torn between things

Many a times we wonder what to choose, and we keep thinking if the choice made is good or bad, is it worthy of a choice or have I missed out something else by choosing this, nagging thoughts these are. I've found myself in such situations many times and I've realized that I keep experiencing this either through me or through my friends who like all of us get torn between things. For days till the time to decide comes we ponder over the possibilites, the outcomes, the happiness or sadness the choice would bring, and as the day nears to decide over the choices, anxiety soars, advices pour in, and sleep is lost totally. simply put we get torn between things.
I wish decision making was easy, that too when you're fully armed with the knoweledge of the choices that lie before you. but its never that easy, life is like that, when you start thinking of small problems like this, you get blown away by the sheer magnitude in which it is present in all waks of life, but sometimes when you stop and realise that you have started to hesitate less when deciding on things then you can be sure that you've been seasoned for life.

nike, fila, puma, adidas, reebok

I like Nike is an understatement, especially the latest shoes they've introduced. I've always wondered what makes me like nike, its definitely not because that rafael nadal endorses nike. there is something more, every new shoe they introduce appeals to me. Its not just the colours but it is the design overall. If you have noticed closely, nike shoes are sleek, while for instance reebok and adidas still have the previous generation shoes that look heavy and boxy(I feel reebok especially sucks big time). And one more thing I've noticed that nike has done in its new shoes is that, the swoosh logo of nike is predominantly displayed. Is this scrap sounding like a marketing analysis? ok, this is my blog, and I can write whatever I want, so carrying on.

So, coming back to nike, its a good example of cashing on the charisma factor of the brand and I can see clearly that nike has been concentrating on the range of slick looking shoes along with endorsements from big stars like federer, nadal and sharapova. btw the red dress that sharapova wore for US open wasn't that cool, so thats nike for you people. the closest competitor for nike I feel is adidas. fila looks better than reebok but I feel their shoes are not upto the level we are discussing here.
Guys out there who love nike, come join the bandwagon, those who are reebok fans come lets discuss. ah, I almost forgot puma, i haven't seen much of it considering the fact that they've just opened shop in India, but me being a HUGE ferrari fan i love puma too :) especially those puma shoes with the prancing horse on.

no terms, its just me

I don't want this blog to sound like a diary note, so no rephrasing my experiences. while I'm writing this I thought why not try my hand in writing a movie review. ok, so this is it. guys check out the Transformers movie review.

I happened to watch the movie Transformers(http://www.transformersmovie.com/) last weekend. first of all, the plot is a simple one, no twists and turns, there are two warring robo factions which are alien and they come to earth to fight for the possession of an all powerful cube, whether the good ones get the cube or not is the film. The animated stuff in the movie was really cool, especially the robots transforming from vehicles to robots was cool. I expected the movie to be like an all out war between robots(like the terminator) but Michael bay has mixed it with stuff like to robots trying to be cute like doggies, all this just watered the movie down. I feel i t could have been better if the director had maintained the film a bit serious as he had started the movie, but then still the movie is a worth watch especially for the compute graphics which slick fit to the movie.

so thats the review, I feel I could've done much better but i have the "I'm a first timer" excuse for my defence :) will keep posting.
