PROMISCUITY : In human sexual behaviour, "Promiscuity" denotes casual sex between many partners. Behavior includes sex with partners who are not one's spouse.
Promiscuity has become the norm today. From movies to television shows to magazines. Everywhere there are articles, episodes and little titbit's about one-night stands and casual sex. A vast array of characters today follow in the footsteps of Zeus. No woman is out of reach of these characters, they go to a night club and pick out a woman and sleep with her. Not unlike Zeus in his exploits. The modern woman too follows the same agenda. A few examples would be James Bond, Joey from Friends, Barney from How I met your Mother, the articles for women in cosmopolitan that say "How to bed a guy in an hour", etc. Man is not so different today then as he was ages ago. Its just that today we don't superimpose our feelings of desire and affection for an unattainable/married person onto a mythological being. A lot of people have one night stands and there are a lot of married people having extramarital affairs, but they aren't shunned or looked down upon by society. It has taken a few thousand years but Promiscuity has become the norm today.

To MJ
DEATH : "Death" is the permanent termination of the biological functions that define a living organism. It refers to both a particular event and to the condition that results thereby. The true nature of the latter has for millennia been a central concern of the world's religious traditions and of philosophical enquiry. Religions, almost without exception, maintain faith in either some kind of afterlife or reincarnation. The effect of physical death on any possible mind or soul remains an open question.
Is Michael Jackson really dead? I mean c'mon, really, whatever he might have done or not done in the past 10 years doesn't outweigh his contribution to humanity. The past 35 years of MJ's life have given a lot to us. Everyone who was born in the late 70's and 80's has grown listening to MJ. Bad, Smooth Criminal, Moonwalker, Thriller, etc. He was the best of the best. His personal life can be looked at with a cynical eye but thats not what this is about. I pay homage to the King of Pop, personally I would think MJ is as big as Elvis, the King of Rock n Roll. They've both influcened pop-culture and a lot of artists till date. Just a thought on the side, how does Lisa Marie Presley deal with this? Her father and lover both Kings of their Genre die suddenly before their time.

Addicted to WoW
ADDICTION : The term "addiction" is used in many contexts to describe an obsession, compulsion, or excessive physical or psychological dependence on something.
and thats what everyone said about me and WoW. I never really totally realized it. Today my account was hacked and everything deleted. Now you might say, its just a video game, how tough can it be to get over. Suck up and get on with your life. Yea... To move on from something after 4 and a half years of your life have gone into it for at least 3 hrs a day on an average. The emotions I'm feeling are imitating what you go through after a breakup. MMORPG(Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) isn't only about playing a videogame at the end of the day. Its a way to release all the tension that you build up during the day, all the tension your going through in life. By playing these MMO's, you get to smash faces and stab things which if you did in person would have some serious repercussions. At the end of the day I just want an outlet for all the pent up frustration. Maybe its a sign that its time to move on, maybe after 4 years of this I have to move on some other things. Hopefully a year later I'll look back to this day and say "Yes, all that happens. Happens for good". Although I will get my account back in due time, maybe I will quit this game and move on to a more productive process of getting rid of my frustration.
