Discussion Board / Backpacks or purses?
« on: December 27, 2015, 05:54:48 pm »
For so long, I used to carry handbags and purses, simply because they looked nice and easy. However, as I got older, multitasking became part of my life. I found it frustrating looking for my keys that was within a small space of unnecessary items which was time consuming. Also, many of these designer purses were not durable. I lost many of them due to wear and tear as well as the harsh weather conditions. And lastly, the annoying pain in my shoulder. Afterwards, I finally said goodbye to the purses and hello to the backpack. Of course, I always keep my backpack close to me and make sure that no one takes off with it. So, what do you prefer to carry your items in?

Discussion Board / Hearing colors?

Ok.....so....am I the only one who appears to have synesthesia?


Synesthesia is when your senses perceive different perceptions. Examples include hearing colors, seeing sounds, and tasting smells. It's kinda weird, but it's not uncommon for people to have synesthesia. I often associate songs with colors. For example, when I hear the song "Uptown Funk" playing, I associate the song with the colors of lime green and purple. Kinda cool, huh?


So, do your senses perceive in a different way as well?

Discussion Board / Strangers....ugh...
« on: April 13, 2014, 06:23:25 pm »
Anyone else feel a little bit uneasy when some strange person comes up to you and wants to start a conversation? Well, I sure do!


Lately, when I go to some places to do my errands (e.g. groceries) I can't even walk outside without some dude walking up to me and asking me random questions. Of course, I just ignore them and keep on walking. Yes, I am careful and I follow every precaution to stay safe and I always carry my phone with me in case of an emergency. With all the kidnappings going around, I always tend to keep to myself and only respond to people that I know.


Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not that socially awkward, just, cautious. I often feel uneasy when some strange man just keeps on staring at me, like some statue. It's like, they're staring right into your soul and not saying anything. At other times, they try to talk about how pretty I dress, and I get the feeling that they want me to well...you know....and that's a reason why I don't like wearing sleeveless shirts, bathing suits or shorts out in public!


And for the most scary part of all (for me that is)....when some random person drives up to you while you're walking and asks if you need a ride. My answer? Nope! I'm no Little Red Riding Hood! I don't care if it taking a car will get me to my destination faster, I'm not going jump into some car with a stranger! I know that not all people are bad, but you just don't know who they really are nowadays. And you can't just assume that they are friendly just by looking at them. You're gonna need to seek out a background check to figure out someone you don't know!


Anyways, do any of you guys feel this way?

What do you think is the best music to annoy/troll someone?


Ok. Lets say, for example, you get tired of your neighbors playing that loud obnoxious rap music nonstop. And you have had enough! Time for revenge! What music would you pump up loud just to annoy/troll them? Well, here's mine:


1. Download this theme

Pokemon bike theme 10 hours



2. Attach speakers to computer

3. Turn up volume really loud

4. Play music

5. Leave home for work

*trollface*

Game Suggestions & Ideas / Time Synch Option
« on: October 11, 2011, 05:29:43 pm »
Ok, I was wondering....


...if maybe there could be a time synch option? Like, based on your commuter's clock, it can be either day, night, afternoon, e.t.c. Like for example, if it's 9:00 P.M., on the game, it would stay dark until it's like 10:00 A.M. on your comp and on the game, it's daytime.


What do you think?

Discussion Board / September 11th: Ten Years Later
« on: September 09, 2011, 12:27:28 am »
Ok, this is basically gonna be my view on the 9/11 attacks and how emotionally drought I felt after witnessing people dying on live TV. It was something that would haunt me forever...for the rest of the my life.


Story:


So, this happened back when I was in middle school, either in sixth or seventh grade at the time. I woke up this morning, thinking it was going to be a an average day. So I arrived at my school at around 6:45 A.M. My first class didn't start til about 7:10. I went to class and did all my work and such. The bell was about to dismiss us to our second class when we heard the announcer in the classroom:


"Attention students...a tragedy has just occurred in the state of New York at approximately 8:46 A.M. Please turn on the news station for more information..."

The bell dismissed us to go to our second class, and we almost never left our second period class for the entire day. I went in my second class and saw it all unfold on the TV. I saw the building, engulfed in flames. I was thinking to myself, "Something went wrong! This is terrible!" And then, I had an uneasy feeling about the second tower. I was hoping that the second tower was not going to end up like the first one. But at around 9:03 A.M., I witnessed in horror, seeing the plane hit that tower as well.

The classroom was quiet. The teacher was shocked. Everyone was frozen as we heard screaming and crying on the television. I then knew, that this was planned. I literally started to cry as the screaming and shouting got to my heart. And what really haunted me is when the camera zoomed on people jumping out of the buildings. After seeing that, I didn't want eat anything. The teachers decided to not give us any work at all that day. Most of them got emergency calls that kept them from continuing work. Then, the announcer told all the students to report to the gym.

We did go to the gym. They gave us lunch there, but the sight of seeing those innocent people getting killed on national television still kept me from eating. I just wanted go home. And surely enough, parents started coming in taking their children home because they got off early due to the tragedy as well. I saw my mom coming to pick me up. And I said, "Mom! The towers! They...they collapsed! Those innocent people!" And then my mom replied, "They attacked the pentagon and another plane is gonna hit the White House!"

I was shocked. More innocent people, being killed as we speak. I really wanted to go home now. I didn't want to be at school crying. The news of the attacks were all over T.V., internet, and the radio. All we heard was the news crew discussing of the live events that was happening. Finally I reached home and mom turned on the T.V. Live coverage of the attacks were still on the air. Then suddenly:

"The first tower is collapsing! Get out of there, NOW!"

I looked on T.V. and saw it happen. I was really upset. I went to my room and tried to pretend that this did not happen at all, not at all today. But it did, and it still haunted me.


Now, it's been ten years, and the images of witnessing the event still lingers inside my mind. Whenever I go to school, I think that anything like that could happen to me. I could be the unfortunate being ending up injured, disabled, or dead. I have become a bit more cautious ever since.



As the tenth anniversary of the tragedy nears by, I pay tribute to those who lost their lives. I also pay tribute to our firefighters, our real heroes, who sacrifice their lives everyday to ensure the safety of our people.


May you rest in peace. And may God be with you.
