It finally dawned on me - no one is ruining my childhood with the silly remakes/reboots. I'll always have those. They were fine, done, finished. Anything else this much later is just ruining someone elses childhood.

That's how I try to look at it. It's still kind of hard to sit and watch knowing "This will be someone's first experience with (insert series here) " and probably ruin for them. There is always exceptions, sometimes remakes/reboots can actually turn out awesome. One that comes to mind was the Judge Dredd reboot

Went to a pizza place. Order slice of a special desert pizza.(you can order the pizza like if it was a buffet but have to pay for each slice)  Guy tells me it's free cause it's too small and according to the place they give aways slice that are too small and also it was the last one. So i decide to buy a portion a fries with that. again it's free cause the fries been there for too long. 

So i went back 2 weeks later and decide to buy 1 pizza. I order. then procced to wait until it's done. the clerk tells me. Your pizza stuck to it's mold and now we have to give you 2 slice for free. you can leave with this pizza or you can wait for a new one.

So yea i got free food 2 times in a row at the same place

this is a Japanese commercial (has more substance than a Hollywood blockbuster)

 

 

 i guess the positive thought is that it's never too late to learn - it just comes down to what motivates you

 

00:00 (Announcement) "Father of the Bride will send a music message to the Bride."

00:30 Groom "I'm surprised that your father can play the piano."

00:57 Bride "Stop it."

01:09 Bride "Stop it plz..."

01:13 Bride "The song is...Why you play it..."(Past scene, Bride's mother played CANON when Bride was a child.)

01:35 Bride "Sloppy..."

01:45 Bride "Play gently at the part..."

01:55 (Funeral scene, holding the remains of Bride's mother.)

02:05 (After Bride's mother was dead, Bride fell out with her father.)

02:13 Bride "Though you are awkward..."

02:48 Bride "You can do it..."

02:54 Bride "You can do it."

02:59 Bride "You can do it, Dad...!"

03:12 (Message) Music is able to surpass Word.

While I tend to avoid most pop music - I find the Japanese have taken western instruments and music and given us westerners something new to appreciate. I find many examples playing games created by the Japanese.

 

Final Fantasy is an obvious one - I can sit in the car in XV and just ride around listening to all the music included from earlier releases. Enjoyable and relaxing. Thank God for the Japanese. They still know how to take time and not make everything like an assembly line....

"Let’s make no mistake here; this is a commercial for Banco Sabadell. And, yes, it’s a majestic, highly orchestrated flashmob organized by one of Spain’s largest banking

 

Oh.

My faith is not restored, People'll stick faith into politics, politics into faith, but it's really all about money.

OTOH....

It very cleverly used this concept to show the 'fundamentals' of banking. A young person puts in a small amount, and over time it grows, and the longer this happens, the more she gets for her money.....

 

Regardless of the actual video, I like music, so watching a form of choreographed 'jam' session growing was fun.

I liked the 10,000 Japanese singing better. More inspiring.

I mean, they had to learn and pronounce German perfectly (the soloists were fantastic)

And 10K people harmonizing damn near perfectly must be a (well it's hard, anyway)

And they weren't singers on some lunch break, they must have practiced.

WHY they practiced is another matter, I do not know that..

O.

Plus I am getting real tired of messages couched into subtext.

But that's just me.

"It's a wonderful Life" vs "A Christmas Carol"

It's a wonderful life usually wins, but they are better financed

Positive thought (o geez):

I'll edit this. 

I'm getting dyslexia in my dotage, it consistently says "The POINTless thought thread"

For many years I used to blame the 'No spanking' as reasons for problems with the youth of today. But with some insight, and other information, it's good to know I was mistaken. The so called problems are more a form of generational bias, added to increased population, technical capabilities and social awareness. I used to despise what I viewed as the 'dumbing down' of today as well as the concept of catering to the lowest common denominator.

 

With so many trying to grasp so much, I look at it more as trying to get everyone on the same page. Only then can we move forward.

 

I found this interesting and reading between the lines, can be applied to many areas of thought.

Western women are like Spam.

• easy to open container
• the meat is dubious
• it’s only palatable if properly prepped
• too much of it will make you sick
• expiration date of 30 years

Mentally exhausted right now. Got started late and coming up with that much bs for an essay is too much work! But, I'm glad I got it done....on time. I might just graduate after all.
