Well, it's mainly hormones, it's about this time young males of all types go out and do their species own version of dressing up in Goth gear and pretending to be mysterious and dark, possibly with Ninja ancestors

I suppose whether you believe in evolution or creation, you have to admit that the Human Brain is a incredible machine, but it's still being carried around by a body made the same way as an animals, with all the built in 'cycles' and chemical triggers etc, that's why self-control is important

the answer is no. I have my hands full. my attention span has dropped a lot lately, however.

If you were referring to my post, uhhh, the Elysian Fields are a happy place where the sun is always shining....

Just to make this post more constructive: Self-control is important, but it is equally important for there to be outlets in which people can shed all self-control for a period of time. Only through the periodic celebration of irrationality can rationality be maintained for the rest of the time.

Well, being cynical, I would say that's what we invented War for

Seriously though, you are right, complete obedience is as stifling as complete Anarchy is self destructive. We do need an outlet, that's what spring is all about. It's the season for doing really stupid things to impress people. Sports were invented, basically, to allow young males to impress girls and compete against each other without, where possible, it turning into a punch-up It still provides the same function, with about the same level of success against punch-ups

I'm told by reliable sources that its just as bad for the females as it is for the males.  Which is ..uhh...maybe a good thing I guess.

Trouble with our messed up hyperpaced world is that we ignore these cycles far too often.  Being aware of them doesn't really help much...just in an academic sense.

spring brings out my inner child.

My inner child is about 6 and has ADHD.

In short, yes.

But I wanna impress other young males too!:( I'm not restless during spring, I love spring; all those flowers blooming and the sun shining gives me an immense sense of tranquility. And makes me horny as well.:devil:

Everything ever invented by man in all of history was done to impress girls.

Don't we all...surprisingly hard to find.

Funny thing is, if there were a bunch of girls having a conversation, they'd be saying how hard it is to find sincere boyfriends, who don't just want a shag. (Though of course, it is true that there are girls who 'just want a shag' as well - no harm in that).

The mistake most people make most often here is judging by their opinion of themselves, not the other person's opinion of them

Yeah it all makes absolutely no sense a'tall.  But thats gender communications for you.  Its rife with contradiction.

Honestly, I'm just feeling sort of apathetic at the moment. Partially because I'm just waiting for the school year to end, as it doesn't really matter anymore as I've already been accepted to college, and the only classes that really matter are Calculus and College English, and those are only important since they'll get me out of basic classes next year.

Maybe because it is rather hard to get someone to tell you the truth about his opinion of you....
