Yesterday and some Random Thoughts

What happened yesterday ...

I discovered this cool site for blogging. Discovered isn't the right word though, I think a million people must be using already. I programmed a hell lot yesterday and got the job done. I plan to expand and improve on it today. Went home fairly late and, as always, was accompanied by the cutest girl in the world, my girlfriend! He. We didn't talk a whole lot on the way, think because we were very tired. On the way home, I thought a lot about the future and how it seemed so close, yet, so far. My family borrowed "The Village" and watched it after having dinner. The movie was well conceptualized and the beginning was built up quite well. The middle and ending however, which seemed to have been meshed, left more to be desired from. An Ok movie, not worth seeing twice though. Watched some "American Idol" before falling asleep. Boy, there are some real weirdos in the U.S. Fell asleep thinking bout the future again. I've been doing that a lot lately.

Random Thoughts

• Why is everyone so pissed at Bill Gates? I haven't got the slightest clue. They claim that he has done some unfair business practices; that he wants to monopolize the market; that he is greedy. C'mon! Can anybody show me a businessman or woman who does not possess any of these characteristics? Some have probably worse. The only crime that he has committed is that everyone knows about it, and because of the scale of it. So is that the problem? The scale? Hypocrisy is increasingly becoming the religion of choice for businessmen.
  

• How in the world did we get so addicted to mobile phones? I mean its borderline insane. When did it become necessary to change your unit every 6 months? Are we so pathetically lonely that we need the security of knowing that at any point in the day, or night, we can contact another pathetically lonely human being? I was almost certain that this would be a fad that would fade before we knew it, kinda like the brickgame. But it's here to stay and it's stronger than ever. Don't get me wrong, I like using it. It's certainly useful in many aspects. Making communication easier is definitely not a step back in any society, but blowing your P500 load in 2 hours is not exactly common sense. Hello? Have you heard of the landline? Did everyone forget PLDT all of a sudden?
