Teenagers

Do you ever wonder why, although the same age group, some of us are called teenagers and some, young adults?

Think young adult and what is the first thing that comes to mind? A smartly-dressed young man with obvious manners and upbringing, who carries himself well in society, making mature decisions that benefit the majority, morally sound ones at that. Someone we can trust. Trust, to do the work assigned to them, being resourceful in times of confusion. That would be an ideal young adult.

Then we think about teenagers. Unruly bunch of children who couldn’t give a thought about the well-being of others, caught up in their own personal pleasures and childish arguments with other like-teenagers. Dressed up in the latest fashion trends and constantly rebelling against their teachers and disobeying the rules.

But in retrospect, it all comes down to one thing, mentality. What defines mentality? Mentality is the way of thought of people and their outlook on things, or their perspective. What is a teenager’s mentality? Having fun, only living for the moment and not taking any responsibility for their actions. This then relates to maturity. What is maturity? It is the state in which an individual can take a step back and based on slow and careful consideration in accord to the society’s ethics, think about the wisest course of action that has the most beneficial long-term results. Take that and compare it to a teenagers perspective and it appears that the two are incompatible.

However, when we take maturity and look at a young adult, the results are strikingly similar.

It is why when we young kids act rashly, adults coin our actions as ‘a passing phase’. Yes, we children do mature, just that the rate of it differs from each individual. What affects or decides, our transition from children to either the branch of teenager or the branch of young adult? Understandably, society plays a huge role in our development. Yet, in the grand scheme of all things, in time, we teenagers, will merge with those young adults to become mature adults in our own rightful way.

Ok, I've decided. Got to start blogging again ;D
It's for the > good.

Pity though, lost all my archives from two-4-flinching.bs
Would make good nostalgic moments ;p .
But as Adam Khoo says,
The PAST doesn't equal to the FUTURE .
Woot. How much more random could that get .

Lets see, have you all noticed how irritating it gets when you go to a library and look to borrow a book? There will always be a case of, ' hey, this book looks interesting ', *reads synopsis*,
'Awesome, I'm going to borrow me this book'
'Aww crap, this ain't the first book'
In fact, it's the last book in the series/trilogy.

There goes the hope of a good read, dashed across rocks like how a self-preserving bird breaks the eggs of other variants, in hopes of increasing it's species survivability.

Come on! Like, we have a library quota of what, four books? Borrow the whole damned set wouldn't you? I wouldn't go home and read a book, only to be caught in a cliff hanger when I'm done and regretting not borrowing the other sequels.

Not only does this act keep one in uncomfortable suspense, it also acts as a killjoy to the rest of us. I mean, don't tempt us with the sequels! Ignorance is bliss in this case yes? We can always discover the books another day, heck, the library is here for an indefinite span of years. Surely it's more than enough time. =p

Just why people borrow just the first book eludes me. Sure they might not like the book after a good in-depth read. So they might not want to take the risk by using up their bookloan quota.

Firstly; If they found the book undesirable. Return it to the library then and borrow another book. Some people find it a hassel to bring multiple books up and down. I believe that nowadays. there are some man-made inventions which I think are called...Bags. Yea.

Secondly; If you ain't gonna risk investing in such ventures, then WHY borrow a book in a series. We have something called novels too =D . So some people might not have the time in their OH-SO busy schedules to sit down for a good read, yet feel the call of high-sea swashbuckling calling in their blood. Yes, the novels are waving to you too.

Do everyone a favour, read what you can digest -( no pun intended ) - and leave the heavy task of ploughing through trilogies to us =D

With that said,

I'm currently reading the Temeraire series and yes, I did borrow the trilogy ;D
Took me a good half hour to actually find a book that had following continuations available at that point in time.

Hooked onto : Paramore - Conspiracy, after chancing across a video of one of their performances. Damn, Hayley is hot, packing a powerhouse vocal as well. *drools*

Paramore - A pop, punk band, no overly screaming solos, gothic make up. This is all good, clean in-your-face, pump-it-up pop. Worth a good listen.

Also, practising on Lil' Iris (guitar), came across the tab for Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelins. Man are they Good. Been trying out the tab. Am impressed =D


I had a dream lastnight, more of nightmare. =/
I dreamt that she died . It was really disturbing.

Then i told her I had cancer just now. Lol =x
PRP tuesday =D

Alr then. Thats my 5 cents . Til tmr =)
