and she said.. "how you interpret the dream is probably more important than the dream itself"

In this day and age of obnoxious do-it-yourselfers and life hacking and self-helping and top ten lists of ways to be-more-productive, I'm mostly out in left field eating grass and staying out of the ruckus. A blog post on the internet is not going to transform your life, folks. You are an ineffectual, lazy, drunken, and mostly ugly bum. You are selfish and don't remember your friends. Your bed has only one side to it and it's wrong. You jump from dead end job to dead end job like the dead end slob you are. Don't read a MSN article today called "Ten Ways to Succeed at Life" and expect things to work out. Read Lame Austen's "Low Expectations" instead.

That being said, I got a chuckle out of this wired article - My 4-Week Quest: Be Smarter. Our hero starts with a Nintendo DS game called Brain Age designed on the work of a Japanese neuroscientist. It's meant to work (and test) the mind. You know, brain teasers, sudoku, stuff like that. After a round with the thing it will tell you your mental age. Our hero scores badly; a decade slower and older than he really is.

For four weeks he sleeps more, eats healthier, takes vitamins, and even takes blind showers. After four weeks he's scoring below his own age in mental quickness. So maybe most of the self-improvement crap is bunk.. this one, though.. maybe it is time to grab a blind fold and get down with the sickness.
