Convention Adventures 004



Last posts from  "Convention Adventures":




    Getting on the same flow of “convention Adventures”, the 4th one since the start of this blog. This time, it was the same as any other, but it was different as any other, because of lots of reasons.
    Curiously enough, I was alone, kinda, I have met nobody, although I’m sure I told one or two. I don’t know if they would like to come if they had the time.... But, if I could know every people near school....
    Anyway, I was supposed to meet new people and have fun. But I think I wasn’t prepared for that too. Their huge amount of information wouldn’t be enough for my lack of information.... well I know something, but it’s not like I would argue a bunch of teenagers for their crazy likes.... What I found amusing was the place, different areas and different stands of food, shoping things and a few artists’ block. I would have participated on some drawing contest, but I hadn’t got the time for one. And also the ones who were into that contest were using references to make a nice drawing. I could have some of my references and make an original one.
    Near the place of the drawing contest there were the videogame and trading card tournaments. Again I wasn’t even daring to face some Smash Bros Brawl, even though I know how to play. I would feel like a noob to all those experts....
    And then the main area, with lots of items, one of them, some Adventure Time items. I got one, a Finn Plushie... :D Some video presentation, special guests, karaoke, cosplay contests, and lots of people. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of two would meet me and talk to me. In fact someone talk to me, it was the only conversation I had, kinda sad I know.... hehe
    The Homestuck cosplayers appeared again, if I can make an understandment, maybe they may find other people who read that webcomic, or maybe they are just showing it.... I would like to know how they take all of this. I want to know someone near who reads Homestuck and show me all of this. Even if I usually follow canonical storylines, I can fantasize possible others.... hehe
    Even though, I had a very daring succession of events, and it was the most daring one, I suppose..., but I think I kinda failed on that. And I’m guessing why I didn’t succeed on that. I may show my position of Erick Medina in form of drawings, only to show I can draw and I can make cool ones. Or maybe I have to know lots of things they know, like yugioh, again smash bros, street fighter, ddr, marvel vs capcom 3, and then knowing new anime and have friends who can talk about that..., in my position it may not work, maybe I have to look for another way that isn’t the normal way, the usual way teenagers would do.
    Gaming is one of the things; programming games are nice to do. So, yeah... that was my convention adventure.
    Why did I go this time? Because I haven’t got into lots of ones and I would be afraid, and because I have known this one and at others I haven’t known they were done.
    Why did I still dare to do it? Because I want to, because I know certain people go and they like it, because they would see as I can get out of my computer to go out and have some fun (I have my fun alone, but on a later time I was hungry and I couldn’t eat food because of my braces....).
    Will you go again? If I get invited or if they can tell me what to do so I can’t feel lonely because I’m not prepared. Because I can’t hang out with teenagers, maybe people who likes to play videogames, I have to be prepared to that, and also to people who play cards, but I have to have one..., or maybe to participate on a drawing contest, but I have to bring all and be prepared and be early to do it.
    Just that I don’t want to get disappointed again..., I’ll have to know people, that’s all.
Next week, a bunch of issues to attend, but this blog is still on.

Hey, you seem too quiet...


 [Some post I should have done before....]
    That’s what people say when they first know me. When that happens they know I’m not a talk-active person, and then their beliefs about me start to get concrete. I don’t know how their methods of meeting people, but saying that is just because they want to know you, but what if you don’t know what to say...?
    I don’t usually meet people all the time, and when someone occasionally presents me to another person, I don’t know what to say to him/her, or how to get the attention if that’s what I want to do. I have a certain good luck on finding the right ones, but maybe that isn't as lucky as it seems. I don’t know how to express it, but..., when I see that people talks about normal things usually the other has the right topic that can follow the conversation’s flow. It’s like feeling ignorant on those topics they know, as if I had to know all they talk.
    They usually talk about things I don’t usually know, maybe I don’t have the luck of find the right ones, or I only get to know the ones they are near my space of action. Because I don’t know what they are talking, I’m usually left behind and they just follow their conversation. I just listen, and if the ambiance is good enough, then I’m fine.
    I’m not also the one who talks a lot, because I don’t know fully how they still repeat the information at a certain point of their lives or they relate the same information but to other events or to other people. Making new relations like that is news for people. Even if they hear the same info, if they relate it to others, that’s news.
    There is a possibility of talk match, and when that happens, the conversation gets fluent and the relation gets stronger by each meeting. I know how it feels, and I know how it feels otherwise. By each try I usually fail, but still I’m trying. Sometimes it’s a success, sometimes it’s a kind of disappointment. But I think that’s how life it is.
    I do have my experiences, even if they are a few, even if they are not compared to other’s experience. Only it’s about being interested on the other person and being firm on the real thing about the conversation.
    I get curious when they say: why you quiet? And yeah, I’m kind of quiet. Maybe it’s not my strength talking; I just want to do activities and sharing with others. I’m usually the one who listens, and I like it. I’m not the one who gives, but of course it didn't go well all of the times, because others want to receive. People like receiving information, people like giving information.
    Tired at receiving, I started to give. And that’s why all of this has been done. My blogs, my drawings, my expressive ideas. But it’s only a matter of time to specify to who I’ll be glad to give.

Awkward moments with information


Nerd’s Adventures – Awkward moments on asking/requesting information
    Hello, writing again, I have like today and eight days more of writing. I have been attending a lot of issues and a lot of other things to be done soon. I just have to be reminded that I have all of those.... >///<
    Anyway, I know I have to still practice, but I’m not into the position of getting my notebook and drawing non-stop. I would like to, but lately I have been trying other things.... hehehe
    One of those things is programming. I’m using Java for making programs, just for fun and practice. I’m still on the way of looking on better ways of thinking programmatically but we’ll still on searching.
    Ok, I was going to make a post of what I did yesterday, or my adventures on the social world of everyday.
    Attending some of those issues, I have to face some fact that I was a little afraid of the consequences: talking to a secretary or assistant about asking or requesting information about things that you need to do, because it’s important to continue. In fact, I had like around 40 minutes to make it happen, so it was a fast-paced doing.... hehe
    As soon as I got in course, I went straight to that office. There was a line of people waiting too. But that line was advancing fast so I could talk to the assistant. I was starting to get nervous because I just wasn’t sure about what to say, but I started slowly so my nervous talking wouldn’t invade me. The assistant then told me of requirements, and when I was sure the things I have were the ones, I hurried to get those requirements done. It was some sort of receipt or ticket and a copy of other documents.
    I returned, and a new line was there, I waited and got to the assistant. Everything seems fine, but the assistant told me of the receipt that it was the wrong one that I was requiring. I soon started to get more nervous, because the assistant said you were requiring that but this isn’t going to help you on the next step. I was confused I didn’t know what to say, wasn’t that the right one? But then she said are you sure you want that? But then I was confused which was the one? Then she explained something I wasn’t clear about, and then I understood it. So I step back and went to get the right receipt, but then I was confused, so I went to the place they were requiring the thing I was asking on the other office. And after getting all clear I changed the receipt and return to the office, again with a new line...
    I continued to be nervous and I was feeling my face burn inside..., I do that when I confront all those kinds of situations, because I just don’t deal with this very often. But I see people when does kinda the same thing. The office attends a certain kind of document request and people just go there for that purpose, so I could see certain situations when talking to the assistant.
    In the end, my request was done and in time. I just have to wait to get it delivered. I don’t know why I didn’t do that before. It’s just my things of thinking what would likely say.... hehe

About Tweets and HastTags


    Hello, New Post here, hehehe. In my continuous attempt of overcoming shyness and making a good impression on what I post, I get my ideas in development, and based on a daily basis I make a good post... hehe

    So, like every other person who was bored last Sunday, I saw the Super Bowl, aired on TV by local channel and by the sponsored U.S. channel. I wasn't so interested on seeing it, but there were a lot of data posts that I saw recently before the game started. They usually comment about who’s going to win or how interesting the half-time show is going to be. Things like that. It’s obvious that it’s all a show and an American tradition to make that kind of celebrations, and other people on different countries like to see it too.

    But the thing is this: I wasn't paying attention to the T.V. I don’t know why everyone in my house was seeing this, but I was occupied working on my computer, and of course I wanted to know what was happening, because at that time, the game had started. So I looked upon some sports page site on some local TV channel, and they were streaming some special comments about the show, without really showing it, I scrolled down and looked on the Twitter posts they make respecting the game show. I was kinda surprised that like every minute there were like 20+ posts about the super bowl, the team, everything related to the NFL game show. I think the interesting thing was the posts that have some kind of special tag.... what they called Hash Tag. Indeed, they were “capturing” some the most common hash-tags from the Superbowl  So all the messages come at some web widget, they collected those posts and showed them on the page. Somehow it’s interesting to see it, and because it’s there getting updates by each minute, it’s unlikely to go out of the page, because you are very interested on knowing what’s happening on real-time.... And also, the ones who are into the stadium hopefully they post something else, so, it’s a real distributive party show and everybody participates on it. Kinda impressing.

    But not too much...., Twitter has been here for several years, and those kind of features isn't uncommon. Maybe it’s because I haven’t tried that Micro-blog site, until know. As you can see, I have placed a twitter widget, which means.... I have twitter now! :D So you can follow me on whatever I post on twitter, and then you can go to my many pages and see it clearly....

    I’ll continue on making posts, so if you want to suggest something you can do it. Thanks and see you (Richie is asleep, hehe, so let’s finish the post here :P )

The Standing Position and Rise of Erick Medina



..., which means, the username StndNerdBoy11 is making a standing position to establish commitments and state of base on the content of all the posts made.
    It’s hard to maintain everything. Only a very organized mind and a clear view on what’s what we have to do in a day is a difficult task. Constantly posting comments, posts, drawings, writings, and other interesting stuff has its effort and everybody who has been or is into the user-type community knows about it.
    Each user must be responsible for all content that they place/post in their web sites, trying to avoid things we don’t want everybody to know about it, or avoiding very strong emotional posts that may be regrettable later. In my opinion, I have been into a slightly objective position, with a little bit of emotional posting, but controlled enough so it cannot be a bother to anyone. If somebody cares about what I post, they would send me something about it.
    I make this post to make a nice statement upon the standing position of my nickname, that its planned development, whatever it is the Main Purpose of the Blog (overcoming shyness and posting nerdy things), or the contribution of idea and expression by writing and drawing, is going on progressive steps, depending on how ready I was to do new things. Fortunately I have improved a lot, but of course I have lot to learn.
    Making a little example: seeing all those people do things, normal things, normal things I wouldn’t do, my family wouldn’t do, neither other near people would do normal things. Searching for examples is difficult, if you don’t have an idea of what to find. I don’t easily see the things at first sight, but only if somebody would tell me and if it’s really OK with that I would follow it. I know there are things I won’t follow, but normal things I would do.
    The standing position of the username is clear and without any kind of harsh commotions and arguments without reason. And my position will filter whatever emotional event that I get in my mind and post only when calmness has been mostly controlled. The standing position is of course affected by all other posts, but it cannot show those, because in the objective motion of the username, it shouldn’t been affected by that, but in the position far from position, it’s a matter of caring of what blogs or users are important, because we care about what they post, and we feel the need of help, even though we can’t do a lot....

    I put my effort on my username position. And I know I need to maintain my position making constant updates and attending whoever is talking to me. Even though I haven’t experienced that recently, I haven’t lose hope, I just need to get more into attention, or more into getting into things they like more, especially if we can share it.

Erick: "So, every time I get out of character, or personality... hehe, just call me and remind me that..."
Richie: "The last post..."
Erick: "What? That was necessary..."
Richie: "You posted about broken love..."
Erick: "Because I can't understand why they can't have a normal life..."
Richie: "It is a normal life, just they are expressing it the way they see the most fit..."
Erick: "OK, but there are ways of doing it..."
Richie: "But still they are those persons..., they usually say if you don't like it..."
Erick: "OK, I know that story... only that my feelings..."
Richie: "You have said you won't talk about feelings..."
Erick: "Hey, I don't know how much patience you have, when this blog is without any visitor..."
Richie: "That's why I have to talk with this guy, Mr. Blogger"
Erick: "Mr Blogger?"
Richie: "Yeah the same. I want to ask some question on blog promotion. He sure knows what to do..."
Erick: "Oh.. ok..."
Richie: "And you should also be searching about blog promotion!! Your methods aren't worth enough..."
Erick: "All right, for the standing position of us and because we want to still get promotion... hehe..."

I know I have to search promotion, so let's be more precise and, search promotion :D

Not a good February Start Post...


[ST-NoCallBackPost-20130201: This is posted as it is, no objective changes, turned out positive somehow]


So, we're on February...



..., and people will start whining about love: their lost love, their broken heart, their sad moments, the moments of loneliness and longing about being with that person but after all that time they weren't the right one as expected, but then they can't hold all those feelings, because they put their all so that something can happen, and then they tell songs about it, write poetry and animation, make drawings of love chasing and throwing out all what they have done for that person, and still they remember it, they can't forget that, because their pride won't let that away, they want to suffer because they can express it instead of let them away, towards a never ending battle against themselves, because they can't handle all their feelings, they can't handle what happened, and they just want to finish it all at once without hearing anything else and then people feels sad because they have shown emotions, and people feels hurt because they have shown an expression of embarrassing others because they can't forget it, they can't forgive them, all because of love....

....

As you can see, it was just a matter of one person loves other person, and other people who see them. And that's the thing that I don't understand, and I feel sorry because of this....
Because: I can't help them and I have to receive all what they post, and I'm not the right one who talks about the modernized definition of love and how people usually acts because of it....
If you're using your love affair because of promotion, it's NOT worth it! And even with each stroke of line you're putting all emotion towards it..., it's not worth it. It's not.
Even if I don't fully understand it, I have a position of compassion, which means, whatever you post is a good reason for me to care about it, even if I don't respond to that. I can't give love advice, I can't give love experience, and I can't give love reason, because of that changing definition of love.

...

Just as easy as letting go of that feelings, regardless of HOW MUCH you have spent on it, I can let go and forget on what you say. But I can't, for the same reason they have acted on their love rants.... Maybe it's my rather cold and my lack of experience about social gatherings that made me not understand the feeling of loneliness while thinking of a person. But do you remember?
This month is for Love, but it is also Friendship, so...

You can say LOVE, but I can say FRIENDSHIP!!

In other words, just as you have felt sad about LOVE, I have felt sad about FRIENDSHIP, and I'm sorry to let this out
But at least I know how to finish things well, yours are making unrelated posts hiding your position, mine is counter what I said on the SAME post, and not hiding it below others....

...

Well... yours may be self-centered, but at least you want this to end. So do I. Just have to restart and make things good this time.
I don't know, that's why I can't help you! Because even if my Motivation Generation is strong enough to give, your comments are defensive enough that it can't reach my motivation.


....

That's why TIME exists, but we have to suffer if we need to, but we have to stand and not to fall again. Then TIME will make them fade away...
Don't fall again next time. Just don't.
And search for another route again.
And don't make rough promotions...! You just want people to have...

Personal lives can be more abstract-explained, and metaphoric... and you're an artist. Show it that way and don't feel like we have to KNOW everything (that's why I didn't tell everything....)

...

Be happy people.
