Best of Week: Do You Mind??!!

"Do You Mind??!!" the daily two question activity we all enjoy so much. Whether you choose to answer these questions seriously, jokingly, or whatever way you want to perceive them, it gets our minds to go father within its own thinking space, all within two minutes at a time. What I mean by is that it allows us to use our mind in such a way...that we would never had bothered thinking about or answering these questions if it weren't for bring enrolled into Humanities, Mr. J.E. Allen's humanities class of course. It makes me think about the questions at first hand and what it'd be like if I never came across these questions.

Some may say they're redundant, some may say they're amusing, to me it's a good chance to experiment with my mind and see what I've been holding back on. It's because, who the hell wakes up every morning with questions like this and takes the time to ponder upon these ambiguous, yet thoughtful questions? The way I see it, the answers are beyond infinite, and they can all be answered in different ways depending on how you perceive it.

Of course, the "Do You Mind??!!" activity isn't the only thing that has infinite answers to it, it's just one of those things that do. I am quite happy I did come across meeting Mr. Allen and following along with this activity because I enjoy thinking about something random, clever, childish, anything, to answer these questions.

I believe this activity's purpose is to help us enhance, explore, develop a more creative mind, for I feel as if it is carving our minds, molding it to make it exert better things. And whatever these better things are, I feel as if it clarifies my ideas a bit. Of course others might not think the same or feel as if their minds are being clarified, refreshed or whatever, I certainly think this was worthy of mentioning in my Best of Week blog posting.

Perhaps this can change the way I think, even if it is just a little activity that takes only four minutes of the sixteen hours we're awake. Even the smallest things can make quite a big change, for this activity allows one to find a greater meaning within their own mind, to explore, find, possibly recreate, and of course utilize. Thus, this challenges the status quo - our daily basis - and makes it a part of it.

And so "Do I Mind??!!" being asked these questions? Not at all.

Captured thought: Making videos go viral to spread information

Joseph takes a different approach on viewing Rebecca Black's "Friday" video. He talks about using the video's popularity to promote a cause or an advertisement.I truly believe this can be a good idea.

Comment - Joseph, your philosophies never seizes to amuse me. I agree with your approach to utilize something viral to alter its image, in an effort to use it against...well quintessentially CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO basically. Mind you, that is also an ADJACENT POSSIBLE. Looking at Japan, maybe Rebecca Balck's video can be put to some good use. Good idea mate. Cheers!

Captured Thought: People discriminate against teenagers in stores

Kathryn talks about how some stores profile their customers through age, discriminating their younger customers thinking they are impecunious. Of course we are talking about the store "that attract teens are those that have reasonable prices and have good customer service." She believes this is unjust and cruel, being fortunate of the stores that have good prices and good customer service.

Comment - Kathryn, I know where you are going with this, some store make it their prerogative to think their younger buyers, if they even classify us as buyers, have nothing more than lint in our pockets. I may be exaggerating, but I know this is true if you go to a store that carries more expensive products. I guess it's because they'd think we'd only window shop. But as we see time run into the future, I guess this will be resolved if noticed to a greater extent. It worked for woman's voting rights, why not this?
