I just saw "The Secret" and wow. As one said, "People seem to have one of two reactions to The Secret. Reaction one: “This is BS.” Reaction two: “This just cleared up everything for me, I feel a new beginning in my life.”
After doing research on all the "professionals" they had on the show revealing "the secret" to us are actually no one of any large respectable organization or history. There was a random school teacher.. and even a "Metaphysician"?!?! do you even know what a Metaphysician is? Think about it.
I felt that "The Secret" is a mix between a "Guilt-Crutch" for the middle class to not have to feel bad for people that have bad things happen to them or are in bad situations themselves. And also a mix between this theory that "If you think positive thoughts and "Ask, Believe and Receive" then you will get what ever it is you want. WTF!?! As I was told.. EVERYTHING required work.. you have to work to get where you are in life. Unless you were born into it.. you have yo bust your ass.
The movie was pretty much telling you that as long as you THINK and BEHAVE with a Truly positive mentality and visualize what you want in life.. that some supernatural force of Attraction (wich they kind of compared to quantum physics in the beginning of the movie for some kind of validation) will give you what you want. .and it will come to you as if you are a magnet of good things.
This movie is for people who believe greatly in Karma, and and it feeds on your gullibility to that premise and the movie tries to make you FEEL GOOD. So at the end you feel that this has changed your life in some way.
It really hasn't revealed anything other than trying to get you to buy the books.
This movie is not for people who are strong minded, self directed thinkers, and people who know that the universe is a chaotic place of chance, luck, and random events, that are driven and partially guided by your own ability to see and avoid such circumstances.
This movie to me.. uses the same groundwork that Scientology uses, and many organized religions today use.
And I am not telling you to NOT see this movie. cause I would be a fool to think any of my friends would be weak minded enough to just take my opinion alone on it.
I will give you a free copy to see so you can see for yourselves.. but I would feel terrible if you spend 30+ bucks on a film, that has no real cinematography, music, plot, character driven story elements.

Frustrated
So I turned 32 last week. I don't feel much older physically or mentally really. Emotionally... maybe. I noticed that care less about trivial things.
And when I say "care less about" it may be that I am just more picky about those things and not sure why.
Women: for some reason women have really meant nothing to me. Not sure why.. but when I look at them I don't see them as most other guys would. As I told my friend the other day.. when I start talking to women.. regardless of who they are... they would more likely annoy me before getting my interest. It isn't that most women are annoying.. I am just saying that i would reach a point of annoyance before I get interested. I feel this may have to do with my ex. I have been single for 6 months and I felt I was ready enough to move on after our mutual breakup. I guess I probably was ready, but wasn't fully prepared. At least that is what I think it is. Cause last weekend she went out with some guy on a group date to try and "get to know him better" you know.. the whole "beginning stages" of getting to date someone. That was the proverbial nail in the coffin. Not that I had reason to be upset. But it was a definitive "lets move on now" kinda thing. Well besides finding this out on Monday, on top of it being a bad Monday and on top of one of my female friends loosing my utmost respect because of her lack of willpower set me in a pretty irritable mood. A mood I am not used to feeling.
Friends: There are some friends that I care for a lot for. I hang with them regularly. Some how I feel as if the link is gradually weakening and I don't know why. It started with David.. and he stopped showing up because he started a new relationship.. which for some reason means he can no longer hang with friends. even on weekends when he isn't working. I know what it is to be in a relationship with a women that wants nothing more than your 100% attention. I dated one for along time. And I did what I wanted none the less... which could be why I am single now.. but I am not going to date an insecure woman, that NEEDS to have me around 24/7 to make herself happy.. All women should have their own friends. .be their own people and have their own shit together before involving themselves with me because I am a gamer, I have lots of friends and I am a social butterfly. I know this is nothing that would entice someone to date someone like me but I will not and do not bullshit people about my views. Hell reading my blogs can tell you that. Organized religion is for the weak willed and/or terribly frightened humans that can't grasp no life after death. I also don't believe in marriage. One day.. i MIGHT get married.. but again.. I would have to be with a girl for 6-8 years before even considering it.
My friend Craig seems distracted by something. He thought I was hiding something from him last week when I wasn't .. and I wasn't sure if that was misunderstood. but it just seems uncomfortable around me or my place. Could be my imagination, could be additional friends. His friend Tori has been hanging around with us a lot since he introduced her and I don't' know their full history together but maybe that is the trigger for it. But I can't help think it may be something with me.
So ya.. I am trying to have a good weekend with friends.. relaxation.
