You know how food is one of the 3 things we need next to water and shelter and yet we treat it like crap and just eat stuff out of the freezer which says "pop in microwave for 3 minutes" and has an ingredients box which has more words than the average page in a harry potter book?

Yeah, since it's holiday,s I'm gonna see how hard it is making your own real food and storing it in Tupperware containers on the kitchen bench and just pig out on it throughout holidays. Stuff like cookies, breads and cakes.

Oh and that'll probably work wonders for futsal and ice hockey. It's not like I'm the smallest weight range in hockey or anything...

I find it rather disturbing how individualistic people have become. Humans were always a social species. It always traveled in tribes and everything was done in groups. Hell, the one advantage Humans have over other animals is that Humans can communicate and record data. We don't have to rediscover things every ten years. And I imagine in that time everyone was one big happy family.

Then the industrial revolution comes and messes everything up. No one was as stationary as they were before and people could simply move to another city and live there. Now, with all this individualistic nomadic lifestyle where people move within a city to where the houses are cheaper (or more expensive for that matter) people start to lose that whole "I was born here and I'll die here" type thought and people have grown almost identity-less.

And look at life now. With all this artificial intelligence industry and everything, people could quite contently and easily spend their entire lives in a basement. Think 100 years down the line. What would actually be the standard way of meeting people? Will anything ever be up to chance, of getting to know someone face to face? Or will we have evolved to a time when your perfect math was calculated and you know who they are before you ever see them in person?

I mean really, whoever started this whole telecommuting bullshit is a complete tool.

IRIDESCENT
(adjective)

1. Producing a display of lustrous, rainbowlike colors: an iridescent oil slick; iridescent plumage.
2. Brilliant, lustrous, or colorful in effect or appearance: “The prelude was as iridescent as a prism in a morning room” (Carson McCullers)

Or, the optical phenomenon where a surface appears to changes color depending on the angle it is viewed.

And life is iridescent. It is a variety of colours and changes depending on the way you look at it.

On a completely different note, I finally realized why a person should go out of their comfort zone. It is because that when you first learn something, you learn all those big important skills in life that will give you the biggest improvement per effort. The more time you spend learning something the more niche that ability becomes and the harder it get's for you to cross apply it.

My futsal team has lost dramatically in the past two games. After both of them, we have revelations that are just phenomenal

Lesson 1: Possession.
I bet at some point Sun Tzu said that one cannot attack without first possessing a means to attack. In other words, one must hold possession over necessary materials to inflict damage. Even if one must retreat or give in a little to the enemy, one must not lose the ability to do something.

Lesson 2: Offense
The problem with over estimating an enemy's defense and being all cautious is that they have the opportunity to sacrifice efforts in that area. If you think that you cannot possibly harm someone and throw pebbles at them from afar, they have the opportunity to simply run up to you and smack you in the face. If you ran up and were aiming for their face with your fist then they'd have to watch out and hold back on the attacking a little.

Hey Bench, give 'em hell!

Have you noticed that in every team there is always one rejected player, one person that takes all the blame for a teams failures, takes all the ridicule and takes just about the short end of every stick.

Have you noticed how much it would suck to be them?

Have you noticed how much that one guy does for the team.

You see, people take bullying on a one sided perspective. They always take the victims side because people like sympathetic people so the whole world is pressured into being sympathetic.

But think about whenever you ridiculed someone or made jokes about them. Most of the time it's something you do for fun, to lighten the mood at your end and to keep the spirits high of the people around you minus the victim. Sure sometimes you get those very angry ones but in reality...it helps a team a lot.

And if your bench warmer is some bloody awesome person who can brush off those ridicule and give his all then I think that guy is hugely underrated. No one likes a team who's all neutral and nice and never cracks jokes at one another. Cracking jokes at one another and at yourself is what makes failures bearable.

So, bench, give 'em hell!
