No TV
I just canceled my cable because I thought I don't have time to watch tv so why keep it. I came home today and turned on the tv and got a blue screen. Hmmm. What did I do? Well I just laid in my bed. I am observing my room and it's pretty empty and dull. Nothing on the walls, no colors, nothing. I was somehow motivated by my boredom to do stuff. I went to home depot to buy paint. Then I wanted to goto the mall to pick up those posters that the stores have as advertisement. I asked for a couple so I can cover a whole wall with this giant size poster of a model. Well, now I'm home and telling you what I will be doing today. I think I want hardwood floors in my room now too. I guess that will be another project for another boring day.

Since when can we find everything with a click of a button? This is a superstore at our fingertips. We have evolved so much and where else will go. Everything is a business. There are advertisements that suck you in. And there are silly polls that try to get your attention. They try to get your information to sell to other businesses. As people we submit to these businesses and are observed by businesses in order for them to find new tactics to draw in the crowd. How do they keep our attention? Why do we keep coming back? Sometimes we think we already know the answer. Even if we do know the answer we keep continuing like it’s a drug. Are we being drugged? Could this be a crime? These shameful business-men hooked lined and grabbed us.

Un Chien Andalou
This is a fantasy film that jumps around like a crazy man's thought process. It reminds me of some of my dreams where I am doing one thing and seconds later I'm doing something different. I don't have much to say about this film, very weird and disturbing.

Evolution
Well here is a photo I happen to run into while browsing online. I believe it's a carrot taking shape of a man. Pretty soon there will be carrot men walking around taking over.
Apples
I don't know who mentioned that apples are 3 dollars, but I went to the swap-meet and they're selling apples and other fruits for 1 dollar a pound. So I'm guessing if you find a local farmers market it will be around that price too.

In addition to my last post.
I do not recommend anyone gambling. Especially if you don't know how or have never been. It's really bad if you suck and cannot quit. If you're good and cannot quit, (good job). But yeah, there are a lot of losers in Washington state. That's why we are seeing an increase in casinos around our area. Too many losers end up with happy casinos and sad families who lose everything. But if you still have an interest in the high life of gambling I will show you how to be a little winner even though you might lose.
Follow these steps:
1. Only bring 100 dollars cash with you. Leave all credit cards at home.
2. Sign up for a Muckleshoot Players Club membership. It's FREE.
3. Go to a Roulette table "Pick the Crowded table" and exchange your 100 dollars into chips.
(IMPORTANT: GIVE THEM YOUR PLAYERS CLUB CARD TO REDEEM POINTS)
4. Don't play right away. Wait 3-5 spins until you feel comfortable, lucky, or see a pattern.
5. Test out by playing 5 dollars at a time.
6. Continue to play slow. (each roll will take about 3-10 minutes depending on crowd)
7. If you stayed there for about 15-25 spins you have probably been there close to 2-3 hours.
8. You are a winner, maybe even, or a loser.
9. Walk over to the Players Club Table and ask for a Dinner Comp.
10. If you're a winner, good job. If you're a loser, just think of it as a 100 dollar dinner. Order yourself a steak or something nice.
Game Time
5 days out of the week is game night for me. You can find me at the roulette tables from 9pm to 2am. It's almost a 9 to 5 for me, but I get to take as long of a dinner break as I want and all the steak, crab, and lobster I can eat. I feel at home when I'm there. This game reflects the real world like many other games. You pick your outcome: as you do your outcome of your life.
In the games and in the real world we have:
Risk takers - Those who aren't afraid to "jump the gun" and just go for it. But they do it with some knowledge of the situation.
Strategist - People who like to think a lot. Over-analyze
Careful/Scared - They play safe. Don't take high chances.
Care-free/Stupid - Many ways to describe this one. 1. They're stupid and don't understand things. 2. They don't care. 3. They have nothing to lose. 4. Drunk
Observers - You just stand aside and watch. Don't lose and don't win. Just watch as life passes you by.
This is just what I think. I'm sure it's not all true.

The Everyday Quote
Page 29 - Bottom of the 4th paragraph
"There is a saying that army life is made up of a lot of boredom and a couple of dangerous moments."
I picked this quote because I can relate to this. I was in the military for 6 years and luckily for myself I had not experienced anything life threatening. There was plenty of boredom to go around though. That boredom gets you prepared if there is anything of an urgent matter. And as soon as I finish school I plan on going back in; who knows I might get into that dangerous moment then.
