About Me

I'm a kid who thinks too much about too many random topics. I've only recently stumbled upon tedtalks on Netflix and I've enjoyed it ever since. I figure if there is a place to throw out ideas, or play with other people's ideas, it would be on the forums here. While my brain is often full of interesting ideas, articulation is something of an issue for me at times. I'll often revise my posts several times after releasing them. I guess I picked that habit up from the video game companies I waste my money on **eyeing blizzard entertainment**

    A comment on Conversation: What should I really do with my youth? I'm 18, and I want to really learn. Advice from any adults out there?

    May 22 2012: If you want to live your life learning, I'd suggest first learning how you learn. Yeah, that sentence sounds kind of overly sensei, but in all honesty, I found that the psychology of learning class I took at CC inspired me greatly, and made me feel passionate about all sorts of things. When you learn how your brain categorizes and sifts through information, you can learn to turn off some blinders you may never of known you had and see a fuller picture in all things. But certainly explore and learn from traveling, nothing beats first hand experience, although theories and models help clarify I find.
