New Years!

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 2:13 PM

Hey peoples, this is me wishing you a happy new year. There's some crazy parties going on, and some crazy people doing some crazy things. I opted not to go to this crazy party that I was invited to, and I'm going to play it safe.


If you're going to the city, or into any crowded area, be careful, it's the single most dangerous night of the year to be in the city. I've heard some crazy stories in the past, and I'm sure more crazy things will happen as well.

Happy New Year!

The end of the year is pretty close, and to some, the end of the world is even closer. I don't know why there are people who believe in the end of the world at 2012, but I find it to be pretty funny.


Anyway, for new years I have the option of going to a crazy party, which I don't want to go to alone. It's in brooklyn, and it's one of those wild artistic parties that crazy things are probably going to happen in. I don't really have much else to do, and I certainly don't want to be bored on New Years.

The day after New Years, I'm going to be seeing The Rocky Horror Picture Show with my friend Jenna in the city at 12 AM, and hopefully it'll be good. One of my friends said he saw it, and that it was pretty fun, so I'm a bit excited.

In other news, I have to get some people to watch Trigun, an anime, and one of my favorites, if not my favorite.

Blog you later.

Christmas Eve!

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 11:34 AM

Well tomorrow is a big day for many, but not for me I guess. I'd like to celebrate it, but not religiously. Anyway, today at night, I'm supposedly going to a christmas party, and I don't really know if I want to go, because I want to see Allaire, but eh.


On saturday, I'm going to my mother and I won't be back till around monday probably, because she'll probably want me there for a bit of time. I don't know when I'll be completely free, because then after that is New Years, and I'll probably be doing something with that with some of my friends maybe, so I have no idea.

Basically, a lot of plans that I don't even know I'll follow.

Happy Chrismahannaqwuanza.

Tomorrow will be the shortest day of the year, the winter solstice. I think the sun will go down around 4 to 4:30, which is so depressing, but at least we all know the days will get longer from then on until July 21st.


It snowed yesterday, and everybody called it a blizzard. People looked at me and called me an idiot for walking in a blizzard. I have this to say, this was not a blizzard, and I don't know why everybody thinks it is. A blizzard is when the snow is coming down so hard that you can't see anything. A blizzard means there's no cars out on the road, and the wind factor is way below chilling. I was outside walking around for hours really happy, helping people get their cars unstuck in the snow.

Today, I was going to go shoveling and try to make some side money, but I'm afraid I won't be able to. The cold air doesn't fair well with my lungs and it sucks, but it won't stop me from having fun!

Bad music.

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 5:19 PM

You know, scientifically speaking, there is such a thing as bad and good music. I've talked with a lot of people about this topic, and it's always the case where I'm completely alone on it. Even though I give evidence of there being such a thing, it's still put on me that I'm always wrong.


Well, as explained to my friend, I'll explain to everyone who reads this.

There is bad music, and good music, scientifically speaking. I'm not reaching into peoples opinions and destroying, all I'm saying is, factually, some music is bad for your mind, and some is good. I'm not going to bother linking to anything, because if you want to do the research, do it on your own.

Bad music includes rap, hip hop, emo, and metal.

Now before you get all pissy and say it's not true, there have been 1325 colleges that have participated in this. Some guy went to the schools and asked them to compile a list of people who volunteer the music that they listen to, and their SAT scores. Guess what, you might not be surprised but Lil'Wayne scored the lowest. Another non-suprising fact, Beethoven and Mozart scored among the highest.

If that's not enough for you, they took rats, put them in the same exact mazes, with no variables. They put metal music on one maze, and classical music on the other. 9 out of 10 times, the classical music maze beat the rat with the metal music.

Furthermore, surgeons seem to work better and are less stressed around a classical music environment. Yes, it even affects the way people react physically, to most things.

I won't indulge you with more facts than this last one. Plants were raised in greenhouses. They put music on 24 hours a day for a month, and concluded that rap, techno, and alternative music were detrimental to the plants because of disturbances in the sound waves. The complete opposite with classical music.

I'm not saying that you're listening to music that I'm called bad, I'm saying it's not good for you, and it's pretty much proven with all of this.

That's all I really have to say, feel free to send hate mail.

Almost over.

I just finished having kahvalti, a turkish breakfast, and a very good one. Out of the many traditional turkish things, kahvalti has got to be one of my favorites. It's basically everything is set in front of you, and you eat with your entire family and it's great. If I ever have a family, I hope we do it every morning. You can pick anything from bread, cheese, olives, jelly, and some other stuff, it's very simple.


Anyway, today I'm presenting my really bad project in my science class. I made a pan flute out of PVC pipe, and that's pretty much it. I have to explain how it makes sound and resonates and all that good stuff.

That's about it.

Ice Skating? Ungrounded Party?

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 6:16 PM

Tomorrow is my friend Alicia's ungrounding party, as funny as that sounds. She's been grounded for a while, just because she decided to date another guy. She's 15, and the guy's a really nice guy, and I don't understand bad parenting. Yet again, it makes me want to question the ways of so many parents, oh well.


Well yeah, tomorrow she'll be free, and then hopefully I'll end up going ice skating later on in the day, for a mere 10 dollars. I haven't gone ice skating for a long time, but Mike came up with the idea, so I do want to go. I'm good at roller blading, and it seems to me like it's the same exact thing almost.

Let's see, what other things are in the news. Ah yes, I unearthed my love for french rap. Yes, french rap, I know it's pretty random. Around a year ago, maybe a little less than that, I started to try to get into rap, but good rap, and I couldn't. However, I discovered french rap, and I fell in love with it. Almost all of it sounds so amazing and smooth, it's so beautiful. The language just has such a suave seamless smooth sound to it, it's great. I love it all.

That's really about it.

Not Paying Attention.

I was in math class, and I found out that I had missed the midterm, so in return, I dropped the class. While I was in that particular class though, I felt really depressed and wrote something down on a piece of paper, and I crumbled it up after words and ripped it. I put it back together now, and maybe this will strike some peoples hearts. Maybe not.


Untitled.

Sometimes when trying to get rid of all of the anxiety that one person has, they turn to different methods which to me seems very unmethodical. It's almost barbaric to me. The things that some people, while they are sad, in order to become happy sometimes surprise me, although it's rare. One thing that comes to mind is selflessness or self infliction. Selflessness to me can be a great thing, I'm a pretty selfless guy, and I seek to help others, almost all the time, but there are those times where I know I can go too far. Speaking of these type of things, it may seem unwise for someone to be selfless as far as to hurting themselves, but it's actually a great feeling. I love having those moments where you're being chivalrous and helping out other people, and when you feel good about it. It's like you're contributing to other peoples needs for no reasons. I think that everyone should be like that all the time, but obviously will not. It's just not in human nature, for most people, to be kind and sincere to everyone. You can't be amazing to every person you encounter anyway, but I still think it's better to try than to completely repeal your acts of selflessness. Although I know this won't happen maybe ninety percent of the time, I can at least try to get people to, pay it forward, in a sense. Paying it forward is a completely selfless act in which you help out any one random person, you deem worthy of helping. In response to helping them, that person helps another and that person another, and the cycle keeps going. I think this is a great concept, and I got it from the movie Pay It Forward. When I first saw this movie, I really fell in love with the idea of it, even at a very young age. I wanted to just help everyone for no reason and I think that's where it came from really. I can't say much else except for, I wish that more people were like that. I think someday everybody will slowly realize all of this.

If you read through all of that, kudos to you.

Jury Duty, Procrastination, and Writers Block.

0 comments Posted by Bijan Turkcan at 7:39 PM

First up, I have to reply back to this jury duty, which I wrote about last time, but you know, looking into it, the whole system is so fucked up. I usually hold back on these type of things, but in seriousness, it's so easy to get out of things that you did, or get into things you didn't do, just thought I'd like to share. Another thing, something you did can screw up your future for the rest of your life, even if you change, it's a permanent brand, and that's annoying to have to see other people deal with it.


Second, I gotta stop procrastinating so much, I really do, I'm beating my own mind in telling myself that, hopefully it works.

Third, I haven't been able to write anything decent for the past couple of weeks and it's bothering me, I don't know why, but it's putting me really down. I've always been creative with almost everything, but it seems it's beginning to vanish a little, or somewhat.

Fourth, there's really awesome food waiting for me in the kitchen.

Blog you later.
