Let Spiderman out of his cage!

Dear Sony,
I have no clue if this letter will get where it should and you probably receive letters from geeks such as me on a daily basis but I will continue to write it for the sake of my sanity and for the one in a million chance that this letter will actually be read by whoever is concerned.

Firstly I have been a Sony fan all my life, I didn’t have a Walkman, but I started using your phones when I was only 17 years old and I have never looked back. I can still recall the models off the top of my head and recall the good times I’ve had with each phone. The artists you sign, the products that you make and the films that you produce are amazing, I am yet to see Sony create a something that I will label monstrosity, something Snakes on a Plane bad. Wait did you guys make that film? If you did sorry, but getting back to the point, 90% of the movies you guys produce are pretty epic! Yes you guys aren’t market leaders in anything but you are right up there with the big boys, well done, well done, keep up the good work!

The reason for me to write this letter and take the one in a million chance that this letter I share publicly will go to the right hands is to trying and persuade you with the future of Spidey. Again, I know I’m just a another geek who’s written to you trying persuade you on what to do a franchise you own and have every right to do whatever you think is fit based on your research and analysis, but here me out...this won’t take too long and I won’t start pitching you fan fiction, I promise.
The Amazing Spiderman missed its mark by a long distance, the villains chosen were amazing but you overstuffed the movie, Plain and simple. I won’t go deep to analysis because I’m pretty sure you’ve read it and heard it all from EVERYONE else. But Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, brilliant choice! Give yourselves a pat on the back for choosing that dynamic duo. You can contemplate and have conferences all you want on what to do next with Spiderman but let’s face it, returning Spidey to Marvel is the right thing to do. You know it in your hearts, No matter how much you try and no matter how good the next Spiderman film will be you will never get the same exposure and response you will get if you play nice with Disney. Disney cannot do anything wrong right now… they made a movie about a freaking talking raccoon and a tree who has the Hodor disease and the still made a crap load of money.

After you were hacked (which was really sad) the rumor mill has been going berserk with stories of you actually communicating with Disney and the talks breaking down, the rumor only caused the entire nerd universe to all lose their minds, every nerd literally had an orgasm, which is a organic reaction no company can ever re-create. Period. After the Amazing Spiderman 2 failure this was exactly the breath of fresh air need to pump life back in to the Spiderman franchise. All eyes are on you to see if the rumors are true and we get to see Spiderman geek out with Ironman or share the dynamic chemistry with Hulk which has been built so well in the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon series, which is amazing! Everybody wants this to happen, I mean literally everyone, and I know you want it too and you are literally bubbling with excitement with just the possibility of Spiderman appearing in the same screen as the Avengers.

If Spidey actually crosses over to the MCU, your legacy as a company and Spiderman’s legacy will be etched in to history till the end of time and your effort to give people what they want and deserve will be always remembered, that’s a guarantee. Don’t be the spoilt sports that didn’t let poor Spiderman play with the avengers over money, people will never forgive you, and the geek universe will go to whatever they can to ruin your company forever. It won’t be so bad for a company of your size, I’m pretty sure this won’t be such a big blow, I mean it’s not like people will start throwing away their Sony devices and not buying anything you guys make, that’s just my imagination running wild. But don’t be the villain and bully people because you can. Rise up to this occasion and show the world you can play nice with the other kids, do what’s right for us, the customer’s, the people who are loyal to you and make sure you guys get rich.
Okay, so the letter ended up going a bit longer than I thought it would, sorry about that, but Give the people what they want and let us see Spiderman join the Avengers!

Yours truly,
All Marvel and Spiderman fans

Embrace Life

Life will be always filled with problems, don't hate it,
Life's nothing more than a bunch of random events, embrace the randomness.
Happiness and joy comes from the heart, why lie? So don't fake it.
Don't be sad about the things you don't have, there are so many people with much less

There's always a deeper meaning in life contemplate it.
Nothing in life will be handed it to you, you have to take it by force.
And you can't always rely on luck, you have to make it.
There's no better time to change your life than right now, this is something I will endorse.

The past cannot be changed and the future will always be a mystery,
All you ever know is the present and thats all you can really control
Why worry about the future or be sad about the past, its history
All you ever have in life is the present, don't bury yourself in a hole

For once the moment has passed, it's gone you forever and you can never get it back.
So be the best you can be during every passing moment,
If you want your life to change you have to be one with yourself, that's a fact.
Make every second in life count, make others make you an endorsement

If you think you are alone and nobody believes in you, you are wrong,
You always have yourself and that's all you will ever have and need,
Trust in yourself and your inner strength, make your life your favorite song
for you are truly awesome, you are the greatest and there's nobody quite like you!

Dark Maithree or Super Mahinda?

We are in the final stretch of the Sri Lankan Presidential election and the competition has been neck to neck up to now.  With things really heating up and this being the topic everyone young and old and I mean literally EVERYONE is talking about I decided to voice my two cents as well (Because I am a smart ass, yes I know that already, thanks for re-iterating what I already know).

As of 5 January 2014 all campaigining has to be stopped to ensure that people are not influenced in anyway on which to vote (Like that’s going to happen, LOL). Although Mahinda has used every dirty trick in the book shoving the whole look how much good I’ve done down peoples throats, even though I have stolen billions of dollars and caused inflation to double method has been very effective. He may not be a very good administrator, but he really knows how to market himself (When he looses the election, that’s a career option he should consider, he has a flair for it). He really rallied up his troops until the fateful Salman Khan Celebrity promotion campaign. Yes, I’ve seen most of his campaign ads and material, they are horrible but it attracted the target demographic area, hence served the purpose. Bringing down Salman Khan was the tipping point for most the Mahinda supporters who were skeptical and were supporting him knowing all damning evidence of him blatantly misusing authority authority. The Salman Khan campaign really tipped the scale in favour of Maithree, especially after Namal tried to act like Salman Khan did the whole charity act and promote Mahinda out of free will, I mean how stupid does he think we really are???

Looking at it from an economical point of view Mahinda’s campaign is a huge waste of money, I mean if you are confident of winning and have nothing to fear why spend so much tax payer money  and public servants on campaigning and re-introducing yourself to the country? If you are really as good as you say you are then your actions should speak for you rather than you force it down everyone's throat using every possible method available.

Given all this negativity towards Mahinda I don’t endorse Maithree either; this is a very common opinion amongst a lot of people. Whatever said and done Maithree did betray his leader and isn’t even close to the sort of leader Sri Lanka really needs to take it in to the next era. He based his entire campaign on demolishing the executive presidency, mistake number 1. For the people who understand the gravity of this move it makes a lot of sense and is a very good issue to base the whole campaign around, but to for the rural (which is the majority of votes) population this has no real impact and isn’t an issue to which you can gather voters around you. What the rural voters expect is some sort of relief to help ease the burden of their cost of living and boost their businesses to maximize their revenue.

Mistake number 2, most of the campaign was a mud slinging competition where both sides (Including the common candidate, Maithree, yes, like it or not he was slinging mud at the government left, right, center and any other direction possible) competed on who could cause the most dramatic effect of disdain amongst the voters to pursuade them to vote for their party. This is Sri Lankan politics in a nutshell I know, but if the new government we are electing is using the same playbook the old government uses whats the point of having a new government at all?

Mistake number 3….accepting defectors from other parties (Especially from the UPFA). Aren’t we just bringing the same goons in the government right now in to power again under a new symbol? Maithree is the common candidate yes I know that…common, backed by many parties, but wouldn’t you want  fresh faces in the government who will take some time to learn how to learn the art of swindling money from the government from scratch, hence we won’t be swindled majorly for at least a couple of years? Years is very optimistic, it’s more like months, but anything is better than how the current government is robbing the country blind right now, honestly.

Everybody is a political guru these days (Including me, hehe) so there's plenty of opinions to read on this topic, the common consensus right now which I agree with is this; As members of society we have an obligation to vote, it is mandatory that each of us uses the power vested in us by the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka to ensure that the we participate in the Presidential election to influence the future our country by voting. Mahinda and Maithree are both idiots, I said it, I said it, all of us are thinking this anyway so don’t shoot the messenger, don’t hate the player, hate the game, but Maithree is the lesser evil amongst the options available. Since Maithree is a common candidate the decision making power will be somewhat distributed amongst all the supporting parties, favoritism and monopolization shown towards certain companies  will be reduced (slightly again, but the slightly could still make a difference of millions right now based on how high the cost of development is and how money just goes missing).
No matter buffoon Ranil looks like he is actually a really smart guy; he’s well read and is the best person in politics we have to offer to help mend the foreign ties which Mahinda has frayed to serve his own ploys. Sri Lanka maybe small in size but has a vast amount of potential which it cannot retain. To keep talent in the country the government needs build an environment which can sustain these great minds and establish Sri Lanka as a power player within Asia, Ranil has the business sense to make this happen.

On the 8th of January let’s all go and vote for Maithree to end this tyrannical reign of the Rajapaksa family once and for all and hope we still are in time to stop this country from it descending to become the next banana republic.
