Rant: Spending a lazy night.

Well, I'm tired of watching animes right now, and I can't play games due to the fact that I don't know when my parents will barge into my room and start shouting at me about how dumb I am. So, I decided that I will add another post to my epic blog. BE HUMBLED MY SUBJECTS!

KNEEL BEFORE JC!

So, why am I writing this blog? I could study or do some homework if I wanted to, but I am here bullshiting another article and being lazy. Actually, I think procrastinating is one of my biggest faults. I know that if I do study, then I will get better grades and be happier by far in the long run. But seriously, the deferred gratification has never really appealed to me. Everyone says that delayed gratification is better than immediate gratification, but why? Why is living in the present such a bad thing? I'm fairly certain the Henry Thoreau once said in The Walden to "Question the shit out of everything because I am a hipster.", and who am I to argue with Thoreau?

Huh... He's not as impressive as I thought he would be. WAIT! HIS HAIRSTYLE!

It looks SOMEWHAT like Adrien Brody! Actually it doesn't, but I just love this guy so much.

My dad, and my friends who take psychology, told me that there was this experiment by some hipsters at Stanford. Apparently, they got bunch of kids into one room, gave each of them a candy. Now, when the hipsters were giving out candy, they told the kids that if they waited 1 hour without eating the candy, that they would all get another piece of candy. Now, after one hour, almost no kids had prevented themselves from eating their candy. AND APPARENTLY, the kids who didn't eat their candy became great chiropractors or something. So, my dad tells me the kids who enjoy delayed gratifications are better than idiots like me.

I'm offensive and I find this Asian.

The first thing that amazes me is that the kids trapped in a single room were able to stay alive without adult supervision for an hour. The second thing that amazes me is the concept that kids who enjoy delayed gratification become more successful than kids who don't. Now, I wanna ask here WHY. Of course, my dad would say that's because the kids who are insane studied instead of playing League of Legends, thereby getting the deferred gratification of going to MIT or some other great school near the Boston area. So let's say that I play League of Legends and watch anime for 4 years and go to VT or something, and kids who studied all those years get to go to MIT or something. Now, I would prefer to go to MIT or something over VT, and kids who did sacrifice their time get to enjoy a much greater pleasure than I do. But, during the 4 years of high school, did I not get to enjoy a free and pleasurable life while the kids who studied straight was basically torturing themselves? Does not my pleasure for 4 years balance out the deferred gratification? Now, I would have to say that it doesn't balance out. The kids who get the deferred gratification do get much more benefit than I did from bullshitting around for 4 years. Heck, some kids even enjoy studying (Dam masochists...), and going to MIT will net you higher pay, better job, and the ability to brag about your alma mater.

It's almost scary to see those kind of people.

So, why do I do it? I know that going to better college is the better option, so why do I still laze around every day? The truth is, I don't bloody know. All I know is that right now, reading manga or playing games is much more enjoyable than a potential prospect of something good. Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, I constantly struggle over instant and assured gratification and delayed and unassured gratification. Jesus, I wish that I could choose to study and delay my gratification. I truly do, but I almost always end up bullshiting until the last moment. And sometimes, that last minute productivity isn't enough, and I end up embarrassed and ashamed.

I lost both my kidneys, my children hate me, and worst of all, I lost a ranked match in League of  Legends.

Sigh, I should be doing work right now I suppose.

Wow, this post took a sad turn at the end...

Stay productive...
