What is so funny?

K, how many of you laughed also at this vid? k honestly, i also find it a little funny, but i now want to know why..k, it kinda happened during camp, where we were..er.."teaching" a boy on problem solving skills..his methods of solving the situation we put him in was rather hilarious..today when i was watching the planet's funniest animals on animal planet, i saw something like the vid above..it was a girl blowing bubbles and a dog was eating them..the girl was laughing, and can say she is about 3-5 years old..

so why do we find such things funny? i would guess that it is because we are intelectual beings, and what amuses us are things that we consider down right stupid or uninteligent, that when someone or something does it, it kinda shows us the inteligence level of that person..as in the vid above, which person in their right mind will eat bubbles or soap suds?..so why do we laugh? well, a conclusion (you can say a theory, and it is something that im thinking of myself..if it is an actual theory, then this is purely coincidental) that i can draw up is that when people or animals do stupid things, it makes us feel good cuz it shows us something or someone who is less inteligent than us..haha,yea it is a very freudian conclusion..but yea, i remember when i was in ben's house, watching this add for worlds most amazing videos, where a motorcyclist just rams into a truck, and ben just burst out laughing..i mean, yea it was sooo stupid of d guy..

anyway, on a side note, i think that shows like america's funniest home vids and whacked out sports are viewed more than shows like the planets funniest animals..k, i would like to "hypothesize" that the more inteligent the being is, the funnier the event will be..so shows that have humans acting stupid should be considered more funny than shows with animals..however, it is not that just for me to say that without mentioning those ppl who just hate these shows..i would say that these ppl have very high levels of empathy, where they empathize the the subject on the screen or infront of them..haha..to be more psychological, maybe these ppl have high levels of being phlegmatic where they want everyone around them to be pleased with them..

k, i understand humour actually depends on individuals, like i can write a joke now, and some will find it funny and some dont..n everything i wrote here is just from my thoughts..pls DO NOT qoute me, because it is not supported by any research wat-so-ever..haha, just finished all my reports for coll, so i was still kinda in the mood to keep analyzing and writting..so yea, these is KINDA like the stuff we write in our psych reports just that we have to back it up with past research and it has to be WAAAAY more lengthy..if u were wondering what are my reports are like..haha..

Jaws Theme Swimming

In a car outside
We stalk the idle kind
If you're leaving just let me know
Tobacco and peppermint
Dusting for fingerprints
A film in her eyes from the glow

Some rules are made with all intentions to break
And she defends them with a warped rationale
But I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud
When they decided to try to take on the throne for the crown

And we learn
As we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And you take
Cause they give
Though I love you
And my body it leaks like a sieve

When it got cold outside
Smoke beneath the playground lights
If you're coming home, just let me know
Sucking on your breath mint
Dissected and stuck with pins
A film in her eyes from the glow

Concrete and water
She's looking for her daughter
At midnight in torrential downpour
And everything I said about how messed up your head is
Were cut up and left in bits and pieces on the cutting room floor

And we learn
As we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And you take
Cause they give
Though I love you
And my body it leaks like a sieve
[x2]

Take a picture from off the wall
When you think that nothing matters
Take a picture from the plane
It's a long way to the floor
Cut your finger on the edge
Cause it's sharper than they told you
Take a leap from out the window
Cause it's way too far to go through the door

And we learn
As we age
We've learned nothing
And my body still aches
And you take
Cause they give
Though I love you
And my body it leaks like a sieve

Future of BBM..

hey guys, if you are interested in this, or are involved with what is mentioned above, please read the links. If your not involved, you are still welcomed to read them..

Basically the Youth Act is now affecting BB, where we are a youth organization and the act states that members or any youth organization needs to be between the ages of 15-40.. SO BBM is now coming out with a draft of BBY (Boys' Brigade Youth) and they have drawn up this proposal for the constitution

Redundancy

Something that we can all do without rite?( no pun intended) like seriously..this is from more of a leadership role or an organizing role, where there is no point in having people or positions of no use, because then it leaves u wondering, "what the heck is that person doing?" this goes especially for assistants or vices or 2nd in command people..not saying that all these ppl are useless, they are most definitely not! But when forming a committee or an organization, one MUST look at the purpose of each and every role given..IF u think about everything that each role needs, and u find that there is no need for a vice, then by all means, dont include a vice..or even a treasurer, secretary or normal comm members..

also when doing work or doing stuff, one should look at the point of doing the work and also following all the steps..for example, u see all footballers on the same team kissing their rings before they enter the field, and u go up to one and ask them, "why do u do it?" if they reply, "i dunno..everyone else is doing it" then that is just 1 step that is just redundant..however it does not take up much resources (energy, time) so that is fine..BUT just say their ritual is to do 50 laps around the field before entering the it, then it really becomes extremely redundant..

IF u watched d vid, u will see that ppls lives are just repeated over and over and over again..so i would say, what u can learn form d vid is that u should question what your doing, to make sure that it is of worth..being creations of God, we MUST use our time wisely rite? Of course im not suggesting u to think about every small thing that u do like picking up the spoon first before u pick up d fork or watever.. Im just saying just do a retrospect once in awhile and ask urself, "am i in a rut? Whatever im doing, can i not do this step? Why must i do it this way? is it worth my time?" and all those kinds of questions..

Being in an organizing role many times, i have seen ppl just do things as they were, because it was done that way, although it is totally redundant and a total waste of time and i REALLY cant stand it (however i will admit i do act without thinking myself)..mostly happens in BB, like how NCO's just pass put punishments to boys who dont polish their uniform parts..but dont ask themselves, "why am i punishing d boy? is the punishment working? what is d purpose of punishment?" and it also works for the followers too..

Cheers

Place for My Head

I watch how the moon sits in the sky
On a dark night shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give light to the moon
Assuming the moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me

I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you, and
Step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous, but you should've known
That you'd wear out your welcome
Now you see how quiet it is, all alone

I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

You, tried to take the best of me, GO AWAY

Bleak..is it?

nothing to look forward to..yea, holidays are around the corner, but that is filled with other stuff..At the moment, assignments are due all on the same day, my university STILL hasnt replied me, and i need to reply them by the 30th of November..youth camp is getting closer..stress levels are up, pup is sick, or depressed, both equally saddening..so what is there to look forward to? not to mention the expectations of ppl on me..

K, im not going to lie to anyone, there IS social pressure..ppl ARE expecting something of u..example, ur sitting on the bus and an old lady gets on the bus, immediatly everyone is staring at u, cuz ur EXPECTED to just jump off the seat and let the lady on it..this is ok, but if when u delay for like, 2 seconds, cuz u just didnt notice, cuz ur mind is preoccupied with assignments are work and SOOO many other stuff, then u hear a STUPID FREAKING lady say, "Boleh bagi aunty ini duduk?" at that moment, u actually just realized the old lady, so u already started moving, but as u just start the F****** lady opens her big trap..so yea u get off, then the old lady has a seat, and the FB of a lady then says to the old lady, "haiz, budak zaman sekarang"..AGAIN social pressure kicks in, and all u can do is just shut up while that stupid lady says such things of u..

So what can u do? pray..seriously..and live ur life as Jesus wants u to..another annoying type of social pressure is the kind u get from relatives, adults friends (basically parents friends) where they ask such questions like, "so what are u studying?" or they make remarks like "o, ur son hasn't decided on what to do? u should ask him to do engineering" or " o, his son is studying law, or medicine" my answer to all that is SOOO??!! i really dont give a damn about all that..based on their logic, everyone should study medicine or law or engineering, then there is only 3 jobs in the world..others all not important..still, even so, my question to these ppl is, "is the child happy?" honestly, i get a lot of these questions, because im studying psychology, something that is considered as out of the norm..they ask stupid questions like, "eh, study psychology can get a good job? got pay ah?" its like, "F*** u, there is more to life than money.." but yea, pity them..cant imagine living my lift from 1 perspective only..just money..without the Love of God..

anyway, d conclusion that i've managed to draw from all my anti social behaviour and the analitical character that i have, i've learnt to just satisfy God's desire for u then ur own needs..if ur need is to be liked by everyone, then fine, go ahead and live with social pressure..personally, this is why i participate in anti social behaviour, its to keep myself away from all the annoyance..

yea, i am just venting out now..feel a whole lot better..(dont worry, none of wat i said is a reference to anyone i noe..if any name or situation actually depicts an actualy person, it was merely coincidental)

Common Sense

a wise man said,

"There is no such thing as common sense.." - Mr. Wong Giok Leigh

and it is soo totally true..we always make assumptions that there is such a thing as common sense..but is there? wat is d definition of common sense? well, to me its common knowledge that is shared by a group of people..so when you are sharing info with other people, you tend to leave out info, because u assume that it is common sense..thats how u loose marks in essays..



but yea, studying psych subjects like conflict resolution, human services really feels like its subjects that is based on common sense and ppl just want to make money from common sense..that use to be my attitude, so i tried to rely on my knowledge more than wat was in d book..that was my mistake..so now when i study "common sense" subjects, i look to what is said in the book, what i noe, wat i dont noe, the definitions, understanding all the definitions and why its defined in that way, in a way, getting into the head of the author and try to understand d background..haha..sounds like im some genius..key word, i TRY to be..

n btw, yea, im still depressed about d music thing, but now there is something to cheer me up..

Cheers..
