A totally unexpected random post in a totally unimportant random blog. Don’t you even wonder why the writer don’t just write this totally randomly?

I bet you didn’t expect this. Obviously, we’re talking about an unattended blog with the last update dated around four or five months ago. At this point someone expecting a new post is just a stupid moron with nothing else to do in his life, or a really really really dedicated stalker. I’m not sure which one is better. Or whether the two of them is actually different.

Of course, with a post comes a question: so what are we posting about? Honestly, I don’t know. As usual. I just impulsively open my blog and said to myself, “A HA! I’M GOING TO POST SOMETHING ON THIS BLOG!” open the ‘Add New Post” menu, and then spacing around for a minute thinking “So, uh… what are we going to talk about again?”. So there you go, you got your reasons.

Oh wait, I just found something to talk about.

Let’s talk about pressure. Or stress.

Pressure is an effect which occurs when a force is applied on a surface. The symbol of pressure is p (lower case). The upper case P is normally reserved for power.
Mathematically:

where:
p is the pressure,
F is the normal force,
A is the area.
Pressure is a scalar quantity, and has SI units of pascals; 1 Pa = 1 N/m2, and has EES units of psi; 1 psi = 1 lb/in2.
Pressure is transmitted to solid boundaries or across arbitrary sections of fluid normal to these boundaries…

Just kidding. There’s no way I’m going to spend my free time explaining about how are you supposed to divide a letter  ’F’ with ‘A’ and ends up with a ‘p’ for free.

I’m talking about psychological stress.  How do you define stress? Here, let me copypaste from wikipedia yet again.

Stress is a biological term which refers to the consequences of the failure of a human or animal body to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats to the organism, whether actual or imagined.[1] It is “the autonomic response to environmental stimulus.”[citation needed]

It includes a state of alarm and adrenaline production, short-term resistance as a coping mechanism, and exhaustion. It refers to the inability of a human or animal body to respond. Common stress symptoms include irritability, muscular tension, inability to concentrate and a variety of physical reactions, such as headaches and accelerated heart rate.[2]

…Now I’m not sure if I’m actually in a condition of stress or not. I mean, I’m not really sure if what i’m feeling right now can be considered “the autonomic response to environmental stimulus.” whatever that thing supposed to mean.

But either way, I just realized that all this blog posts I wrote is posted when a deadline is around, or there’re something else that puts me in a condition of stress. Which is interesting. Who knows, when I grow up and ends up having a son I could link this to my son, saying “Take a good look, son. This is what I wrote when I was a lunatic back then! And I don’t change a bit until now!” or something like that. Who knows.

But yeah. I guess, between college (especially that one database II exam coming in 36 hours from now), stuff at home, and now working online under the alias That one Ultimate Knight Windom loving Anonymous on the super serious business of anime fansubbing world, my life is getting a little bit stressful.

On a related note, if you can speak Japanese quite fluently and willing to translate episodes of a children television show about an asskicking grasshopper cyborgs on a weekly basis, please click the link above. I know my chance is veeeery very slim for someone to read this, but hey, never hurts to try.
