First, let me start off by saying that I definitely do not agree to quitting things. I find the whole concept of quitting is just... overwhelming. I can't understand why people would start something, put their time into it, and then quit it as if it passed on the wind. This is just my point of view, and I'm not pressing it on anybody, so all you trolls who just look for places to troll people (for I'm sure that's what you do), back the (this word was censured for young audiences; take a guess at what it might be) up. Thank you. (:

Okay, now, on the matter of quitting, I'm sure many people will tell you not to quit things. As I stated up above, I agree with them when they say that you shouldn't. However, is quitting always bad? This question could go either way, if you ask a variety of people. There's, say quitting a sport only because it's hard. Well, that's not a reason quit it, just because it's hard. Hell, if I had a dime for every single thing I did that was hard, I'd be richer than Bill Gates! I don't just go and quit all those things, because, to be honest, though you may hear me complaining about the hard things later on this line of blogs, I am appreciative of the level of difficulty of the things that I do. It keeps the brain active... or, something. Can't remember what they all tell me... Shut up!

However, then there's the side of addictions, which you might hear me talk about in later blogs as well. The addiction side of the story is, say, let's take smoking. Is smoking good? In my opinion, no. It kills your lungs, makes you cough really loud, and you have to talk through a hole in your neck with a special microphone thing. Anyway, I definitely think smoking is bad. So what happens if somebody becomes addicted to it. Normally, you'd tell them to "quit" wouldn't you? And is this a bad thing to do? Is quitting smoking bad? I would definitely say no, in this case, quitting is the best thing for you to do. Although, the best thing that said person could have done is not have smoked in the first place, but that's a whole other story.

This is where you might find yourself in a hole when you try to talk about quitting. Sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's bad. You can't make things simpler by saying, "Oh, well, all quitting is bad" or "all quitting is good" because, in my opinion, there are specific cases that deserve specific measures.

With this, I shall leave you to ponder over this problem of quitting. Hopefully, you figure something out that you didn't know before on this quest to find the truth. God, don't you love those corny speeches where somebody goes, "Remember, life is about finding the truth"? I know I sure do. Goodbye, my dear readers, and maybe by the time I write my next addition to this blog, you will be able to think about the problem discussed in this section.

Thank you and goodnight.

Are you a procrastinator? Do you know any procrastinators? If so, Join the Club! I hear this is a very non-productive site, but still... it's always fun to waste time in fun ways.

Now, I want to start this blog off by saying I do not hate procrastinator. You see, the truth is... I'm also a procrastinator. I know, it could explain a few things, such as why I haven't added to my blog in a few days. I tried to, I swear! But something else caught my attention like a fly in the corner of my room. I actually have a calender made specifically for procrastinators. Sad, yes, but fun, definitely.

According to thefreedictionary.com, procrastination means putting off or delaying an action to a later time. Some say that the perfectionists often suffer from this plague. Hmm, are you getting to know me any better? I'm just putting that out there. Although, here is where we run into problems. How can you be a perfectionist, when your procrastination doesn't let you get anything done? Procrastinators often can't even do something in a mediocre fashion, let alone perfect that said thing.

This can be annoying to the most patient person. I could be sitting at my desk trying to write a history essay the desk itself starts to distract me! By the time I try to get back to writing the paper, my mind is too busy thinking about that desk. Who knew metal desks could be so intriguing? When I finally do get around to writing the paper, I tried to cram it since I ran out of time. This leads to a horrible essay that comes back to me with a bunch of red squiggly lines and markings on it from the teacher. I think we can all agree that's far from "perfection". I think that no matter how much of a perfectionist you are, procrastination will always stump you.

You know, I'm 99.99% sure that if you looked into it, most of the kids failing in school are procrastinators. Now, I'm not trying to drive people away from the site posted above. I think it's great that people have so much time on their hands that they can afford to waste time on that site. After all, that is what the site is about, there's no denying it. They say so themselves. However, I have this opinion that wasting time isn't good, because it's valuable time you could be spending elsewhere... like in front of the TV, or you could spending it writing a blog. I mean, those are two very important things that kids should focus on.

Thank you and good afternoon. Oh, and just one more thing before I go. I'm sure that everyone who has read this is a procrastinator like myself. There's no denying there are more productive things that could be getting done. And the plague continues.

Have you ever woken up to an alarm clock? You know, that really annoying, obnoxious, loud thing that goes off at the head of your bed every morning. That thing. I know, you're all probably reminiscing over when you got up this morning. However, what if I told you that the alarm wasn't half as bad as something else. Call me a liar, but I actually do know of one thing that is worse. Some of you probably know what I'm talking about. Yes, I'm talking about the mom. Waking up to your mom... there's just something about it.

I mean, let's think about this now. Say your alarm goes off, but you don't want to get up. There's always that button on it that was sent from heaven. The snooze button. Hit that, and the alarm shuts up. Unfortunately, there is no snooze button on your mother, and you can't hit her with anything, or even pick her up and throw her against your wall. No, because that would be silly and life-threatening for you. If your mother's anything like my mom, she'll just keep coming back. It's like she has nothing better to do at the time than call your name over and over and over and over again. She never stops, unless of course you get out of bed. Then she'll complain about you taking forever to get out of bed. At least the alarm can be shut off.

Don't forget the fact that parents never forget anything. She'll remember for days that you didn't get out of bed the first fifteen times she called you. Then, three days later, she'll walk into your room as you're reading or on your computer and tell you, "You should go to bed soon, so you can get up more easily than you did a few days ago." You'll be left sitting in your room thinking to yourself, Did she seriously just tell me that I had a hard time getting out of bed on a Saturday?

But of course, you can't complain about how annoying she is, because it will only anger her more. Then she'll ask why you're so cranky, and if you tell her the truth, she'll get even angrier. That's the way it is with parents. It's hard to tell if they're asking real questions or rhetorical questions that they know the answer to. Suddenly, the entire mood of the house is like stepping into hell, all over you not getting out of bed easily at 8:3o in the morning on a Saturday, even though it's now Wednesday.

I hope you now think twice about complaining about your alarm. The poor machine may be annoying for about five seconds before you hit "snooze", but just think about how this obnoxious machine is doing you a favor. So the next time you go to demolish your alarm clock with a hammer, think of the alternative and make the decision.

Declan.(:
