People...........?
I was playing this game on PSP: Resistance Retribution. Quite a tough game I would say. Cos the gameplay is really overly manual. I mean, I've gotta turn the character's head to face in that direction; it doesn't look where it's supposed to. Still, it's rating is one of the highest on gamespot.com.
Spent the entire day home watching season 1 of Samantha Who? Great show I would say. Charming, funny with hilarious characters like bitchy, materialistic and vain Andrea (Sam's best friend), warm, goofy and sweet Dena (also her best friend) and her Mum Regina who's a crazy mum but not the typical overbearing crazy. More like critical crazy.
Having too much time alone kinda suck because it makes people feel the need to do something. And yet, it always seem difficult to get out of the house to do absolutely nothing again. I'll probably drop by a bookstore tomorrow to get some magazines and people-watch, sip a coffee. I love people watching. Like see what they buy, what they wear, how they behave and make conjectures about their life. It's fun but it's a craft that must be mastered before executed lest you want to be slapped in the face for staring.
And you'll then understand that some stereotypes are inherently true. You can only find certain people at certain places. Like geeks will never dress too nicely, some races will always be the rowdiest no matter where. I mean it's evident in their aura. It's intriguing to notice such social patterns. Yet, in general, people resent the notion of stereotyping and being judgmental based on outlooks. It is what it is! They just reject the idea because it makes them seem narrow-minded but the truth is out there - we all belong in different categories according to pop culture and it's not an abomination to admit it. There's no ONE people, there's no ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL kinda theory. Difference is what makes us who we are, asserting our individualities. Why then, would we want to erase these unique features (unless it's less than desirable)?
This is not being racist or sexist or even marginalising any social group. I just want to make the point that it's okie to acknowledge that we're different but we co-exist in this planet; I'll try to make do with your shortcomings if you do mine. I don't have to like you because we're the same species. I don't need to understand you. I don't need to smile at you because it's a nice thing to do. I don't need to live a facade. I accept the terms that you have your agendas and I'll not do anything to sabotage them unless it affects me negatively in any way. That's all I'm asking for in life, from people. No pretenses, no hypocrisy, no getting-chummy unnecessarily. Just respected individuals living our lives with no crossing of paths.
I think I'm getting a lil too cynical here but damn, sometimes a person just needs to see the dark side of life. It ain't always a pretty picture. ¶ 10:01 PM
