Sictir uman

De multe ori gresesc caci uit de prezent si sunt prins de vraja viitorului pe care mi-l imaginez ca o sa-l treiesc. Sunt obosit de probleme viitorului si nu mai am timp sa fac fata problemelor din prezent. Conflictele sociale pe care le port cu cunoscutii ma doboara cu incetul si imi dau seama ca in viata toata lumea greseste doar ca unii mai mult, altii mai putin...
Ce este o relatie interumana care isi are definitia bazata pe ceva sec si stors de seva vietii? Se mai poate numi prietenie slabul joc actoricesc a doua persoane care se joaca de-a prietenii in cadrul unui maraton de "soarecele si pisica"?
M-am saturat de prefacatorie, de minciuna si mai ales de abisala prostie care domneste in jurul nostru!

P.S. Trebuie sa trag neaparat o concluzie... Plictiseala e grav daunatoare sanatatii (fiind probabil un prdus din sare, zahar, grasimi si alcool in versiune excesiva) si te poate sa debitezi chestii ca cele de mai sus. De asemenea putema debita mult mai multe dar a intervenit un alt factor care se intelege bine cu plictiseala si anume lenea. Asa ca...

Bye All

HA-HA

Seriale

Din lipsa de ceva entertaining intr-o seara (pt ca hai sa fim seriosi, filmele care apar re-filmate in cinema sunt imposibil de urmarit de aceea si re-make-urile sunt mai slabe caci un film e menit sa fie filmat o data) an inceput sa urmaresc un serial despre care nu mai auzisem nimica pana in acel moment. Si bine am facut!
Serialul "Heroes" al NBC este o combinatie reusita de SF cu aventura si suspans. Nu am crezut ca acest serial vine cu ceva nou ci e doar o variatiune pe tema X-Men. Ei bine, desi au multe in comun cele doua serii (chiar si capacitatile unora dintre cei cu "daruri" sunt identice) ele se despart divergent la capitolul bun-simt. Desi nu lipsesc efectele speciale in Heroes nu acel vartej de actiune in care de la inceput si pana la sfarsit totul este o explozie FX care devine evident plictisotoare la un moment dat mai ales ca in acele momente de actiune, lupta si explozii, in esenta, nu se intampla nimc! Nu evolueaza firul narativ ci doar astepti sub rafale de flash-uri daunatoare retinei sa il omoare pe cel rau, dar nu inainte ca eroul sa ajunga cel putin o data la pamant si sa isi aminteasca de o femei, un camarad sau cine stie mai ce care a fost ucis sau distrus de eroul negativ chestiune care sub evidenta unui cliseu cinematografic actioneaza ca o fabrica de Red Bull asupra eroului, ii da noi sau ii reface puterile si astfel iese invingator.
In Heroes se intampla mai multe cu eroii, si, desi are scene de actiune multe, aceste nu au posibilitatea sa te plictiseasca. Un alt aspec al serialului este ca, in ciuda faptului ca dupa o privire de ansamblui e trasa mata de coada ca in orice serial american ca atata timp cat are rating trebuie sa existe, acesta are un ritm destul de alert si ai impresia ca lucrurile evolueaza cu o viteza cel putin decenta spre deosebire de alte idei bune precum Lost care a ajuns sa fie plictisitor tocmai datorita certitudinii data publicului ca "asta nu o sa se mai gate".
Una peste alta, este un serial bun si captivant mai ales pt serile cand alternativele tale sunt filmele cu Steven Segal reluate la infinit de televiziunile romanesti (poate acum ca am intrat in UE trebuie sa le invatam pe de rost... o fi vreo clauza ceva colo) sau un film "de cinema" filmat in cinema care nu poate provoca decat nervi si marirea dioptriilor celor care au deja ochelari sau punerea "bicicletelor" pe nasul celor care vad (inca) bine. Totusi trebuie sa mentionez ca e un serial "tanar" (a aparut pana cum ep. 4 din sezonul 2) si are deci tot timpul sa plictiseasca in final ca si un Prison Brek care se numea tot asa desi in sezonul 2 nu mai era nimeni inchis sau un Lost in care ei nu mai sunt "pierduti" de mult ci par doar pur si simplu prosti ca nu pot pleca de pe insula aia! (Fanii acestor seriale sa ma scuze caci si eu le urmaresc chiar cu o cantitate considerabila de placere dar trebuie recunoscut ca am oarecum dreptate.)
Asa ca daca vreti sa lasati "filmarile" filmelor in pace si sa vedeti ceva seriale (evident americane dar "moderne") care sa vad si bine (Thanks God for HDTV!) va recomand siteul

www.tvblog.ro

care contine suficiente detalii despre ce a aparut, apare si va aparea la televeziunile americane putandu-va face astfel o parere inainte de a va apuca sa "faceti rost" de ceva ce s-ar putea sa nu va placa!

Saluti!

Yes! But it was funny, ha?

Olimpiada de la Beijing

Fiecare competitie sportiva ce se desfasoara la fiecare 4 ani (Olimpiadele, Capionatele de Fotbal) au avut si vor avea mascote. Fiind un eveniment mondial in sine (chiar si CE de Fotbal e un asemenea eveniment) si datorita desfasurarii doar din 4 in 4 ani aceste manifestari sportive tind sa devina de o importanta economica uriasa si deaceea statele se "razboiesc" intre ele pentru a intra in gratiile Federatiilor Sportive Internationale in speranta gazduirii urmatorului asemenea event. Spuneam deci ca economic sunt importante... adica ai cui sa vinzi dar ce? Ei bine aici apar mascotele, logo-urile si toate dracoveniile alea care te fac sa cumperi brelocuri, cani si set 1000 pungi de plastic doar pentru ca sunt "de acolo" sau te fac sa te simti ca un adevarat suporter indiferent de sportul pe care il susti.

Mai sus se arata in caricaturile postate de unde vine logo-ul Olimpiadei ce se va desfasura in cel mai important stat comunist inca existent. Macar acuma daca cumparam un suvenir nu o sa ne mai socheze, ca si o sapca Ferrari sau un tricou cu Chelsea luate din Italia si respectiv Anglia, ca pe suvenirul tau scrie undeva micutz dai imposibil de ratat: "Made in China"!

Things To Do When You're Bored

This List Includes:

• Things you can do with absolutely nothing
• Things you can do with very little
• Things you can do with another person

The amusement potential for each activity is denoted.

Things you can do with absolutely nothing

Push your eyes for interesting light show
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
See a variety of blobs, stars and flashes. Try to make out things-is your subconscience trying to send you a message? Can you control what you see by pressing different areas with different forces? Would it be possible to somehow see the same effects on TV?

See how long you can hold your breath
(Amusement Potential: 4-20 minutes)
Not that much fun, but it sure passes the time. Play with a friend, or try to beat your own personal best. Some tips: hyperventilate before hand, and stay as still as possible. My personal best is 2:00 (exactly).

Try to not think about polar bears
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
This is especially hard, because by trying too much, you remember what you were trying to avoid thinking of. If you try too little, you end up thinking about polar bears anyway.

Scratch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Go ahead, scratch yourself now. Even if nothing itches, go ahead. Doesn't that feel pretty good?

Hurt yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
What is pain? Why is it unpleasant? There's nothing physical about it - it's all in your mind. Plus, after pinching yourself for awhile, boredom will seem nice next to being in pain.

Try to swallow your tongue
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
There's not much to say about this one. It is possible.

Look at something for awhile, shut eyes, study after image
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
Another great time waster. It takes about 30 seconds of staring to create an after image, and the image is then viewable for about the same length of time. Fun to combine this one with pushing on your eyes.

Get yourself as nauseated as possible
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Best achieved by looking straight up and spinning around. Try to be so dizzy you can't even stand up. This is also entertaining due to the "makes boredom seem a lot better" effect (see "Hurt Yourself").

Things you can do with very little

See what's in your neighbor's trash
(Amusement Potential: 20-30 minutes)
You can learn a lot about people by what they throw out. You might uncover some dark secret about them. Plus, they might be throwing out something with value that still works, like a VCR.

Watch TV, repeat everything said in Italian accent
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Sort of entertaining. Fun to pretend the people on the screen are actually talking that way.

Call up people who write editorials you disagree with
(Amusement Potential: 15-60 minutes)
I'm surprised no one has thought of this before. Unleash your fury on the person who had the nerve to write a letter like that! I'm pretty sure it doesn't qualify as a prank phone call, too.

Make prank phone calls
(Amusement Potential: 20-60 minutes)
Very entertaining, but requires discipline. Remember - vulgarities don't make a call funny, but getting the other person to believe a ridiculous story will. Even more fun if you get a bunch of people on the line using a Wonderphone and take turns making the calls. One to get you started off: Call McDonalds, try to make reservations.

Pretend all humans will die except for people in room with you
(Amusement Potential: 10-20 minutes)
What would you do if this really happened? Would the group stay together, or would there be factions? Who would join what group? Remember, there would only be power for a few days before the plants ran out of fuel or broke. To travel, you would always have to be near cars to siphon gas out of. Best to do with people you know.

Step off a curb with eyes shut, imagine it's a cliff
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
To get any benefit out of this one, you have to have a good imagination. Don't step off immediately, build up to the jump. Study the ravine below. Feel the winds at that altitude. Step off and...AHHHHHH!!!!!

Burn things with a magnifying glass
(Amusement Potential: 5-30 minutes)
Ants are always fun to use for this, but burning the face of someone you don't like, under some circumstances, can be just as entertaining.

Things you can do with another person

Have a water drinking contest
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
While the competition is fun, you probably won't feel too good afterward. To give your event an old western theme, slam the cups upside down on the tables after you have emptied them.

Stare at the back of someone's head until they turn around
(Amusement Potential: 2-5 minutes)
This works on the "I have the feeling I'm being watched" principle. Conduct an experiment-does this really work?

Have a "Who is less competitive" competition
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Trying to win at this will make you lose. Trying to lose makes you win which makes you lose. Not trying at all makes you lose which makes you win which makes you lose.

Pick up a dog so it can see things from your point of view
(Amusement Potential: 3-5 minutes)
Think about it: your dog has only seen the house from a viewpoint from 6" to 2' high (15 to 60 cm for all you metric fans). It's never seen the tops of counters, what you keep on your desk, the tops of shelves, etc. Try looking at things from its point of view, too.

Pull out a hair, stick in someone's ear
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
Best done to sleeping people. Added challenge in having no one else around, because then you can't blame it on anyone else. Try to beat your record number of times before the person catches on.

Pour water in hand, make sneeze noise, throw water on back of person's neck
(Amusement Potential: 5-15 minutes)
Always a good gag. For an even bigger reaction out of the person, act like you're not sorry at all for what they think you did. Comment instead on how big that sneeze was or about how there was a lot of mucus in that one.
