My name is Derrick.
I am 20 years old.
I enjoy working with my hands, learning, anything electronic, especially computers.
I like my voice, I like my musculature, and my hands.
I enjoy my job, a lot.
I am generally proud of myself.
I am proud of my beliefs, but I don’t enjoy shoving that in others faces.
I do not like sharing my beliefs with others.
I do like sharing my ideas with...

I have a billion thoughts racing in my head, ranging from the existence of a dielectric binary existence of good and evil, to starting a blog, to ruby. Oh, and there’s a part of me that wants to just crash.
Unfortunately a lot of my thoughts aren’t so focused on school, which is problematic. It’s not that I’m being lazy, quite the opposite, I’ve done an amazing...

Rambling
I have a lot of disconnected thoughts bumping about in my head, so I apologize in advance that this post is basically meaningless rambling, whining, bitching and a hint of angst. Please disregard as appropriate.
Lately I’ve been on edge. I’ve made a lot of minor silly mistakes - I can hardly type correctly. The little bit that I’ve programmed has been useless and unremarkable....

Intelligence
I can, on almost any topic, interject enough jargon and random yet related facts, studies and trivia to convince most anyone that I’m intelligent.
The irony is that such a thing does not make me intelligent. I could (and would) argue that it actually makes me dumb.
Intelligence lies in the ability to synthesis new information. It is part creativity and part ingenuity. If facts were...
There are times when I would like to take a baseball bat to someone’s face. Not in the vague general teen angst sense, but in the very specific I could name the person sort of way.
The problem is that usually these feelings don’t fade, they just grow.
I’ve stolen the following shamelessly from Tokoloshegirls blog (Though obviously I’ve changed the answers to my own.)

Do you have a magical/Pagan name? No.
What does it mean? There’s a sarcastic answer I could give, or I could just not give one at all.
How did you find Paganism? Family.
How long have you been practicing? Since I can remember.

There’s six different types of homemade fruit hooch available and a fresh batch of bacon-smothered pyrohy (pierogies) in the fridge. (You’ll have to sleep in the backroom with my drying roadkill pheasant heads and feet, but I’ll make up for it by letting you play my Rock Band/Guitar Hero drums. <- Just remind me to sanitize the sticks before I hand them over. (Ahem.))

No hope for humanity
There are days where I wake up mopey. Usually by the end of these days, I feel not only that there is no hope for humankind, but I feel contempt for them. This only snowballs over time.
And then something, or someone, unexpectedly does something, and it completely snaps me out of it, and shows me that there is yet hope, even if it’s only the faintest glimmer.
Today I had the chance and...
Another day
This is one of those days where I feel as if I’ve done nothing. Though I have faint memories of spending several hours sitting around in my boxers drinking grapefruit juice and programming in Java, as well as several hours of research on a few random topics. I also remember setting up a domain name and finding a deal on business cards for a friend. I may be delusional, I’m not sure...
My Mother
My mother made the comment, after some days of me sitting around the house missing my girlfriend, that my girlfriend is not a part of me, that I should be fine without her.
The problem is that statement is the exact opposite of reality. My girlfriend is very much a part of me, just as much as my arms or my soul. She is different in this regard then every other girl I have other dated. Where...

In reflection
I think I’ve posted at least two opinions in a row with no quote inbetween, the world may actually be ending soon…
In reflection, this year was quite dramatic from my viewpoint at it’s tail end. Wikileaks, Anonymous, and just all the cyber drama in general has been almost overwhelming. I’m disappointed by the reaction of my government, and many of my countries citizens,...

Hey you again. It’s been.. well in reality, only a few days. But in my mind it feels like forever. I miss you, a lot. I’m halfway inbetween wanting to lock myself in my house, and wanting to spend time with others. I suppose one is clearly healthier, but I’m not sure if thats what I want.
It’s sort of like part of me is missing. As if half of me simply decided to get up...
Hey you
You, yes you, who is aware exactly that I’m addressing you, not just in that fourth wall sort of sense, but in that very specific I-could-name-you-but-I’m-not sort of way…
I miss you, a lot. I wore your ring today, and it made me feel a bit better, but there’s still so much missing. It’s as if every gray day is just another room in the dungeon of limbo, a place made...

Back to tumblr
So the lover is back home for a while, which means I’ll be back on tumblr, as another way to communicate to her and also deal with my angst, :) .
Not much has changed. New job, the freelance thing is quite a bit more setup and improved, and there’s a nice selection of stuff in the works.
I guess we’ll just see how it goes.

A transmission in neutral
I tend to feel that I’m a calm, reasonable and hard to annoy person. Of course, I also find myself ranting constantly, so perhaps I’m utterly delusional. One thing however, which annoys me above all things, which is without doubt one of the most common conditions, is when people willingly choose to not apply themselves.
I understand people who don’t have the raw power. I can...

The New Sexuality
I’ve been writing this post in my head for the last two months. I’m sure when I’m finished I’ll still have missed something.
Sexuality, or more specifically, the way Society views, accepts, deals with and interacts with sexuality, is in a state of constant flux. Society is at times open, accepting, and lenient. Other times it’s rejecting, conservative, and...
