color block of hell.

if you ever wondered what you might be able to use that is incredibly intriguing yet makes you want to rip out your own hair, i'll tell you the perfect thing. i'll even make it easier for you, i'll give you an image.

it's a rubik's cube my friends.

these small, colorful blocks bring out to extremely different but exhilarating emotions simultaneously. the first one is a level of intensity in the emotions of determination and joy. you have just mixed up the colors of the block which has taken forever so you don't have two colors repeating in a row, and you are finally ready to undergo the looming task ahead. you must now complete the cube. of course you start off and you get two or three blocks of the same color to line up around the correct central cube only to find that stray block of color on the other side that was supposed to fit right on the corner. in the process of trying to reposition that singular block into the pattern you have already spent five minutes creating, you have shifted all of the blocks everywhere and have to start over again. this process repeats itself until the cube itself is solved. then the emotions of determination and joy are simultaneously juxtaposed with another extreme emotion. one that is very different. this emotion is spite. you begin to hate the cube. you want to peel of the stickers and put them in the correct location to fool everyone into thinking that you have actually completed the endeavor, and, therefore, you are brilliant. of course these different emotions are occuring simultaneously now so the only reaction is one similar to the following one.

that was me approximatley forty-five minutes into my first and sadly only attempt in solving the cube this far. i kept coming so close to attaining my goal, only so watch it disperss in front of my eyes literally seconds later. solving it actually brings such a rush that i bought my own this afternoon. i believe that given more time sunday night, i would have solved it. however i don't believe the people that say it can all be solved by doing the proper algorithms. it is a matter of time and luck. so i ask, how much time do you have, and how lucky do you think you are? the answer to these questions are up to you.
