The ultimate weight loss plan

Lose weight? Nothing simpler!

So, you finally admitted to yourself that you might have a slight weight problem. Meaning you're just a tad overweight. No too much, obviously. OK, maybe too much. Anyway, you've become aware that it's no longer cool to just ignore the fact that the clothes no longer fit you and others call you names. Like "fatty".

Religulous (2008) review

Religulous is directed by the same fellow that did "Borat" and it's co-authored and presented by Bill Maher, a Catholic Jew crossbreed. What's to be expected from such a mixture?

Yet another bitter "comedy" about this very world, regarded as a final product of religions for the masses. The true genius of the movie resides in the critique of the religion of man, the metaphysics left aside, with divine (!) modesty, where it belongs: the ineffable realm of the "I don't know". If it would have given to the usual atheistic crap, "Religulous" would have been crap itself. In turn, it achieves bitter magnificence.

Zeitgeist Addendum (2008) review

Controversial, this one, as was to be expected. The Google PR of 7 for the movie's website goes to prove that it got many people talking, regardless of the angle each takes on it. And that kind of distribution is always a sign of success. Here are some potentially useful points of view on it.

What it is to be normal

To be sane. Can this still be achieved? Should it be defined by statistical means as the state of the majority?

We've been thought to dream, "dare to dream", we're encouraged to go forth and dream of things. We've been told we're all beautiful and smart. We've been lied to. And no one tells us to be good. And that dreams are sometimes dangerous chimeras robbing you of your very life, especially when dreaming the trivial that cannot be acquired. That's not normal.

Degeneration

Affects everything around us, us. There used to be moments I could not escape the feeling that we are racing on the downward spiral at full speed. Now the sensation is almost uninterrupted. Everywhere I look, all around, I see the signs of it.

Types of ad consumers on the web

Better said, types of "victims" you can pick when advertising on your website. Talking about advertising that requires positive action in the form of clicks and about who you should target with it so that the clicks will abound.

The thing about personal development

It's so damned personal!

Yup, personal development still is, unbelievably, so darned personal. Self betterment still is so much about the actual "self". "Personal" and "self" still are the keywords here. Who'd have thought that with all this new technology one would still have to take personal development personally? Shameful.

Micro-blogging

Public micro-blogging is exactly the crap that was missing for an even more irrelevant web in an even more hysteric world.

Who doesn't need such useful information and insight:

11:47 wiped ass. you?
11:48 forgot. any one knows what's a kundera?

News intoxication

No one knows it better than the sufferer, the recovering sick man I speak for.

reddit, digg it, fave it, share it, tweet it, blog it, ping it, track it back, IM it, mail it. Track it, don't let it slip. Scan both ways, hunt it high & low, stay informed, breath it in, fill yourself up.

Democracy fails

It's not like it ever had a chance. The only way democracy would have stood a chance, ever, was if people knew what was good for them. That's obviously not the case.

Ten men

Take ten mature men (or women, if you prefer), of all intelligence levels and from all walks of life. In short, amass ten ordinary folks. Now say one of them is absolutely brilliant, a genius. Two of them are highly intelligent, hard-working, with a good grip on reality. Two others are just hard-working, physically strong individuals, decent folk that enjoy life for what it is. The rest five of them are not that happy working, not that brilliant, often vile and usually discontent, in constant need of guidance.
