Blog #4 Amazing Hour

I found the amazing hour very difficult. Not because I feel I am obsessed with my phone, nut I do not like to be left alone with my only my thoughts. Although some people might argue that it is the best feeling, I do not. I often overthink many things for no reason. When left alone with my thoughts all I did was overthink. This led me to anxiety, then fear, then a depressed feeling, and finally a very light sleep that did not do anything for me since I woke up the next day tired as can be. Not having something to distract my undiagnosed ADHD made it very hard for me to fall asleep since I was overthinking any possible thing.
           
            The second night I tried the amazing hour again, this time instead of sitting alone in my bed with my thoughts, I turned on Netflix. Though this may seem to be going against the point of amazing hour, it worked really well for me. Movies and TV shows are something that interest me very much, but even if I am not watching them, I enjoy having the background noise. Without the noise, all I can focus on is the loud hum that the vents make as the hot air travels through them, or the creaks of the wood frame of my house settling. All very eerie noises that I would not like to hear before falling asleep.

 I may not have done the “Amazing hour” correctly, but the name is deceiving. For me the time spent away from electronics, only to collect my thoughts, was very ominous and unenjoyable. It is said it is supposed to help you, but I did not feel helped in any way. It made matters worse. Which is why I tried my own form of the “Amazing hour” the next night.  I found my own form of the "Amazing hour" to be much more soothing than the one we were told to try. I shall end this by bringing up the phrase "To each their own." I had to find something that works for me, which is not always the same as what works for everyone else.

On Tuesday in Holmdel the superintendent of the Kenilworth Public schools was charged with relieving himself in public early on Monday morning. School officials report finding daily doses of excrement by the track. After receiving information from High School staff and athletic coaches of human excrement near their practice fields, the SRO and school staff monitored the area to catch whoever was doing it. Turns out it was the superintendent named Thomas Tramaglini, 42 of Matawan.             I think that this local issue is very credible. It is not hard to think the superintendent of Kenilworth Public Schools was defecating near a high school track. The reason that I believe this is credible is because multiple people have come forward to say that it was him. The sting operation set up by the SRO and school faculty was a success as they found him pooping on their party. I actually think this is quite amusing and the fact tha...

Since the Trump administration has taken over, the controversy of Global Warming has come into play. Trump is a firm believer that Global Warming is  Fake News.  Donald Trump is described as a  Bullshitter,  which in the words of Harry G. Frankfurt in his 2005 book  On Bullshit , is much worse than what people say he is. A Liar. As a bullshitter, Donald Trump wants to discredit evidence of the past, and have people believe what he is saying. He does not want people to know the real stories behind what he says, because then it will not fit what he is saying. Well, the same thing goes with Climate change. Science has proven to a reasonable extent that Global Warming is real.              According to NASA multiple studies show that 97% or more of climate focused scientists agree that the temperature increases over the past few decades are extremely likely due to human activities (2018). In fact ju...

I am Bowlerboy14.               I want to start off by saying all of this stuff you have written sounds great, but you are not really my type. I am into girls.             I am only 5’9”, and I have 2 eyes, fairly normal sized. But I am into girls that are shorter than me. Tall girls tend to scare me a little bit.             I buy all of my clothes designer at the highest price possible. I am a vegan animal lover that is very high up in PETA. I am always frigid when I sleep, and I tend to sleep in sweatpants and long sleeves. I also like to keep my socks on when I sleep.             I like short girls. But not too short. Like the type of short where you can rest your arm on their head, or when they try to hit you in the face they have to...
