No one is Perfect... Why bother?
I believe that people who strive for perfection are people of great value because they are literally trying their very best. Yes they will fail along the way, but isn't that what everyone experiences? To some they decide after failing so many times, they just quit.
That then leads to the idea that maybe we shouldn't try. Maybe we should just give up on a wasted effort. We already figured out that it's impossible to be perfect, but seriously why even attempt. This idea is different in each person but values is something you can't change.
Maybe we are destined to fail at everything in life. Maybe this is all just fun games for a higher authority. What ever the case may be, to some being perfect is everything. Letting go of that feeling and maybe saying I'll let this one go here and now again makes us less stressed and focusing on goals that are possible.
What do you guys think? Are we perfect beings? Or set to fail at everything. Should we bother trying to put effort in anything?

Entertainment a necessary?
Procrastination at it's finest. Sunday night trying to finish a blog right before 11:59 my night consumed by entertainment has slowed me down. The question do we news entertainment to keep us alive? If anything it is counterproductive to any sorts of work you can do.
The great thing about not enjoying entertainment is you can work longer so you make more money than your friends. You can also spend your time wisely on college classes. Overall a great choice why would you say no?
However the bad part about having no entertainment like television or music is that life would get boring. It's an obvious but like isn't all about work, there is certainly a time and place for that. It can also make you unhappy which can make you die sooner. Major unhappy face.
So what do you think? Is there a time and place for work and play? Or is entertainment everything.
Thanks!

Do blind dates really work?
My friend is going on a blind date recommended by a friend. However I do not consider it a blind date anymore because he did a Facebook search on her. I don't think that was the point of the fun of meeting someone you have no clue.
Regardless he is still going and he is excited about it. I think blind dates were a lot more popular back before Facebook because it could happen easily. Facebook not only tears apart marriages but it also stops you from a common blind date.
How many blind dates have you all been on? I'm dying alone so I don't plan on being on one but they are enjoyable to hear what happened. Do you think they make lasting relationships?

Censorship in America
Watching a re-run of Jersey Shore on tv, people on there say a lot of explicit things. Makes me reconsider my life and language now and when I was younger. Worse or better than Jersey Shore?
Should we or shouldn't we have censorship in America when it comes to language on TV? I believe after a certain time. (Basically after family hour) language should be without limits like HBO and other premium channels.
So should we have censorship on TV? What rules should we have.

Video Games and Real Life
Playing the new Call of Duty game has made me take a deeper thought into the realism of war themed video games in general. I guess you would have to ask someone who has been a battle like that. To my understanding not a lot of them are playing capture the flag for shits and giggles. To some specialists who study groups of people, they believe that video game violence can lead to violence in real life. I disagree, if anything it is a great vent from the norm life. I guess shooting people online might make you a less stressed person overall. What do you think? Does playing video games that are war themed help you feel better about your self?

Why scary movies aren't that scary.
Watching a scary movie tonight, I am not too concerned about being worried to drive home after. Soemtimes I feel the hype is the most scary part of the movie. Such as a commercial. However it is still fun to watch.
I saw Paranormal Activity 3 the other week and I thought the tensed parts in the movie was really scary but nothing in it was truly scary I think it is easier to make people laugh than be scared.
What do you guys think? Does scary movies make you scared?
