I was greedy, selfish, materialistic, and obnoxious. I wanted more and more every day. And it led to me living a sedimentary, depressed lifestyle.
I'm in the cocoon stage now. I realized I've felt trapped for so long that things needed to change. I'm learning that there are things I can live without, and that I feel better about myself after I make better choices. I still feel trapped within this cocoon, but I know that I'm becoming better within and will have my freedom in due time.
And when the time comes, I will become a butterfly, and will live a life free of obsession, greed, and dependance. I'll finally be free to make my own choices and live with the consequences. And maybe for once I'll truly be proud and happy.
I think I answered my question.
In the beginning I was a part of the generation mentioned in the video. When the 90's came, I did become fascinated with electronics and technology, and I stumbled as a human being because of it. But that doesn't mean I'm a failure.
I always go back to my professor's quote.
"There is no success or failure. There is only progress. If it doesn't work the first time, change some things and try again."
It has become my mantra, and even to this day I continue to see everything as success or failure. But it shouldn't be that at all. It's all progress.
I'm a work in progress. Just like the caterpillar within the cocoon, I'm changing myself so that everything will be better in the long run.
So yes, I should be grateful, even if I didn't grow up in the same generation my brothers did, I do feel like I made it.
I made a div so I wouldn't
Your brother did a good job on the video, but in the end it's just the same story of nostalgia and "you kids don't know how good you have it!" preaching every previous generation gives to the new one. And of course the only people who can say "we survived" are the ones who actually did. I promise you, there were kids who poisoned themselves with medicine. There were kids who did die from bike accidents, there were babies who got lead poisoning. They could eat cupcakes, bread and butter because their parents used whole, natural ingredients instead of the processed fake stuff sold today (created by those kids from the 50s and 60s, btw) The reason it wasn't headline news was because they didn't have the technology to make the information widely available.
There are hardships and perks of every generation - are they the same ones? No, thank heavens! We would never progress as a society if everything stayed the same.
Like you said, it's all progress, no failure or success. Getting "hooked" to technology is not something to be ashamed of. We're learning that it can be addicting and can result in a less active lifestyle - but we wouldn't know that unless we played around with it first, would we? That's progress.
Here are some problems that exist today for the Y gen, courtesy of Xers and earlier:
-Privacy: iphones, webcams, and any number of recordable devices. Anything on the interest stays there forever. One bad snapshot of you and half the world can see it, and will judge you for it, for as long as you live. (worst case scenario, of course
-Health: Thanks to clever business practices by those 50's kids, our foods are over processed and filled with corn syrup and vegetable oil. You would think with all the work that goes into making this fake stuff, they would be more expensive than natural, whole foods, but it is the exact opposite. A healthy meal is considered a luxury now (unless you grow your own food, which is a pretty good idea).
-Education/Jobs: We can't get them. Our predecessors, realizing our country was diving over a cliff of debt, decided a few good ways of getting more money would be to get more kids into buying into college. How do you get more people in college? By lowering high school test scores (easier access) for one, promoting college in as early as elementary school, and requiring every single menial job in existence to have some sort of "degree" -forcing people to pay a thousand or more for classes that don't teach them anything they don't already know. Hike up the cost of tuition while we're at it!
Of course, then they realized that kids couldn't afford the cost, so they invented student loans - which sunk education into more debt than ever because those menial certificate jobs aren't worth the job itself and no one can pay off those college costs, at least not for years and years.
That's assuming you can even get the job once you're out of college.
This is not written to start a blame game. This is to show you, that even with the supposedly "better" environment the people of our parents were raised in, they still had the greedy and the selfish and the mistakes, as well as the brilliant and generous. They didn't need the technology today to do it.
Also good to keep in mind: the environment of today's kids were brought about by yesterday's kids.
Be proud of you - you played, you romped and stomped like other kids, you got to grow up with technology no one before you ever had, you had fun with those games! Just from the freedom of being able to research anything you could ever dream of for practically no cost, makes us, in a way, much more educated than our parents. We learned earlier that people have all sorts of views, and that makes us more tolerant and accepting of others, and it will pave the way for a much more compassionate future for everyone.
We may be spoiled, but we're still pretty awesome in our own right
Thank you for the response,
Even though I grew up more in the 90's, I still had a love for the 80's, especially with music. I actually collected cassette tapes from thrift stores and had a cassette player which I listened to all the time. This sparked my deep love for music because I began listening to 80's progressive rock, 'hair' metal, and classics. The first bands I got into were Asia, Journey, and Great White, all from finding their cassettes at the store.
I remember someone scoffing at me in High School because I had a cassette player and saying I should get an MP3 player. They were expensive back then and we couldn't afford one, so I never thought I'd have one. Since then I've had four different MP3 players, from a Samsung, to a Zune, to an iPod Touch, and now an iPhone.
Anyway...maybe I'm just being overly critical of myself as I usually am. I guess the video upset me because I felt like I was excluded from this sense of pride of living without technology. But really, I should be happy that I got to experience some of both eras.
I always dreamed of living a simple life. Even at times I wished I had been born on a farm where I could help raise livestock. But even if I am not in that kind of position, I plan to have a simple life in my future. Maybe I will try my hand at growing my own produce. I can't tell you how happy I am when our satsuma tree in the back yard gives us anywhere from 70-200 fresh satsumas. Not to mention my neighbor across the street has blueberry bushes and just gave me a whole bunch to eat.
But I have thought of other things I could do...one idea was not to have a television when I'm living on my own. This would mean that I would give up gaming, but maybe sacrificing one thing I am passionate about will lead to other things I'll enjoy better. Who knows.
Yes, I used to see those
I too, would like to one day live just outside the city limits, free to grow my own little garden and raise a few chickens and a goat just for fun. My and my sister have even been looking into the idea of living underground to cut down on heating and a/c (and also because, if you look at them, they're just awesome
What is interesting is not long ago when I was reading up on the "live within your means" concept, it was met with alot of criticism by people claiming "The government is trying to teach us to be poor so we won't mind when they take all our money!"
It's astounding, like they can't believe someone would willingly decide to live simply and efficiently without some sort of brainwash, or that somehow doing so would make one "poor" :shock:
In my case, I realized that
There's a Zen story I really liked where a thief went to a Zen master's house because he assumed the master had treasures, but when he broke in he found that all the Zen master had were simple things. The Zen master felt sorry for the thief that he came all that way just to leave empty handed, so he gave him the clothes he was wearing.
My mom's boss used to raise chickens several years ago. We would go and attend to them when she went out of town, and they were actually pretty nice. You literally can pick one up to get the egg and she won't bite or anything, just stares at you XD. And I love goats, they're adorable and I've heard they act just like puppies! I've loved getting to have goat's milk and goat cheese from the store.

I've already responded and said I'm very, very interested in this opportunity! I've got one more month of school left and then I'll have all the requirements for the job! It's in Jackson, Mississippi.
-------------------------------------
Thinking about writing something. Not sure what yet. I may do another request blog if I can't decide on anything.
Heya WonderfullySarcastic, I
------------------------------------------------
And now...the drama has returned.
I got a letter from my university saying that I do not meet all the requirements for graduation in the Summer and that my graduation date has been pushed back to the Fall Semester. I suspect this is because they haven't counted the transient courses I've taken, or possibly that they didn't get the approval for me to take a 'directed studies' course with my professor as a substitute for Calculus. Maybe a combination of both, but anyway...
Yeah Mom was the one that opened the letter up and she's pissed off now because she thinks the university is trying to get me to take more classes. I'm already $31K in debt and this Chemistry 2 class i'm taking now should be the very last thing I have left before I graduate.
I tried to call the adviser twice but couldn't get in touch with her, so I just sent an e-mail. This needs to be sorted out soon since I should be done in time to possibly get some job opportunities in August/September.
I badly need a job so I can start paying back my student loans, and apparently to get a job, I have to have the piece of paper saying I graduated. So all of this should hinge on finishing Chemistry 2.
Worst case scenario should be that I don't get my diploma until December. The good thing is that I can get a statement from the university saying I did graduate but just don't have the physical diploma yet. And even if that's the case I can still make this work.
Still...I'm just as tired over all this college crap as my Mom is. I already feel like I've wasted my life trying to finish this degree, and it seems like that light at the end of the tunnel will never get here. I only hope this is just one big misunderstanding and that I am not forced into taking more classes. I've worked far too hard to get this degree for the university to just screw me over.
Edit - It's regarding the Calculus courses. I got a quick response from the adviser saying that she does not have any information about me substituting Precalculus and Calculus 1 for the "Mathematics in Geology" course I took with my professor and that I need to get that information to her ASAP. I just sent e-mails to both the Earth Sciences dean as well as my professor who I took the substitution course with, so I hope I can get this settled quickly.
Edit #2 - The Earth Sciences Dean responded a little while ago and said that I should have an approval form for the Calculus 1 substitute in my file, and if not, she'll take care of making a new one. I thanked her and said that if she needs me to be there for any reason regarding the matter, to please let me know.
God I love the Earth Sciences faculty! They really care about us.
So thanks to a company on
It's a good practice to save your AA, AAA, D, and other single-use batteries for recycling, as it keeps them out of landfills thus keeping some nasty contaminants out of our groundwater. There are some battery recycling centers around the US but I never knew where to take these to around Mobile. With Working for Green's help, I learned that Best Buy takes these batteries for recycling.
Here's a few photos of them below -

Well, everyone ready for some
We got a letter a little while ago saying I wouldn't graduate from my university this semester, so I contacted the academic advisor for the College of Arts and Sciences about it. Turns out not only one of my classes didn't get included on my transcript, but that I had an issue with maximum hours and so on. Mostly issues with the university's transcript system.
Anyway, long story short, it's all taken care of and once I finish Chemistry 2 at the community college I'm going to, I will have met all of my requirements for the degree, and will be officially done.
One more month of Chemistry 2 left to go, baby!
Just applied to 9 new jobs -
This is only a makeshift
Quick update from me - I've
So I've applied to a few places around Houston, Atlanta, and Pittsburgh. I'm going to focus on applying in Atlanta and Pittsburgh since I have friends and relatives that way, and will try to look for jobs in Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland as well. I also have a friend in my class that says he will ask some people he knows if they have jobs open. He said one of them is in Virginia, and the other I think he said was in Houston.
I'm excited and nervous as hell. But I know I'm doing really well in the class and no doubt will pass. I've done good on the first two exams, and only have two quizzes and the final left to go. Shouldn't be too hard.

I had originally planned to get the kanji symbol for 'samurai' on my back just below my neck, between the shoulder blades. I want it to be hidden when I wear a t-shirt or dress shirt, but visible when I wear a tank top. But now the idea is to get a pair of Velociraptor claws on the insides of my feet, to where they looked like they were physically attached and shadowed so they'd look realistic.
The Samurai symbol would be easier and probably cheaper, but the Raptor claws would be something unique. I've heard that tattooing the feet hurts though, so there's a concern there too.
The one definite thing is that it needs to be concealed. I'd be able to show off the raptor claws if I wore sandals, but in a professional setting they wouldn't be visible. And hopefully if I did the Samurai symbol it wouldn't show over my collar.
So what do you guys think? It's a tough choice to make for my first tattoo.
I'd choose the one with more
I'd never choose a motive just because I think it looks cool or because it's not your common tattoo (like a skull, wings... a wolf etc.). I might think different in a few years and then I'd be stuck with it.
Well for the longest I wanted
It seems like the obvious choice is to go with the raptor claws but I'm worried about the pain that comes with a foot tattoo. I still have some time to decide.
Thanks for the thoughts, it really does help XD
I think it is worth the pain
I'd like to have my whole back tattooed one day which will be expensive and pretty painful. x)
So the good news is that I
The better news is that I got a call and a voicemail during the exam. May have an interview with Aerotek in Birmingham, AL.
GUYS I PASSED CHEMISTRY 2!!
My Congratulations , Quad !!
YAY!! Grats
WOO! \o/
Today it seems to be a really

I'M SO HAPPY HUGE PROPS TO YOU
Congrats Quad!
YAY QUAD!!! Knew you could do
Knew you could do it! ♥

A little update from me - I sent the transcript request on Monday, and it says it was sent yesterday. What this means is that *hopefully* my university will have received it today or tomorrow. It shouldn't take that long to get there really since the community college is roughly an hour from Mobile, but still...
It's gotta be delivered by Monday or else they will not consider me 'graduated' until December.
So basically, I'm going to call them tomorrow and see if it's come in. If it hasn't, well I'm driving to the community college, grabbing a copy of the transcript, and then going to my university and delivering it myself.
The other good news I have is that I was able to get one more postponement of my student loans, so now they're not due until February. This is great for me because I will hopefully have a job soon, and can use the $350 I'd be paying monthly to get settled in my apartment.
So now I'm sending applications out like crazy. I have been applying mostly in the northeast, primarily Pittsburgh, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, and northern Alabama. I will apply to the one company in Jackson, Mississippi again since they wanted a copy of my transcript. So who knows where I will ultimately be, but at this point, I'll go just about anywhere.
Edit -
Updated 'I've applied to jobs in these states' map. Decided to look a little farther west, I figure I can make the drive to them so...yeah.

I'm a little nervous...I sent
Basically the reason why I'm getting into panic mode is that the deadline for my university to finalize Summer graduations is Monday, and if my Chem 2 transcript doesn't get there in time, I will not have my degree until December. They sure don't give us a whole lot of time for this.
The community college said it should get there today or tomorrow. I have a few days but there's nothing I can do to get that transcript there faster. I wanted to just drive down to the community college, get a copy of it, and take it to my university myself but they said they do not accept 'hand delivered' transcripts.
Someone shake me and tell me to get ahold of myself.
*shakes* There's still

I just checked my transcript
Thanks for the impromptu encouragement, Pega XD
--------------------------
I forgot to mention one more thing. One of my professors said something very cool and I wanted to share it with you guys.
Me - Hey Dr. C - I just wanted to let you know that I passed Chemistry 2, and so I've done everything to get my degree now. I wanted to say thank you for all the help you gave and all the advice. I quote you all the time and you've been a great friend and mentor.
Dr. C - Thank you, Chris! Your persistence has been inspiring! I wish all students had the heart that you display.
So hey, nobody celebrate yet
Anyway, I'll keep you guys updated if I get an interview with them or not. I'll still continue to send out job applications but I may be a landfill gas technician with a company called Waste Connections, Inc.
I'd most likely have to live closer to Memphis since there don't seem to be many apartments available around Walnut. I'm looking at a town called Southaven in Mississippi that I may end up living in and commuting to the job.

I'm incredibly bummed right
There's a 'help wanted' opportunity to work on a Buddhist retreat center near San Fransisco, CA.
It would be general maintenance and repair work, which I could do.
Free housing and vegetarian meals, as well as free meditations. And you'd get $150 a month allowance (I live off of about the same amount while living with Mom).
And you'd get to learn a lot of stuff like vegetarian cooking, gardening, landscaping, sustainable living, and other stuff.
The only reason why I'm not applying for it is two words...student loans. I couldn't afford to go there because I owe so much money.
Maybe one day I'll attend a retreat there. At least that would be something, right?
I feel like a hypocrite for
But that's just me. I think a retreat would also do you good
I really wish I could go, it
I will go there sometime though. It's called the Odiyan Retreat Center. It'll be something to knock off my bucket list
The good thing is that if I were to get an interview around Pittsburgh, I know my aunt would let me have another 'vacation' up there. She treated me very well when I was job hunting at the end of last year, and I think she enjoys me being there too since she likes having someone that will go pretty much anywhere with her. My uncle and cousin are more of the "just want to sit at home and watch TV" kinds, where if you invite me to go anywhere, I'll gladly go.
-------------------------------------
I think I've applied to pretty much every entry level/junior level geologist, hydrogeologist, environmental scientist, environmental engineer, soil technician, landfill gas technician, and well sampling technician job I could find. I also applied to a few mud logging jobs as well as a museum technician job near Austin, TX. I just need to keep working on it.
One of my classmates said the following - "The company I'm with called me 5-6 weeks after I submitted my résumé"
So I need to keep this in mind that it may be some time before I hear anything.
Wow, that's a long time to
