The King of All (New) Media

I was asked recently why I believe I am a god. After much deliberation, and researching on what exactly a god is, I suppose my answer is simply because I believe.
I choose to believe I am a god, in much the same way billions of people choose to believe in a god. It comes down to how I see myself and what I will become. I think that I am everything I should be at any point in time. This doesn't mean I am perfect, it just means that, to quote another God, "I am that I am".

My new workout routine has killed me, my calves are destroyed, whenever I get up it hurts like hell, they relax after a while but its insane. I'm not really complaining though, i do like the new routine, I have a day on my legs, a day on my back and a day on my arms. Its been almost a week since I wrote that, my legs did hurt for ages, although they were joined from time to time by my arms, chest and back. I have to go tonight and destroy them again. The things i do to maintain my divine look.

Weekend Update:
Wow, another pretty boring weekend. It is self imposed though as a means to save money. i hung out with Lana, watched a fair bit of DVDs, went out to dinner and gym'd it up.
Elaborating on the dinner, we went to the mall, a little too early for dinner, it was still pretty busy everywhere so we decided to have a coffee. That led into another so we emerged right around dinner time. This was great timing, unfortunately we were presented with a closed up mall. All the cafes & restaurants we thought would be open had all closed up, before 7:30. So we were left to choose between the big three. It's frustrating, if for no other reason than during winter the clothes are nicer, its just that you never get a chance to wear them.

Caught in the Web:
Ok, apparently scientists have discovered kryptonite in Serbia. It is not, unfortunately a part of Kal El's home world, it has the same name as the rock that Luthor steals in Superman Returns. It is sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide, the person who discovered it Google'd it and found out it was in the movie. I think its a cool story but i think its the kind of story that reporters dream of just because they get to be creative with the title.
A follow up to this story is that scientists have discovered the most earth like planet out there, its large than earth, its about the same temperature and it orbits a Red Sun. Sound like Krypton? This leads me to think we may soon know if we will have super powers under the red sun of krypton, much like kryptonians do under our yellow sun.

Its 2007 right?
I'm serious, go and get the paper just to double check.
It is?
Good because this threw me into doubt. A high school that STILL has segregated formals. What The Fuck? I'm not kidding. This is the most insane thing I could ever think of. I was going to blow up about this but I really shouldn't, it is so weird, I cannot fathom how this was still going on.

Review:
The Sopranos
This is going to be a tough review. How do you review a show that changed the way television is made. That seems like a big statement but its true, without the Sopranos there would be no Lost, Prison Break, Deadwood or even Desperate Housewives. The Sopranos was unique in that it showed not only the big important stuff in the characters lives, whacking people, shaking down business' etc it also showed the most mundane ordinary parts as well, which humanises the characters and helps the audience connect with them.
The show revolves around Tony Sopranos and his two families, the one with his last name & the friends of his. Tony suffers a panic attack one day and has to go to therapy. This sets up the premise of the show, Tony trying to balance his personal life, family, mother, therapy etc with his professional life which includes taking control of a New Jersey family.
The story comes from hassles of everyday life, with its own unique twist. Tony fighting for control, against the feds, trying to work with New York are each mirrored in his family life, which makes it relate-able to the lives of the audience. The characters are shown as human, having to cope with even the smallest problems, despite being involved in organized crime.
