this trick works. my twist on it is to watch people play old video games on youtube.

however, it doesn't work when i need a clear mind, especially when i am exhausted. it is frustrating that no amount of movies, songs, video games will help clear your mind -- at least not mine -- which in turn makes you stay awake...

i used to know how meditate in college, but i have somehow lost that ability it seems (yes, one can lose it lol)
