on a much more positive note, i went out to a bar that i never go to last night and drank some brews with some friends. had a great time and seriously cant wait to do it again. going to continue the fun escapades when i go see District 9 in about 45 min. everything i have heard and read about it suggests that it will be amazing and via its very low production cost could usher in a new era of film making. imagine that a great movie with good special effects that costs less than 50 million dollars to make.
everyday i throw out numbers like 10 million, 150 thousand, 250 million. those numbers seem so commonplace now days what with how expensive things are on a daily basis that we encounter in our lives; tv shows, movies, wars. money weighs so much that we tend to forget just how much something like 10 million dollars would be cumbersome in its bill form. from everything im seeing on the internet Here and Here 10 million dollars in 100 dollar bill denominations would weigh about 220lbs. an average keg of beer weighs about 145lbs and most people know how weighty that is. so imagine a keg and a half of beer as money and see how hard that is to carry around. 10 million in gold would be almost 10 times that weight at 1,242 lbs. so, cash or diamonds are your best bet. diamonds of course would be the best over all being that their value is much less flakey and paper money, but they are also a bit harder to unload for a usable form of currency.
not that any of this matter because in my life time, if i could have all the money that i will ever make and have made all at once, it most likely wouldnt even come close to 10 million dollars. that is the majority of the population too. scary isnt it, when you put the quantities of denominational income into plain numbers, you realize just how little your life is worth in the grand scheme of the currency of life. money, the bane of my existence and yet necessary for it at the same time.
off to see the movie now.
