Word of the Day: Excessive


People are often too excessive with the things that they do.  Spend too much time on the internet/ Facebook, drink too much, etc.  I don't drink much these days, but I waste a lot of time sitting behind a computer, especially considering I am on a computer all day at work then I come home and do it even more.  However, I've been spending a lot of time playing CSR Racing.  I FINALLY beat everything there is to beat in the game, and to be honest, it was a little disappointing. First off, the Achievements section didn't update after I beat everything, which makes me sad.  Plus, there are a bunch of gamer geeks who figured out how to get some ridiculous scores.  So my rankings are relatively poor.  Here, you can see I've wasted over one day of my life playing this game.  Crazy right?

To think that if I spent that time on something meaningful, I could know how to say 15 words in a new language, increased my muscle mass by 10% (I don't work out much, so 10% is probably achievable), cleaned my apartment 12 times, or wrote a few Haiku's (I would first need to learn what a Haiku is, which was already calculated into my 12 Haiku projection).  Regardless, I think I'm done with this game.  I'll let you know what my new obsession becomes. 

Another example of excessive? THIS:
Dude, just move your car.  And to the Parking Monitor person: ease up.  He's not coming back.  My dad gets mad at me when I have a late fine at Blockbuster, imagine what would happen if this was me. 

Finally, license plate mystery. 
Blabber? Blubber? No, then it would be BLBER.  Then I remembered there was a book when I was a kid about this elephant who dresses like a human.  Not sure if he is, but for some reason I remember him being British.  Then I realized that was Babar. Wikipedia check - he's French.  So this one might remain a mystery.   

Oh yeah, and I signed up for Google Adsense.  It puts advertisements on my blog, and the more people that click them, the more we gets paid son.  The examples I was seeing estimated that with 1,000 hits a day, and a small percentage of those visitors clicking on the ads, they would make $5 to $300 a month.  Now, I've had 350 hits in 2 years, so to my calculations, I could be making $0.00 to $0.02 a month.  As Jim Jones would say...BALLIN! I wonder if they send me a check for that $0.02? And if so, how embarrassed would I be to cash it at my bank?  Not at all. That would mean 3,750 months, or 312.5 years, until I have enough to buy my own vanity license plate.  You might say I'll be dead by then.  I'll say that I plan to freeze myself when I turn 75 until the technology is available to keep ourselves alive for hundreds of years.  Think about it. Hopefully someone invents a freezing machine to preserve humans before I reach 75, or else I'm screwed.  Or I can stop playing games on my phone and invent it myself.  What, are you judging me now? You don't think I'm smart enough to build a freezing machine that can preserve my body and mind for 267.5 years?  Yeah, I'm good at math.  That's 312.5 years, minus the 75 years at which time I would freeze myself, but add back the 30 years I've already lived.  I'm kinda pumped to see what kinds of ads Google will put on my blog, because I talk about a lot of random stuff.  Maybe it will be for the Harry Potter movies (which I already own, in Blu-Ray, sucka).  Excited to Koreanvent myself, invent freezing machines, and write some Haiku's.
