-you are so excited about blogging that you just wanna blog every single day. you better wait till you find something worth telling people about and then blog about it. But wait, I'm not blogging for people only; I'm blogging for myself too..I mean whether others are going to read my posts or not, I'm gonna continue to blog anyway and later when I get older I will look back and see what was keeping me busy when I was younger. mmm.. I guess I'll just blog about things EYE find interesting
-I receive over 40 new email msgs daily with a few of them requesting a reply from me. Sometimes I am busy and I just can't reply right away. Nah, you're just saying so you know you're not that busy. plus, when you go back and write a reply to message that you read before, you'll read it again and by doing that you just waste double the time you'd talk to if you replied the first time you read it
-Will you ever check out the bookmarks you've been collecting for years now?
-Will you ever study for an exam earlier enough? coz you don't seem to be willing to study the night before any exam. And it always happens that you get distracted by other -possibly important- stuff on that night or day before the exam.

Things I ran into this week
Edufire
This is an awesome website where you learn and teach language, business skills, Japanese manga and basically anything that can be learned over the internet. You'll find interesting classes for free as well as other that are not. The website is very simple to us.
www.edufire.com
Go zero gravity
I was so happy to know about this. This company commercially offers you the chance of experiencing weightlessness :). Ain't that just awesome? They take you on a flight and through a special maneuver you can experience zero gravity for about 30 seconds. That repeats from 12-15 times during the flight. The cost is under $5000 which makes me think I will do this even once in my life time
www.gozerog.com
Alhambra, Spain
Spain was a Muslim state for about 800 years during which Muslims built great civilization whose remains are still seen today. This website gives a virtual tour in Alhambra, one of the cities built during the Muslim era. Spain or Andalusia is on my travel wish list mainly because I want to see those remains.

Facebook stuff
Sometimes you just do not wanna comment on someone's status or picture on facebook although they might be interesting. That's just because you know too many people will put comments after yours and then you'll receive zillions of notifications about their comments.
How many friends do you have in facebook? Does the number represent how likable or popular you are? For me the answer would be yes, to some extent. I'd like to have over a thousand friends on facebook..that would be just awesome :D
I think I make like 10 new friends per month on average. Right now I have 257 which is too few I think. I wanna have over 500 people by the end of this year. You might think that friend count is trivial and only quality not quantity matters.. you might be right. But still having too few friends probably means you do not get along well with people. Lots of friends mean lots of experiences, news, cultures and opportunities especially if those friends were diverse.
Everyone hates the new facebook..I don't. I think it's comprehensive in a number of ways. I think the newest layout saves the time I use to take in the past to view posts and news of friends.
Having friends from different places in the world gives you your own news network.

Volatile interests!!
My interest in things is volatile. It happens so often that I get so excited about something i found and I keep on learning more about it and even try to do it myself if it was something doable and after a while I forget all about it as if it was never there. For example, blogging is something I started a long while ago. I like the idea so much when I first learned about blogs and spent days reading others' blogs and eventually created my own blog, posted a few entries and then it all went away. For months I stayed away from my blog and it seemed I have completely forgot about it.
And again, my interest cycle comes back to life after a while and now I am blogging more often that i used to but with the fear that one day i will abandon this habit once more. This is an interesting psychological topic for study I guess and there must be some writings about it. I'll try to read more about this thing if I only could phrase my case ( or symptoms if you please) in one sentence that would make sense. Any suggestions?
