It's raining outside, and things are mercifully quiet. People drive by in their cars, minding their own business, never paying any attention to the person in the car next to them. And yet somehow the world still functions. It's an amazing part of society of how everyone can mind their own business, and the world still turns 'round.

    I just finished watching 'Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex', and it's one of the best anime I've ever watched. It was named as an inspiration for The Matrix, so you get the cool sci-fi stuff without the lame plot and characters. The concept of Stand Alone Complex refers to a phenomenon in which you have hundreds of copies without an original. An example of this would be crimes that are committed everyday. Murder, stealing, these occur daily across the country. All similar in nature, but without an original from which to copy. Another example would be clothing. Most teenagers dress nearly identical. You get yourself a large group of people, and maybe three people will be wearing the same pants or shirt. Once again, all copies without an original. 

    As a side note, the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack is awesome. I haven't enjoyed one like this since the Death Note soundtracks.
