Episode 21: My Sayings
Haha this is just gonna be a quick but hopefully informative and insightful post :P
But basically, I have a lot of little sayings, and I just wanted to write down and explain them so I can look at them years in the future. I know that you guys have them too, so comment and add them to the list, and then maybe I can append them to this post so we can remember all of our little sayings XD
~Andy
"LTD" - An Acronym I invented which stands for "learn to deal". This has spread a bit in the crew, and both Dan and I got our college friends saying it.
"Whhhaaaatttt!" - A kiddy whine version of the word "what". Used to describe displeasure in something that just happened, usually in a video game. Used a lot in college, and is starting to die out now.
"To Legit to Quit!" - Something I've been saying a lot, and have got a lot of people saying XD It's pretty self-explanatory, describes a noun. Ex) "That chick is to legit to quit!"; "Brawl is to legit to quit man." I also just discovered that it's also a song by MC Hammer. My mom said it one time before knowing I said it, and my boss also sang it when I said "that's legit" one time; unfortunately meaning I didn't invent it :P
"...is the best, DJ Khaled." - Something I've started using to describe a noun that is in merit of being "the best." Can also be used to describe a group of people or things. Ex) "Our crew is the best, DJ Khaled."
"Yeahhh, dude." - I have been using this so so much recently. It's kind of a bad habit. XD
Usually used when I am in agreement with what someone has said.
"That is out of control, dude!" - One I often use frequently. It all started when describing Snakes side smash while Kit(aka Chris) was playing as him. Also used with a word such as "move" or "game" with "is" occasionally being replaced with "was". Ex) "That move is out of control!" "That game was out of control dude."

Daydreaming
Episode 20: In Need of Some Credit
So I would have to say that on my top 10 list of things to do, thinking is one of them. I hate how daydreaming seems to be shunned all around, especially in the field of education. One time I was taking a test in English class to determine what kind of learner I am(haptic, auditory, visual, etc.). And how this one works is, it gives you a choice between 2 words and you have to choose one. Each word is worth a different point value, and then your total points would determine your learning style. I had one where the 2 words were "Daydreamer" and "Logical". Basically, I felt it was directly implying that daydreamers were illogical. Although there are some downsides to daydreaming, I still don't understand why it is so looked down upon, and why people can't look at the good in daydreaming.
In all honestly, daydreaming IS a false reality. You can think about whatever you please. Which is why it can be such a drug for some people. They daydream about all these good things, and they can't wait to get out of real life to go back. It's great though, I think. It gives you a good feeling and can improve your relationships in real life, especially if you already daydreamed ahead of time how you'd like things to be; or just make you a happier person in general. Some people see this as a negative though, which is understandable. Because there are some people who dream about wanting they cant have. I do this all the time. But unlike me, instead of being happy they can dream about it, they dread it.
Even though I love daydreaming, it has costed me A LOT of sleep, because my brains favorite time to daydream seems to be when I go to bed. Even so, it has been a huge help. There are 3 things that usually keep me up at night.
1. Drama- Yes of course. In 10th grade, I had a lot of drama and it caused some sleeping issues XD However, I'm really glad my brain decided to daydream instead. My mind loves going through every possible scenario, and if I know the people involved decently well, I can plan out the safest option for every situation I can think of. This has saved me a lot of trouble and stopped me from just trying guess what to do to resolve problems quickly.
2. Girls- Of course again! Whenever I had a crush on a girl or a date with one or anything like that, it usually keeps me up. You often end up thinking about the girl all the time, creating more false realities and wishing you were with them, etc.
3. Life Problems- This is the only bad one that keeps me up longer. Whenever I'm having a huge problem, personal or family, or if I just make a poor decision, I tend to dread on it for a long time. It's unnecessary because its in the past when I daydream about it, but I still think about it, and it just brings me way way down. I just like thinking so much, and if it's the only thing to daydream about, then it's gonna happen!
But anyways, I hope some more daydreamers out there read this and feel the same way as me. Your not illogical, your still a smart and competent human being. To bad the schools don't know how to teach haptic learners like us!

Growing Up
Episode 19: Must be Hard to Do
I don't want to sound like a jerk here but I might. After returning from college I felt that I had matured a lot. And coming back to some immature people has been a really hard pill to swallow for me. It has really shown who my true friends are and who aren't; and it's really obvious who's immature and who's not. I really hope they can grow up soon. Anyways, I'm not saying I'm flawless or anything like that, but I am a really chill person and don't understand why people are acting so High School(or even Middle School)! If they are interested, here are some grievances I have, and I wouldn't mind if they gave me some in return.
~Andy
I've changed quite a bit from college, in fact all of us who went did, but not for the negative. I'm still the same Andy Hulme I always was. I'm tired of the immatures saying "They're so different now" for the worse.
I'm tired of people saying that we don't chill like we used to anymore and that things are different: Then when when we do chill, the immatures act distant and awkward and then continue to bitch about how it's our fault.
I'm tried of people bitching about my and others relationships when I don't care to say mean things about them and their relationships anymore(unless they ask for my opinion).
I'm tired of people consistently asking me for advice and then consistently ignoring it.
I'm tired of trying help friends who apparently don't want to be helped, so I'm not going to help those friends anymore.
I'm tired of people who get mad at me for doing something, yet the immatures ignore the fact that they've done it to me, or just done it in the past.
I'm tired of people who are immature and just can't LTD with ANYTHING, and instead just turn these things into a big deal to cause problems for everyone.
(lol, this is the responce I was preparing for J9 and Kt's little video talking smack about us (as well as some other friends I had grivences against) before I learned it was a joke. I found it and posted it XD)
