Invictus by William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Rantings of ticked off hungry person

So I've been staring at the screen for a while wondering what to write. Seems a lot harder to do when one is nicotine deprived and hungry. Plus the hot weather isn't very helpful. One of these random days I met some old high school mates we started conversing catching up and stuff. So we are all asking eachother what the other is doing in their life. Some still in Uni and others are working. Then some people were telling others that they shouldn't be studying what they were cause they weren't fit for it or some jazz like that. This hit a nerve cause a lot of the finger pointing was going my way as if I wasn't to study what I was and go into the career I wanted. So let me school you for a minute. In some of the realities of the world.
When you go to any institution of learning you acquire skills. These skills are to help you in whatever venture you go into. Granted that some people get a degree,masters or PhD in one thing and you end working in a field different from what you studied. So going to school is already a qualification you dumb asses. But thats besides the point. As I quote someone, “Oh My God. You want to be a therapist/counselor. I don't think it would suit you.” News flash it does. So according to them I don't the character or what it takes. Doesn't the fact that I'll get a degree in Psychology qualify me? Then they say oh no thats not it its just your life and your character doesn't seem to go with what your studying. I died laughing. Think about it all those inspirational speakers are people with EXPERIENCE in whatever trials and tribulations they went through thus having first hand perspective on the matters they talk about. Same applies here. My EXPERIENCE. The trails and tribulations I've faced, am facing and will face. I was that rebellious kid, sneaking out of the house to go party did a lot of dumb things and got into a lot of trouble but I learnt. The point of these experiences is to learn how to cope. We acquire these coping mechanisms and learn them. So I learnt. I learnt how to deal with death, losing friends, to deal with things when I fucked up (forgive my French) beyond fucking up. And I learnt not to say I'm still not learning I am so thats another thing that will qualify me in my future career. Cause I will to an extent understand the road my clients are on.
People tend to forget that whatever lifestyle you have doesn't necessarily dictate your effectiveness in your profession. On the contrary in some instances the life you help can actually help you in your profession. And be thankful for it.

Mental Block

So as easily noted I haven written a damn thing in over two months. Sadly writers block is the reason and a serious case of it. Making it worse I have somehow lost my book. Where I had written things down and such. My vault of mental treasures. But hopefully it will work out but for now I'll load up as many pictures of fun stuff or interesting aspects as possible.
