World Cup!
15.06.2006
Yeah baby! The wold cup is here! I don't know why but I feel very motivated when I see thousands of people losing 1:45 of time of their time, and I can use that time to create/design/code/produce something. It's like doing running in a marathon and being 1:45 minutes ahead thousand of runners. It's also like all the people that watch TV and TV shows... but as it's a little bit more random I don't get that much motivated.

But thinking about it again, I got mixed feelings, I also feel sad about all those people losing that time and also giving money to the world cup organizers. Hey! everything in this world is about money, so If the organizers of the World Cup and also of all the leagues can make that thousand of people follow the cup and see all the ADs and also pay for World Cup tickets to watch some people kicking a ball.. It's a good business! I wish I was one of the organizers! Also I feel bad because, what are they going to learn? nothing.. maybe the first time or the second time they watch a match they can learn the rules, some tricks and that's all, the rest is just time lost.

Ok maybe they need that kind of entertaiment, they need to do that activity to feel better, that sounds like going to church to me :)

Next time someone asks me the usual question of "how did managed to do what you did with only 23 years?" I'll answer "Without watching TVshows and without following Football!"

hehehe...

PS: Uh, but don't get me wrong... I'm following the World Cup slighly, I don't need to watch the action, I just got that World Cup module in my netvibes which I check from time to time.
