I just saw the movie. What a waste of time! A bunch ofo philosophers telling me that if I think positive, things will magically happen to me. basically, the laws of attraction will fix my problems, no matter what they are. if I imagine I have a brand new car, it'll happen. If I imagine that I'll earn 100 thousand dollars a year, it'll happen.
They show things like a women staring at a neckless through a window, and all of a sudden, she gets it from out of nowhere. a guy touching a rock while being greatfull about all the things that he has, and then sending it to Africa, and the rock cures some kid's cencer.
They say that every disease that a person has, it's his own fault, and his fault alone. because of stress. :/ and of course dont forget, if you think the cencer will go away, it'll eventually go away. nice job universe!
And that's not all! Appearently, if we ignore all the bad things, they'll go away! that's amazing!
I cant believe I wasted an hour and a half on this bullshit.
Ok people, I understand that the whole profiles thing is new and exciting, but that dosent mean you have to add every single person you can lay your eyes on.
I have 118 "friends", and I dont know who most of them are, and I never even seen them on the boards. with that being said, I'm honored that you decided to make the life changing decision and add me as your friend, just so you can have more friends than the next person. so far I didnt reject anyone, because that's not very nice. but this is getting way out of hand. I realise I wrote that I'm friendly, and feel free to talk to me, and all that jazz, but that dosent mean you have to add me right away. you can get to know me on MSN, or ICQ, send me a PM or something. it just seems like you add to increase your number of friends, and your e-ego.
So when things cool down a bit, and you'll get back to your normal daily e-routine, I will delete some of you, because I dont know you. the only people I want as my friends are the ones that I know/like/seen on the forums and liked them. that's it. I dont need to add 3000 friends just to feel important. that just dosent work for me, and I dont really like the idea behind it. no offence to anyone who did go around and add everyone on the site, but that's just not me.
In Israel, once a person finishes high school, and turns 18, he has to join the army. The army released me a year and a half because of a health problem. (more about my health issues and opinions about the army in the future).
So this summer, I decided that I want to volunteer somewhere. I didnt want to get a job like most people. I plan on getting a full time job after I finish college, so this summer I wanted to help. now, the reason I want to volunteer is to help people, and maybe change their life a bit. I didnt want money, or "good for you" comments from people. I just wanted to help.
So I went to the biggest community center in the city. I asked if there's anything I can do to help, and volunteer somehow. and she laughed. laughed in my face. I was in shock. I couldnt believe it. no wonder the world hates us so much. they should. anyway, she wasent completly useless. she gave me a phone number of a guy who is in charge of the whole volunteering in my town. so I called him, and we set a meeting.
I came in, talked to him, and said that I would really like to help somehow. he gave me a couple of options: help in the court, helping people to fill out forms. people who cant speak hebrew. he said they are looking for people like me, who know both russian and hebrew. another option was to help people with down syndrom, and spend time with them. another option was to be a guide at a sports camp, for kids. he said he'll talk to the people in charge of all of these things, and they'll call me.
I was waiting 2 weeks for a call, and nothing happend. so I decided I go to visit him again. he was shocked noone called me, and said he'll work on it. 1 week later I decided to go to this youth center, and maybe talk to them about something, and they closed the place. I went to the Studio where people learn hebrew, and offered my help, they said they dont want it. I went to a bunch of community places and noone wanted my help.
feeling sad and frustrated, I decided to give up. after searching the entire city where to help, noone wanted it. I assumed someone would. oh well... I guess now it's too late. I will start colllege in September, and then right after it I'll try to get a job. no more volunteering. sad.
So yeah... this is gonna be the first time I ever write a blog.
I asked a bunch of people what does one usually write in a blog, and they said it's supposed to be a "Public diary". I guees it makes sense, and I'm gonna try to be as personal as I can, so you could enjoy the reading, but not too personal, because I'm a closed person, and I dont let a lot of people in.
Ok, that was an introduction, this wont happen again.
I'll try to make it short and to the point usually. I dont want you to feel bored too much.
College is about to start. on September 2nd. however, the possibility that I'll continue with it is not so great. I have to pass every exam that I had this summer, and I dont know if it'll happen. they have this thing, where they will talk about if the student will continue to study, 2 months after the semester starts. lol that's kinda stupid if you ask me. If they decide you cant go on anymore, then those 2 months were a complete waste of time. anyway, if they decide that I wont be able to continue, I wont finish the semester, and I'll go find a job. I have no plans to study anymore. it's just not for me. and I tried. I guees my plans at this point in my life is to finish the semester, find a job, try to stick with it, and continue with my life. as it seems right now, the plans arent going to change.
That's it for now. I guees with time I'll get more personal, and maybe share some of my secrets. but I dont know, I guees I'll see how the whole profiles thing will go.
This is the second day for us mods to test it, and so far we like it. it's very exciting, and we cant wait to share it with the rest of the UG community. I have no doubt that it will even increase UG's popularity, and many people are going to have a good time coming here, and meeting some good people.
