Live Life, Don't Watch It.

The night, your night. Every night. Starts with a simple question. Is it to be an evening on the sofa staring at strangers, a televised spew of reality stars, fame hunters and Primadonnas, everyone plotting, catch phrasing, confessing and unraveling, or do you want it to be more. A time when judges and contestants are replaced by teen moms, trouble makers and teen mates. No islands to be voted off. No board rooms to be fired from. Where sunrise is the only elimination ceremony. Because in the end the night deserves to be played not watched. And channel surfing is not a sport. 

Here’s to the after hours Athlete.

A never-ending game

We all want to be seen as successful. Being admired is another form of being loved, and everyone wants that. And for many people, money and power are the ways they measure success. It’s a never-ending game, because the person seeking love by trying to get a million dollars will not feel loved at one million. So they will try to get to two million. Guess how they feel then? The same.

Fooled.

Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled.

The Prestige (2006). Christopher Nolan.

We ask.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? …”

Prime numbers.

Prime numbers are divisible only by 1 and by themselves. They stand in their place in the infinite series of natural numbers, squashed in between two others, like all other numbers, but a step further on than the rest. They are suspicious and solitary, which is why Mattia thought they were wonderful. Sometimes he thought that they had ended up in that sequence by mistake, that they’d been trapped like pearls strung on a necklace. At other times he suspected that they too would rather have been like all the others, just ordinary numbers, but for some reason they weren’t capable of it.
