Embarrassing addiction

I will openly admit, I am a nerd.  I cannot help it, I was born this way I guess. 

So, the thing is, I like documentaries, and as of late have been watching a collection of rather odd ones.  For example, I have watched several on insects, world religions, ancient religions, and technology and inventions.  I will also, sadly admit that I was watching a collection of them on religion that I was actually looking forward the other day to coming home from work to finish it.  I mean, my life has hit an all new low, that I am looking forward to getting home to learn about dead world religions. 

But, like many other addictions, it often takes some sort of eye opening experience to convince you that you have a problem.  For example, a drug addict may need intervention.  There are all sorts of things that may happen, some simple and some not so simple.

Well, Netflix is amazing.  I think anyone that uses it will agree.  The way they decide what movies you may or may not like is pure mathematics at its greatest.  Award winning software innovations is simply understating the complexities of these programs.

Anyhow, the sad thing is that my abrupt eye opening experience goes like this.

 

I log onto Netflix, and under the category for “Exciting” or in other words, the way Netflix put it was this.  Our best guess is that Benjamin will find these movies exciting.  When I think exciting, I would say that would mimic the feeling that a child gets two days before Christmas when there is a huge box under the tree. 

Well, under the exciting category is 10 shows that they think I will find exciting.  5 of them were documentaries, and 3 were 1960’s era movies.  The other two I didn’t look that close at.    

I think I may be becoming one of the most un-interesting people out there… May God have mercy on my soul…

Spider Man

Last night I had a dream that I was Spider Man.  I can say, dream meanings are clear in the beginning part of this dream.  It was all about overcoming an obstacle.  The later parts of the dream are less clear, but that isn’t the point.

 So, I was sitting on a ledge, in what I can only say was a cave with a wild river running through it.  So I was sitting there, and was trying to figure out how to get out of the spot I was in.  I was stuck, couldn’t go anywhere, basically sitting on a ledge looking at the river.  I remember thinking that I got myself there, why now how was I to get out.  

So, I was sitting there, and I watched a spider crawl up over the top of a cave.  I said to myself, if that little insignificant spider could get climb upside down on a wall, so could I.  So, I climbed up the wall and over the roof to the other side.  The dream then turned into me being spider man and going about life with spidey since, and all that spider man stuff. 

I have no idea where spider man came from, but it was a pretty fun dream.
