Kirsty comes tomorrow and I should be tidying my room, but I'm not (in case you didn't realize).
Today I went to see Pirates of the Carribean At worlds End. Its one of those films that makes you wonder why we like some things and dislike others., or at least it made me wonder that.
It's a film with probably a billion flaws, the plot is sketchy, bits are ridiculously implausible, and of course for most people Orlando Bloom is a problem. But I liked it. Simple as that really.
So here's the thing. We don't all like the same things. We don't like things for the same reasons. You can hate one film because its cheese, love another for the exact same reason. Most of the time are "favorite" things is no where near the thing that we think is technically best. That applies to films, music, pictures, and probably people! Cheese summary: maybe the things we really like we like because of and in spite of their flaws. Perfect is not only unachievable...it's boring as hell!

There isn't enough room for me and your ego.
Ego:
Does an ego help or hinder?
If its the correct size it must help, tell you what you can do, what you can do. But then again does are ego hold us back if were not confident enough? Or make us idiots if its too inflated.
Ronaldo has one of the biggest egos on the football pitch...but then again, he is the best, voted for by the experts. So is he good because he has the confidence, the ego, to go out on the pitch and bash the ball? Or does skill allow an ego to develop? Could he do the things he does if he was a little more down to earth?
Exams mean Ego burst to the forefront, some thing they sill obviously do well, so that they will fail everything. I'm sure a balance opinion is must usefull, here an everywhere else. But who knows, i think this was just an excuse to search for things on the internet rather than revise.
- The self, especially as distinct from the world and other selves.
- In psychoanalysis, the division of the psyche that is conscious, most immediately controls thought and behavior, and is most in touch with external reality.
- An exaggerated sense of self-importance; conceit.
- Appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem.
