TV

I love the fact that I no longer need to own a TV or have cable to watch my favorite shows. You Tube, and many other sites provide endless entertainment not too long after the show is aired. And the best part, NO ADS. Or you can get all the commercials you want.

Bored in class, no worries why not catch the latest episode of prison break. Eating dinner or lunch alone, no worries Friends is with you. Those of you who have not discovered the wide word of TV or who aren't sure if you will like a certain show, watch it from the comfort of your own laptop.

Why are you reading this when there are so many more entertaining things to watch?

Alone

We are all alone. We are born into this world with nothing and as nothing waiting to be absorb the world and grow and we dead shrived up or in a random way alone. We don't get to take anyone with us, no matter how much we love them or how much they love us we really are alone. Don't get me wrong we can convince ourselves otherwise because we feel the warmth of others and of their love but at the end of the day its survival of the fittest, its life then death. All the things in the middle are just details and are what keeps us going but they are unpredictable and they aren't guaranteed.

Why is it that the warmth of love keeps us going? Why do we automatically get lifted when we know someone cares about us? If its so strong then why doesn't everyone embrace it and care for everyone else? Why are we sadden by loss when we know that is the ultimate outcome. Our loved ones will leave us, and we will leave our loved ones.

Technology Everywhere?

We are all pretty used to have different technologies just about everywhere. Before McDonald's used to have slides and ball areas for kids however we are now used to these play areas being taken over by Nintendo game areas and computers. Even airplanes have personal tv's and on demand entertainment. Classrooms have been transformed offering distance education with online lectures or pod casts (lectures on your ipods). There are even class lectures on tv. How profitable is that, the university charges you more and doesn't even need to have a classroom or chalk its all virtual.

Today at dinner I learnt that even churches are bracing technology. In television I have seen masses where religious people old books with hypes and joyously sing in praise of something they believe in. I found out today that churches no longer use hyme books but rather powerpoint presentations. How awesome is that? That one of the longest things which has survived throughout this world's choas can also brace technology. How cool is that.

D & B I love you DD: Cant wait for my ltq hug

Classes Cancelled

Every Monday I have class at the bright and early time of 9:30. I actually really enjoy this class but I think that I would appreciate it more if it was later in the day. This particular morning I was feeling super tired for no apparent reason and was debating going to class. I ended up convincing myself that I should go to class and learn something. So after much effort I was walking into class when I noticed a nice little typed sign saying that my class was cancelled. I didn't know if I should feel happy because I could go back home and nap, or if I should feel mad that I actually made it to class only for there not to be class or if I should feel concerned that the university still made me pay $13 for that one class which didn't happen.

That is right every class is worth a grand total of $13. Which makes you not want to miss many but really do you pay for each class in university or do you pay for the end credit? I mean for someone who never goes to class but passes the course he didn't really lose anything. Where as the person who went to every class but failed lost all their money. So how can one associate the money you pay with the end result of a credit and a piece of paper?

Good Morning

Everyone wakes up on different sides of the bed. However just before they do so there is always something or someone who ends up disturbing their REM cycle or lack there of. There is always something negative associated with wake up calls, alarm clocks and sometimes even the sun which wakes you up. Don't get me wrong, when you have a meeting or a event in the morning we'd all want to wake up and attend these things.

I think the method you wake up in the morning greatly determines how your attitude will be throughout the day. If you get woken up in a soothing manner or by someone you love or by the smell of something you enjoy then your day without doubt starts off well. On the other hand, if one has a loud annoying buzzer every morning then one can see how this would be painful.

I personally love to wake up to the smell of nice food and especially coffee/chai. I don't know what it is about smell that just makes me smile and anticipate a good day. The problem however is that means someone had to wake up before me to make it. This is probably why for Mother's/Father's Day breakfast in bed is so appealing. If your a grouch in the morning try switching what wakes you up, even if its the beeping from your alarm

Just one of those times

Ever had a series of unfortunate events which just blow up in your face? Ever think that things are finally on a smooth path then get stuck in a ditch or encounter a do not enter sign.

Throughout life I have always pondered about that light at the end of the tunnel. Is it really something happy and better or is it really a train? Do we believe it's something good only because if we didn't we'd have no reason to live? Or do we think its a light because we see those around us suffering worst than us? Would we think differently if we didn't see them? Do we evaluate how bad or sad or mad we are in relation to something constant or to the people around us?

What also makes us get out of those ruts? Is it that we are finally motivated not to lie in our own shit pile? It is because someone shows they truly care? Is it a some sort of miracle? Or is there a complex mental process which helps us cope and move past it all?

Either way we all have one of those days, weeks, months, events but hopefully we all have someone in our life who loves us and who will give us the hug, punch or support we need to head back on this path they call life.

Its going to be ok. I love you and I'm not letting go
