What's makes someone a hero? What about a villain? If someone robs a bank to help other people, are they good or bad? If a hero protects a city from a bomb, but then kills the bomber to get rid of the threat permanently, he is still a hero? My roommate and I were discussing ethics and apparently, I have odd views of what is wrong or right. The way I see it, if someone breaks a rule, they are bad. I don't care why they did it. If a hero kills a villain to get rid of the threat permanently, that is just someone being efficient. In short, what makes someone good or bad and at what point does someone just the dark side?
Recently, a lot of things have just seemed bland to me. Things that I used to enjoy can't seem to excite me as much as they used to. This is my second year in college (computer engineering major) and deeply dislike it. The programming class and the robotics team are fun, but everything else seems like it was specifically designed to increase displeasure. The classes are boring. People here are snobby. I rarely talk to anyone outside of my roommates. I thought college would be more... college-y. I thought there would have been more partying. Everyone built this place up as something fun, but all I've seen is constantly arrogant people and classes are either treat you like you are five years old or think you can process dozens of formula per month. Here is the real issue: How can I get out of the current bubble that I am in? I want to experience more. I want to know that I left college as a better person and not just with a stupid little paper that took five years and thousands of dollars to get. Every morning I wake up and think that I could be doing something better with my life. Something that makes me happy to be learning and pushes me just well enough. I used to love learning until I came to this place. My being here seems like a mistake, but there is the constant thought of needing a degree to live well that keeps me clinging on to my classes. I don't want to regret not living when I get older. How do I know that this place (more specifically, this college) is what is best for me? There could be a Great Perhaps out there and I would never know being stuck in my current status.
My name is SparksOfLogic and I will one day be the real Tony Stark. I want to impact the world, whether it be good or bad. I don't care if I create immortality or develop the T-Virus. My roommate got me to join KHV because he thought I might enjoy reading and posting in a couple of RP forums in my free time. Thank you for reading this and I hope to get to know this place well.
What would you like to see cosplayed in real life? I'm going to an event in early April and need ideas for a costume. So far, all I can think of is either a teched out Kanti costome where the chest opens up to show speakers and a PSP screen, or being Red from Pokemon and programming a robot Pidgey to run around and flap its wings. The reason for all the electronics is because I'm learning how to program microcontrollers and I really want to win 1st place in the annual contest.
