america, where you're punished for saving...

(...and get a bail-out if you spent too much on your house or are the head of a major bank)

i just finished my taxes, can you tell? if it was uncle sam's goal for me to buy a house in the next couple of years, he failed. he failed real bad. well, old boy, i hope you enjoy spending my cash bailing out your buddies and those 'poor' people who did not bother to read the contracts they were signing.

in other news, watchmen came out this weekend and has received mixed reviews. although i have not seen the movie, i think that if you enjoyed the 300, you will have no problem with watchmen. what i find really exciting/interesting about these type of movies is the physics that go into it. yep, you heard me, physics. i watched a special on einstein the other night and was struck how many ideas were born from daydreaming (read: 'thought experiments', but evidently you need to be a great physicist in order to call your wandering imagination a thought exeriment). the special theory of relativity, energy is related to mass, the curva
ture of space and time, all these were born of this imagination. so remember kids, the next time your mother or father tell you to put down that comic book, tell them you are studying your physics.

in other, slightly related, news, it seems that it has also been known that gamer's faces are much different than everyone elses. surprised? don't be.

finally, there is some more fun coming to us from the evil empire (read: espn). this is a bad idea, reeeeeeeal bad.

edit: evidently doing drugs affects your ability to game. surprised? i thought not, but the idea is still a very cool one.

peace, ko
