Trends

I was watching television, like I do here often, and a show was talking about how everyone goes into new trends. It is a trend to jump into a new trend as fast as possible. I found this funny yet perplexing of why people fall for trends. Now a days people here about a new trends a millisecond thanks to twitter, facebook and other social media items. So my thought process on this was, how the heck did older cultures spreed new trends, or did they even do that.

I know through history, each area had different things going on. For example during the times of Samurai in Japan, warriors had very sophisticated armour and weapons that no other culture had. While in Europe they were just developing proper metal alloys to make a strong steel for weapons. So as one can tell the trend in Japan was at a much different rate then in Europe. Years later isolation in Japan caused there trends to fall greatly behind other nations in the world and their technology looked out.

So as I am typing this, I just realized that trends are part of our evaluation. With out new trends to push towards or to find a better one, we might not be where we are today. If you look at Japan now and how they have developed after opening up to the world again they have become a technology super power. China has been doing the same collecting as much as they can from other cultures to become even more powerful. Its simple amazing.

Now there is the issue of going after the wrong trends. For example here in America we want to jump in the newest fashion trends and spend billions in catching the new trends.Yet we do not spend anything near the amount on fashion trends as we should on scientific trends. From what I see America has begun to isolate its self from the rest of the world in technology and science in exchange for a better looking jacket. If this is what older culture would have done in past we would not be near the place we are today.

Hopefully we walk into a new trend where we follow academics instead of fashion. Making us the stronger trend setter for something much better  then a shoes.

When view through a window looks bad look through another.

In yesterdays post I talked about the amount of stress that I am placing myself in and stretching myself so thin that I am actual feeling a real effect of it. I began to look at everything that I am doing and the hell that I am placing myself into which a very bad situation, one that could place my whole future in a hell. I am seeing that because I am trying to do so many things that I am actually being very shellfish and not doing the right thing. I have so much that is riding on me and yes I need to have fun, but I also need to remember there are other things that should be holding precedence over. Its time to get thing straight and see there is a definitive path in which I must follow to make sure my future at hand, the way it may happen won't be changed because of poor choices on my part. Its time to close one window, and begin to look out another to see a new view, picture, hope for the future.

3 years from now and 3 years ago

So I was watching How I Met Your Mother today and there is one episode that they talk about 3 years from now. The concept was actually pretty interesting and saw myself thinking about 3 years ago. The first thing I could think about was that I was finishing my second to last semester of college. That was the only thing that I could instantly think about 3 years ago. As far as what I believed would happen 3 years from there, I would think I would believe that I would have a girlfriend and in a long time relationship and hopefully starting my career. Well here I am at 3 years and I am not in a relationship at all, I did graduate from college and I have a house. The thing that I did hope for is my career and I am going through those steps. This challenge has been very hard and I am only 5 weeks in and have 3/4 to go but I know I can do it. As for relationships I have been on and off so many time about relationship I am starting to think that I could be partially by polar. I guess if...

Open your eyes in a mirror and a whole new picture appears

So the last couple of days have been very interesting if not been some of the best days. Even they day I thought to have turned out bad really wasn't bad at all. Sometimes it takes a rain storm to clear the dirt covering your vision to open up your eyes to the truth that lies in front of you. It also might help to have people around you, show you things that you would usually over look. There is so much that each person has to them yet that individual might not even know who they are until they do something for them to notice it. Each person has been engineered to be some type of person because the majority says that is the way to be. This engineered view makes people believe that they are not the way they should be. I started to realize this when someone told me I need to have confidence in myself, I NEED to BELIEVE in myself, I am worth more then what a group of people say. This is true for every person, each of us has a quality that is unmatched by another. We have flaws that wh...
