What you believe is what you get

A Sunday is not much fun if you are sitting at home, trying to learn some new and boring stuff that you have to. The stuff I was to learn was …. Well the less said the better .

I was itching to go out, but I could not... To complicate matters further, there was this game on TV, which I very much wanted to watch. Luckily, the guys I was rooting for, they caved in early and made a mess of the game. They were never going to win it. Everything considered, this was the meanest Sunday I have had for a quarter of a century.

Changing channel I TV, I caught this guy living inside a block of ice for some length of time, it seems. No doubt the guy is making good money out of it, but still, what in the hell is the purpose of pulling such stunts. He says he wants to stretch the limits of his endurance and go farther than anybody else. Well he has gone farther, there can be hardly any doubt about it, and made absolute idiots of us all. It is not even good drama sometimes, though he is doing his best to make it grander every time. His histrionic repertoire is also good. Living inside blocks of ice indeed! Do not the Eskimos do it all the time, in the Igloos that is, that too in very much sub zero temperatures! What does this guy take us for!

Agreed, magic is make belief, there is an element of wonder watching a good magician going through his tricks. We all would like to go beyond the laws of nature and do such amazing things. Its fun to watch a magician and it brings out the child in us. But when you are fed real trash like this, well it goofs us. Good luck with making money buddy, but pull real stunts.
