Weekly Photo Challenge: Nostalgic

These are two t-shirts which I bought recently from Redwolf (they have other cool designs too such as from Game of Thrones, Dexter among others). While recent, the very fact I bought them is I became nostalgic as they are the minimalistic designs of the two main characters of my all time favourite series Dragon Ball. Besides I don’t wear anything beyond black let alone light colours so people (including my mom) were shocked as well. šŸ˜€

F̶a̶c̶e̶b̶o̶o̶k̶ Internet: to Poke or to Puke?

ImageToday, what good or harm facebook does (and by extension the Internet) is a rather popular topic apart from themselves.

Like most things in the world, there are many sides to everything and not all are black and white. Here are two articles rather stories which provoke some a lot of thoughts and give quite some insight.

I’m still here: back online after a year without theĀ internet by Paul Miller.

Bartering Time

If the world worked on a barter system, how would you fare? Would you have services to barter? Would you be successful, or would you struggle?

There is a movie called In Time, in which humanity had been genetically engineered to stop aging at 25 and to be born with a digital clock, bearing a year’s worth of time, on their forearm. At the age of 25 the clock begins counting down; when it reaches zero, that person dies. Time has been turned into the universal currency; one can give time for products or services, as well as transfer it to others. A person can no longer die of old age. She/he can only die by “timing out” (running out of time), having one’s clock “cleaned” (murder by someone taking all their time), or through recklessness (e.g. getting shot, overdosing, etc.)

While the film itself is okay, the concept is very brilliant and intriguing. What else could be more precious apart from our (free) life itself? While the age limit itself can cause a fair share of problems apart from the whole deal, and without it there can’t be an established give-take as there must be a limitation to it for it to reach zero, just like having a specific amount of wealth, it can become nearly impossible otherwise. But this could be something really thought provoking.

Rolling Stone

If you could live a nomadic life, would you? Where would you go? How would you decide? What would life be like without a ā€œhome baseā€?

Not sure if I’m not already one, in a virtual sense. Being already a sort of vagabond, I actually one to travel around the world one day as a nomad. Well, adventurer sounds more nice doesn’t it? šŸ˜€ But really I want to be a PokĆ©mon Trainer Master! If only…

Love in the 21st Century

Is love in the 21st century something different than what it was in the 20th, or before that? Will it change as we move forward with time?

It’s only our perception of it which is constantly updated, changed or challenged. It might be difficult to explain, or it is actually fairly simply which is over-thought and overdone. If I have to put it:

loveĀ  /ləv/

Noun
An intense feeling of deep affection: “their love for their country”.

Verb
Feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to (someone): “do you love me?”.

Synonyms

noun.Ā  affection – fondness – darling – passion
verb.Ā  like – be fond of – fancy – adore
