In today's fast paced society we sometimes forget to slow down and appreciate things happening around us. Regardless of whether we are looking at a computer screen or a cell phone, so many of us today spend the majority of the day connected to the web. I often find myself bored or even lost without a connection to the internet. Not to degrade this amazing tool of instant access to information. The internet is only limited by our own ambition. Yet at the same time, our use of the internet as a whole has degraded our own ambitions. My point is that the majority of the time we aren't using the internet to its full potential. Rather than using it as an amazing tool for learning we are consumed by social networks and video games. Though social networking is undeniably one of the most powerful tools we have today. We even abuse the true purpose of these websites. The problem is PROCRASTINATION, for especially my generation and those younger than me. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Growing up I always loved listening to stories from older relatives. Ranging from how they would hangout and play as children to even how they would go out and party as young adults. Now that I am in my twenties, I have a few tales to tell as well. But none of them seem quite to be like those of older generations. And I find that to be a similar recurrence with most of my generation. I fear that it is because of our use of technology. We don't know how to have proper relationships, being with friends or significant others. We have been built upon a foundation of showing our best online so that everyone will like our pictures and videos and status updates. But we forgot the most important part in a relationship. That in fact is that we are caring to the other, and putting them first. We are desensitized to those around us. And at the same time, to that which is going on around us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So all that I ask is that we take some time, not only to be aware of others and that which happens around us, but for us to be self aware. If we keep ourselves in check from time to time then we would have nothing to worry about. It keeps us realistic and sane. It allows us to appreciate where we are. It lets you say, today I am alive, therefore today is a good day. There is so much to do and see and experience in this world. It is a shame for any one of us to be bored. So open your eyes! No, our eyes are already open.. Let's rephrase that! Lift your gaze from the screens you stare at daily and appreciate that you are alive.</div>

Thank you</div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
</h2>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey everyone, friends and enemies,
Internet goers and browsers, googlers and yahoosers, children, adults, the ladies and the gents, and anyone else who wants to be
included! That is anyone who could possibly have any reason for reading
my first post on my new blog. However, before I get into my first post
and topic, I just wanted to let you know a little bit about myself. I
actually began blogging about a year or two ago, and regretfully I stopped
writing and posting shortly after. I guess something just turned me away
from it... Whether it was procrastination or an over-thought assumption that my
words might somehow affect someone somewhere, thus destroying their lives by
taking my words the wrong way all because I had to make a certain point, I just
all together stopped from all the pressure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was the procrastination... <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I am back again with a new
drive and desire for writing! Why because I may actually be able to make
that difference in the world. Not the psychotic change I was afraid of
causing when I first started. A good change. It may be just one simple
word that can help someone. I realized I couldn't go through life
thinking that something bad could happen while I was expressing myself!
I realized instead I must think something good will happen. Maybe I will
inspire someone, maybe I will get someone to laugh, but the main thing is that
I can write because I enjoy it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyways I'm a 19 (going on 20) year old male college student. I am
currently studying theology at the University of Belgrade in Serbia. As I
said above I love writing. I enjoy playing soccer, and I learned how to
play several musical instruments. Truthfully I can only say I currently
play two of them well, but that can be attributed to a lack of practice in
others. I think laughing is an important part of every one's day and
without it you can't get through life. I am an Orthodox Christian, which
really is the most defining aspect of my life. I will most likely into
things about my religion here and there as time goes by, if anyone ever has a
question about it or maybe something I mention pertaining to my religion please
ask away and I will do my best to get back to you! I enjoy occasionally
playing video games, hanging out, going out, you guys know, the general having
a good time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even though to many older adults I am a kid, there is so much I am
taking in at once and I am learning and growing and maturing. Essentially
it can be incredibly scary, yet thrilling and inviting. This
"stuff" that I am generally filling my head with is getting all mixed
up and I'm trying to connect it left and right to this and that and I'm
figuring out how the actual world works and sometimes I just forget to take a
breath with it all because it is coming so fast you know life is hitting me in
the face and sometimes when you finally make a connection you just need to
pause it all, just like this run on... and think about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So that's me the 21st century hamlet type analyzing and thinking
way too much, as well as speaking too much. Yet although I understand
this about myself I can't tell you why I may over-think things, but I can't let
anyone else tell me either. You see, you can let someone hand you an idea
and it will stay in your head. But you won't understand that idea, it
will be a squiggly line. What you want up there are straight lines, lines
you can follow, things you can understand, but only you can organize them, and
it takes time as well. So what I'm saying is my Hamlet phase is passing
over, and I don't think I have to worry about the full tragic ending where
everyone dies and someone takes my place, I'm figuring stuff out!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The title of my post kind of goes along with the idea I have
already mentioned which is taking ideas from other people. This gift we
have called learning is so incredible and powerful that one of every one's
goals in life should be to learn as much as they can! Yet, issue is
credit. Especially since most of the things stuffed up there in our heads
we don't know where we learned those from anymore we just know certain things.
Yet that doesn't mean it is yours. That is why I say everything I
know came from someone else.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">IN FACT!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The very phrase everything I know came from someone else, came
from a professor of mine. So give credit where credit is due and who
knows you might gain some respect from people time to time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
