Motivation

"I have no motivation to start studying"
Maybe I am reading into this a little too far but let me try and get my point across anyway.
Studying entails using your memory to learn facts, situations and methods in order to better reflect intelligence. But then if it is just memorising these things, is intelligence even at play? I think not. Or am I just being dumb? Instead of testing intelligence  maybe our memory is rather being tested. I find this wrong, which brings me to my point: Why do we not have motivation at times to do certain work, study for tests or prepare for oral tasks? The answer is simple. Today, useless tasks such as memorising facts and testing memory defines who we are after school and the lack of motivation proves that we do not want it to be so. Why is our success defined by these dumb tasks? Motivation comes when we are genuinely interested. So that is why I think that lazy people at school level may not always be lazy in the years to come, but instead need something that interests their person. Success is easily achievable and finding it hard to study must not be seen as failure.
Peace out, yo.

5 things you might want to refrain from saying at school.

The five things I recommend not verbally communicating at school.

1. Number one on the list would definitely be, "Suck my dick!" although extremely relevant to most if not all situations it doesn't ALWAYS go down too well, especially if there are teachers or people of power close by.
2. "Don't be a slut", now for whatever reason this phrase has become quite popular amongst some guys and while I personally find it funny, a teacher might not fully understand the immaturity fuelled humour  we posses and in turn could very possibly make us choke and die on the power they seem to enjoy forcing down our throats on a daily basis. (Too harsh? Go have a cup of tea)
3. "Hey teacher, did you go to college to learn how to tell children to 'Shhhh'? No? I didn't think so." This holds some worth and I cannot be the only one that gets annoyed to the point of wanting to shove a pen into my eye when teachers constantly yell, 'Shhhh!' at the top of their lungs even when there is hardly any noise, they are the ones making most of the noise anyway, like dude don't demand our attention so harshly but rather teach us in such a way that we want to pay attention or something. Shhhh isn't even a word you tonsils. I dunna, just like my opinion man.
4. "What is a clitoris?" Uhm, like if you don't know what a word means, and it sounds awkward, chances are you are going to get an awkward as fuck explanation or none at all even. We live in the 21st century you tit, its this mystical thing called Google.
5. "Your religious views are stupid and you should feel stupid" Well that's pretty basically what some communicate. Here's an idea, if you feel so strongly that everyone else's opinion is incredibly wrong, keep it the hell to yourself if it means you avoid hurting their feelings. What's the point even? There's almost no proof so why argue, what a waste of effort you could have used in making the world a better place, talking about the weather or making a cup of tea.

Peace out gaahhhz.

You have changed my life Dom, thank you.

As an incredibly sad reality sets in, with the passing of an incredible person, Dominic Fugareu, we must try to look at the positivity this incredible boy has brought to our lives. I'm talking about how as a community he brought us together in prayer and positive thinking. He got most if not all of us thinking about how fragile our lives on earth are, how we should take advantage of all the opportunities that present themselves to us and not to fret the small things because in the end they do not matter in the slightest. I did not personally know Dom, but I do know this, he had an incredible charisma about him and whenever I had the pleasure of seeing him in the corridors he was sporting his friendly and inviting smile. Dom's life has affected me in more ways than one, even though I did not experience the pleasure of knowing him personally, his story has made me think long and hard about my life and how I live day-to-day. I know that I cannot possibly be the only one he has touched like this. Dom, you are an inspiration to all and have touched so many lives, thank you.
With Love

Eyecandy, that's all.

With the media brainwashing us on a daily basis as to what is hot and what is not, we have idolised certain people. Men do it, women do it, as a guy I can say I look to Kate Upton in specifics, and without knowing why either (although it might have something to do with her gigantic boobs or something). From what I can tell, Kate Upton's equivalent (As in the dude girls go crazy for) is Matt Lanter. Its funny how we almost get a crush on these celebrities, because lets be real here, there is no prospect for anything great to happen, dreams are good though. The only problem with these fantasticle dreams of these "super humans" is that it alters our vision and influences us into leading a life of superficiality because all we see in these people (mostly) is their physical appearance, and eventually judge everyone in this way. Keep it real everyone!

How disgusting... lol

What a man beast... I guess...

What do teachers do off duty?

I'm not even so sure how I got to think about this, I guess it was in some random subject when some random teacher was being incredibly rigid and unreasonable about something dumb (whatever it was, they do it so often I lose track). So what exactly do teachers do with their free time? Quite obviously they go to the staff room for breaks, but what do they do in there? As much as I'd love to believe they have a secret bowling alley that pops out of nowhere with the press of a button, or maybe even an indoor swimming pool for some water aerobics though this might not be 100% true. Unless of course the schools budget is seriously out of balance in their favour, but this would mean they wouldn't be so on-edge and grumpy all the time, right? So I have concluded that this is what they could possibly be doing instead:

1. Making coffee (Caffeine free of course, wouldn't want them to have any stimulants!)
2. They then drink only half of the God-awful coffee mix, and leave the mug to stand on their desks for a minimum time period of 2 weeks, or until it grows a beard.
3. Mark test papers, I assume this takes up crap tons of time.
4. Complain about how today's kids are not made how they were used to.
5. Plot ways in which to make lessons less user friendly and boring (If that's even possible)
6. Complain about how boys haircuts determine how well they do in school and how the colour of girls hair does the same.
7. Moan about low pay, even though they drive decent cars...
