HEY THERE! Welcome to Life Noggin!
Hey there! Welcome to another episode of Dear Blocko!
This is the show where I answer your questions that you have about your world and my world!
First question up!
#DearBlocko:
Why Am I SO Lazy?
I feel ya, friend — I was feeling lazy all week and kept putting off making this video.
But alas, I got it done! Ya know I probably was putting this off because of all the dread i was feeling. A lot of world events kinda happening right now.
making me, um, kinda anxious
Anyway, don’t feel too guilty about feeling that way though — some recent research suggests
that you might be feeling lazy and procrastinating from important tasks because of your amygdala!
The amygdala is a part of your brain that helps control your emotions and motivation.
And apparently, if people have a larger amygdala, that can cause them to get anxious about the
negative consequences of an action and therefore cause that person to put off doing it!
Now, while we all feel lazy from time to time, if you are putting off doing various tasks
because you are finding it very difficult to accomplish them, and you feel fatigued
and are losing interest in things you used to enjoy, these might be signs of depression
and you should speak to a doctor right away.
Next question up! Risto asks #DearBlocko What are Fever Dreams?
Well, Risto, a fever dream is a term that’s often used to describe a particularly vivid dream, often
one that’s very disturbing, scary, or emotionally intense.
a Fever dreams are also categorized by an increase in body temperature, hence the name.
While fever dreams are a pretty common thing in pop culture nowadays, there’s not a crapton
of actual science on them yet.
Yes, “crapton” is the scientifically-accurate word to use here.
However, a lot of what makes these nightmarish dreams so bad seems to be associated with
that increase in body temperature.
Your body’s a pretty well-oiled machine, and elevated temperatures throughout your
body and brain could throw off your normal cognitive processes.
It’s interesting to note that fever dreams may tend to have less social scenarios in
them, instead opting for things like the world burning down around you or everything you
touch melting away until you’re left with nothing but the empty void of existence.
The typical fun stuff.
But hey, for a more optimistic vibe, maybe one day we’ll all wake up and 2020 was just
a fever dream!
Wow, wouldn’t that be amazing!
Somebody slap me!
Anyway, now it’s time for questions about me and my world!
Rami asks Dear Blocko, are you and Circlia still together!
Yes actually!
Circlia and I are still together!
In fact, I have some BIG NEWS! We’re engaged!
Circlia, you wanna tell them how it happened?
Circlia: Well first he took me up to the top of the Life Noggin world’s tallest mountain.
The view was amazing!
….and then he threw up.
Blocko: Well, you didn’t have to include that part.
Circlia: Why?
It makes it more fun!
Anyway, Blocko invited several dangerous monsters
for me to fight, which was so nice of him!
Blocko: I even got to fight one!
Circlia: Sure.
You definitely fought one!
Circlia: Then he had a skywriter write me a very sweet message in the clouds.
Unfortunately Triangle Bob was flying the plane and messed up the message.
But it was still SO sweet!
Blocko: And then I got down one knee and popped the question
Circlia: Of course I said yes!
….and then Blocko threw up again. Blocko: Aw c'mon!
But all and all it was very romantic!
Blocko: We better start planning!
