Its not the end of the world as we know it:)

Please stop with the non stop apocalyptic predicaments please!
It’s absolutely unhealthy for us to put so much energy, and thought into this nonsense.   Everyday there are people dying, and that’s their personal apocalypse; but for the once that remain living there are way more interesting things to think about than death.
I recently came in contact with cable television, and noticed that once respectful somewhat educational channels like Discovery, or History are freakin filled with apocalyptic paranoia.   Their marketing department definitely picked up on this trend and exploited it to infinity.  There are shows that depict how the world will be after humanity will cease, and how is that educational.  Children who are raised by mass media are growing up along side these fears; this is not the middle ages; we do not burn people on a stake, well at least not as a public event. 
I think Robot Chicken did an episode where they had instead of My Little Pony commercial, they created my little Apocalypse Pony:

on concentration

When you have something very important to do that requires a lot of concentration, do not forget to scatter your mind, and make sure that you will only be able to concentrate in fragments.  Your thoughts should be like blotches of random paint thrown onto a canvass. 
 You go into a frenzy and you try to whip as much paint as you can.  The Canvas becomes denser. You step aside to make yourself some coffee, pass through the apartment picking up random small garbage off the floor, and then you realize that pretty much half of the stuff you just did is rubbish, and that’s when you get back to the canvas and you shake some of the paint off it, and then back to the frenzy. 
Don’t forget that its best to be in a  private setting, or if there are people around then you can bitch at them for messing up your concentration outloud or using your inside voice.  Remember! If you bitch right, then you might be able to turn it into a mantra that will help you concentrate on your work.

To retain your sanity you have to constantly axercise your brain; and the best way to do so is casual learning.  I listen to amazing educational podcasts to flex some brain cells while I do menial tasks, or when I'm in transit.  At first I thought that it was just me being an information junkie, but over a bit of time I've realized that my learning ability has immensely improved.  I would like to share some of these podcasts with you, and hope that they will have the same effect on you as they did on me.

Stuff you should know Podcast: (Very well done, and quite accessible)

Stuff you missed in history class Podcast:  (this is another podcast that is a part of the "How stuff works" family, and even though it has frequent host changes, its still one of my favorites)

In Our time Podcast: (this is a little high brow podcast from the BBC, but trust me on this one as the topics are just amazing; and the panel of discussants is creme de la creme)

This is enough for now.  Next time I will focus on music podcasts, and pleasure do find some sweet ass podcasts and let me know about them.

Pets are very useful in keeping your sanity in winter time.

Here are a few suggestions for activities you can enjoy with your pets when it's unbearably cold outside:
