Hunger Mind Map

A Hunger Parody

My guitar... I have to find my guitar.... I just don't know where I left it. That guitar.... I need it to live. How will I produce the musical wonders that I write to survive! The people of Boston will feel so deprived. How can they live without me, supplying them with their daily fix of Grunge, which I learnt to enjoy while living in Seattle. Also, how would I be able to make money...? How would I.....? I just don't know.... my diabetes. The insulin I need to survive..... its been 2 days, and I can feel my brain running slowly. I need money, to give to the people at the shelter, that give me a place to sleep, while I work to spread the power of my music. That producer that stopped me the other day, he offered me a deal. Told me to cut down on the violent lyrics. I'd rather die. I can't believe that he would so viciously attack me. I guess I'm just going to have to struggle through, find a producer that understands the music. But stilll... I have to find my guitar...

Gaming, harmful?

This article, why not going in too far indepth into the topic about gaming being harmful to people, strikes close to home. As long time readers of this blog will know, I'm a proud gamer, and while gaming does hurt my social life, I'm happy to accept it, and  know that its my own fault, not the games fault, that I spent too much time playing them. This applies to all sorts of technology. If you do some data mining, you will find that the people that spend the most time on Facebook are housewifes. These are people that have time to spare, and therefore spend time accessing the internet. They get distracted by the technology, but the tech isn't distracting them, understand what I mean?

 He compares blogs to Twitter. I don't mean to sound nasty, but I don't believe he understands what the difference between the two is. Twitter isn't made for creative writing. Twitter isn't even made for writing. Its made for sharing quick notes with one another. For example, articles one should read, or quick competitions. Blogging is completly different. Although still made to express feelings, blogging is made so that one can develop ideas, and is where one should. Why would you want to share deep feelings with people through Twitter? A website that gives users the ability to share short and sweet posts? It just seems stupid to even try to write something length in Twitter. Again, in a call back to my previous post, its like comparing oranges and apples. You just can't do it.

By believeing that it has no affect on me, I free myself from the affects that it has on me

This article talks about the attacks the existentialism has upon it. It talks about how people will attack the existentialist believers about how all it does is drop them into a pit of despair. I completly disagree with this attack on existentialism, as the whole idea is to free yourself. How can you free yourself if you become saddled with grief after trying to free yourself. Thats why I like the existentialist belief system. The basic beleif is that you free yourself by accepting that none of your actions have any repurcusions. While this can be interpreted as a serial killer thinking that its alright to murder people, it isn't intended that way. It is intended as a way to free oneself from the constraints of mortal life. For example, I am really scared of talking to new people. I'm constantly afraid that I'm going to say something that will either a) make them think I'm weird or b) upset them. If I followed the beliefs of existentialism, I would be unafraid of these things, and talk to them no matter what. Therefore freeing myself from the worries of social life. The same thing would happen if I was to express myself artisticly or musically, not worrying about what people think of the media that I produce. Therefore, the artistic minds of the world are bettered by existentialist beliefs. Where would the art industry be if people were scared to try new things? We would have had no innovations like experimentalism or serialism, both two movements that influenced all sorts of music that we all take for granted now, such as dance, house or even (shudder) drum and bass. While the orginial two were around before existentialism, the basic belief that you should try something without thinknig about how it affects you applies here. I believe that I am going to have to start following the belief, I would find it a lot easier to intergrate myself into my new schools society, and maybe get to know more people than the 6 or 7 that I know right now.  All in all, I believe that when existentialism is followed at the bare bone beliefs, it works perfectly, and that by following the belief that no repercurssion will affect you, a lot more social, artistic and scientific development will affect the human race.
