ARROW - Season 2 Talk

Last night, well actually it was early this morning I finished watching the season two finale of Arrow. I'm a little behind, I know. It aired months ago but when I got to episode seventeen I stopped watching. I found I couldn't get myself through a whole episode anymore, I thought it was getting boring but I was wrong. In the hiatus from March to September of every television show ever, I was desperate so I sat and I watched the rest of the episode and again I was hooked.
The last three episodes of season two were the most exciting of the whole series. Everyone slips into roles that feel so natural to the characters. Oliver is following his no killing morals, Felicity is being a badass and Sara is back with the assassins.
The few really big secret reveals keep it upbeat and you sitting on the edge of your seat wondering who is going to do what with the information. There is fear for all the characters after watching some of the main characters die.
Oliver finally comes up with a plan to beat Slade, a plan that is actually good and of course has a few twists along the way to make sure  the viewers think they know what's happening but they don't. This is really exciting television and a well executed show that has good characters and interesting, edge of your seat plots, something rarely seen in todays obsession with sappy romances.

Does Anyone Read This?

I haven't been doing this for long but I have never had someone comment on a post. Now I sound like a complainy bitch but I'm just wondering if anyone actually reads this.

Playing Songs I Don't Know

This is an idea that I have had for a really long time. When I was about 13 I tried playing a song I didn't know from a set of chords I found on the internet. I had never heard this song and had no idea how it went, so I made something up. When I went and listened to the artist version later I realised how different it my version was. It intrigued me that the same chords and lyrics could be interpreted so differently.
I had this idea that I could do the exact same thing but video it, first time playing it with all the mistakes and awkward scrolling and pitchy singing because I don't know what chords I'm playing next; and with the stumbling of words.
I then asked myself who would want to watch that? The answer is I would, and if I do, someone else, somewhere does too.

FEAR AND ANXIETY

After school today I was driving to the shops when I saw a young looking man walking in the rain on the side of the road. He was wearing what looked to be a local schools leavers jacket. The road I was driving on is a quiet street with mainly bush either side. I wondered where he was going? Why was he walking in the rain?
My first thought was to stop and ask if he needed a lift. My next thought after that was, no what if he steals something from me? How sad is that? He looked like a nice young man who had to walk home but my first instinct was to not help and I don't know what that says about me but I am scared. I'm always terrified that something bad is going to happen. I have thought about these fears, I always think about these fears; that anxiety. I wonder a lot what a life would be like without it, just being able to trust people and do anything.

Not An Interesting Post, Sorry

Yesterday I posted about procrastination, the whole post was meant to be sarcastic and humorous but today I don't think its quite as funny. Procrastination and just not doing assignments is ruining me. I have an assignment, a whole assignment, to do before midnight tonight. I am failing that class and because of some inability to do school work it doesn't look like I'm improving those grades.

I want to post something interesting everyday. Something that is actually worth reading but not today. Today, right now, I am going to finish this damn assignment.

My Very Un-useful Pointless Tips On Avoiding Procrastination

This year I have taken procrastination to a new level, I don't just avoid doing homework and assignments anymore I don't even do them at all. I have started to procrastinate so much that I am just not doing them.
so today I am going to present you with the steps of procrastination and some points to avoid procrastinating, even though they NEVER work!

The Steps Of Procrastination

• The internet: this includes social media (mainly tumblr) however it has progressed mainly into finding a television series with more than one season and trying to watch every episode the last night I have left to do an assignment. 
• Food: everyone does this but food is a great way to procrastinate because it takes so long to cook and if it doesn't its not really filling. 
• Cleaning unnecessarily: this is the point in the procrastination that you know you are getting desperate. No one has posted anything new on Instagram for 2 hours and you've eaten enough food to feed an african family for a week but you still just can't do your assignment, so you start cleaning you room and doing the dishes. 
• Exercise: you have no other options now, the house is spotless and you couldn't stand to watch another movie. so you decide to go for a run because "OMG I ate all that food"even though you haven't done exercise since last time you were procrastinating you decide now is the time to be really fit.
• The last straw: it's 12 am - 1am and you have given up on everything so you start you're assignment but you cant finish it because the last step of procrastination sets in; sleep. 

My Very Un-useful Pointless Tips On Avoiding Procrastination 

• Turn the internet of at the modem, it wont harm you. Oh, you need the internet for your assignment? Do it on your parents computer, the funnest thing you'll find on there is paint, and also they can check the history really easily. 
• Eat a good healthy meal of lunch or dinner before you even try to start. Put some snacks on your desk and a bottle of water. 
• Either go outside to do your assignment or confine yourself to a tidy space just not your own room, if you're in your own room you'll get distracted. 
• Now is not the time to exercise, you haven't been on a run in a month doing it now is not necessary but if you really need to go constrict yourself to doing half your assignment before you go for a run as a break. 
• You will now get a fantastic sleep because your assignment will already be done!

NOTE: this can all be avoided by not being a lazy shit and actually doing your assignment before the night before but well, thats never going to happen.

MH17 I'm Scared

I'm scared in the safest country in the world

the politicians want to get to the bottom of it 

the people want peace 

Everyone wants to point fingers

no one want it to be a mistake 

it's like they want people to die 

at a war they create

I'm scared in the safest country in the world

people constantly repeat stupid mistakes 

people don't remember last time

I live in the 'safest' country in the world 

don't envy me not one bit 

because our leader is a loser 

its not all his fault I admit 

I'm scared in the safest country in the world

they call it a democracy but I have no choice 

they decide if we go to war

The plane went down 2 in 4 months 

the whole world watching  

not because they care about Malaysia 

but because they are waiting 

It's like us humans don't want to think 

the enemies are people 

but they are and that will not change 

we'll keep making the same stupid mistakes 

I'm scared in the safest country in the world 

because people who have my life in their hands 

dont want to see peace

P.S. Just a few thoughts from what is happening in the world at the moment. I will be honest and tell you I don't watch the news and some decisions may have changed but the day I wrote this it felt rather accurate and it was nice to put how I felt on paper.
