Monday

A little confession...

I have to say that there was one thing about the new version of the movie Pride and Prejudice I liked. It was just a moment when Lizzie and Mr. Darcy are fighting in the rain - when Darcy is actually trying to propose and Lizzie lets him know what kind of a man she thinks he is. The moment is almost about to end to a kiss but I guess in those times kissing wasn't supposed to happen until the permission from the church.. But the fact that the kiss doesn't happen is the thing that makes me like that scene. I wish that whoever-she-is wasn't Lizzie, because I liked the BBC version Lizzie more and this one has weird, too big eyes and a jawline I've never seen on a woman. She's weird.

There is one other movie that has the same kind of effect. The almost-kiss happens also in Identity. I guess I like the tension in those moments and find myself happier when nothing happens and lets the imagination run the rest of the story.

Those things help me sleep.

Unlike the fact that I played Natural Selection for the whole weekend, more than 10 hours a day. I hunted aliens in my dreams.

That's the reason I didn't make it to school in time.

Getting Lazy

This following text is a product of my thoughts and do NOT represent the thoughts of the people in my country nor its government:

I've come to the conclusion that the better my life goes the less I whine here which means I "blog" only sometimes.

There are three things in the world today.. three little things that piss me off:

1. The "lost world" they recently discovered somewhere in Indonesia. I bet than in six months the place is ruined by the rich people who want different kinds of house plants or unique pets. And dear reader, money gets you anywhere. It's beautiful, untouched, unpopulated forest; there's no evidence of human impact. There are no trails up there, but I bet in a year you'd find a "decent" road. The worst part of this otherwise happy event is that some of the creatures the team came into contact with were unafraid of humans. The team says it did not have time to survey the area completely and they intend to return later in the year. They also say it's within a protected zone. Bah, I say! I wish that place had never been found. It kills me to see the state this poor little ball of ours is heading to.

2. The offensive pictures that have hurt the muslim people. Geez, those were not even bad! I've seen worse! Most of the people who thought of it as an offense were people who are VISITORS in that (and the "western") countr(y)(ies). What gives them the right to cause trouble? Besides, they do much more damage that a few pictures that aren't even funny (nor offensive). I'm not a religious person so I don't understand the fuzz. I wish they'd make nuclear weapons and blow themselves in the air (no.. wait.. they don't even need nuclear bombs for that..) I believe that the less people being able to make a fuzz about little things. They say that their religion is the only pure one. What religion lets people kill other people! And I'm not talking only about islam. And yes, without being a racist or anything close to that I'll state my opinion and it is that THEY are the troublemakers. I'm sorry to not to be brainwashed by any religious bullshit, but that's really my opinion. It's funny that a fable (and religions are fables that we have learned) can do so much trouble. I was raised christian, but I've somehow ended up with the thought that religion itself is the deepest evil humans have produced. Look what the people before us have done when "God" or "Allah" has told them to do something "for the greater good". Where the hell did they drop all the values of human life? When did that happen? Why do we "need" religions?

Don't you friggin' stupid people understand that there's no life after death, no ghosts, no soul. We are just hairless monkeys and we die and rot the same as all the other animals. There's nothing else to it. You just rot. There is no heaven or hell, no place for the good nor the bad. Nothing. When you die, that's just it. Get over your stupid prophecies about the judgement day and the rest of the bullshit you've been fed with all your life!

3. The Avian Influenza. I'm sorry to be so harsh on some unfortunate people (because yes, I do consider myself fortunate for living in a country with decent medical services), but I'd be glad it it killed at least half a billion people around the world. Actually the world would be a rather happy place if the influenza would manage to kill TWO billion in the areas the birth rate is at the highest. Why do they make children when they obviously can't feed them? I'd like to have kids one day, but I won't be makin' them as long as I can't afford to feed them. All these countries depend on international help but won't do anything to help themselves. Just whine. And make more kids (to secure their elder life). HA! Charity and helping are good things but some of the countries (like mine) are in trouble themselves. I'd say let's help ourselves first and then help the others. Think about the diseases that ran on this planet before - or the wars. . Imagine the amount of people the millions of people (who died) would have produced if nature didn't give a little helping hand or someone else... And the amount they'd produce.. and so on and so forth. Do a little math.. And remember to thank the Chinese people who finally understood the damage overpopulation would do to their country and the people, not forgetting about the economy. Now they are really smart people.

By the way - how can it be that the people in Africa, where human life is supposed to be originated - are starving when there has been life and learning human beings for much longer than up here? I just don't understand how it can be possible - the fact that our little country that has had life for a couple of thousand years is doing better than the ones that have had life for 30 000? What makes us so different? Is it something similar to the difference between the Neanderthals and Cro Magnon? I'm not mentioning this to state that the "white" people are smarter. Not at all! I guess smartness has nothing to do with the color of your skin but the chances you get..

I just have a lot of (stupid) questions and thoughts and can't find the answer.

Don't get me wrong, I value all life on Earth despite the different looks and different kind of brainwashing people have received in their early years. I'm just terribly worried. Mostly about the planet itself. I hope that the avian influenza would be the solution of overpopulation - the main cause for all the trouble we're going to be in a few years.

And remember, dear reader, these thoughts are mine and are a result of one kind of a brainwashing. So don't do as SOME have done about a few stupid pictures, eh?
