BREAKING NEWS!!!
Recent studies show that using lists to prioritize may be killing you on a daily basis!!!
...
No, but in all seriousness; the process of forming a long to do list may be causing you more stress than needed and may be why you don't accomplish as much as you'd like.
...
I'm sure none of us can detest that at some point we have relied solely on lists to remember what exactly we need to get done. I can't deny it myself. But has it ever occurred to you just how overwhelming that long list is? Sure when you first go through it in your head you are all calm about it and have everything planned out but what about when you're describing the list to others or others make your list for you?
...
The Boldelair children in series of unfortunate events for instance were greeted by a never ending list of chores to do around their "home" by their "uncle". Unlike them however you wouldn't be able to accomplish such a feat in a single day. Rather you'd probably be like Cinderella on her first official day as princess. You'd take one look at the list in disgust and immediately try to accomplish things your own methodical way.
...
Could it be simpler to just run off a train of thought? Or maybe if you categorized the tasks so it didn't seem so antagonizing. Either way I can tell you first hand that piecing together a list of every individual petty job that must get done until you have a list of even a dozen things, your brain starts to overheat and you slow down getting tasks done. Haven't you noticed that the days you don't have anything that needs to be done you are exceptionally motivated to get anything and everything accomplished? Use those days to get ahead of the game. Never just sit there watching TV or contemplating life.
Always try to remain proactive and think positively of everything that surrounds you. Have a blessed evening Nightlings and we'll see you tomorrow for another mediocre rant about the random small things in life that can distract you.

Introduction of Cynic Candor
Hello Nightlings! I'm a new admin on the blog, and I'll be going by the name "Cynic Candor." As an introductory and celebratory first post, I'll be doing a "Q&A" session, to help you get to know me.
#1.) What is your favorite type of music?
My favorite types of music are K-Pop and Indie. Interesting choices, I know.

#3.) What do you want to have as a profession?
I hope to be a surgeon, either neural or cardiovascular. Up until a few years ago, I wanted to be a detective. However, some realizations in my life helped me to realize what I really wanted.

#4.) Where do you want to live as an adult?
It's a dream of mine to live in Seoul in a really nice, upscale condo. For those who don't know where Seoul is, it's the capital of South Korea. It's a pretty large city.

#6.) Urban vs. Suburbs vs. Rural?

#7.) Do you play any sports?
I partake in martial arts, specifically Tae Kwon Do. Tae Kwon Do is a form of Korean martial arts. I really enjoy it because in a sense, it's peaceful and constantly drives you to better yourself, physically and mentally.

Well that's all the questions I have to answer for now! I hope this helps you to form at least a basic idea of me as an individual and if not please feel free to leave questions below and I'll leave answers or I'll make another Q&A. I look forward to posting on the blog, and meeting all of you! I think this will be a great opportunity to expand my horizons. Until next time!

Re-Introducing the Original NightDweller
Now here's the long and short of the story. This blog started four or five years ago on another knock off site and it was purely that site. The few friends who had started the site with me had decided it was bogus and so I was left to handle it all myself. The site crumbled and so I started a new with a different group of friends on a different platform and that presented issues all it's own. Eventually that too crumbled and last April I made the situation to switch to Blogger through Google. Now a new band of friends has made a pact to never go their separate ways and here we are. Presenting ourselves to you as well as possible while remaining anonymous and trying to keep ourselves sane. Thanks for hanging in there with us Nightlings; you mean the world to us.
And now, some facts about the Original Night Dweller!
#1. Describe your appearance.
..........how can I do this without revealing myself? Hmmm..... I'm a very tall and definitely not malnourished alien species that as a baby was told would make Hitler proud. After year's of living life I have become pron to my surroundings and have learned to blend in with the common folk. i don't stand out in a crowd unless I want to but I never look the same way twice either.
#2. Things you fear.
...........the things I fear most are not the common things such as spiders or heights; no rather the things I fear most are the things I tell others doesn't bother me. I have abandonment issues and although I have grown up in a very large and loving family I have become aware that nobody you care for yourself is permanent and as time passes you are left along. I'm also afraid that one day I won't be able to hide my psychotic personality anymore and that I will be taken away just as my brother was. Only then will people understand just what an impact they had on my life.
#3. Favorite things.
..........Color: deep red, the color of overly oxygenated blood spilled over the floor of a murder scene
..........Book: Currently? Vampire Academy. Previously? The Mysterious Benedict Society. These are my choices because there are characters within that I feel I can personally relate to.
..........Music: I grew up listening to country and it will forever have a place in my heart but as people tease me on my choice more and more I become leanant to the modern pop music as well as some alternatives and rock.
..........Band: Owl City will forever be my soothing inner soul music
..........Song: Traveling Soldier By the Dixie Chics. It reminds me of all the family I've had in the military.
..........Movie: The fast and furious series. They are friendship goals.
..........Animal: wolves because of their mischievous nature but also owls because of their majestic ability in the night.
..........Holiday: most holidays honestly make me cringe because they remind me of how dysfunctional the two sides of my family are when they try to coexist
..........Food: ALL OF THEM! you have no clue, being Italian i absolutely love food and trying to create my own dangerous concoctions
.........Video Games: as I'm being exposed to them more I really rather enjoy the Rock Band and Guitar Heros as Well as DJ Hero but my all time favorite will always be the classic Mario Brothers on the Nintendo 64 and Yoshi's Island for the Super Nintendo
#4. What is your ethnicity?
..........I actually get questioned this more times than not online because I have so many strange views. I am an american mutt. I am (in no particular order) Polish, Italian, German, Irish, Russian, Puerto Rican, a tad Native American, and probably so many other things I have not been made aware of yet.
#5. What are some random things not everyone knows about you?
...........Most people are aware that my brother is autistic and that he was taken away from us for a little bit when he threatened to take his own life but what they don't know is that a few times my schools have tested me for mental problems such as depression and anxiety and so many other things I fear to name. I've just become well prepared to protect myself form things that would remove me from my current situation. Others also fail to realize that I am the way I am and know no other way to survive than I have grown into and so I don't always fit into the cultural norm of society. I am my own person. Whether that be a long forgotten Russian Heiress or a German Spy on the side of the long deceased Hitler. I just hope that people can look past what has made me who I am and see the potential of who I can become.
Well I guess that's probably enough to deter you all away from the blog don't you think? Thank you for being there through everything Nightlings. I'm going to need your continued support as time goes on and I hope we can get through this together. Leave any other questions you have for me in the comments below or try and contact me through our many social outlets.
