Happy New Year!

In a previous blog, I said that if I had to watch the ball drop at home again i was goin got be pretty unhappy: I watched the ball drop at home again for New Years so and this blog will probably reflect that aggravation. As I think back on the last year, a lot of outrageous things happened in my life. Interestingly enough, the 20-30 Story 3-dimensional rendering of the poster from Eddie Murphy's last movie was one of the most unsettiling things that I saw last year. It actually had the Optical Illusion where the eyes seemed to follow you. The first time i saw that, my only thought was "Aw Man!"

On an unrelated topic, this is interesting... If you ever have a chance, when you are in Barnes and Nobles or a similar store/ a library, Check out a book on Hypnotic suggestions. It changes the way that you see the world a bit. It seems like one of those things that you are supposed to be discriminate in who you tell ab0ut it, but then everyone knows about it except the guy who you decided not tell in the interest of ethics. Its interesting how many people very blatantly use suggestions and you wouldn't know unless you had some knolwledge of this. A lot of times it is harmless, other times it is a way to convey messages that would cause a brawl if the message was conveyed directly. Interesting to think about...
