My views on reading and cooking, in graph form.
Assumptions:
1. I am equally pleased with the book/movie I have read/watched
2. I am equally content with the food I have made/ordered.
3. Money is not an issue.
Green is good, Red is bad.
Analysis, Data and Results
Figure A:
Figure B:
Conclusion:
You will notice that B, the quicker/easiest solutions are the winners.
I’ve been clean for about a month now.
And life is good. Actually, it’s awesome.
That is all.
I brought this up before but I wanted to clarify that I’m completely serious. I hated Chinese school and piano lessons as a child partly because I was forced into it and partly because it was boring. I eventually traded piano for math school (Kumon), something I had to convince my parents to do. I guess they figured either would be good but I believe that because I CHOSE math school, I enjoyed it much more.
For my kids, I’d probably give them the option of playing video game x, y or z. Let them decide what they want to do, so they don’t hate it for being forced.
I figure that on night A, they should get the option to play Tetris, Kirby’s Avalanche, Tetris Attack, or Super Puzzle Fighter. All 4 are basically the same premise: get specific arrangements with color/shaped blocks to survive.
I think these types of games help with quick thinking, quick decision making, short term planning, short term memory, and finally reaction time – all of which are good skills to develop.
Night B would be some other games. Super Mario Kart to teach them how to drive. Super Street Fighter to teach them how to fight. Contra III: Alien Wars to teach them how to survive alien wars. Okay, THIS whole paragraph was a joke…(but the rest of the post thus far had been serious).
I would play my kids and destroy them until they eventually surpassed me. Much like Samurai Nanjirou trained Echizen Ryoma (Prince of Tennis) or Fujiwara Bunta trained Takumi (Initial D) or Sai trained Hikaru (Hikaru no Go).
I think we’re all thinking 1 of 2 things here:
1. Warren, this is the most ridiculous post ever. I can’t believe you’re serious. I have lost all respect for you.
or
2. Warren, your kids are going to hate you.
I’m prepared for both.

wahoo !!!!! i finally got my wacom 4×6 drawing tablet….4×6 !! so small…but if 4×6 is 400$ and 6×8 is 700$, i think i’ll save the 300$ for the extra 2 inches….maybe when i have more money, i’ll get a bigger one…. damn…400$….it was this or ps2….and i chose this….better be worth it !! – from azn_prometheus

You stupid child! Not only is your writing awful to look at but you’ve made a worthless purchase! In less than 3 years, you’ll start playing World of Warcraft and you will realize that the pen does not work with the game. The tablet will become a $400 mousepad until you realize that you should just pack it away. Once packed away, it will never again see the light of day. And the PS2 you didN’T purchase will leave you so behind in games (FF9, FFX, FFX-2, MGS3, KH1, KH2, …) that you’ll never be able to catch up! And you’ll be playing Megaman 9 and Megaman 10 because it’s short and you can pick it up and drop it anytime and not have to play until you find a save point cuz oh wait, you have work and you wanna build websites and read books – not even novels, textbooks. Oh god you are lame.
I just watched “Burn after Reading” and not only did it make me wanna rage during the movie, but I’ve got a lingering hate from all the unnecessary profanity that my poor ears had to be subjected to. And my optimism that the movie might get better faded when the credits ran and I felt sheer disappointment. And a movie where everyone was cheating on everyone else made me question the sanctity of marriage.
*In normal tone*
On another note, this rage made this last post easy to write.
*Back to angrycomical tone*
…but STILL I’M ANGRY. Time to read more fanfiction…soothe my nerves and mend my heart. Who’s got the love that makes me BELIEVE IN IT AGAIN? <3 Shikamaru and Yuri <3. That's who. Chapter 8.
I have not been capitalizing, re-reading, editing, etc. This is not something I want to pursue going forward. It not only makes it more difficult for you, the reader, to read but it also makes my content less relevant. If I don’t care, why should you? I’ve corrected most of my previous posts. Bad habits should not be encouraged any further.
*slaps own hand with own hand*
SELF FIVE. Yeah, you know it.
