Sense of Humour....
....or is it nonsense of humour??
Picking up from my previous post, have u realised how you suddenly become really funny when you are drunk? Forget you, have you realised how the general sense of humour quotient of the whole room goes up when you are drunk? Everything is funny....even a glass of water. It's just so hilarious that there is a glass of water just sitting there...on the table...looking at you...judging....
anyway.....
...the reason i bring it up is bocs, on my way back from said trip earlier...i was stopped by the UK Border something something (I don't remember. honestly..) at the coach station. Now....to give u some background....i was drunk, and I had travelled by bus which makes u more high for some reason...and I had been listening to "Hold me, thrill me..." on the iPod...which is highly psychadelic...so I was well....buzzed...
So the guy gets into the bus before anyone can get off and says..."Please keep some incentive vacation ready cos we are changing all gravel hers" Actually that's what i heard. In hindsight, he probably said "Please keep some ID ready cos we are checking all travellers". Luckily though my lack of understanding didn't make much difference as I saw others handing him IDs and did the same (somehow sight still trumps hearing in these circumstances).
When i got to him, he looked at me and said "are you a student?". My reaction was to look him straight (or atleast as straight as I could) in the eye....for about 2 minutes. After this rather long silence, during which I had an expression like he had asked me the square root of 23, he said..."sir, are you a student?". To which I intelligently replied..."Maybe". Now let me clarify....at that time it seemed the right thing to do....i don't know who he is...so why am i answering his questions? My mother taught me not to talk to strangers....
But it wasn't a very wise choice obviously and I was asked to wait while they did a number of checks and took all details including my neighbour's pet dog's name...
The cool (read: ass freezing especially since I did not have the jacket) wind jolted me sufficiently back to reality for me to get away from there with some dignity intact. (I even managed to give them a hard time about a check earlier during which they caused a friend to miss the coach etc etc. Woo Hoo!!) I don't think they'll ever stop me again....
But......i like to think that I have a good sense of humour you know...
and i also think that it's not for everyone...
like the other day..(read: 5 hrs back)...I was talking to my friend and this is how the conversation went:
Friend: That guy is a real player
Me: I prefer Winamp
Now i was forced to apologise for what i thought was a very very intelligent joke...so i guess....it's about knowing your audience at the end of the day....

My Experiments with Truth....
....about Vodka.
Seeing as I'm no Gandhi (in any sense of the word. I'm not bald, I don't have a walking stick and I don't really care much for salt) my experiments with truth are limited to the benefits of hiding it. Manipulating it so that you only tell someone the partial truth for various reasons. That's technically not lying....
Anywho...this post has nothing to do with that....so moving along to what i actually wanted to talk about...Vodka...
I had a surreal experience yesterday aided by generous doses of the russian brew....and it made me realise a few home truths....which naturally i am keen to share. To be honest i'm not entirely sure of some of the facts...but hey! i'm sure enough to write this...so here goes....
(All people, incidents, actions, screw ups in this post are totally real to the best of my memory and any resemblance to anything living or dead, mostly living unless something has drastically changed in the last 12 hrs, is purely factual)
Lessons Learnt and Truths Realised:
1) Having a bottle of Vodka after not sleeping all night, seems like a good idea. It is not.
2) Downing the whole bottle in one go and then buying another because you still feel sane seems like an even better idea. This is definitely not.
3) You think you can't get drunk. You will. Soon. More than you can handle.
4) Vodka doesn't make you smart. At all.
5) It makes you catch the next available bus that day. To Manchester.
6) Vodka and a moving bus are the best way to fall asleep. Peacefully. Soundly....till u wake up in Manchester.
7) You will not wake up in Manchester. You will......in Leeds.
8) National Express guys are nice. They give you a free ride back to Manchester. Because you are drunk.
9) You think it is so warm and don't take a jacket. It is cold. Very cold. Even inside the bus. You realise this once you get out.
10) You get to Manchester. Finally.
11) You get up from your seat quickly. You shouldn't have. There are drunk elephants running around in your head. Playing football. Aggressively.
12) You don't think you are hungry. You are. You don't eat. You should have.
13) The aforementioned elephants are now drunk AND hungry. They are still playing football. More aggressively.
14) You see someone smoking and making smoke rings. You think it would be fun to know to do that. You might think of trying. (Let's leave the rest of that story out)
15) You have an assignment to submit in 2 days. You haven't started. You decide to start.
16) You feel creative. Very creative. You are. I said creative not intelligent. You still can't do finance.
17) Vodka is a good gambler. You make a ton of money at the Casino....then lose it. All of it.
18) You manage to make it to the bus to get back. It is freezing. You feel much more sane.
19) You listen to the iPod. The song you are listening to is "Gay Fish". You sing it out loud. You think you have a great voice. You don't. Luckily you are sitting alone.
20) You get up the next day morning with the mother of all headaches. What the fuck did you expect!!
and....that's the way it goes......

Playing bored games.....
...same old life, same old things to do, nowhere to go and no-one to go with...life, is tres boring!!
I mean today is a Monday, without school (Btw, i seem to have class for like 1 day in a week which i find very weird for a 1 yr MBA. I hear that 4 yr MBAs are more intense!!) Anywho....so it's almost like a Sunday. And on days without school i usually wake at like 3 or 4. Cos, let's face it, there is nothing to do!! but, I decided to try and change that. (I mean, how bad can it be to give it a try right?) So instead of 3 i woke up at 10. Really! (I actually set the alarm for 9, woke up and then thought, "haha..Ya right!" reset it for 10 and went back to sleep) And guess what?? I'm bored at 5 instead of 10. Basically my life has taken a step forward, literally, by like 5 hrs. And we're back to square 1!
On the bright side, i have a tip to look forward to over the next 2 days so that should kinda be better. Plus i have a book or 2 to read. (One of them is about Jesus is a sham or some such.....should be fun!!) Plus i dloaded 3 or 4 songs that i can listen to till i am bored to death of them....(Damn i'm so bored i don even know what to blog about...) So i guess that's it...
Au revoir...and what not...

Scotoma....
...the mind chooses to see what it wants to...
A friend blogged about it recently...(take a bow metzy!! Will the real metzy please stand up) and it got me thinking...how the true it is!!
think about it....everytime in life...do you really see things objectively for what it is? Or do you see that which you want to? Do you see that glass of water half full on a shitty day or do you see an almost full glass as not even full? Do u see the actions of someone for what it could be or do you see it for something that you want it to be, or for that matter what u think it is...without really knowing? Do you pass judgement? Do you trust blindly???
It's like in the Matrix, where the little kid tells NEO..."Don't try to bend the spoon instead realise the truth....there is no spoon".
It's an interesting phenomenon...really....how it all pans out and the cards fall....
Take for example the course i am in. It's shitty....no point, no real end product, no real content, no real MBA. (It's like a major money spinning mechanism. People one fine day got together and decided...hey u know what...lets see if we can squeeze like 14k pounds out of a bunch of suckers! And u know what lets actively target the countries like India where even though they cannot afford it and will have to mortgage their house, car, dog and neighbours a few times over to get the money, ppl will still raise the cash and come!!) But it's there bcos ppl like to see it as something big and people running it are convinced that it is the solution to the world's hunger problem, world peace and just about anything else you can think off. (UN goes...Damn we need to solve this issue in bahrain. Lets get a football MBA in....they are the only guys who can solve this!! Yeah right!!) But then there's me who is convinced otherwise and could well have just burnt all that money and it would have probably been the same! But that's where Scotoma kicks in.....am i looking at it that way bcos i feel so let down by the course and that all the course is not as bad as the beginning?? Is it just in my mind and maybe a more open mind would actually turn this all around and make some damn sense??
But it's never that simple is it? Academics are least of your problems though at the time they always seem so huge and everything, it's probably the easiest to deal with. Why? Cos u need marks....that's it. It's quantifiable...yeah sure it affects life...but does it really make a huge difference? The guys who do the best are guys who invaribaly leave school, college or whatever (Einstein, bill gates anyone?? Yeah i aim high. Always go big...that way when u crash u know u atleast tried!! It's kind of an antithesis that i aim high fully expecting to crash...but then...such is life)
It's the life choices that end up screwing u up! Scotoma in life...now that's a bitch. (it is actually as bad as it sounds. Scotoma of life!! Oh my god doctor??what does that mean? It means that...well ur screwed!) I mean really....when things seem a certain way, when u are sure ur getting screwed by someone (and not in the way u'd like..) being taken advantage of, but u just can't do anything about it. you know u should, u don't need to put urself through this...but no!!! u still go through it day after day after day....why?? bcos u can't help it! Mind says dude...ur screwed!! but u think that's just scotoma...it can't be that bad can it? That's not what is happening is it? Na.....it'll be alright. It's just a phase!! Wake up jackass!! ur being played like a well tuned piano i tell u!! smell the coffee (rather bad one that i make as well. I really need to find some good coffee. u know the kind that makes u wake up in the morning and go...hmmm!! anyway..i digress...). U know u get left feeling like Tom from those T&J cartoons where he gets conned by Jerry and then his head is replaced by a Jackass's head when he realises it!! (That used to be good fun. Screw work and watch T&J....haha good times...and once again...i digress...)
so what do you do? well....apparently nothing....cos common sense and logic goes out the window...so....u just keep trying to bend the spoon i guess...

Deja Vu - all over again....
.....it's that sinking feeling....all over again!
When u know u have something to do and no time to do it in, and when u want to do something and can't do it, and when u want to know what the fuck is happening but can't ask, and when u want to eat something other than cornflakes but can't!!(actually that's just one of the reasons...there's a myraid of other reasons..which i shall not dvelve into at this point in time...)
..and to add to all that mess is a presentation/assignment due in the morning and u are starting it at 10 in the night. (well the plan is to start it at 10, but doesn't look like that's gonna happen either....so looks like it's gonna be a long night!!) and it's on finance! (ever heard of the term double whammy?? Well whoever came up with that certainly didn't have this sort of experience...else it would have been multiple whammy!!)
So then what do you do?? Well u apparently blog about it like that's gonna make matters better!
but the best part of it all is that...it's all happened before! A number of times...and every time it seems worse than the last time. (well it probably is, but when ur in such a mess it all seems the same no??)
such is life....and it ends in 2 blog posts in a day? touchdown!!
(That's the ending of the Christmas for brown folks song...for the uninitiated...listen to it...it's good)

Dum Dum Dum...Dumda Dum...Dumda Dum!!
That, my friends, is cult music!
It's the music for Darth Vader during his appearances in Star Wars! (He's like a WWE wrestler. Everytime he enters he has music playing...pretty awesome stuff...)
The name's Vader, Darth Vader i tell you! Really I can't think of any other character who is half as famous as the masked villian! (And....he' also one of the most popular! You find more people who like Darth Vader than ppl who like batman or superman i'm sure. Superman ppl prolly don't like cos he wears his undies outside and let's face it...that's kinda weird...)
The only other character in the Star Wars universe who gives any competition to Darth is Yoda. ("Competition give you i will...hmmm") And Yoda of course is famous for his unique way of talking....there's just something weirdly cool about inverting sentences. think about it....you go up to someone on the street and say..."Up the Fuck Shut!!"...just sounds so much more gangster no??
But i was just watching the whole series the other day....(All 6 movies...one after the other..) and i must say...it is quiet brilliant! You have to give them credit for coming up with something like this out of nowhere and making it so big. Especially since the first 3 movies didn't even have the full on special effects abilities of the later movies! And the characters are also some of the most well fleshed out characters in recent memory in books and movies....
That also explains why they are used so much even in advertising! I have seen a number of ads using Darth especially in various ways. And it is just unbelievable funny! I'm sure it does a lot for the brand as well to have association with Darth! (I'm sure Darth is also easier to work with than JK Rowling! that lady makes a killing on Harry Potter and is a walking talking business i tell you...but then again, when u create a world with the sort of following that HP has, i guess u don't want to give it away for free...but still!! Darth trumps HP any day.....)
So then, I was wondering...who what a conversation between batman, superman, darth vader, yoda, hp etc would be like...if they formed a group like the Avengers..(2 men, 2 jedi and a potter place??)
Superman: People all over the world need help and we will provide it. We will call ourselves the Supermen! that way..
Batman: (in a husky voice) who made you the leader?
Yoda: bad your throat is. Mine too. hmm hmm. Need some help we both do.
Superman: Look. focus guys. Yoda..we'll deal with ur issues later. For now we need to ...
(Music starts..."Dum dum dum...dumda dum..dumda dum...)
Superman: Christ...Really Darth...do you have to play that tape everytime you walk in. It's getting on my nerves..
DV: (Heavy breathing) don't underestimate the power of the dark side...
HP: Ok. Look i need to go beat this voldermort guy. and flirt with hermione while pretending that i would like her to get together with Ron, and there's ginny also.. Life's complicated as hell as it is...I really don't need this u know..
Yoda: 99 problems i have, but a bitch ain't one....
Batman: Alfred, get me some coffee please...looks like this will take a while...
Superman: Ok everybody..settle down. Right. Look i'm the leader bcos i can fly faster than a speeding bullet..and i'm the man of steel. and i...ahhhh...ahhh....
Yoda: Stop choking superman u must, darth vader.
HP: Yeah come on man....Expelliarmus!! (DV's arm comes off). Oh crap. Sorry....i forgot u have a prosthetic arm...
(Meanwhile, Alfred comes with coffee for everybody)
Yoda: Hmm Hmm..The force is strong in this coffee...like it I do...hmm hmm
(Suddenly...there' a crash and the roof collapses and Agent Smith comes through...)
Agent Smith: Hello Mr. Anderson! We meet again...our fates are....wait a min...what the hell..who are you guys? Where's NEO?
HP: You're in the wrong set. The Matrix set is next door.
Yoda: Dark glasses you wear i see. to the dark side you have gone...
DV: (Removing light saber) There's only one way to settle this...
Superman: Settle what? GOD! DV...you need to chill man!!
HP: Ok that's it i'm leaving...Accio Broomstick!
So as you can see...this isn't going to work...so i guess we can just stay happy about the avengers..
Anywho..that's it for now...see you all next time i will...
It's the music for Darth Vader during his appearances in Star Wars! (He's like a WWE wrestler. Everytime he enters he has music playing...pretty awesome stuff...)
The name's Vader, Darth Vader i tell you! Really I can't think of any other character who is half as famous as the masked villian! (And....he' also one of the most popular!

(I'm sure Darth is also easier to work with than JK Rowling! that lady makes a killing on Harry Potter and is a walking talking business i tell you...but then again, when u create a world with the sort of following that HP has, i guess u don't want to give it away for free...but still!! Darth trumps HP any day.....)
So then, I was wondering...who what a conversation between batman, superman, darth vader, yoda, hp etc would be like...if they formed a group like the Avengers..(2 men, 2 jedi and a potter place??)
Superman: People all over the world need help and we will provide it. We will call ourselves the Supermen! that way..
Batman: (in a husky voice) who made you the leader?
Yoda: bad your throat is. Mine too. hmm hmm. Need some help we both do.
Superman: Look. focus guys. Yoda..we'll deal with ur issues later. For now we need to ...
(Music starts..."Dum dum dum...dumda dum..dumda dum...)
Superman: Christ...Really Darth...do you have to play that tape everytime you walk in. It's getting on my nerves..
DV: (Heavy breathing) don't underestimate the power of the dark side...
HP: Ok. Look i need to go beat this voldermort guy. and flirt with hermione while pretending that i would like her to get together with Ron, and there's ginny also.. Life's complicated as hell as it is...I really don't need this u know..
Yoda: 99 problems i have, but a bitch ain't one....
Batman: Alfred, get me some coffee please...looks like this will take a while...
Superman: Ok everybody..settle down. Right. Look i'm the leader bcos i can fly faster than a speeding bullet..and i'm the man of steel. and i...ahhhh...ahhh....
Yoda: Stop choking superman u must, darth vader.
HP: Yeah come on man....Expelliarmus!! (DV's arm comes off). Oh crap. Sorry....i forgot u have a prosthetic arm...
(Meanwhile, Alfred comes with coffee for everybody)
Yoda: Hmm Hmm..The force is strong in this coffee...like it I do...hmm hmm
(Suddenly...there' a crash and the roof collapses and Agent Smith comes through...)
Agent Smith: Hello Mr. Anderson! We meet again...our fates are....wait a min...what the hell..who are you guys? Where's NEO?
HP: You're in the wrong set. The Matrix set is next door.
Yoda: Dark glasses you wear i see. to the dark side you have gone...
DV: (Removing light saber) There's only one way to settle this...
Superman: Settle what? GOD! DV...you need to chill man!!
HP: Ok that's it i'm leaving...Accio Broomstick!
So as you can see...this isn't going to work...so i guess we can just stay happy about the avengers..
Anywho..that's it for now...see you all next time i will...
