Well, Semester 2 of my school year began yesterday at exactly 9 AM sharp, and I have to admit I'm pretty stoked for the remainder of the school year, as I've got indisputably the easiest, most entertaining, and probably one of the most enlightening school semesters I've ever had, and ever will have from here on in. From now until June, I'll be going to school to attend the classes of English (my only academic course for the remainder of the year, and one of the few academic courses I'm truly good at), Guitar, Film & TV, and Digital Media (known in the abbreviated form of 'Digimed' or simply 'Digital' to some).
Along with the beginning of this semester, one of my long-ignored self-observations seems to be confirmed, whether my perception of it all is correct or not: it seems to me, that at the beginning of almost every new semester, I seem to lose a well-established network of acquaintances and/or strictly in-school friends; not entirely or anything, but it seems as if our interactions become less than partial.
Along with, and possibly in-part because of this, I gain a slight sense of social isolation and awkward social individualism, which in turn causes me to partially withdraw from constant interaction with what could be considered my connections in the schools perceived 'upper-class' individuals; or to put it quite bluntly: the popular and semi-popular kids.
That's not to say that they've denounced me as a social outcast or the likes, and in all likelihood this is all probably quite temporary as everyone is trying to re-integrate themselves back into a similar mindset to the one held in the prior semester: one of social and self-security, as well as overall comfort with the atmosphere at school.
It'll most likely pass within the first month, and I'll be sure to keep everyone who reads my blog updated on how it goes.

The world is meaningless,
there is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose.
All meaning is man-made, so make your own, and make it well.
Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.
Do not try to "find yourself", you must make yourself.
Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it.
Do not let your life and your values and your actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, "This is who I make myself".
Do not give in to hope.
Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which you imbue it.
Whatever you do, do it for its own sake.
When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, "Fuck You!".
Rembember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own.
Live deliberately. You are free.
