When you figure out that your life consists of obsession after obsession...

So. Hi.

Last week, I saw a picture on the wonderful thing that is the Internet. It said: That moment when you realise that your life is basically obsession after obsession.

I must say, it consumed my thoughts for a few moments before I figured it out. But first, lets digress for a moment or two, shall we?

What is the meaning of Life? The question on everyone's lips. I figured it out quite a while ago, but it still confuses me quite greatly. The meaning of life is reproduction. I came up with this answer. But if this is the answer, why all these unneeded emotions? Why would we need grief, or jealousy, or sadness, or any of these silly emotions? I think that we will never fully know, or understand, the full potential that Life holds, or the things that it gives us.

Wow. That got deep.

Now, back to my original statement. That moment when you realise that your life is basically obsession after obsession. The context that this was in was meant for fandoms (eg. Tributes, Potterheads, Whovians, Twihards,... you get the picture.), but I thought about it a little more in-depth.

So I started thinking about what actually defines an obsession.

Here's what I think: An obsession is something that you are constantly aware of. It takes up a lot of your thoughts at any one time. You can't stop thinking about it. You follow it's every move, every day, to the point that it may become creepy.

Like I'm obsessed with a five person a Capella group called Pentatonix.

Anyways! What? Oh, right. What is an obsession. So... an obsession can be about anything, about anyone. So, why couldn't we be obsessed with life??

Well, we are.

I don't particularly want to abide by the rules. I want to go live out bush, hunt animals and live off the land.

With Wi-Fi. And electicity. But anyway.

Our obsession with life is reaching a breaking point. We have medicine, and we all know how to live and eat healthy. We do this because Society tells us to. We have become very afraid of Death, in his black cloak and long scythe. We have become attached to Life, because Society has given us too many things to want to live for. They have told us about the ideals that everyone wants. That everyone can HAVE! As long as you do a select number of things that are actually really hard to accomplish.

So, I have deduced that our only obsessions are Life, Death, and wanting to conform to Society. Because Society is good. And 'awesome'. And everything Life is. SOCIETY ISN'T GOOD. They send out bad messages. Sneakily.

But that's a different post.

Over and out, me.

#1- I'm Going to be The One That Rants.

Everyone has a pet peeve, if not many. I am one if those that has many things that get on my nerves. As it happens, I get annoyed quite a bit. If you would be so kind to let me rant each week, I will get annoyed at various things like a civilized person. Starting now.

WHEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES LOSE YOUR EVERYTHING.

So. This literally happened to me while trying to update recently. This was going to be about Politeness, Opinions and something else that I hadn't come up with. I had worked on the post that was becoming something, and I had been working on it for about a week and a half, slowly adding things as they came to my head. I was about halfway through it.

Apparently that was a great time to screw up.

There is an app for this [Blogger] for those of you that don't know.

Now, pretty much any app that involves save files stuffs up at some stage.

Whyyyyyyyyyy?! Why must it do that thing where it just decides to be a pain in the butt and delete everything that you have as a draft? Drafts are very important things!! People don't just sit down and write everything we do in one go! We aren't perfect! Drafts are things we use to put down ideas, to edit those ideas, and then a draft is no more. Then, we copy the draft and make a final copy. If that made sense.

But no, computers are perfect and we are the weaklings that created them.

OH MY GOD. I HAVE JUST COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE  ROBOT REVOLUTION HAS ALREADY BEEN STARTED. THE ROBOTS ARE TAKING OVER. PEOPLE STUCK TO THEIR PHONES ARE GOING TO BECOME THE ROBOTS' MINIONS. THE SUPERIOR BEING IS FINALLY TAKING OVER.

Crap.

Anyhow, considering I got slightly off topic just now, the computer losing stuff thing is serious.

FOR EXAMPLE::

"Hey Loise! Do you have that Geography stuff about stuff that was our assignment?"
"Oh, yeah I do, on my USB, but I'll double- check it on a laptop laterrrr."

*IN GEOGRAPHY LATERRRR*

"Hey Loise! Have you got that-"
" YES JOHN. I'll check it out now...."

*GETS ON LAPTOP AND PLUGS IN USB*

Louise:"FUUUUUUUUUUU-"
*FLIPS A TABLE*
*AND JOHN,  FOR GOOD MEASURE*

^^^ WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!?!
I FEEL LIKE RAGE-QUITTING LIKE LOUISE. I don't actually know anyone named Lousie, just so you know. Or John.  Random names are important. JUST LIKE DRAFTS. And backing up all of your work. Not joking, I keep forgetting to do it, but it us one of the most useful things you could learn for life----

~~IT'S BAACK.
MY BEAUTIFUL POST IS BACK.
THE POLITENESS AND OPINIONS AND WHATEVER I HADN'T DECIDED ON YET.

THANK YOU TO MY WIZID ADMIN GRACE, FOR USING YOUR MAGICAL PRESENCE TO FIX THE COMPUTER/ELECTRONIC DEVICE/ ROBOT THAT LOST ALL MY EVERYTHING AND FOR BEING A WIZID. I LOVE YOU.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK MY MOM--

No. But really, what point does this post have now? Not a lot.~~

Q: So, what have we learnt today?
A: People named John are annoying;  USB's are very important; Computers are already taking over the world; and DON'T USE APPS WITH SAVE FILES.

Thinking about it, this wasn't very helpful or productive. Oh well.

IT'S SOMETHING.

DON'T BECOME THE COMPUTERS' MINIONS WHILE I'M AWAY.

Kate.
