Blast From The Past: June 18, 2019

Nothing Matters Jun 18, 2019 Nothing really matters anymore. There’s nothing worth anything. Here we live and here we always will be. Why should one bother with that which they cannot change? However, there are things in life which you have the ability to change and have control over. Change those things and you will be able to see something better in the future because of it.

Formatting a Date in Java

For some reason my installation of Java wouldn't let me use SimpleDateFormat to format my dates. So I had to google a different way to do this and found the following works as well. The Date class has a bunch of issues with it to begin with, so this is much cleaner and better as well.


LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.now();
DateTimeFormatter df = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MM/dd/yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
String formattedString = df.format(ldt);

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened.

Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

What's The Point?

 So, tell me, what is the point of believing in a spiritual supreme being? I often wonder what that is all about. I know religions say that God, as some call him, is our father. We pray by starting with our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Yet sometimes it feels like he is absent from our lives. Is it due to how we are living our lives? What exactly is the cause of that feeling? Some people believe that God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are one person. Others do not. It is interesting to me to see what all churches believe in. I myself do not go to church. I don't believe in organized religion. I have my bible on my phone, so it's me and my bible. That is my link to God. It makes me wonder if that's enough though. I have faith in Christ, I believe in him. Is my faith sufficient to be forgiven of my sins? I do not know. I do know that wherever I end up in the afterlife, I will have done my best to follow Christ. I believe the scriptures which lay out Christ's...

Depression

 Depression is not something to be taken lightly. Having Major Depressive Disorder, I can only hope for a better future. I get it a lot of people wish to have a better future. There's nothing wrong with that. I don't think. Why not wish for a better life? If wishing works, let it work. Personally I wish the voices would leave me, but it's not as simple as that. They run amok from time to time. My only hope is that they'll get a clue. Yeah it's crazy at times that's for sure. If I could, I'd wish them upon no one else.
