Random Thoughts

Recently I was talking to someone about Myspace.com. He asked whether I thought that he should get a Myspace account or a facebook account. My immediate reaction was that he should get a facebook account. It seemed to meet his needs the most and I couldn't say how much longer myspace would be popular. I thought about it some more, and it seemed that myspace would need to change the format to stay competitive in the future. Soon afterward, myspace,com changed its format. Its going to take a little bit more than myspace changing the arrangement of links and banner ads on the page for it to stay around...

I was thinking of watching cartoons when I was growing up. I always had my favorites. At the end of the season, there was always the option of watching reruns of all of the cartoons that I watched already, or watching a season of some other cartoon on some other channel. I probably chose to watch reruns of the same cartoons 90% of the time as opposed to watching episodes of a different cartoon that I had not seen. It would be interesting to know what that says about me. I am still that same way except that it applies to things other than cartoons now.

I was goofing around on facebook and I saw an "I hate Andre" page for some guy who has the same name as me. I thought it was interesting: Was it a joke that he was in on? Is he oblivious to this page? Its funny to think about these sorts of things...

An Interesting Theory

It has been suggested that my blog is a diary. It definitely does not explore the inner-most recesses of my mind, but I see the person's point. I had an interesting conversation with someone recently. It seemed blog worthy soooo...

I havent studied this sort of thing or read much about it, but I wondered what a friend of mine thought of this idea. It didnt receive as poor of a response as my blog about coffee abuse...
A while ago, I read an article about a person who was born with webbed feet. If I recall correctly, it was said to be a result of some sort of mutation. I wondered if that was not the case. I wondered if webbed feet was some sort of building block: Perhaps we evolved from having webbed feet and since what we are now is built on top of that, people are born with webbed feet occasionally as some sort of evolutionary glitch. I thought that this could apply to some other abnormailites as well.

The person who I had the conversation with thought that it was an interesting theory but made the counter argument that some people are born retarded but that doesnt mean that we evolved from people who are retarded. I thought that we could have evolved from beings who had similar capabilities to someone who is retarded at some point in history. Interesting to think about...
