I am kinda bored. But I am really just avoiding online music classes lol.
That sounds interesting but hard
Well I voluntarily signed up for it and I do really enjoy it, but trying to soak up information is draining.
For school? Or for pleasure?
Pleasure. I dj for fun (no intention of giging), but my real desire is to get into producing and this was the first step.
That's too legit. what type of music would you like to produce
I am into most electronically produced music, but electro house and techno would be what I am most into. Personally I would like to produce synthesizer based industrial techno. For reference, look up Gesaffelstein. Just that hard hitting dark techno producers that always delivers.
Viol - One of my favorite songs
Then look up his cd aleph. It is his first album (as opposed to EPs and Singles) and it is spreading like crazy with acclaim.
Ive just recently started getting into all this type of music since ive moved to Vegas. Im listening to Viol right now (per suggestion)

Other day i was reading about Mihály Csíkszentmihályi flow model- and "Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. "
Challenges to staying in flow
Some of the challenges to staying in flow include states of apathy, boredom, and anxiety. Being in a state of apathy is characterized when challenges are low and one’s skill level is low producing a general lack of interest in the task at hand. Boredom is a slightly different state in that it occurs when challenges are low, but one’s skill level exceeds those challenges causing one to seek higher challenges. Lastly, a state of anxiety occurs when challenges are so high that they exceed one’s perceived skill level causing one great distress and uneasiness. These states in general differ from being in a state of flow, in that flow occurs when challenges match one’s skill level.
More copy-paste from same theory:
The autotelic personality
Csíkszentmihályi hypothesized that people with several very specific personality traits may be better able to achieve flow more often than the average person. These personality traits include curiosity, persistence, low self-centeredness, and a high rate of performing activities for intrinsic reasons only. People with most of these personality traits are said to have an autotelic personality.
Up to now, there is not much research on the autotelic personality, but results of the few studies that have been conducted suggest that indeed some people are more prone to experience flow than others. One researcher (Abuhamdeh, 2000) found that people with an autotelic personality have a greater preference for "high-action-opportunity, high-skills situations that stimulate them and encourage growth" compared to those without an autotelic personality.It is in such high-challenge, high-skills situations that people are most likely to enter the flow state.
Experimental evidence shows that a balance between skills of the individual and demands of the task (compared to boredom and overload) only elicits flow experiences in individuals characterized by an internal locus of control or a habitual action orientation.Several correlational studies found need for achievement to be a personal characteristic that fosters flow experiences.
Wow, very interesting read, thank you.
If you could have and super power what would it be?
As a Jedi I often wonder about what you humans would want?
its very hard question actually, I think I would go for Superhuman mentality, which means I would have intelligence of genius and ability to expand psychic skills like psychokinesis, telepathy etc...
Jedi's choice?
Ahhh I totally know what you mean, I kinda have those same powers.
I recently found out my power animal is a Wolverine and a Fox is close second
Lol thanks. Yeah ive been out of college for a year now my brain does need some improvements.
Ahh good question. werewolf's are very fast and strong and are pretty much disease resistant. Also they can be in human form as well, plus I would have a pretty awesome howl to get the ladies. plus warm blooded and werewolves are more intelligent.
A vampire would be cool cause I can fly and bite people. However they are cold blooded, and I don't like salty things ie blood. Also they are too white and I like the sun and a nice tan
Ill go with a werewolf.
out of college for a year? You need to continue your studies IMO, I think your strength is friendly nature, decent communication, you're clever and posses kind of charm so you need to go to higher levels otherwise you'll be eaten by sharks on lower level, as you have too good nature, and bit lack of aggression/drive...
People who turn werewolf turn only at certain times, and they are out of control at that times- tough benefits are that they are disease resistant.
Vampires- they are very intelligent, and enjoy longevity (almost immortality). They cannot fly (thats hollywood I think), and they must avoid sun (which kind of sucks), they are good in bed.
I would go for vampire.
Other day at work, we had big debate: batman vs spiderman, batman is quite sofisticated and clever, but in the end I went for spiderman. Spiderman had majority of votes. You see you are not only bored person.
Haha I love you Jel. Yeah its been a year ive had too many things I had to deal with to start grad school. Im going to start grad school in spring, I just moved to Vegas so im on a waiting list to start. I totally agree on the lack of aggression and drive, that's fell off a bit after this year. Howver im in a new place, new settings, and left the bad behind me, just rewiring my brain again. Crazy how you can read into all of that just from my posts, you do have some superhuman powers!!
I like your breakdown of both, I would like to live a long life. How about im a vampwolf? Tough, fast, intelligent, longevity, and good in bed
My personality type is ENFP
•Extraversion: ENFPs love to interact with lots of people. Socializing helps them to feel energized and renewed.
•Intuition: ENFPs generally focus on the world of possibilities. They are good at abstract thinking and prefer not to concentrate on the tiny details. They are inventive and focused on the future.
•Feeling: When making decisions, ENFPs place a greater value on feelings and values rather than on logic and objective criteria. They tend to follow their heart, empathize with others, and let their emotions guide their decisions.
•Perceiving: ENFPs are flexible and like to keep their options open. They can be spontaneous and are highly adaptable to change. They also dislike routine and may have problems with disorganization and procrastination.
Some common ENFP characteristics include:
•Warm and enthusiastic
•Empathetic and caring
•Strong people skills; relates well to others
•Able to think abstractly and understand difficult, complex concepts
•Needs approval from others
•Disorganized
•Strong communication skills
•Fun and spontaneous
•Highly creative
ENFPs are extraverts, which means that they love spending time with other people. Socializing actually gives them more energy, helping them to feel renewed, refreshed, and excited about life. While other types of extraverts tend to dislike solitude, ENFPs do have a need for some alone time in order to think and reflect.
Psychologist David Keirsey identifies ENFPs as "Champions," which he suggests are rather rare. "Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out," Keirsey suggests. "And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions."
They also have excellent people skills. In addition to having an abundance of enthusiasm, they also genuinely care about others. ENFPs are good at understanding what other people are feeling. Given their zeal, charisma, and creativity, they can also make great leaders.
People with this personality type strongly dislike routine and prefer to focus on the future. While they are great at generating new ideas, they sometimes put off important tasks until the last minute. Dreaming up ideas but not seeing them through to completion is a common problem. ENFPs can also become easily distracted, particularly when they are working on something that seems boring or uninspiring.
You sussed it out... No further comments.
As for abilities , " Strength is weakness and weakness is strength" - Sun Tsu
it has many meanings, but main points are: being strong in something can make you complacent and it can be your weakness, while if someone has weakness he can work hard and it will become strength or he can concentrate on improving other skills so again his weakness made him overall stronger...
