The illusion of choice

You believe that you have a choice whether or not to take the blue pill or red pill, but in fact, you don't have that choice at all, choices you make are predetermined set of values and variables set subliminally. In fact, you've already taken the pill before the choice has been presented to you.
The thought of destiny scares us, as we are "meant" for something, a set purpose that may or may not be apparent to us yet. Everyone knows the classic "it is your destiny, join the dark side" argument that Darth Vadar puts up but that's not enough to convince anyone. We all want to think we have control over our lives, our own destiny. To a degree yes, but you wouldn't expect a poor starving African child to become a tycoon over the course of his/her life. In the rare event that it happens, but the decision is not theirs to make.

Did you chose to read this far? Or have I made the content interesting enough for you to read? Is that my choice, or yours?

Blogs

Seems like nobody cares anymore, which is a sad fact. I, myself have more things to blog about, feelings in need to be shared, words unspoken.
Maybe it's time for me to take a break from this, seeing as how nobody reads much of it anyway.

Beach, The

Spent a fun day at the beach just on Saturday, built a nice sand castle tower, caught some waves and swam a little, ran across the sand and did that scorpion king come out from under the sand thing - which was just me putting sand over my head and then having a hard time scratching it all out.

So far, I have no sun burns (Yea!!) but if you ask, I'll show you some flesh ;).

Tee-Vee madness

Sat down, was looking through all the TV eps i've watched.... thought about the ones that I have deleted from my 500gigs of AWESOMENESS!!! But then... i remembered that I wasted 1400 hours on a MMORPG - Guild Wars and considerable money on it as well a few years ago, it lasted for about 2 yeas though.
Thought about how much I've shifted my attention to the TV industry to replace my attention towards the Gaming industry. Here's the massive amounts of TV I've watched on my pc!
Category 40 min, 20eps/Season (avg)
24 (6 seasons)
Boston Legal (3 seasons)
Desperate Housewives (3 seasons)
Heroes (1 season)
Lost (3 seasons)
Prison break (2 seasons)
Stargate SG-1 (10 seasons)
Stargate Atlantis (3 seasons)
The L Word (4 seasons)
MythBusters (5 seasons)
Ugly Betty (1 seasons)
Grey's Anatomy (3 seasons)
MacGyver (3 seasons)
Battlestar Galactica (3 seasons)
One Tree Hill (4 seasons)
Firefly (1 season)
So far Tally - 55 Seasons x 40 min x 20eps= 44,000 min of fun! (733h 20m)
Well....That's a lot of hours to be honest! NOW!!! Lets count the half hour shows
Category - Half hour shows - 20 min, counting eps
Bleach (160eps)
Naruto (260eps)
Scrubs (20eps x 6 seasons = 120eps)
Full Metal Alchemist (51)
Chobits (26eps)
Guns x Swords (26eps)
Full Metal Panic (24eps +13eps)
Ichigo 100% (13eps)
Blood + (50eps)
Sad!!! A total of 743eps of 20 min shows = 14,860 min of fun!!(247h 40m)
That's just what I have watched in full seasons, probably add another 100 hours onto the top of that so... 247.4 + 733.2 + 100 = 1,081 hours of AWESOME FUN!!!!
It's funny looking at it now, 1400 vs 1081 hours (minimum estimate) and I haven't even included the movies I've watched and some other shows that I've missed out
like....
supernatural (3 seasons) 40 min
Smallville (6 seasons) 40 min
Reaper (half a season) 40 min
Kyle XY (1.8 season) 40 min
Journeyman (half a season) 40 min
Gossip Girl (half a season) 40 min
CSI (2 seasons) 40 min
Bones (2 seasons) 40 min
Who's line is it anyway (2 seasons) 20 min
Which equates to approx 13,840 min 230h 40min
1400 hours vs 1311.6 hours
100 off of the fun times I've had in Guild Wars!!!!!! *sigh*
Lets see... If i did all those in two years.... and sleep 8 hours a day in a 365 days Which is approx 11.2% of my day consists of watching TV!!! and adding in the fact that I spend 6 hours in school/uni, out of the free time I have at home 18.4% of my spare time! of 10 hours each day every day. I watched 2~4 episodes of something a day for the past 2 years!

I think that's enough number crunching for the day!
