life is one huge timespan of repeatedly looking at glasses of water, guaging whether they are half-empty or half-full. in other words, humans are ridiculously selfish, and only interpret things based upon how they affect themselves. sports are a perfect example(and it is for this reason though i love sports, i hate sports fans; to the selfish bastards, everything is only relative to themselves); one sports fan's "good play" is another fan's "bad play," but nobody cares. one sports fan doesn't care at all if his team sucks on defense, laments how boring it is, until the team he follows get a great defensive player; then all he can do is talk about defense(exhibit a: sacramento kings' announcers after it became official the maloof brothers would sign ron artest). etc, etc, etc.

something to think about, but that i've come to realize; the gained knowledge that adam and eve received from the fruit of the knowledge of the tree of good and evil wasn't bad by itself. but the fact that the knowledge gained was finite, and that man has lusts, which God does not have, was what caused their downfall. (this is why many humans sin despite knowing in their mind what they need to do. or why they sin because they don't have a full picture, ie complete knowledge.) that, on top of the obvious "they just disobeyed God." that's just the bare bones of it; i've spent a lot more time writing on it at home, but all my notes are locked away on my external hard drive.

though it's been a while since i've checked some animated film/tv series out from the library which wasn't japanese anime in some form(afro samurai doesn't count), i HAD to check out superman: doomsday when i realized it was sitting on the shelf. ie, "the death and return of superman."

speaking of which, i watched afro samurai a few weeks back, and i think that mightve been the most bloodiest cartoon or anime i've ever seen. it's like samurai champloo with some kill bill mixed in, and a lotta blackness. oh, and samuel l. jackson is the voice actor of Afro in it.
