I have started adding tags to all previous posts. This will make them easier to search and what not.

I have been reading a few sites regarding wealth creation, among other things, such as ZenHabits, Get Rich Slowly and others. It seems to me that they all have a 'richest man in the graveyard' mentality. Save every cent you can, just so you have it. I think its ultra important to listen to this advice, especially if you have debt problems, or problems controlling spending.

My Top Tips:
Learn to communicate. A lot of the problems I see or encounter come about through a lack of communication. Either people are afraid to say what they mean or they just start talking with out thinking about what it is they are trying to convey.

Drink Green Tea: Take a look at some of these benefits (Although I'm sure they can be contested, the potential benefits make it worth it)

• Anti Cancer Properties.
• Increases Metabolic Rate (Have it right before working out for maximum calorie burn).
• Possible anti -diabetes effect.
• Boosts immune system & mental alertness.
• Lowers chances of cognitive impairment.
• Lowers stress hormone levels.

Its pretty much confirmed by now that I am the worlds greatest salsa dancer, ever.
Sickness has reigned supreme for the last week, which has its advantage i suppose, can't go out, can't spend money (Although this month for the first in ages ill come in under budget).

Caught in the Web:
This article deserves a read. It sums up why people in Australia are turning to torrents to download thier tv shows, rather than watch them on tv. Basically people hear about shows and want to see them, the networks buy the shows, but will not put them on then because Americas rating season is our off season, so they hold onto them and then when they do show them it is sporadic at best, filled out with recap episodes. I think it is summed up best with the quote:

How many people do you know with DVD box sets of Arrested Development, Firefly, The Sopranos, or Lost? Ok, now how many of those people discovered these shows via television or via the Internet?

Although I would replace Lost with say the West Wing, because Lost got excellent (although poorely delayed) coverage on Australian broadcast tv.

This is a wierd game that is strangely addictive.

Self Improvement Link of the week:
I haven't had a chance to look at it indepth but Investopedia looks pretty good, it even has tutorials, which are more valuable than money. They cover a lot of stuff that should be taught at high school to everyone.

Review:
The final episode of the Sopranos aired this week. It was controversial in that it elicited a huge, dividing response from fans. Some people love it, some hate it. To discuss it involves spoilers so if you haven't seen it and care stop reading.
The episodes starts with Tony still hiding out (last episode New York declared a war with his family). He tries to find out where the New York boss is hiding by contacting a friend in the FBI. He manages to set up a meeting with the acting boss, who agrees to let Tony kill the boss, which will put an end to the hostility between the families. Tony also meets with his uncle, and tries to council him, but realises that he has lost his mind completely. When the boss is taken out, Tony is able to move back home, where he sets things right with both his families. The final scene (which generated the controversy), showed Tony, his wife, daughter and son sitting down in a diner, having a dinner. There is a sense of dread as indictments loom over Tony, and there are several characters shown acting in a suspicious way. The series ends with a fade to black, and ten seconds of the black screen.
My Opinion of the end: It was perfect. The Sopranos often left things hanging, because not everything in life can be wrapped up neatly. It allowed the viewer to project what ever ending they wanted, Tony was arrested, shot, lived happily ever after. I think that it was not the end many people wanted, it was unlike Goodfellas or the Godfather where every wrong is righted and all is fixed. It was more human though.

Don't listen to those who say 'It was crap', unless they offer a definitive reason, ignore them. They would only be happy if Tony killed all of the New York family, went back in time and saved his family (Sil, Bobby etc) only for them all to be killed by the russian from 'Pine Barrens'.

As AJ said in the final episode "Focus on the good times".

The King of All (New) Media

I was asked recently why I believe I am a god. After much deliberation, and researching on what exactly a god is, I suppose my answer is simply because I believe.
I choose to believe I am a god, in much the same way billions of people choose to believe in a god. It comes down to how I see myself and what I will become. I think that I am everything I should be at any point in time. This doesn't mean I am perfect, it just means that, to quote another God, "I am that I am".

My new workout routine has killed me, my calves are destroyed, whenever I get up it hurts like hell, they relax after a while but its insane. I'm not really complaining though, i do like the new routine, I have a day on my legs, a day on my back and a day on my arms. Its been almost a week since I wrote that, my legs did hurt for ages, although they were joined from time to time by my arms, chest and back. I have to go tonight and destroy them again. The things i do to maintain my divine look.

Weekend Update:
Wow, another pretty boring weekend. It is self imposed though as a means to save money. i hung out with Lana, watched a fair bit of DVDs, went out to dinner and gym'd it up.
Elaborating on the dinner, we went to the mall, a little too early for dinner, it was still pretty busy everywhere so we decided to have a coffee. That led into another so we emerged right around dinner time. This was great timing, unfortunately we were presented with a closed up mall. All the cafes & restaurants we thought would be open had all closed up, before 7:30. So we were left to choose between the big three. It's frustrating, if for no other reason than during winter the clothes are nicer, its just that you never get a chance to wear them.

Caught in the Web:
Ok, apparently scientists have discovered kryptonite in Serbia. It is not, unfortunately a part of Kal El's home world, it has the same name as the rock that Luthor steals in Superman Returns. It is sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide, the person who discovered it Google'd it and found out it was in the movie. I think its a cool story but i think its the kind of story that reporters dream of just because they get to be creative with the title.

• Superman "S" stands for Serbia?
• Scientists unearth Superman's "kryptonite"
• Superman Should Avoid Serbia
• Can Lex Luthor be far behind?
• Kryptonite Discovered; Adamantium Remains Elusive <- My Favorite because the person is obviously a fan of comics.

A follow up to this story is that scientists have discovered the most earth like planet out there, its large than earth, its about the same temperature and it orbits a Red Sun. Sound like Krypton? This leads me to think we may soon know if we will have super powers under the red sun of krypton, much like kryptonians do under our yellow sun.

Its 2007 right?
I'm serious, go and get the paper just to double check.
It is?
Good because this threw me into doubt. A high school that STILL has segregated formals. What The Fuck? I'm not kidding. This is the most insane thing I could ever think of. I was going to blow up about this but I really shouldn't, it is so weird, I cannot fathom how this was still going on.

Review:
The Sopranos
This is going to be a tough review. How do you review a show that changed the way television is made. That seems like a big statement but its true, without the Sopranos there would be no Lost, Prison Break, Deadwood or even Desperate Housewives. The Sopranos was unique in that it showed not only the big important stuff in the characters lives, whacking people, shaking down business' etc it also showed the most mundane ordinary parts as well, which humanises the characters and helps the audience connect with them.
The show revolves around Tony Sopranos and his two families, the one with his last name & the friends of his. Tony suffers a panic attack one day and has to go to therapy. This sets up the premise of the show, Tony trying to balance his personal life, family, mother, therapy etc with his professional life which includes taking control of a New Jersey family.
The story comes from hassles of everyday life, with its own unique twist. Tony fighting for control, against the feds, trying to work with New York are each mirrored in his family life, which makes it relate-able to the lives of the audience. The characters are shown as human, having to cope with even the smallest problems, despite being involved in organized crime.
