oh beloved deduction

Today's topic at university was  'describing people'.
I love to travel and one thing that I love to notice is, what people do and how they are. Im rambling a bit, let me explain you what I want to say.
You are in the subway and see a guy who is wearing a wedding ring, you can easily and logcally guess that he is married, don't you?
Sherlock Holmes, one of my favourite characters, calls it 'deduction'. It's easy, it makes fun. I kind of love it, it helps you so much with guessing how the person is. At least I think so. If someone is wearking some trainings socks and a new sport outfit, I would rather guess he is coming from the gym or whatever the sport is. A tennis racket suggests a tennis player. wet hairs could suggest a swimmer, or that he got wet somewhere. Did it rain? Yes, so why is he not wearing an umbrella or at least a coat? So you even guess the weather outside if you actually don't know it, just by looking at foreign people's dresses.
Isn't it easy?



Here is a short part of the film with Robert Downey in which he deducts the profile of watson's new wife.

Advertising, oh hated friend - or a good way to get on someone's nerves

I absolutely can not tell you how much I hate advertising. Really. For me it's the most annoying thing after: 
1. not having something to eat at home
2. not having any tea at home. (yeah I am addicted to any kind of tea, I just simply love drinking this warming beverage who calms me down like a pill)

Why do people make advertising so disturbing? I mean, they engage a company, which mostly creates them a possibility to show what they offer, which will hopefully lead to sell their products which is the main aim of persuading advertising right? SO WHY AM I SO ANNOYED BY THESE? I would never ever buy an indian carpet because they tell me how good it is, where it comes from, what a great quality it has and probably how low the price is. Suprise, suprise, let's cut the price. Nice slogan, but I still won't buy your carpet.

Another point is television commerce. Same concept, just that a moderator continously repeats the information about his wonderful product, and how fast the offer will end, if you don't call him now. You are washing your car, it's sunny outside, your sweat runs down your neck but yes you have to call them now or the offer will expire and you won't be able to get this one special product which guarantees to make your life easier.

Enough trashtalking for 2day, it's making me mad.

behind the scenes of 'going to the cinema' - short&simple

Why do you think youths love cinemas? Theatres and Operas don't have such a young audience anymore, don't they? I was young too, and all I can say is that I hated going to a cinema. It was so expensive as a young man, you couldn't effort to buy a ticket for two. Yeah, you read right, for two. I mean, who the fuck goes to a cinema not dating a girl? (tell me, if so, because I'm going to instantly delete this post haha) For the movie? Nowadays teenagers watch movies online 24/7, you can stream nearly every series, every movie, every documentary (I have never met a person who watches documentaries online so far, but hey, it wouldn't be that stupid). Everybody's dream at high school was to get that one special girl. A cinema is a perfect place for dating her. I mean, it's not that personal as if you would meet her at home, but it's a place where you are, and that's the main reason, 'near' enough to get that special contact which will hopefully lead to a kiss.

good night, enjoy your dreams

the rum diary - the exploitation of divine paradises

I saw a pretty interesting film yesterday, which was titled 'The Rum Diary'. Johnny Depp as main personage interprets a hard-drinking journalist who comes to Puerto Rico to work for a local newspaper. The story struggles with some crucial arguments, I wanna mention. Alcoholism in poor states, the exploitation of land and resources by foreign intrepreneurs and even island cultures.

The Rum Diary - Imdb

I can only recommend to watch this movie, even if you are not interested in foreign cultures. I was really suprised to see what big contrasts people in general have to face in third world developing countries.
