I thought about aliens again. I wondered about what would happen if we were visited by friendly aliens, and then I decided that that is almost as bad hostile spacemen. Think about it, if we were visited by a friendly alien species, who would of course be far superior to us, the first thing they would want to do probably is engage us in trade. That would be fucked, that would quickly lead to economic collapse. The aliens would be able to more efficiently and quickly produce anything we needed, soon our civilization would be redundant. Still civilization collapsing isn't quite as bad as being eaten.
What I haven't thought about today was studying or impending exams. My exams feel like there ages away and I really can't be bothered studying at the moment. I have absolutely no energy to do anything at all today. Having no energy isn't fun, actually its fucking shit, even though I should be doing stuff I am not. A lack of motivation is probably why we haven't been invaded by Aliens yet, there probably sitting around in there spaceships saying fuck that I will do it tomorrow. Energy is one of those weird things that you sometimes have, and other times you don't. You can't really explain where energy and motivation to do shit really comes from, sometimes its there, and other times you aren't physically able to do anything productive. Apart from possibly saving life as we know it having no energy does have some good points which I have been thinking about now.
Having no energy means you don't get bored.
If you have no mental, physical or emotional energy you can't really get bored. If you can't be bothered to do anything, your not going to be frustrated doing fuck all. Boredom occurs when you have heaps of energy and motivation and nothing interesting to do. Being bored is not fun, and it can often lead to you doing something stupid, and / or dangerous. When I am bored I generally find something interesting to divert myself with like throwing the Styrofoam ball around my room, going for a walk, pulling apart a pen, reading a book, or watching something.
Being motivated doesn't really get you anywhere.
People would like you to believe that if your motivated and you work hard you may get somewhere in life. For most people this is a complete lie. Being motivated and working hard will most likely lead to disappointment, and having your dreams completely shattered. In 10 years time most people will have a job, doing something boring, repetitive, and probably in the end completely pointless. If your lucky you might get paid well, but then again money won't buy you happiness.

Wow, on the subject of motivation I really haven't anything else to say. I could think of more things but right now I don't have any energy and can't be fucked. A teacher from my school who was debating coach once told me its a really good idea when making an argument to always have three or more points. He taught me that if you only have two points to your argument always restate your first point to make it three Today I won't do this, because I don't want to waste your or my time. By the way, on the subject of time, Time is an amazing song by Pink Floyd. The start, the middle and end of that song are fucking amazing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYiahoYfPGk&feature=related
Pink Floyd is a fucking amazing band, there music is so amazingly experimental, but not so experimental that it makes it sound crap. Pink Floyd is the sort of music that you have to play really loud to get the full benefit of. Comfortably Numb is another great song. (I am not listening to Pink Floyd at the moment, I am listening to Dire Straits, in case anyone was interested.)
