Seamos "Heroes"


Lo que he visto de Heroes (1 temporada y 7 capitulos) me ha puesto a pensar
como seria en realidad el mundo si tuvieramos habilidades especiales.
Regeneracion, vuelo, telepatia, etc. Siempre vemos en las historias a heroes combatiendo a sus respectivos villanos... y es que a esto no le podemos llamar cliche, porque veamos la naturaleza humana... somos todos egoistas. Como usariamos estos dones? El tipo de habilidad dictaria nuestra forma de ser? por ejemplo alguien que use la pyrokinesis (control de fuego) tendria una conducta mas agresiva y destructiva que alguien con la habilidad de volar.
Lo que no cambia, creo yo, es nuestra determinacion... q tanto nos preocupamos por este mundo. Que estamos haciendo para salvarlo. O que podriamos hacer?
Se requerira algo drastico para que nos preocupemos más? Algun gran sacrificio que nos haga entrar en razon?
A mi en lo personal si me gustaria tener una habilidad asi...hmm para mi objetivo a gran escala me serviria mucho el de control mental, pero me gustaria tener uno de estos pyrokinesis, hydrokinesis o aerokinesis.
Aunque para hacer la diferencia no necesitamos de una.
... seamos heroes

Once upon a time...


... in Japan, on a May 7th of 1946, a company called Sony emerged. One year after WWII ended.
There is no need for me to point out how powerful it has become.
Forty nine years after its foundation... the Playstation was introduced to America, changing gamers live's (like mine). And it's succesor, the PS2, became the best console since it's birth in the year 2000. Battling difficult oponents such as the Gamecube and Xbox, it became the winner of the "war of consoles". Which made me proud of owning a PSX, PS2 and PSP. It won thanks to capability, third party titles, and affordability.
Along came their successor with a marching band... but the only thing it armed itself with was capability (it's a state-of-the-art console), making it easy for the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii to take the lead this time.
I wonder what kind of destiny awaits the PS3... but I am sure today, as a Playstation fan, that this dissappointment I feel, is real.

The Power of Suggestion

You are in a room, or live with someone that is sick. As days go by everyone caught the cold or the virus, except you. The only difference is that you began thinking since the beggining that it would not affect you. Suggestion. The mind is very powerful. Try it out, just think you won't get sick long enough and hard enough and you won't. And then why not heal yourself of anything your body might have... just by using our head we are able to achieve many things.

Peace, Order and Good Government

Hmmm... might be considered a force to be reckon with, or not. Click on the image below and judge for yourself.

Well? What do you think? In my opinion, being a country that keeps such a low profile, we should take into consideration an imminent Canuck invasion. But I do feel more worried about Switzerland. Appropiate measures will be taken.

Concept

Global Conquest: “An ambitious goal in which one government, one ideology or belief system, or even one person, seeks to secure complete political or military control of the entire planet. It can be considered the extreme form of global hegemony.”

Though it is debatable if a planet as complex and diverse as Earth could ever be successfully "dominated" by a single central authority in this way, the concept of global domination has long been a popular theme in both history and fiction. And history will be made to overcome fiction… you just sit back and await the inevitable.

Tools For Domination practice…


If you are one of the 73.9% of people misguided by the title… no, it’s not about S&M tools. Making this clear I invite you to keep reading, if you suddenly lost interest then move along please and do not waste anymore time. Because like John Milton once said “time is the subtle thief of our youth”… ooops, sorry I got carried away.
Risk, Command and Conquer, Evil Genius… among others, can be considered valuable tools for practice and skill honing. Hell, even Monopoly (if u wanna take over the world a property at a time). As simple as that, just go to a game store and be the geek ruler of a scaled-down Earth (or Train Stations and Hotels)… remember, everything takes a step. The full scale scenario will arrive, just gotta be patient. Practice, practice, practice and soon those brave little plastic or pewter figures will become lethal combat war battalions whose enemies tremble at their very presence.
And please by all means let’s try to become familiar with futuristic weaponry and defense… seriously, we don’t want any alien race taking over the planet we fought so hard for.

Global conquest race

Earth’s unavoidable subjugation is but a race. Us, the infamous competitors, must train, plan, gather intel, *play RPG’s, eat healthy (we wanna live to see it done, right?), cut grass to stock enough rupees… but most importantly: know how to use Google and Microsoft services for they are the strongest opponents out there. So learning about our enemy with the tools they provide to control us is the way to go! Do you really think Google Earth is something for us to play with and pin point our house, neighborhood or places we’ll never afford to visit? NO… I mean… think about it, the name implies their true intentions. And they have the nerve to use it instead of something more discreet like: Google GPS tool, or whatever. So attention all you plotting minds, heed my advice because knowing your rivals forges the path to triumph… and successful business agreements.
By the way if you are going to use Gil instead of Rupees be aware of the exchange rate:

1 Rupee = 11.7 Gil (current exchange rate provided by the Bank of Ivalice branch at Hyrule)


*We can also play First Person Shooters, because you never know when you are going to need those skills and well, we all see in “first person” view… duh!

Si caes de rodillas...

... que sea para meditar y no para rendirte!

About global warming...




Unlike most world domination - hungry villains we see in movies or read on books (that want to rule the earth by destroying it [and thats 87% of the times according recent "evil lord surveys"]), our approach should be more intelligent. What good is Earth without its animals and plants... without the snow, rain or sleet... without the landscapes forged by the hand of Mother Nature, rivaled only by its own perfect complexity.
Selfishness drives mankind to its downfall. Lets think more about the original habitants of this planet and our descendants, and less on our mindless ambition for wealth. We dont need a few species of animals, we need all of them.
One thing is certain... we will pay the price with our lives. So lets try to do our best and contribute to diminish Global Warming! It's your responsability and mine!



P.S. : "El Niño" Sucks!!!
