Kierkegaard Effect

A man is standing on the edge of a tall building or cliff. When the man looks over the edge, he experiences a focused fear of falling, but at the same time, the man feels a terrifying impulse to throw himself intentionally off the edge. That experience is anxiety or dread because of our complete freedom to choose to either throw oneself off or to stay put. The mere fact that one has the possibility and freedom to do something, even the most terrifying of possibilities, triggers immense feelings of dread. This is our Dizziness of Freedom. We chose to do things because we can. We fail to do things out of the same reason we achieve them. In it's simplest form, because we have the capacity to decide if we continue or if we quit.

Distaste

Al you redditer's should have already known this but once you decide to hate somone, everything they do bothers you. Whether it's just talking or physical actions, it bothers you to the point that you want to hit them. Trust me, I've hated a lot of people and know the feeling.

Views!

Fun Fact: After doing some simple math, I've found out that my Movie Reviews blog has the highest View:Post ratio being 33:1. I've also concluded that my Miscellaneous blog is the most popular with 714 page views and counting. That's about a 16:1 View:Post ratio.

Dreams Come In Triplets

Remember that dream you had last night? Maybe you do, maybe you don't. The point is, you had a dream. On average, when a human being falls into the third level of sleep, about an hour in, they start having dreams but they only last a few minutes even though the feel like hours. For every dream you can remember, there are two that you can't. Dreams come in triplets.

Disrespect

Some people can just be so rude. I was watching a documentary on Ellis Island earlier this week and an elderly women was tell her story of when she was a child. As soon as she and her family got to their apartment she said her mom says instantly "This is America? Why did you bring me here?". Well lady, I guarantee that it was better than the slum whole you were living in before. America didn't have to accept you in, you applied to enter the nation.

This was actually supposed to be a fact about Ellis Island but I got sidetracked, oh well, I'm keeping it.

Accents

Sorry being two days late.

Accents are differences in speech, usually from other regions. Everyone knows a British accent or an Australian accent, heck, even an American Accent. In their native regions they aren't accents at all but just  normal speech to the people there. Accents aren't permanent either. You can grow up in England and move to Indiana. With enough time away from the roots, you'll pick up an American accent and lose your British accent.

Summer

Summer get's to you and it makes you lose track of time and also keeps you from finishing your work. Like this Friday Fun Fact.

Using one post to make up for two is completely normal and acceptable. It is... Don't criticize me...
