Racism

Image
      Racism is a serious issue as illustrated in both ‘ Crash ’ and White Privilege , all my life I have not believed racism to be a factor in my life, or my classmates’ lives. It might just be that I grew-up with the opportunity to be a part of racially diverse schools, but I don’t believe that to be the only factor. Pictured above; racial diversity I’ll be honest I grew up with no true understanding to what was happening around me, which I believe to be the only way for an 11 year old to live.  So when I met people of other races, I just saw people, no preconceptions. The Baconian Fallacy in empirical reasoning is when you bring preconceived notions to the table and that’s what racism boils down to, assumptions. John Ritter’s character on 8 simple rules said “When you assume to make an ass out of you and me;” in the end that’s what racists do they make asses out of themselves and anyone who believes them.       "When you...

Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging

Image
   To be honest I’m kind of relieved to be diagnosed as an ISFJ, I don’t know what I would do if I was diagnosed as an extrovert. Functionally I’m quiet with strangers, to the point that when people ask me questions, and I don’t answer hoping they were talking to someone behind me. I am very talkative to close friends and certain people in general. I tend to be more open with people, depending on the attitude they extend to me, guess that’s the sensing part. As a kid I used to get along with larges masses of people great. I practically thrived in those situations as a kid, but as I got older I just don’t react the same in those situations. after a certain age, urinal talk  just isn't endearing             Apparently my personality types are good and caring leaders, I would just like to add, only as a last resort. It’s not that I make bad decisions; I would just not take the power even if there was someone else...

Sticky Notes

Having an inner child means a lot of things to many different people, for Tom Hanks it means having amazing keyboard skills , or for the people of Japan it might mean erecting a life-size version of something that represents made-of-win decisions. To me however an inner child is useless psychological jargon. I mean what would an inner child have to do with me, an eternally youthful/childish individual? I mean we have all seen people busting their humps off for things that have intrinsic worth, at the cost of their happiness.  I used to reassure myself that I would never be one of them, but what was wrong with being like them? Apparently you would be sad whenever it's 1:10 PM 1 week ago I had a tedious job of annotating a comic book, not one of the first things someone decides to do with a comic book. It was tedious because I wanted to annotate every page, tedious because I had used 2 sticky pads for that job, tedious because I knew if given a choice I probably wouldn’t be doing ...

Introduction

Picture courtesy of Danny-9 Hi My name is Zamran, I was born in Lahore in 1993. I spent most of my youth in Karachi, and only moved to Lahore back in the 3 rd grade. Currently in my life, Bangkok has become sort of a second home for me, due to my father’s work. My dad heads the Southeast Asian division of his firm, so the best way to spend time with him is to go to him. I have 2 sisters – one older, one younger, both of which I credit my odd childhood to. I have many hobbies; from spending time with friends, playing football, basketball, reading a good book, reading a bad book, reading comics, watching anime, and massive amounts of other hobbies. I think a good reason I have many hobbies is because I’m very open minded, and I have diverse interests. One of my all time favorite stories is One Day by David Nicholls, easily one of my favorite books from my recent reading. The book has great pace, loveable characters, but perhaps its most attractive feature is Nicholls tra...
