I tried a thread like this on an old forum and it went really well, maybe it will go well here.....

I always try to learn something new everyday, so it doesn't feel wasted. And that something doesn't have to be anything of major significance. It could be just some words of wisdom.

For example, I learned today that NSers belive that LG's left testicle is more valuable than work ethic.

I also learned how 10 pound weights can severely kick my ass.



Did any of my fellow NS Generalites learn anything today?

That euthanasia, no matter how painful, can be for the best.

At my work today we had to euthanize an old, cranky, and aggressive rottweiler. She had horrible hip displacia (sp?), and had several other conditions, so I know it was for the best, but I was fighting back tears because I was the only the person who she let pet her. She'd nuzzle against me, lick my hand and face, and wagged her tail when she saw me. I saw the dog she would have been in her youth, a playful, loving, and protective girl. And it made me wonder, how could anyone just abandon an old dog like that? After years of companionship, how could anyone be so heartless as to abandon her?

It depresses me, and angers me.

I learnt that I'm a complete twat, but I don't really understand why. And when I try to find out why, I act like an even bigger fucking twat.

I found out that my very calm zen husband harbors violent thoughts about someone. Which is kinda cute but also shocking.

I've learnt about the use of computers in archaeology.

Specifically, GIS doesn't stand for "Global Imagining Satellite", but for "Geographical Information System".

Then I had to use the latter. Not as disinteresting as it might sound.

I learned that christmas is only 17 days away and i still havent gotten anything for anyone :eek:

*goes to amazon*

Learnt that how much you argue your opinion, you're always wrong to someone.

Mister Sinister's real name is Nathaniel Essex.

I learnt that I'm a complete twat, but I don't really understand why. And when I try to find out why, I act like an even bigger fucking twat.

and you just learned that today? :tongue:

and you just learned that today? :tongue:

I guess I didn't learn it as have it.. reinforced as such.

I learned that next year will be the last year we will ever see polaroid film.

very sad indeed.

I've learned that self-help books about how to build social confidence are of absolutely zero value, as you end up sitting around reading them as an excuse to not actually go out and interact with real people.

I didn't have time to learn anything today; I had to go to school.

I didn't learn this today, I learnt it yesterday, but I still think it counts.

Don't use a cellphone while driving. You may just crash into someone, kill them and their child, and piss off the father who had to give up the chance to get glory in such a way that innocent people end up getting shot.

I've learned that self-help books about how to build social confidence are of absolutely zero value, as you end up sitting around reading them as an excuse to not actually go out and interact with real people.

You should hire me as your social confidence coach. I am in the throws of depression and can still make every stranger I meet like me.


I learned yesterday that 5 hour energy makes me sick as a dog. I learned today that I should never sleep for 16 hours.

I I learned today that I should never sleep for 16 hours.

Post on Nationstates and chat with various people on MSN?

time well spent.

time well spent.

Agreed. Is it problematic that the same people I'm chatting with are people that are also on NS right now?

Today specifically? Nothing really. Let me double check. Nope, not a thing. Yesterday I think I learned some stuff but I don't quite remember what.

That can happen from time to time. Used to happen with me quite often, but then I realized I need money to live, so now im working 2 jobs and have since taken a year hiatus from NS (which i just got off of) :mad:

But you gotta live huh?

Today specifically? Nothing really. Let me double check. Nope, not a thing. Yesterday I think I learned some stuff but I don't quite remember what.

Tomorrow is always another day.

Yeah. I learned something today - although I dearly wish I hadn't: There is a blind spot while backing up, even if you look over your shoulder.

This and that Smarts are small cars that are hard to see in the dark, their bumpers can't take shit (neither can the rear bumper on my car), and they tend to sneak up on you (while parked) when you're backing up.

Fuck.

And tomorrow you'll learn if your insurance actually covers it! Isn't life one big wonderful learning experience?

Those smart cars fucking suck! I've almost backed into one, too. And the jackass driving it gave me the finger, so I tailgated him, passed him, flipped him off, cut him off and slammed on my breaks, took a sharp turn, flipped him off again and laughed at him. He was stuck at a red light! The look on his face was priceless! :)

I learnt today that the fall of the radical press led to the rise of the traditional press though elements of the radical press are making a comeback.

Woah dude, you're so hardcore.

Woah dude, you're so hardcore.

He'd be more hardcore if he was driving a bus!

I also learnt that looking through the entire archive of a webcomic thats been going for about four years is a pretty good way of ensuring you get nothing productive done in the day :p

Tomorrow is always another day.

Don't count on me learning much tomorrow either.

Your mirrors are always much more reliable than looking over your shoulder. Why? Because you will always have mirrors (well, if you keep up with smacking things you may not) but you may not always have the ability to look over your shoulder and see out of the car. Why it is taught to back up like that in drivers ed I do not know.

If the mirrors on your vehicle are large enough go get a convex mirror put on at least the drivers side mirror. They help a lot when try to see 'around' the side of your car when you are backing up.

I learned that I need a magnifying glass to do my counted cross-stitch. I never needed one before.

I learned that I'm getting old.

I learned that I'm getting old.You aren't old 'til you stop having fun. Positive attitude. :p

You aren't old 'til you stop having fun. Positive attitude. :p

I'm actually having more fun now than I did when I was younger. Probably because I now have fewer responsibilities. Is this what they call a second childhood?

And tomorrow you'll learn if your insurance actually covers it! Isn't life one big wonderful learning experience?
Oh, the insurance better cover it. But what's worse, it's my Mom's car that I just borrowed for the weekend to take university stuff home after graduating and - as if I couldn't come up with anything better for her - today's her birthday.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/Facepalm_Motivator.jpg

Man, I'm still fuming that it happened. I backed out of a parking space and turned a little left while looking over my right shoulder (like one is supposed to, mind you!). I hit the parked car dead in the center of its rear with my bumper corner. Blind spot, came out of nowhere. And I wasn't even fast, after all I just drove for 2 meters. Yet both need new "bumpers". Bumpers, hah!
Gah. I just hope it ain't too expensive to fix my bumper - the other one should be covered by the insurance. Otherwise it's bye-bye to the cash I just got for graduation and my own birthday.

Yeah, well - I did how I was taught in driver's ed and have been driving backwards accident-free like that for the last 131/2 years. Using the mirrors is only advised if you don't have a rear window or have junked it up.
Man, I'm so mad at myself. Fuck. Shit happens, life goes on. Tomorrow.
If the mirrors on your vehicle are large enough go get a convex mirror put on at least the drivers side mirror. They help a lot when try to see 'around' the side of your car when you are backing up.
They ain't. It's a VW Polo MkIII.

I am so very sorry... ignore my tasteless and stupid joke <.< >.>
Don't worry, life is one great learning experience. No harm done to me, I'm fine. But the cars... *sobs*

Aw well, if anything, I'll drive even more careful now - without becoming an obstacle, that is.

I learned that you should never mention sleeping with hookers to your girlfriend. even if ti was 8 years in the past.

"Global Imagining Satellite",
:p


I learned that I can still have civil conversations with my father, despite the fun of last week

I learned that the opening combination I used in my last thirty or so chess games sucks. (After having lost the thirty or so games in which I used it. You'd think I'd have learned sooner...) The first game during which I stopped relying on them was the best I ever played in my entire life! (Unless you count that time I used the Fool's Mate, which I don't.)

I also learned that while people almost invariably try to be objective, they almost invariably are not. This depends primarily on what they have been conditioned to believe. For example, if two people were each given an abstract image to study for ten seconds, one of which depicts an old lady, and the other a much younger lady, both of which are almost identical with only enough differences here and there to imply one or the other, upon being given a third image which resembles both, the one who had the old lady's image usually sees another old lady, and the one with the younger lady's portrait usually guesses the image to be of a young lady.

And they say brainwashing is just part of some unfounded conspiracy theory!
(Speaking of conspiracy theories, you ever notice how only two out of at least five political parties actually have any power? Or media coverage? And what of the thirty dozen or so pills senior citizens are threatened into taking? To say nothing of the fact that brain scans indicate that after eating American food, one's hypothalamus gland, which, among other things, is responsible for regulating one's appetite, is often damaged, depending on what one has eaten...)

I learned that you should never mention sleeping with hookers to your girlfriend. even if ti was 8 years in the past.
how long were you with said girlfirend before you mentioned this?

Don't count on me learning much tomorrow either.





You never know what you might learn in a day.

I cut myself trying to open my Orange Crush, it is the best soda I have ever drank. Now you have learned something.

On another note, I found that a pair of dog nail clippers makes a handy bottle opener.

I have learned today that one single cup of coffee can go a long way.

I learned never to drink russian vodka from Kentucky, even if it is only 5 dollars a 5th.

I learned group work at uni is the shit. (take that comment how you will)

I also saw the prime minister say he saved the world. (see for yourself if you don't believe me)

I learned that...If.........you.......frick.....[I][I have short term memory loss :(/I]

I'm learning that having a large bottle of Lucozade helps when pulling all nighters.

oh now i know...I learned that if you watch educational cartoons for 5 hours in dusty's den at the airport while waiting for your plane you actually feel like you've lost some knowledge making room for the useless shit they teach you in those shows.

I learnt that if I don't panic about my reading and essays, I actually get more done, as I'm not expending so much energy in stress that I'm worn out by midway through the day. I also learnt that I hate being practically the only person at uni when everyone's gone home. Most people would think that? Of course they would. But for little ol' 'ARGH PEOPLE ARE SCARY, MAKE THEM GO AWAY' me any small pieces of evidence that I'm not *totally* a weird anti-social loner freak count as a revelation (not in the biblical sense, though the shock of my previous statement is basically at a hell freezing over sorta scale, so maybe the demons will come to the surface to escape the cold and cause an apocalypse). While writing this post, I also learned that I like to ramble on and on while making very little sense. Yay.

To be be the white from DI black.

Today I have learned much more about stress,how its impacts my life and how to deal with it. I also think I have learned much more about how to talk & interacts better with those of the opposite sex and to slowly become a better person in terms of how I deal with schoolwork,homework and how I talk with my mom in regards to matters(just about everything) that make her flip.

I also learned not to become to depentent on anyone person for happiness and that everybody sometimes feels down, that depression is natural and can be dealt with and if you work hard to improve who & what you are you will find someone who loves you enough to help you improve yourself. Even if you already have someone who been doing that for a year now.

Now I just have to step it up. To put foreward action to make those who I care about & return those same feelings to me while at the same time providing moral support as well to become more publicly invole with me.. :P


All in all, every night has it dawn and you just gotta finds those who care about you.Never settle for less then you deserve and never be scare of hitting the highway and finding what you want. You just might :0)


In other words......I had a few really good days. I still feel stress and a little bit depress, and I gotta alotta work to do in school to get my grades up and to improve my soical connections. But at least now I think I finally making progress.

Anyway,time to end my blog.... :P

that i spend WAAAAAY too much time running off at the keyboard on forums like this one.

(i learn this everyday but it doesn't seem to help a bit. everything i have to say, that's inspired by anything i hear or see anyone else say anywhere, is just too vitally important to the whole universe for me to feel other then extremely frustrated untill i get, on some forum somewhere, to do so. as if as if. yah i know. i ain't no bigger deal then anyone else. but when something comes through you, that your the one its given to to have to say, wherever in the nonmaterial universe it might have come from, well maybe it just might be all that vital. you never can tell which thing might be and which might not. and since it can come through any one of us, none of us less then anyother either, well then if something just has to be said, then it just has to be said.

sometimes, a lot of times, i'll see where someone else has already said it, and sometimes maybe even said it better. i do need more often to leave it go at that when someone has. but then i don't always have or take the time to go all the way through a thread to see if someone else has.

sometimes it even turns out to have been myself. argh!)

I learnt that sports teams are populated by gregarious, Jack Wills wearing, public school twats with a misplaced sense of entitlement, and an ability to speak louder than the rest of the room.

A friend of mine (who knows way too much about music, own 500+ vinyls, etc.) said that originally they were called green jello, but were sued by jello so they changed their name to green jelly. Apparently other legal issues followed with that so eventually they disbanded and reformed as GWAR.

That sleeping for 13 hours doesn't really provide energy for the day ahead, if anything it makes you more tired.

I learnt that NSG only shows on Firefox in this really tiny font. Which annoys.

You can fix that easily. If you go to TOOLS --> OPTIONS and under OPTIONS go to the CONTENT tab, you'll see the Fonts & Colours area. You can select your defaults from there; change the font face or size. You can do more if you go to the advance settings. If that still doesn't help, try emptying your cache and/or restarting Firefox. :)

Are you sure you didn't transfer money from one account to that one when you were blind drunk because you knew you would need some as you were going to the strip club but then because you passed out in a back alley didn't end up spending the money you had transferred?

Because that's what happened to me once when I noticed a couple hundered in my account and couldn't work out why.

I learned to never take a Amtrak train again, I was four hours late to my destination.

Cram, baby, cram.

Through deep thought, I have learned stuff today.

For instance, everything is flawed, whether monotheistic, polytheistic, atheistic, or secular, scientific or psuedo-scientific, etc. That's why I have this urge to make a new religion. While other religions have boring stuff like Bhudda or Darwin, this one has Jesus (possibly in zombie, apacolypse-bringing form), Anpu (Anubis to those of you who still let those ancient Greeks boss you around), Abraham Lincoln (hell yeah), Santa (bow down to Santa or be crushed by his jolly boots of doom), and Zeppelin. Don't insult Zeppelin, if you know what's good for you.

Also, Horus is a chozo. Think about it.

I learned this weekend that you should never assume that the battery in the security alarm at your friend's beach house will always work for you.

I learned that sometimes the Internet doesn't have a convenient way to seperate good information from bad information, looking for problems with RFID tags and i'm coiming up a blank mostly, or even reports of hospitals that have implemented them. Like pushing water uphill, i'll get there eventually but it'l take far too long.

Tomorrow I will probably learn how to apply a soothing salve to my arsehole.

Well, then I learnt where I can get $50 shirts (retail price) for $15.

Today? I learned that Charlemagne's capitulary apropos Saxony is 802 was a provision "of unequalled harshness". Let that be a lesson to all those who claim history has no practical use.

It's just delicious. You should try it sometime.

I learned that my three Platys are a male and two (at the moment) preggers females.

No wonder I have a fry! Maybe more soon, if the others don't eat 'em....

You have Platypus?

Don't insult Zeppelin, if you know what's good for you.

Zeppelin are boring ripoff artists.

I learned that Katganistan lives near Healsville, Victoria or in Tasmania (or somewhere in South East Australia that has platypi)

I also learnt that I'm a pretty okay Politics teacher because 75% of my students got above the state average in their final year results. But I also learnt that it was good teamwork and luck that helped - and that there is plenty of room for improvement still.

She's actually American.

I learnt today that my lunch breaks are to be cut down.

today i've learned next week's time off can't come soon enough


Tomorrow I will probably learn how to apply a soothing salve to my arsehole.

lol, nice :P

I learnt today that my lunch breaks are to be cut down.

That's shite about your lunch breaks.

I have just learnt that Katganistan is an American living in Australia or that her zoo has successfully bred platypi in America! (But that would be in the newspapers because it would be pretty special - like the pygmy hippo that was recently born in an Aussie zoo!)

That's shite about your lunch breaks.

It is, but hey, I can still access NSG.

Today I learned how to make blood sausage, and by the end of the shift forgot...

I learned that some Turkish people really can't hold their alcohol.

today I learned I dont type as well when I am sober.

Today I learned that i'm a master at cheering people up. :)

Today I learned, thanks to KoL, about the Dear Leader.:D

Zeppelin are boring ripoff artists.

Today, I learned that agents of Xenuland have infiltrated our tubes, polluting our internets with their heresy. Zepland shall crush you soul-lacking Xenu huggers. Anpu and Honest Abe said so, as according to a new kickass religion.

Zeppelin are boring ripoff artists.



I agree that it is heresy, you better have some back up for that statement.

I learned how to make a woven hat.

This (http://www.alwaysclowning.com/sitebuilder/images/balloon_camp_balloon_hat-188x250.jpg) isn't mine, my camera battery is dead, but mine looks like it only different colors, well, and not as tall.

I only popped 3 balloons learning it. That's awesome. It took 12 balloons to make (not counting the three I popped).

I learned that law exams really are as draining as everyone says. I really hadn't noticed while they were still going on.

I have learned that the world is the same today as it was yesterday. I look forward to tomorrow to see if it is the same again. (Safest bet is that it will be).

That disliking someone for being an idiot is wrong, not matter how right you are. -_-'

That disliking someone for being an idiot is wrong, not matter how right you are. -_-'

One of the BEST reasons to dislike someone is their being an idiot.

I learned that you can make a new religion, have it involve a possibly ficticious "holy land", and it will make more sense than Scientology. I did. There's Jesus in it, of course. And Abraham Lincoln. Can't start something new and exciting without him. Or Anpu, or Anubis for those of you who let those Xenu-hugging Greeks boss you around.

I agree that it is heresy, you better have some back up for that statement.

You can't back it up. It's like trying to back up a theory that light is slower than sound or that Anpu and Lincoln don't rock. You can't prove it because it's so horribly incorrect.

I can back it up because it's true, see above post. Also Lincoln didn't rock, he hated blacks and supported the lynching of Italians.

I learnt I'm having keyhole surgery on my right knee on tuesday.

I can back it up because it's true, see above post. Also Lincoln didn't rock, he hated blacks and supported the lynching of Italians.

I'm still not seeing where he "didn't rock"

I learned that my High School Chorus teacher can still get me to sing in Chorus Concerts 5 years after I graduated.

And that I can still sing.

I can back it up because it's true, see above post. Also Lincoln didn't rock, he hated blacks and supported the lynching of Italians.

No he didn't. He just:
a. Didn't want to alienate the border states by outlawing slavery outright. He had a civil war to win.
b. Couldn't see how a group of people could integrate into a society that mostly hated them. The blacks were the Jews of nineteenth-century America. EVERYONE wanted them gone for one reason or another, usually job-related.

And I'm going to need proof of the Italian thing.

i learned that PC and Mac fanboys are still going at it.

i also learned that bad dreams can make you late for work...

I have learned that, if you are a freelance professional, you ALWAYS must carry a cell phone or some other means to be accessed. Not doing so very nearly cost me a nice job and an even nicer customer.

I learnt that when you don't have a job no one wants to speak to you. Once you get a new job every bastard wants to give you interviews.

I learned that I worry too much. :p

Go free-lance. ;)

I've learnt that you should never ask a friend to fix a computer that contains photos that give him excellent leverage over you.

Juicy...

lol, well I do have an ABN now. But it's amazing the past few weeks I have been applying for jobs and getting no where. I start a new job yesterday and I am woken up this morning by two companies both calling me to arrange interviews.

Juicy...

Juicy enough to keep me at his mercy for a while ..... or at least until I can get something on him

I learned that health insurance companies (at least the ones int he U.S.) suck balls.

I learned that I have low sales resistance when good-looking young Israeli men hold my hand.

I have learned that, if you are a freelance professional, you ALWAYS must carry a cell phone or some other means to be accessed. Not doing so very nearly cost me a nice job and an even nicer customer.

Most of my customers get me through e-mail or call me at home...

I learned today that having 5 days off when you don't have enough money to pay rent isn't fun.

Most of my customers get me through e-mail or call me at home...

I wasn't home at the time, and the job was urgent. What do you do? o_O

I found out while making burgers that the bread i had was too thin, so what did i do?
I knuckled two pieces together and hey presto it worked.
but then i overcooked the burgers, ahh it's all experience.

Cooking is irritating. You have to do everything right all the time, and one mistake can cost you your dinner.

That's why it's better to stick to error-free chinese takeout. Oh, if only I had enough money to live on Chinese takeout I'd be...well. I'd be fat, to be honest.

I learned how to wrap a matchbox car.

I learned that when you go to the only place that sells the one last perfect gift for a particular person, either they're out or the computers are all down (damn Tickets West).

Wychwood brew good beer.

I wasn't home at the time, and the job was urgent. What do you do? o_O

Well, to be fair most of my stuff is web design, CD covers, and things that aren't urgent.

I didn't think that was possible.


G.I. Joes were hard enough.

I learned that I will probably live in abject poverty for another year! Go me!

How would NSG do without me though?

Thats not a bad idea... just for that you are hereby appointed Secretary of State.

Tonight, I learned that yet more kiddies in my home-town that I used to babysit now have beards and can legally buy booze.

And that Ardbeg is my new favourite whisky.

Aye, I'm a fan of Laphroaig and Bruichladdich, but Ardbeg was a recommendation from my brother who's just back from a wee trip to Islay.

ah of course, Jura also has quite peaty whisky, or maybe Isle of Mull.

If you ever get the chance try one called "the peat monster", according to tastings by some customers who really like peaty ones they say it's really good.
I'd get a taste for whisky too, but it's a little expensive at the moment.

yay, ;)

No shit. I have been trying to keep up the business for 3 years, and believe me is ain't easy.

Today I learned I can lose 5 pounds in the bathroom.

Tonaight, I learn't that my mum got me Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation for Christmas.

You got a console, so that you could play one game? Brilliant.

I've learned that having 8 grandchildren (4 stepsons) within the span of 3 years makes Christmas an enjoyable day; however the gift shopping prior to Christmas, an experience I would not wish on anyone. The rudeness of some shoppers never ceases to amaze and confound me.

That Pentangle had like 3 extra members I'd never heard of or even knew existed.

That it's easier to take someone off your ignore list than it is to add someone.

I've learnt that you should never ask a friend to fix a computer that contains photos that give him excellent leverage over you.

You also shouldn't have your girlfriend fix yor computer if you're a police-infortmant for tht anti-terrorism unit of the police, especially if you're spying on political parties and groups like Greenpeace.


Thank god it wasn't me, eh?

Today I learned that it is possible to get sigged twice in a day....in a single thread nonetheless.

That some people still live in the '50s where their attitudes towards women are concerned. These people are younger than my daughter!

I'm a big fuck up.

If it's one thing stupid people understand, it's violence. That's how Zepland settles its disputes with those idiots in Xenuland. By punching them in the face.

Violence: the universal language.
