Or maybe this is just a hint to the readers that I would love some feedback! ![]()
I would love to conduct an experiment on Facebook and just try to change my birthday in an inconspicuous way and see if anyone knows when my real birthday is. After doing this, the people that didn’t say happy birthday would be dealt with. I have a pretty good and strong feeling that max 20% of my “friends” would actually know my birthday and post on my wall or give me a message if it were my actual birthday and of the rest, 65% of them would probably just do it automatically on the “fake” date and wish me a happy birthday.
Now this can have its advantages, you can test to see how many birthdays you can have in one year and see if people finally actually catch on, you can have fun finding out who really doesn’t know you at all and how stupid they are for saying happy birthday at least twice in one year. But then it can have its disadvantages because then you can’t really have a birthday celebration on the date of your actual birthday because people won’t believe its your birthday because Facebook tells them otherwise.
You might know that saying from the movie by Adam Sandler in The Waterboy. At the beginning of each semester that I’ve had during high school and even during my time at UofT, I’ve always said that I could do it and that this term would be different. I know that it won’t be different. I will slack off. So instead of trying to promise myself that I am going to do well this term, I’ll just slack off. This way with whatever grade I get back I won’t get disappointed, instead I’ll be happy with whatever I got because lets say if I did bad, then I would say “I didn’t expect much from myself, meh” and if I do well, then it’s quite obvious that I’ll still be happy. In the end I will be happy regardless. So instead of saying that I can do it. I am saying that I can’t! Dammit, who am I kidding? I’m going to work my ass off this term lol. I also found this when I was looking for the link for the Waterboy.
When the film was released in November of 1998 it was preceded by the trailer for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999). Many Star Wars fans who weren’t fans of Adam Sandler paid the full admission price and sat through the trailer then left the theater.
Would you walk out too? I know I would :p
Living, dreaming, thinking of life. Today, I lost myself, my priorities, my body and my mind. It happened for 10 minutes. I lied down and thought of a different life, living a different life and getting entranced from that new life. I felt I went somewhere for a brief moment, for another brief second I felt that I wasn’t even on Earth, I wasn’t even in this solar system. I felt like I was traveling in time, through a wormhole to another solar system and connecting my mind to theirs, without them knowing. I was seeing other people’s lives, their daily routines, their friends, a bit of their life was connected to me. But then in an instant of a second all was lost and I was found dumbfounded in front of my computer. I had just logged out of facebook and I was stalking someone… it’s good to be back to being me.
