Randomness

I was thinking of the "Trip to the cornerstore" experience recently. You are not supposed to stand around for a long time, but it seems that most people who are standing around don't have a bad reason for doing so. It seems like most people who stand around don't want people to know what they are buying/hoping that everyone leaves before they buy anything. There is a guy who is fingering through porn b/c he doesn't want people to know that he is there to buy liquor, there is a guy who is checking out the alcohol b/c he doesn't want people to know that he is there to buy porn. There is some guy who is standing around to give those two guys a hard time... (this is one of my less serious paragraphs)

At some point in the recent past, I was flipping through the channels and saw the Titanic movie from 2006 on the TV guide. I thought it was really interesting that it wasnt DiCaprio/winslett one. Apparently another titanic movie came out right before that one. I guess that sort of thing happens but it struck me as interesting...

Late Nights

I have very erractic sleeping patterns so I end up watching tv at random times of the night. Lately I linger on that show Smart Travel sometime (I think thats the name of the show). There is a lot of content about Villages/towns that are relatively untouched since Medieval Times. It definitely changes what I think about to see 5 Castles from medieval times that still exist on television every day... The only buildings that I ever see that impress me are from 800+ yrs ago. Technology has improved a lot but buildings havent been the same since they stopped using catapults to get workers/builders to the top of buildings...

Video games are interesting today. The graphics are a lot better, but the most interesting thing is how the complexity of the games has improved. I am not sure if its Correct to say that Video games are more "Intelligent," but the if-then of it all is a lot more complex/realistic than it used to be.

Hmmm

Because of a mixture of not being able to find a job despite submitting thousands of applications, not being able to field all of my e-mails b/c of my accounts getting hacked, not having most people's phone numbers b/c of my accounts getting hacked, not getting aqny cooperation fromlaw enforcement, etc, if you want to locate me it will probably have to be under some overpass in the near future...

Hmm...

I was reading a book that had a lot of obscure facts in it recently. It said that lemmings jumping off of cliffs in mass is a Myth. So..if you ever see a bunch of lemmings running off of a cliff...Thats highly suspect...

Finding me

If you want to find me on facebook.com...You should look under "Andre Shannen." It is spelled that way to avoid confusion: No other Andre Shannon's name is spelled that way... I have another account on there that i have not completely set up yet and am not likely to respond to...

Out of the Loop

I remember when that Matrix movie came out and the technology for the 100 agent smiths was a big technological advancement. That was a while ago... I imgaine that people are not nearly as impressed by that sort of thing anymore...What is the newest most advanced special effect?

If someone attended the same school as me it is a good conversation starter. I am not especially "Frat" about that sort of thing in and of itself. I am a bit more "frat" about UCLA...even though I have had serious problems with the administration my experience with the student body was generally positive so it means a bit more...

Have you ever had a situation where someone said something that might have been offensive but instead of being offended your first thought was "Who taught you that?? Where did you hear that?" If I had a show I would have a segment about a parrot that repeats "suspect" conversation of its owners when guests are visiting. This causes so many problems that they give the parrot away at the end of the show and the next time the segment airs its about whoever they gave the parrot to the last time...

I think that a lot of good ideas are never taken seriously because people are mistaken about who or what they apply it to. The person is onto something but wrong in that particular instance so the idea doesnt make it. A lot of good ideas dont make it because they are part of a Bigger theory that people no longer believe in. I think that the one good idea that was tossed out with the rest of the theory is a good thing to remember (I have a specific example in mind that I won't mention).

Someone mentioned that I talk about the same thing a lot in my Blog. As long as my account get hacked among other things I will propbably continue.

They really go out of their way to make video games realistic these days. If you shoot someone on a video game, its like they play a voice track of someone who got shot in real life. Thats pretty intense...

RANDOM MEMORY- When I was in 6th grade, I was a lot taller than the other sixth grader. Some of the other sixth graders would get sick of me and decide to "fix me." (This was around 1990/91, age 11) They would tell the best fighters in the 7th and 8th grade that I said something about their mom and wanted to fight them. I was constantly getting confronted by some complete stranger about whether i wanted to fight him or not... At some level that has never changed...
