I thought I start off 2003 by posing some random thoughts I had in 2002. (I couldn't really think of anything wittier, so you all will just have to survive)

I’m pretty sure I’m the most cynical person on the face of the earth

Why is it that when western movies are broken down, the acting is horrible, the special effects are abysmal, and the plot lines are childishly predictable, and yet, when put together they make some of the best pieces of cinema in history.

Although each government has been in power of their respective countries for the same time, they have polar opposite economic theories. Over 50 years later every little McDonald’s Happy Meal’ mini-plastic hunk of junk sorry excuse for a children’s toy is made in China. And billions of dollars worth of electronic components are made in Taiwan. Anybody want to eliminate Capitalism* now?

Why does anyone in the world find it necessary to use AOL? Do they really enjoy paying twice as much for the privilege of using inferior software?

The phrase “It’s always in the last place you look” is pointless. If it weren’t in the last place that you looked, you would continue searching thus negating the aforementioned space’s title of being the last place you looked.

I still don’t like people.

If those doctor’s trying to clone people out in international waters had a company and slogan I’m pretty sure this would be it, “International Cloning: building a weaker more disease-prone you”

Why is that anybody can pick out a soap opera while channel surfing with only a split second view? What exactly is the give away that allows every member of the human race to supernaturally identify the genre of shows we have never even seen? Everybody understands, but nobody knows why.

*a.k.a. the most evil, money-grubbing, cold-hearted, economic theory ever conceived
