Listen to these songs when you read this.

I used to be on the exact same page as you, whether you believe it or not. I did not like attention; I did not want attention; and frankly I was very shy and had confidence issues. There are things in this life that we will never understand until we experience them.

You seriously have a very imaginative and explosive head; meaning, that you think a lot and know how to analyze things very well. Analyze this:

There is a man who has a problem with a job. He doesn't know how to quit his job because his wife will kill him and the boss is tearing him apart at work. He works 14 hr shifts and gets paid 20$ an hour. From his view, he is confused but slowly getting torn apart mentally and physically. He can't change his hours; he can't sleep and his wife is relying on him. What should he do?

Now, the story makes no sense cause I wrote it 5 seconds ago but check this out.
The man is going to be considered the football player.
The readers are considered the football coach.

The game is completely different from both of these perspectives. They hardly compare. The football player is running, jumping, tackling, and possibly throwing the ball while trying to stay on his feet.

The coach sees two opposing players coming to tackle the QB easily from the QB's left flank. The QB doesn't see these guys. The QB gets tackled while the coach yells.

The coach sees more than the QB because he doesn't have an objective but to yell plays. (Basically he doesn't do anything)

Look at your situation Anubis from your view. Write down all of the problems you may be having. Here is a quote that I recommend for you.

"Even though it is impossible to become perfect nothing gives you a sufficient reason for you to stop trying to become perfect." -Unknown

We are to strive to become perfect, bud. That is our ultimate goal. To be open-minded, great and public speaking, and basically great at anything and everything we decide to do.

"Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare." -Dale Carnegie

Once you write down your problems, look at it from the coaches view. The coach can see everything and recommend things that the QB would have never guessed. In your situation you are the QB. Look at the problem from a wider view man and have a positive outlook. You will prevail if you do.

Life is about chances man. Dale Carnegie was the greatest motivational speaker in history. Take a chance. If you make a fool of yourself, look at it from a positive view. There are NO problems in this world until you identify them as a problem in your head. God never had problems. He made things the way he wanted them and Jesus Christ worked around his problems and followed his dream. What are some of your dreams? Ignore the speed bumps cause we all have them those who get stuck behind them are weak. Jump over them, hit the ground running, and decide what is truly important: a simple no from a girl you misunderstood or a lifetime of possibilities that all relate back to what goals you have in life?
Mark my words Anubis.

All problems can be fixed. The problems are fixed on how you look at the situation. I would like to help you solve your mental game if you AIM me. Don't worry. My brother once told me, "Shut up and grow some balls, people are not trying to come after you. The smart ones are trying to be successful in life and they don't give a shit about the guy who is in the ditch. The people who are successful are the ones who have a positive and ambitious mindset to conquering their goals."

My brother said that to me, now do you understand how my mentality used to be?
Start early with the perfect mindset. The early bird catches the worm, bud.

"Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny." -Lao-Tze

Everything relates back to how you view situations. Your thoughts.

Does anybody know why I constantly keep posting, "I Love Life" in the Love thread?

There is so much to love and so many keep looking at the downsides. Keep a positive, loving attitude about EVERYTHING, even if the world gets struck by a meteor bigger than Jupiter. Love everything. It is fine to be scared, but genuinely love everything.

[Rocky]

O.O
Doorm4n's amazing

[Dragonfire]

DoorM4n types too much, could we give him a character reply limit...?

[DoorM4n]

I loathe people who base information off a source that is two years old.

I also loathe people who call others immature. I can understand that some people may say "grow-up" but I really just want to remove the word immature from the English language; it has such a negative connotation.

What qualifies somebody to be immature? Surely others have more experience than others but that would mean they are naive. Immature is like saying that people are in a state of confusion and don't know what they want, eh?
What are your thoughts guys?

There is no way for me to type my true feelings on this.

[neodos]

Well you can call anyone immature for different reasons, but a person can be immature in one point and be really mature for something else, so yeah it doesn't really makes much sense, we all make mistakes.

[Dragonfire]

I usually only call ppl immature if they r doing something very stupid/childish or just being a complete moron.

[DoorM4n]

I have been so stressed out this entire day.

How do you guys recommend that I don't worry about the future?

The only thing keeping me going is the fact my girlfriend is going to be in town Monday, though she leaves for the Fall term on Saturday.

I need to learn to Live Now and enjoy now and not live nor worry about the future. Does anybody have advice?

[Aumaan Anubis]

Pick a song that means something to you, that maybe you don't listen to a lot, but it's still really special, and just listen to it. Sit back, just listen to it.

Then calm down, and tackle what life dishes to you one by one.

Something that I've thought about but not actually tried is just sprinting. Walk outside, stretch a bit, and then convert all the stress and anxiety into a full blown sprint. Just run as far and as fast as you can 'till you nearly collapse.

Other than that, it's difficult for me to give advice without knowing what someone is going through, or really knowing them in person XD
Anyway, good luck!

Just focus on what's got you to this point in your life.
Bravery? Strength? Courage? Memories? Intellect? Perseverence?

Whatever it is, draw from it and keep going.

[Remnant Samurai]

Get an anger pillow?? maybe

[DoorM4n]

Aumaan Anubis, that is some damn excellent advice. I feel much better hearing your advice. All advice is like a symphony in my ear if it is legitimate; and you just baked the cake Aumaan Anubis. I will try all of those.

Most understand that when people give them advice the adviser doesn't know much about the person. I find that if I just keep throwing out examples and not worry about their exact situation I can get a point across better. So, hopefully in my long bits above I haven't done anything to unchain you through what I consider a "harsh assumption of my thoughts" that may or may not have precisely describe your situation. (I am not even sure if that made sense. Hopefully you understand what I am saying)

Your advice is, again, very, very good. Thank you.

To Change the Subject

Immature
1. not mature, ripe, developed, perfected, etc.
2. emotionally undeveloped; juvenile; childish.

Now can somebody explain what emotionally undeveloped means?

[Dragonfire]

Well lets take the simple step and divide up the parts...

Emotionally - Usually meaning something about feelings, like sorrow, happiness, etc.

Undeveloped - Not ready, beta, still in production, etc.

Sp maybe we can say being emotionally undeveloped is like when you're feelings arent ready? still discovering new feelings? heartless (thats a harsh one)?

[DoorM4n]

Ok, well that hardly makes sense to me still.

Emotionally undeveloped meaning decipher true feelings? (Which makes sense because sometimes girls love a couple of guys all at once and date them all) UGH this doesn't make sense to me.

I seriously want to have a huge group chat about this on AIM this is bugging the life out of me. If anybody is up it AIM tonight or post here saying so. It will be a friendly, openminded conversation about this if you willing.

[Dragonfire]

I think uve AIMed me already tonight, lol

[XZodia]

worry about the future. Does anybody have advice?

Know that worrying is like trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.

[DoorM4n]

Most definitely. At one point in the past I edited that one sound clip in that song and had it on loop so I can be told that over and over. It is so hard not to worry about how my life will end up, whether or not my life goals will be accomplished or if I will still have certain elements in my life that I have now.

Then I had a fortune cookie last night and it said:

"The most beautiful adventures are the ones that we don't wish to happen." (or something very similar to that)

[Aumaan Anubis]

Dude 1: "My uncle just died."
Dude 2: "kk."

^^ Emotionally undeveloped.

To be emotionally undeveloped, in my opinion, is to fail to realize how events affect someone emotionally(obviously). To be so involved in oneself that only events that directly affect you are the ones to which you react. To react differently to drastic situations other than what society believes/says you can act.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing, either, in some cases.

For instance, if your mother died, and you decided to stay positive, and to just be ecstaticbecause you understand that she is now allowed permissin in heaven, and gets to life a new everlasting life a whole lot better than this one, society would be utterly confused. The common reaction to such an event would be depression. Society, if they didn't understand you, would mark you as either mentally insane, or, "emotionally undeveloped," when truly you've just achieved a higher understanding.

I guess what I may be trying to say is that, the definition of "emotionally undeveloped" is whatever you feel it should be.

[xxpenguinxx]

Can't get models to stop shade glitching, so annoying.

[JacksonCougar]

nor will you with entity, because it does this thing called "scrambling" to what I like to call this thing "Model Raw"...

[OwnZ joO]

Being immature is not knowing when you need to act mature.

Also, glad to know you have felt unsure doorman, not that I want you to feel bad or anything. I was just getting tired of all of this be happy all the time and positive, because even when you try sometimes you can't. The low times are what make the high times feel so good, so you need to come back down to earth every once in a while or you won't appreciate it. Glad you've gotten past it though, I guess I was just trying to say it's good to know you're human.

[DoorM4n]

hahaha; you know, I was actually thinking that same thing when I was typing that. It came to mind that I always act happy, for a positive outlook on life and intentionally not to get down in the dumps, and this is probably one of the few times that I post some downsides to me situation. I try to make the best of situations and so that is usually why I am cheerful. If I were to explain my situation in life you may, well look at me completely differently. For that reason, I have picked up a new productive outlook at life and started counting my blessings. Things are working pretty damn well since I started with that. I still have the same issues but I will probably never speak of them in a public forum; I would only tell people about them in a private conversation.

I'm glad you noticed, though. It is interesting to know that people notice things like that, of course it isn't meant in an adverse manner.

[DoorM4n]

I hate roaches.

[Remnant Samurai]

Well lets take the simple step and divide up the parts...

Undeveloped - Not ready, beta, still in production, etc.

Sorry to drag it on but an experience that i have noticed at my school is pretty much like this which i would call emotionally undeveloped.

Guy One "my grandparents died the other day
Guy Two "did they leave anything good"

That is just sad to be honest felt like slapping that guy

[DoorM4n]

Ooh that reminds me.

When Steve Erwin died a while back I was feeling really down and I had explained how he was such a great guy for what he was did and this kid was like, "Man I don't care about his death; who cares; he wasn't taht great."

I blew a fuse and almost started yelling in class because of his tactless remarks.

[Grimdoomer]

What are your thoughts guys?

There is no way for me to type my true feelings on this.

Also, what qualifies someone as mature, is it because they are older? or because they are farther in life then others? I don't care whether someone classifies me as mature or immature, I am who I am and thats all that matters to me.

I have been so stressed out this entire day.

How do you guys recommend that I don't worry about the future?

The only thing keeping me going is the fact my girlfriend is going to be in town Monday, though she leaves for the Fall term on Saturday.

Try to think about one day at a time. When I get stressed I often try to do things I enjoy that center my focus, but I often find it difficult to enjoy those things because the stress wrecks my concentration. The only thing I can do to get passed that is listen to music I like, talk to some friends on AIM, and watch a movie.

nor will you with entity, because it does this thing called "scrambling" to what I like to call this thing "Model Raw"...

A simple summary of Entity in C#

Code: Select all

public void Initialize(Map map, int MapNumber)
{
     Map.Maps[MapNumber].FuckShitUp();
}

[OwnZ joO]

Yeah I really don't know why they did the whole static Maps list instead of having each MapForm have its own map. They did some goofy stuff, although they got a lot of it functioning decently too.
