It's been some time, also check out that sweet tag, now you know to avoid this post because it's another blog post from tetris~!
I've been thinking of what purpose this blog serves and lately I feel that I came to some idea as to why I use it. One thing is that it's nice to write about yourself once in awhile, because it gives you a motivational boost to, y'know, appreciate yourself. To be honest (even though I deny it to myself on countless occasions), the whole purpose of this blog really is to have people reading it. That means that all comments and criticisms are entitled to their opinions and I have to deal with what anyone says (and I appreciate all who read and comment on my useless ~yada yada).
So really, getting positive comments and what not really did give an ego boost now that I think about it. Was that the purpose as to why I wrote? Maybe, but definitely now is also the reason why I haven't written for some time.
As with all parts of my life, I came to some sort of understanding with myself. Sure, I like to do a lot of things, but having recognition from others ISN'T what I should base those things around. I feel that the want to do something needs to come entirely from within me, simple as that.
And to be honest, I've never been happier than I am now once I started to phase those emotional pillars of people out of my life. The only recognition I needed was from myself, for accepting myself for who I am and doing things to change what that was.
So if this doesn't make any sense (which it usually doesn't), the bottom line is that you (oh spoon, it's that word again, he's talking and telling ME what to think >:/) is that announcing that you suck at so and so, saying that you can't do something because no one appreciates it or saying that others are better than you are _not_ the type of excuses or statements you want to have saying if you want to lead a normal and happy life.
Personally, I accept that I suck, I accept that this post is attention-whoring (as much as I don't want it to be), I also accept that there are (many) others better than me.
That's not a problem, I like myself, there's no need to have people tell me/support that.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's why I don't see the point to this blog, but I'll try from now on to post things that aren't so self-centered. Thanks for being here EP.
In other news, that feel when you accomplish something and it pales in comparison to other works. Feels really nooby man.
Also, took me 40 minutes to understand why some javascript that I wrote wasn't working was because that I included it in the head tag, which means it's loaded and ran before the html <body> is even processed. Was tearing my hair out until I figured to use the google developer tools in chrome. Forever I will be a noob, ugh. If you are emotionally asspained to have your javascript at the top of the document, you CAN use window.onload (function code) so that your function or whatever is ran after the window object loads. Neat eh?
I still draw too, but that's something else for another day (years) to come before I start talking about it.

I also really like blabbering about stuff, the easiest is about personal experiences WHICH I WILL AVOID FROM HERE ON OUT
