Twelvemonth 2009 due for Arrival… Some Final Thoughts: Post the Second

It’s that time again –time to realize that human existence is one year closer to its extinction. People from all walks of life gather round, conveying strange commotions to anticipate a countdown sequence similar to that of hide-in-go-seek. Why people celebrate the New Year is something that only the Divine Supercomputer can know. But we all know this –New Year ’s Eve is a time to “start over,” erase previous beliefs, be thankful for what you have, and formulate promises that are to be executed “next year.” Often times, however, people tend to wake up on January 1st only to realize that they’ve created one huge legion of broken promises that was infertile of any significance in the first place. As a result, we are left with meaningless, empty, shallow, and pointless traditional rituals.

I may sound rather pessimistic here, but I’m an idealist who seeks to convey life’s deeper meanings. The main problem is that most mortals fail to apply significance and the power of the metaphor behind the transition to a New Year. Personally, I view the New Year as symbolic. It’s a new period of time where the Divine Supercomputer takes in new global variables, processes them, defrags the series of events it had previously experienced, and takes into account what can happen next. All of this is similar to how a computer chess program makes the best of its intricate data structures, predicting opponent moves before they happen. The New Year is a time when humans consider different sets of parameters, clean up extraneous registries in their operating systems, optimize their databases of knowledge, and enjoy a more healthy and productive life. Or so they think. But what truly hinders someone is their outlook. If they can’t get their mind to think about why they are making a particular promise, then they end up finding little reason to remain committed to it.

For example, one of my promises for the New Year is to stop biting my nails. First, I ask why. Answer: Because I know that biting of the nails is a serious condition. This electronegative act symbolizes nervousness and anxiety which is something I don’t want to convey. I want to appear strong-willed and in command of myself. Biting of the nails simultaneously chews away at my confidence and willingness to remain persistent in my endeavors. In all, removing this terrible function from my system calls will allow me to live a more productive, more fruitful, and happier lifestyle.

Also, the commencement of the next 12-month cycle is a time to reestablish goals and stimulate self-development; however, it’s also a brief period of mental refreshment. Personally, I reset my dispositions and see people for what they are, rather than how I should. I remind myself that this is not only a New Year –it’s also a new game. We are all living in the next big sequel that had been developed in our minds on New Year’s Eve. People should consider the power of the mind and realize their potential. Great discipline and work is a requirement, but anything can be accomplished when oneself directs their mind to it. How badly they want to do something and the courage and determination they can exert, greatly affects the end result.

Now the point of my argument is thus: Take your “New Year’s Resolutions” or whatever you call them seriously. If you break them, you lied to yourself. You may not be consciously aware of it, but you are definitely unconsciously aware of it which leaves an affect that is not desirable. In conclusion to my rant… I hope to end it off with a positive spirit: I wish everyone a happy year in 09. Best of life to all of you. The end.

Best,
~ Keenan

A New Hope: Post the First

IF you recently possessed the willpower to click on a HYPER-link which took you to this blog, THEN I can safely say that you’re a stalker OR you have “stalker tendencies.” (Get my programmer pun?) But no matter your intentions, you are more than welcome to examine my blog anytime you want. My ego just begs for your attention.

But you may wonder, “Why in the Hell would I start a blog?” Why would a worthless soul like me who hasn’t made any impact on his world start one of these silly blogs? Well let’s keep an open mind and remember… I’m still young and I have many years left to live for me to prove my worth. But even if you think I’m not “worthy” of my very own blog, let’s recall the fact that many other people on this planet assume the role of Dungeon Master of their very own blogs too. And what are their blogs often about? Pictures of their kids, family, pets, the wife they will undoubtedly divorce next year, other scrap I don’t give a damn about, and they still post. But still, you probably won’t give a damn about what I post either. Well that doesn’t matter however… but hopefully your neurons will become stimulated with what I have to say.

So what can you expect from this blog? Well, expect anything random to be expressed to the public that comes from Keenan’s head. Typical things include: any adventures I embark, projects that I ponder and abandon the next day, reviews of technology, and of course, whatever else I want to rant about. However, if I told everyone about what goes on in my mind, then I would be considered as someone who doesn’t abide to “default configurations” (conformity). But anyways, I hope to pick up some followers and see what happens. I just really needed a place to rant and go on about stuff since vocalizing my thoughts doesn’t seem to work. The end.

Worshiper of the Divine Supercomputer,
