College Dayz

I've been thinking about going back to school and major in english (and a minor in technology). Why those two? Well there are quite a few things that I could do with them (especially for my video game career as a Designer). It's been way too long since I've been in school...and the hardest part about it is: If I was still in school, I would have been done by next year. So that's 3 years wasted. God I hate myself sometimes.

My IQ is 118, and according to this website where I took an IQ test from Tickle.com people that fall in the 111 to 120 category where they are in college or heading towards their Master's Degree Level. Plus the sites said that "Your Intellectual Type is Precision Processor. This means you're exceptionally good at discovering quick solutions to problems, especially ones that involve math or logic. You're also resourceful and able to think on your feet. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results." and because of this, I'd be a great manager, teacher, or accountant.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, your IQ = 100(Mental Age/Chronological Age). So since I'm 21, I did the math (118/100=1.18 and 1.18 X 21 = 24.78) so that means my mental age is of a 24 year old. I guess I'm more mature than I thought ^_^ This test really gave me some confidence in going back to college.





What you just read above is an old post draft I created over five months ago and I wanted to reflect on how I view things now. Today (as I'm typing this) is my first day of college in three years (what a hiatus, eh?). Do I still want to be an English Major? No. Now I've thought about doing Web Design, and I hope that my college will support that small dream of mine. What am I expecting out of life? Not much really. As long as I don't expect much, I will be surprised when it comes. Will I continuously type new articles from now on? I have my doubts. This is just out of whim, you could say. I haven't been contacting my friends that much, I only have one. Recently I've moved to a new appartment, my sister has gotten married, and I have found myself liking this new beard that's grown on my face (previously I was into goatees, but as you can see in my updated photo, it's grown). Job? Not yet. Right now I'm just taking things one day at a time, and hopefully that will be enough. What I've found in my life is this; I have no big ambition, just miniature materialistic ones. I've decided to "quit" (more like a small hiatus...I wonder if anyone will notice that I'm gone)one of my favorite web forums for a while until I have two strong feet in my educational feild (I swear, I'm one of the biggest procrastinators), and I no longer have internet access at my appartment, so the only places to actually work is at public libraries where time online is somewhat limited.

Well good day to you all, and I hope everyone will have a splendid night.

"What if..." we live in the Marble Theory?

What's the Marble Theory you ask? Well the Marble Theory was brought up in the 70's where people thought "What if there's a universe inside a universe". For example, take the children's toy glass marble...what if in a microscopic level that we haven't even imagined to reach there's a universe inside that chunk of glass? Of course the same thing can be said about our very own universe...what if our universe is a part of an even larger universe? This has already been shown in some movies. In Men In Black, Agents J and K had to protect a galaxy that was held on a cat's collar (or "belt" as they called it), and at the end of the movie they showed a larger view scale of the universe, and it actually shows our universe inside a marble (hence the Marble theory).

Another example of the marble theory would be in two stories of Dr. Seuss. There's "The Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Horton Hears a Who". How are they related to the theory? Well where are the Whos located? In "The Grinch Stole Christmas" they were located on a snowflake and in "Horton Hears a Who" they were on a flower.

So simply put, do you find this theory plausible?

"What if..." we truly are alone.

What if we truly are alone in the universe, then what true purpose do all the other solar systems and galaxies hold? Is it just for our mere entertainment because of our own expansive mind and curiosity? If in the future we reached beyond our expectations in space travel and technology and found out that there wasn't anything out there, isn't that too much of a disappointment? What's the point?

Of course I believe in other intelligent beings in the universe, but it's sorta like waking up and noticing that you're the only person alive, you see ghostly figures, and you'll continue to search the globe all your life to find out that there isn't a single soul out there. It's just too much of a depressing thought. Tell me what you think. Is it possible that we're alone? Do you believe we are? I honestly never thought so...
