Spec'in a new rig

Well im torn. I really want a quad monitor setup. and i could do it but i would have to change my setup to a water cooled and spend $200 on a single card with 4 dvi outputs (already have the water cooled system but its in another pc). Or i could spend about $400 and get a quad core, 2 cards with 2 dvi each = quad monitor, 8gb setup, and basically double my entire pc specs.... cant really afford it right now though and if i did update later on i could use the $200 still..... so hard >_<

Been a while since i posted last

ya stuff has been busy as of late but thats ok. I recently went on a camping trip and it made me think alot. the reason i thought alot was because i had alot of time to myself which is why i thought of something to write here :) So essentially i'll admit im not a great camper, outdoors person, etc. and i even fell asleep in the sun and burned a little bit which, if you knew me irl, is very hard to do. But the fact of the matter is, i really dont interact well with others. one girl kept saying through the whole weekend how creepy and weird i was (known her for 2 years). Now i admit im nerdy, but im not THAT weird. but apparently my social skills are not usually up to snuff. Now i recently also had some hits to my self esteem, and it really made me wonder why in the world im even leaving my house because of what everyone says and does. mind you this is in the context of a church/bible study group atmosphere. As christians are we that judgmental to the point of even little things are weird or creepy? I know no one is perfect and everyone judges but seriously, i dont blame people for not wanting to be or hangout with christians. I also began to wonder if alot of things that God even blesses us with are worth it sometimes. but thats a rant i dont feel like going into today. Patience, and long suffering are the keys though in my opinion. God tells us to wait, and know that his plans are above our own. i would agree and do my best to walk out in obedience.

perma linkages

well in an effort to generate more traffic i have permalinked everything to a better pattern. hopefully it helps. me and my boss might put together a marketing website that we update every so often with some resources and strategies. dunno if we will yet or not but that could be alot of fun.

inadequacy

The quality or condition of being inadequate. An instance of being inadequate; a failing or lack. ------------------------------ When the dictionary defines inadequacy, it defines it as a condition. as condition can imply circumstances and personal experience and in some ways personal choice. we can choose to be inadequate in a skill area because we dont take the time for training for instance. we can only consider that life circumstances havent allowed for us to be trained in a certain area as well. We might also have a wool pulled over our eyes, eg. a lie. whether the lie is from ourselves or external forces, eg. satan or people, we can believe fully that we are inadequate in whatever area of life is bothering us. So how do we determine its a lie? well the bible says all things are possible with God, phillipians 4:13, and it also implies that if we had the faith of a mustard seed we could walk on water and move mountains. Now allbeit i believe this can happen as illustrated by peter in the new testament. Jesus said follow after me, which numa videos explain as, come and do as i do. so if we're called and chosen by God as his children, ephesians 1, then why do we feel inadequate when we can do as he does and all things are possible? i dont know... maybe someone can tell me.

Motivation continued,

Well Its been a while and I feel I need to finish this argument before beginning my next blogging schemes. I also recently began reading mere Christianity, from which i will borrow some argument type elements. To be able to define laziness for the most part, there is an opposite by which to help define it. likewise, fast or high rate of speed is contrasted and opposite of slow or low rate of speed. Darkness is defined as the absence of light. These terms although opposite can hardly exist without one another. So truly what is the opposite of lazy? I would say that it would be that which is ultimately productive, and a balance in the middle riddled with exceptions. These exceptions may include sleeping/resting, which although can be considered lazy for the lack of productiveness, is actually a productive action because you are resting your body and regenerating energy. Motivation being more of a state of mind can be altered. Happiness Happens, Joy is Everlasting. Music, food, life, people, stuff, traffic, weather, almost everything can affect our moods. For this reason we must capture our mind and our heart. Psalm 119:15-16 says: "15 I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. 16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word." Proverbs 4:23, "23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life" (NLT) or 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." (NIV). I think if we let despair or helplessness it can drain not only our spirit, but drag on our minds and our hearts. Depression can steal away our promises, minimize them. However we can make a choice to get up and move and take steps. We are called to meditate on Gods promises and his precepts and principles. Guarding our hearts we must not let evil come out of it. We have been saved and purified. Despair should have no p lace for our hope is in God, the one who destroys the impossible. Meditating on our hopes and promises that God has given us and What we have and have to come will help keep us motivated. With our hope put in something firm, we will always be taken care of. Motivation to do something successful and our hope put someplace firm, man think of the things we could do to change this world and live full lives with blessing and storing of treasures in heaven. So how do we know what that is? Well we have to practice listening to God, spend time in prayer, fasting, reading the bible, seeking wise council consistently and on a regular basis, asking the holy spirit to help lead and guide us, getting plugged into a church. All of this and more can help us be motivated, not only in the physical but the spiritual too.

Laziness,

Lately its come to my attention that the factors in life can be broken down simply, over simply, into two main categories. motivated and unmotivated. Motivated being, you have the drive and will to do something, and unmotivated indicates that you have no will to do anything. Motivation is defined as, the condition of being motivated. Synonyms include, predetermination, encouragement, and desire. "will" as it stands will be defined by a rather large definition, the faculty of conscious and especially of deliberate action; the power of control the mind has over its own actions. the act or process of using or asserting one's choice. wish or desire. purpose or determination. These definitions were pulled from Dictionary.com but I believe they have been appropriately attributed and referenced for the purposes of my thoughts. so how does my title of laziness fit into thoughts of motivation? Well, that is very simple. Unmotivated people seem lazy. Desire, encouragement, and purpose of determination and the lack thereof, is what drives unmotivation. Unmotivated people are not necessarily lazy, they are just have no drive, no purpose, or (not always, but some cases) no encouragement. With this notion in place, it can explain why students dont do well in school, why people are on welfare and stay there, why people at work can perform better but dont. Students may have no drive to succeed because they dont know what that brings. Those on welfare get fed and have money, so no purpose is created for their lives. Employees do not excel or perform at their highest because there is no encouragement. The latter of the three is clearly pointed out in popular illumination studies that suggested that, more lighting would increase worker productivity. whether it was darker or lighter had no effect, what was found was that the workers were having constant contact with their bosses and had encouragement and general contact. So what is the key to staying motivated? I'm not sure, I'm going to try and find that out myself find a way to present it an a relatively academic form.
