This year (including the films yet to be published) I have watched 141 films, not including repeats. That is a lot of films if you think about it, roughly 2.7 films per week, at an average film being 100 minutes long it totals 270 minutes each week.
In a week there are 10080 minutes, thats roughly 6720 minutes awake.

This past week I tried to convince someone that their ‘normal’ and or more precisely conforming to the idiom “you’re unique, just like everyone else” and not to be unhappy because they think they are wrong. In doing this I jumped the the rationale that it’s all in the stars so I thought perhaps I’ll look into this in a lesser extent to …read more »
Presented with a choice everyone searches their past for similarity and uses that experience to form a decision. We instantly weigh the benefits to ourselves ( we’re all introspectively selfish ), our family, friends, our wallets, so on and so forth.

You can imagine this list, perhaps whittle of a few lines as I have already done, so I ask where on this list would ‘the stranger’ come into it …read more »
