ABITE'S PROFILE

So I opened the topic "Freedom" expecting it to be about this, but it was about getting out of uni lol.

Since we had a topic about how much time we spend on the computer/internet, I'm curious if anyone knows about this and what they think. It's a program made to stop your internet access.... Sounds weird, but it's meant to cut out the distraction when working on art, code, writing, etc.

You set the amount of time to turn it off for, then reboot if you change your mind. Since you have to reboot, makes you less inclined to go online.

I think this is a great idea as I'm very easily distracted by it. Unfortunately, it's only for Macs.

What do you think? Will you/do you use this? Why or why not?

I dunno, I think a lot of people use "Fashion is expensive and arrogant" as an excuse to be lazy defend their own lack of style.

Like, even jeans and a t can be STYLISH if you just do it right. Like a cheap pair of shoes or hat or sunnies or some shit can make it look like "HEY WHAT A COOL GUY!". I guess it does depend a bit on what kind of a look you are going for. Obviously, if you work in a professional-type office, it'll probably be harder to be stylish and do it without spending too much. Doable still, though.

yeah.... twas a bit disturbing.. lol

the drawings/movement was pretty good!

the sounds effects, however, were... uh pretty subpar. honestly, if you added some good ones and some music overtop, this alone would make its like 80 times better.

I get some sleep at the minute. My girlfriend's currently doing cleaning work in the morning and bar work in the evening, so she wakes up around 6-7am, which wakes me up, and goes to work, leaving me to get on with... Whatever it is |I'm supposed to do that day. She expects me to pick her up from work (and TBH, I wouldn't want her walking home from a bar job alone anyway) so I usually get home with her about half past midnight, then we might get to sleep at 1am, sometimes 2. I still get a good 5 or 6 hours sleep a night and it doesn't really effect me. (And yes she does come home in the afternoon between the two jobs. As for me, I'm on summer break from Uni and my workplace can't give me extra hours due to the recession so I'm job hunting)

Also, when I go out with my friends, I always find I feel fantastic when I go to sleep, but like shit when I wake up. Do I blame the alcohol? No, I blame the sleep!

this is a good amoutn of sleep, but sucks for your gf. she msut get so tired from so much work/only bare minimum of sleep!!

You need to truly embrace sleep deprivation and make sure it becomes useful to you! Every dissertation, report etc. that I have ever handed in has been written as a result of jaffa cakes, energy drinks and no sleep.

usually, my issue is that after days of no sleep, its all you want. you don't want to get out of bed because you're risking the chance that "tonight might be the night!! maybe i will finally sleep!!"

also, when you DO get out of bed, and during the day, you just feel like you're drunk. nothing functions. you feel wrong and all you can think of is "if only i could sleep, it'd go away" only when you try, it doesn't come...
