Book thoughts

I'm currently reading The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch, a computer science professor who had a terminal cancer. He tells about his life and the teachings he took from it. Among many other things, he tells about his dad, who was a paramedic at the World War and was commited to volunteering, always contributing to the community. He inspires me so much!

But in the middle of the reading, I started to have other thoughts. A few before that, I was very, very bored, expecting for some social interaction, wishing someone to save me from my boredom. Then I remembered about those who writes those books. Through the book the writter communicates with me, telling me a story, their life experience or their ideas. Through one point of view, keeping this idea in mind makes me able to bear my loneliness in a healthier way.

Inherited senseless

My dad doesn't really have a sensible line of though. I'll explain in topics:

First: Everything is fine.
Second: Dad thinks we're spending too much.
Third: He demmands cancelling some services.
Forth: I spend some hours in the phone making to cancel the services.
Fifth: It takes a couple of weeks to definately make the change.
Sixth: They call my dad offering some other services.
Seventh: Dad approves those services.

Services = cable tv and ip phone.

And of course, he gave me life and raised me. I've been taking many of his actions as examples of what I shouldn't do. But if I learn what I shouldn't do, how am I supposed to learn what I should do?

Less, more and movies

For a long while, I've been willing to be a researcher. But I've come into a state that I feel the need for earning money to be able to go through my plans. It doesn't require much to live a lonely life, but when we talk about friends and girlfriends, what would it be possible to do without money? For once, I feel like I have to stop being a dreamer to fall back into reality. I have the "less" ideology. Why all of those consumption, if we can perfectly live with less? It doesn't mean I don't want more. The longer the time pass by, I want more and more of life. I want a friend I can stick up with. I want a girlfriend I'll live the rest of my life with. I want to feel the burning passion I once felt. Ah, if I could predict the future.

Speaking of which, I've already watched several movies since my last post. In an inverse chronological order, they are:
Mr. Nobody
Alice in Wonderland
Kick Ass
Tropa de Elite 2
Oliver Twist
Eagle Eye
The Book of Eli
Scarface
The Hangout
Stand by me
The Virgin Spring
