Survivor.
I've been quite bored on Friday nights these few weeks. Actually I'm bored almost all the time, even when I'm online, but studies and homework can never make it to the top of my to-do list, and frankly speaking, my to-do list comprises of only desirable females.
What do bored people do? They watch Survivor.
I find it quite ironic to find a tribe named 'Heroes' in Survivor when the whole game is based on deceit, gaining and the manipulation of trust and people, backstabbing, etc, but what's in a name?
I just find it grossly unfair for Russell, who had played a very interesting, balls-shrivelling game because of his balls. He was kinda true to his word at least, he stuck to playing by his own rules even though he knew that he probably can't get a single vote to win the 1million prize, he knew he'd be hated by everyone, but he still did his thing and stuck to his own values. Hypocrite? I think not. At least he did not bend to what was supposed to be the 'correct' way of playing a game which ethically challenges everyone involved in the game.
It's like playing 'Cheat', you can't blame the opponent for cheating better than you. You're just being a sore loser by doing such a retarded thing. Censure only because you're losing? It's like saying 'Hey you can cheat, but only to the maximum extent of X, where X is defined by me.'
Such hypocrites.
I'm not a Russell defender, I'm just saying that he has been more honest than most of us reading are. None of you(nor I) could face the 'jury' and reply calmly in their eyes that we would stick to our own principles even if it doesn't get us anywhere, even if it makes us get hated.
Villains are good. They aren't as scary as the villains that reside within us. We point and shake our heads at what a morally degraded person others are, but small minds discuss people and we aren't exactly being very morally upright when we badmouth others right?
I've been coming up with lots of random posts lately. I guess this suggests a fragmented state of mind. I need to defragment my brain.
