When I am not involved in doing anything, my mind turns to slop, I can't think straight and my blog is left untouched.
...and now a random fact about Vin Diesel http://www.4q.cc/vin/:
"Vin Diesel has always been able to find Waldo, except for one time. He found himself stumped on the last page of Where's Waldo Now?, not being able to find the Waldo without a shoe. He threw the book down and screamed, "This is BULLSHIT!" They're all wearing shoes." He then proceeded to eat the book and exclaim, "IF I CAN'T FIND WALDO, THEN NO ONE CAN!" The book he ate belonged to a child that he had borrowed it from. The child began to cry and Vin ate him for good measure. The incident has since been refered to as Christmas."
If 2 weeks of re-reading 'The HitchHiker's Guide To the Galaxy', trolling internet forums and staying in my pajamas for the whole day (and taking about 10 mins just to construct this sentence because i don't know how to spell pajamas) taught me anything, it would be that ignorance is greatly rooted in the human mind. Humans CANNOT function without assumption/ignoring/bypassing certain trains of thoughts. We are so certain that gravity would pull us down to the earth that noone bothers to go search for the answer all over again. We are so certain that by flipping a switch, light would fill our rooms so that we can see in the dark. We are so certain that we become so robotic, so predictable... going through the same routine day after day after day. Is there anyway to break the cycle? To break the mold?
What if you could float, in an instance of pure surprise in mid-air such that you are oblivious that you are falling because the physics of gravity are not your concerns at that time?
I leave you with starwars parodies:
