European Soccer

Recently I’ve been watching a lot of soccer, and one thing I noticed is that european soccer has changed… I remember a friend of mine telling me that european soccer was so much better than mexican because players didn’t spend the whole game crying over little fouls.

So there’s two options: a) Players are becoming more delicate. b) Players are becoming less respectful and more aggressive. I personally think it’s “a)”, watching slow motion footage, you can easily see that they barely get touched and they fall down to the ground and start crying, when you compare it to NFL, you can easily see my point.

iPad!

Apple announced the iPad today, it’s so cool, and now I’m confused, don’t know if I should get an iPhone or an iPad…

Bullshit of life

I just watched a video of Jacque Fresco (the guy behind the “Venus Project”) and made me come up with a list of words that are bullshit:

-Religion
-Democracy
-Politicians
-Laws and lawyers
-Monetary system

Also, I want to share some quotes that are really good:

Then there’s another bullshit word that’s gonna hurt a lot of you, love, now let me tell you what’s the matter with it, is there anybody perfectly satisfied with everything you’ve done? Off course not, so sometimes you like yourself sometimes you don’t, sometimes you like your self very much some times you dislike yourself, so, when you get married it’s the same thing, sometimes you love your husband or wife very much, sometimes a little less, sometimes not at all, so love is a fluctuating thing, not a fixed thing. — Jacque Fresco.

That one doesn’t have to do much with the subject but it’s an “eye opener” so to speak.

Let’s take god for example, the old guy, sitting up in the clouds, who knows everything, he’s omnipotent, you don’t have to tell him anything, he invented every bug, every tree, every galaxy, and then Jesus preceded to insult him, here is where he insulted him: before they crucified Christ, he looked up and said “father forgive them, for they don’t know what they do” and god said “gee I didn’t know that”. — Jacque Fresco.

Irony huh? And here is my favorite one related to religion, took this one from Zeitgeist the movie:

Think about it! Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ‘til the end of time! - But He *loves* you. — George Carlin.

Not getting the Nexus One

Today Google announced the Nexus One, I had high hopes, but I’m really not digging it much… the only two things that I liked: the camera, they sell it unlocked.
