I have to admit that I, like most other people in this time, have a habit of getting stuck in the internet world quite often. WAY more often that I'd like to admit. HOWEVER useless a lot of it may be, though, there are many things that are incredible, which I am so intrigued and inspired by when I watch them, and I would like to share some of these with you. . .
TED TALKS
These are almost all absolutely inspirational in one way or another. I think anyone could find a topic or speaker that they would love to hear and sit and watch countless hours of TED talks. This is one of my favorites so far. . . My friend, Mia, showed it to me. Both she and this video give me great, positive, and art/ culture-inspiring vibes.
FUTURE SHORTS
I really find that there are so many more talented people in this world than it seems, they just don't know how to get that talent out there. . . This series give them that chance. Again, I really feel that there is a lot of variety and range of talents that anyone could find an interest in. I hope it has made some people really famous,rich, or happy. Here is one of the ones I think deserves a little bit more attention for many reasons. . .
INSPIRING MUSIC
It might sound stupid, but you could go on YouTube, Sad Steve, or Pandora and find some seriously great music that becomes an obsession. You might not have ever even heard of the bands, but there is bound to be something that gels with you. It is rare for me to listen to one song repeatedly (I actually have a pet peeve against people that do this all the time) but this song has become an obsession of mine lately. . . I found it on one of my radio stations on Pandora.
BRAIN GAMES
I am a huge fan of puzzles of all sorts. My favorites include various word games, Sudoku, logic puzzles, and Board Games like Othello. About two years ago, I came across the website lumosity.com and I found a whole world of internet brain games. I am particularly obsessed with "Word Bubbles" where they give you a string of three letters that you have to make into as many words as possible in one minute. GREAT game which sucks time out of this world. It forced me to read a bit of the dictionary, though, which I also enjoyed! (Shh, don't tell anyone!)
CUSTOMIZATION
There are a lot of things online that are there for you to customize a product that already exists. This makes people feel more unique and proud of their creations once they're made. When I was 17, I designed my own Chucks or "Converse". I still have them today, even thought they are falling apart, pretty much. They're purple and black and have a nice skull pattern inside, and are also taller than high tops. I love them. Today, though, the design-your-own thing had gone berserk and there are a lot more options available now.
WEB COMEDY
Who doesn't like to laugh? I find this guy particular funny, of all the comics I've seen online. . . Some things happen to come off as offensive to people, but I really don't think you can take anything this guy makes fun of personally, unless of course he's actually making fun of you (which he does from time to time). Either way, this is one of the funny, non-offensive ones I really enjoy. It was the first "Oatmeal" comic I ever saw, thanks to my friend Naomi.
HAVE FUN!
