Traveling Without Moving

Every time I am writhing a blog, I seem to be listening to Jamiroquai and this time it was his "traveling Without Moving" album.

So, it is reading week. I guess I have been taking it easy. I've been doing research on my ancient weapon of mass destruction that I need to build for my classical studies course while knowing I have other assignment due next week. I am sitting in the living room, rocking to the tunes as I read, drawing out the blue print in my head, imagining, how life would be like back in the Greek and Roman time. So, I decided to do a little traveling...Going back to the ancient time. What was the perfect Roman life style? How different was farming back then? Was sailing dangerous? How extensive was the Roman road network. How did they build a siege engine. How did the Greeks came up with all the ideas about the world and the different math theory that we still use today.

All of these questions were answered during my trip. The beauty of it was I never left my living room. Dive into a book and travel with your imagination. Traveling without moving. Maybe I'll run into you on my next trip.

Virtual Insanity

Sitting at home right now, alone, cause the guys are at hockey. I am chilling to"Take a Message" by Remy Shand...having a conversation with the voice in my head...

voice in my head: dude, you should be finishing up that bio assignment and go to bed

me: don't worry, I am going to finish it, I just came back from the 3 hrs pre-study and the 2 hrs 4th year project meeting, give me a break

now "Fill Me In" by Craig David is rocking on my headphone...
voice in my head: you are weak dude, you fell asleep for half of the pre-study, WEAK!!

me: shut up!! Shut up!!! You know how stressed and tired I am, and come on, the prestudy leader was so soft spoken, she is like, sleeping music. YO YO YO, I just realized, the prestudy leader talks like Bill Lumbergh from Office Space, Ha haa, "ummm......yeah.....ummm....yeah..."lol.

As "Canned Heat" by Jamiroquai came on...

voice in my head: yo guy, I am serious here, you know how much crap you have to do?? You have nothing for that 4th year project of yours, two midterms coming up next week, and you also have to build that ancient weapon of mass destruction

me: "ummm......yeah.... ummm.....yeah...." hahahahaha, that is so funny. Yeah, that 4th year project is going to be the death of me if I don't get on it. Man, that's the thing that's stressing me out right now. I hope it works out at the end.

When "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquai started blasting:

voice in my head: well get to it! And dude, you are losing it, talking to yourself...

me: yeah, you know you are tired when you have a "virtual insanity" experience and talk to yourself then posting it on your blog
