Considering that I haven't posted on this in around a month and a half, i feel the need to both update it, and continue doing so so that all who wish to read my views on anything and everything may do so. If you are looking for an explanation for the lack of updates, the clearest and most definitive answer I can give is that the last month and a half has been hectic beyond belief. But enough of the past. I shall now discuss.
I feel the necessity to share my views of desks. Desks are an arbitrary hindrance in the daily workings of teens, both at school, home, and perhaps work. I like the concept in theory, and when applied to those above the age of 25. I begin with desks at school. They are both uncomfortable and do horrible things to the posture of growing and developing children. Essentially they are three slabs of a solid material, such as stone, plastic, or concrete, connected by metal rods. Having to sit in those for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 9 months a year, for the past 10 years has prompted me to do two things, slouch, relax and try to find neck support, doing wonders for my cervical spine, and realize that only if you have impeccable posture, with absolutely no flaws at all, one can sit in these comfortably. Desks at home, however I have come to dislike for other reasons, as one can get a chair that contours to their personal preferences when it comes to posture. I dislike these because they act only as a place to put your computer and as a collector for the inevitable clutter and "perma-crud" that follow teens wherever they go. I, a proclaimed computer nerd/junkie, recently moved my room into what used to be my mothers office, and have been living in it for the past two and a half months, and i have yet to move my desk into here because I have done something taken from the culture of the Middle East. In the aforementioned region, there is little wood, so the building of tables (desks) and chairs are rare. The compensate by having lots of pillows and putting everything on the floor. I have done this with my computer, i have my monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse, and computer itself all on the floor, I have two pillows so that I may both sit up and recline while using my computer. This takes me into my second point, as without a desk, the clutter that i generate is all in one, easy to clean location. My floor. I cannot argue against teens using desks at work, as I myself have never used one, nor have I had a job, and I have never encountered a teenager with a desk job.
I now feel obligated to share my favorite mediums for finding music. The first being the radio, one can simply turn it on, find a channel that plays music that they like, sit back, and enjoy the tunes. The second being friends, friends are an invaluable resource in many ways, intellectually, monetarily, musically, the point being that if your friends recommend it, you may probably enjoy it also. My third being Traction (downloaded at http://www.tractionradio.com), an internet radio that is meant solely for gamers, however, I have shown it to friends that do not fall into the class of gamers. I do not group this under radio, as it is a completely different interface and its mode of operation uses a stream of 1s and 0s rather than variations in the amplitude or frequency of radio waves.
I have gone back to wasting large amounts of time on the internets. I have become literate in lolspeak by spending probably too much time at icanhascheezburger. I have realized the potential of the internet as a medium for comics by reading every single Cyanide and Happiness. I have fallen to the lures of watching movies online, shopping online, and possibly the largest of all, I have returned to playing flash games. As today comes to a close, along with my offseason, i will no longer be able to waste so much time on the internets, as lacrosse starts tomorrow, and at the end of lacrosse I must return to running, and eventually cross country will start.
I must now return to the ever present threat of homework, as I have been sick for the better part of a week, and am returning to school tomorrow. But as a last note, if you wish for me to discuss something or enlighten the masses about my daily routine, or rather the variations thereof, just comment on a post or email me at JMorrow0@gmail.com
