2009.11.01

Its been two weeks since I blogged. Here's why:
1) Busy with work (really)
2) Been going out everyday and everyweekend
3) Preoccupied with studying Korean and Applying to teachers college
4) Lazy
Other things aswell.

Halloween Party
I went to this (crappy) university Halloween party on Thursday and it was the first time i actually went out since Canada. The place was dinky, it was smaller than my basement (at home in Canada), but damn were the girls cute. The college girls spoke fluent english... most of them were in foreign studies, even though they said they never left the country. I get what they are saying, do you? lol. Anyways, i was suppose to go to Hong Dae in Seoul for another Halloween party to meet other people, which would have been awesome... but i was way too tired to go to that... i kinda regret not going... but at the same time I didnt come to Korea to party... (thats a lie), im restraining myself from partying, I thought I left that life style back in Canada.

Korean Spa in Suwon
The reason why i was so tired was because Friday night i went out with some foreign friends, which asked me to stay and chill because she was sad. It was fun, we played drinking games and then saw Hulk Hogan (a guy in a costume) and well... the night was a disaster... i turned out babysitting... Later we went to a Jimjae bong... (spelling) which is a korean spa... it was only 9,000krw!! ($9) vs one i went to in canada for like $150. Here's what they have or what you can do for $9 entrance:
1) Free Locker (shoes and clothes seperate)
2) Private smoke room
3) the bathing room has 2 dry saunas, 1 steam sauna, 1 mini jet pool, 5 hot tubs and they are all at different temperatures, a row of tiled/granite flat hot beds... a scrub area, showers
In the next general room where everyone sleeps:
There are two huge HOT Sauana Igloos, really, at 88 degrees celcius, really. And in 2 minutes u turn into a prune. They also have a cold sauna, minus 2 degrees (other words, a fridge).

For a small and reasonable price, you can get the following paid services:
1) Access to internet
2) Foot massage chairs
3) Back massage couches
4) Hygiene stuff
5) Convenience store (inside the spa!)
6) Full body massage by maseuse?? (spelling)

Oh, and the place is open 24hrs so you can sleep there! Instead of getting ahotel or partying all night, come here for 9,000krw! Which we did. Its just hard finding a place to sleep on the floor with other people, theres couples, families and crying babies, but its so chill.


Pandorum
Also, i recently watch the movie "Pandorum". Loved it! Why? because it made me thinking, I wasnt only watching the movie, but the story aswell (close analysis of the movie). The whole time, and i've done this numerous times before, was thinking the possibilities of the end of mankind and his struggle for survival against time, space, resource and himself. Let me explain what mean in depth here. Pandorum, as they said in the movie was a pyschological break down and paranoia of a fear caused by long term space travel and trauma.

***Just for thought, dont read unless you take interest in philosophy and my rambles.

Alone in the Universe
I believe that we are alone in the universe. You can argue with me, but let me point out some interesting points. The alignment of our solar system is unique, rather to say its perfect. Why? Because if the Earth was any closer to the sun, we would all die and not exist. If we were further away, we would be absorbed by the gravitational pull of other planets and become a cold planet because the slight distance of the orbiting planets from the sun makes a drastic change in ... everything! Also... the moons, of not just our planet, but Saturn and Jupiter are important, (lets not get scientific here, i dont have my text book, but they are a shield that protected Earth from numerous bombardment from meteors and possibly small astroids. Do you not see the craters on the Moon? Remember how the dinosaurs died?) The point is... to find another liveable planet in another solar system, in this galaxy is near impossible... but possible... just not identifiable or reachable, because time and space is too vast. Time and space is infinite, to travel from 1 end of our galaxy (our solar system in in a galaxy which has millions, maybe millions of other stars, planets and solar systems combined) would be impossible, for the fact that we dont have enough resources to sustain long distance travel. The concept of travelling at light speed is ... unlreastic. Anything travelling at the speed of light breaks down and turns into particles... therefore and living creature , well inanimate objects aswell, would lose its original form from travelling at light speed. The particles would disperse and... you would die. Plus, we dont have the technology to transport anything at lightspeed from one point to another, how do you stop travelling at light speed? Get my point? We have yet the knowledge and resource to be successful in space travel. We can't even be efficient and organize in our own establishment of the transportation system, the system is diabolical... you ever get stuck in an LA (california) traffic? Planes crash, petroleum is now considered limited, no immediate and available energy or resource equaling the output of oil is easily and abundantly accessible cheaply to replace. How many more years left do we have before we use up all the resources? That was the issue in the movie "Pandorum". Earths population was 125+ billion in the year 2200+ and resource was scarce. Hence they built a ship, a Noah's arc, in hopes to survive on a new found Planet called Tanus to continue human life. Eventually, Earth blew up.

Suppose life does exist on a planet, in a solar system in our Galaxy (not the billions of other glaxies), they would have to be a highly advance civilization, we are not, to contact or even travel in order for us to encounter each other. And yet, what happens if we do contact each other... we become aggressive. Have u not see the movies? We are not very welcoming, we are afraid of what we do not understand. Anyways, its better that was are alone in the universe, we will F up every chance we get to be better in life.

Factors that will destroy life for mankind:
The Sun dying
Time runs out for everything
Resources are limited on Earth, in our solar system
Space - we are stuck and the possibility of space travel is foolish, we might not even have enough resource to travel to the end of our solar system and back, yet the thought of going to another solarsystem light years away (you cant travel at light speed). It's a wild goose chase to think of travelling anywhere. Stay at home!
Extraterrestials (i dont think they can reach us unless they can teleport lol)
Human error (we are flawed and we make mistakes and you get the point) we use up all our resources, we kill each other because of differences, and we press the nuke button out of stupidity. We kill ourselves basically.
Pyscological - we are mentally unstable... anybody can break down if the were pushed to the edge, experienced trauma (hence Pandorum )
The unknown - blackhole, rubberband theory (others),

Now im just rambling. End thought. I believe we are alone in the universe, do you? I have to go shopping for a winter jacket now... and clean the apartment. bye!
