“I wish that life was like it is in the movies,
´cause the hero always gets his way,
No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road,
At the end he´s got a smile on his face...”
I can be pretty tactless...unreasonably candid, at times to the point of being rude. Yeah, I know it’s not a good thing. I’m old enough to “know” when to keep my mouth shut; but then I’m often tempted to do the exact opposite. More often than not, simply because it makes things easier. It makes the other person see things exactly the way you want him to; you don’t have to keep spinning a pack of lies; and it takes just a fraction of the effort it would’ve taken to put things otherwise.
I see it as normal to get annoyed & angry once in a while, to hate somebody for some time (I don’t hold grudges for life. I’m not a baby, or a dork!). I’m not a saint. I can’t lovingly embrace the entire human race & I have my own pet peeves. Unfortunately I, all too often, get caught in a position where I just can’t explain to the other person the “why” of my displeasure without coming across as a complete bitch. Over the years I’ve almost stopped caring about what people think. But then I am a social being and for all I say or all I do, I won’t pretend it doesn’t matter at all. At least it matters to the extent that people think I’m as evil as I actually am, and not any more so. Especially when I’m willing to accept and admit that I am evil.
And then I come across people who are unrealistically good. Their string of sacrifices and their heart-rending thoughtfulness betrays no limits; their frustratingly illogical ideas of right & wrong never cease to amaze; and somewhere it starts bordering on & eventually translating into pretence. Sometimes, it is downright pretence right from the start. For sake of political correctness (if there’s any left) I won’t go into the details of the pretence. But it is astounding to watch the perennial saint turn sinner; it is exasperating, if anything, to hear their irrational explanations for playing the perennial saint; and it is tragic when you don’t figure in the fan club. Needless to say their fan club spans 90% of the face of the earth. Thank you, remaining 10%!!
My harebrained idea of diplomacy is withholding information. Sadly that’s as far as I can go. And so, I’m often left wondering how sick people think I am :-? And I wonder why others can’t see through the absurdity of the entire situation... and finally I wonder, is it me or is it them...

The heat, the heat!
I say it’s easy to write bullshit. Needless to say, it’s absolutely unnecessary to prove it and hence I shall gladly go ahead and do so for next few lines :D
It touched 47 degrees today I heard. Yeah, it might be 47 degrees in other corners of the earth, but unfortunately for you I’m caught in one of ‘those’ corners.
For the past few hours, I’ve been subjecting my already erratic brain to stress it has not endured in quite some time. Now the heat and the unrelenting “stress” has set the molecules (or is it atoms :-? ) of my brain into a state I would like to refer to as plasma. I love saying my brain is melting, but today it has gone a step further and done me proud. In fact if you look closely you might observe a magnetic field developing around my head.
I wonder if Thing (“Thing” is an adorable li’l, violent, spastic robotic arm that keeps coming after me) needs the nuts & bolts to hold it together any longer. I think the joints might just fuse together if left in the sun; it must be the evil AC working against the joints!
Ahhhh, the AC...
After the sun roasts all human functions into a state of uncontrollable malfunction, the AC slowly entices the brain into a near-permanent (fairly recurrent) state of inactivity. The sudden (unbelievable) relief penetrates your skin, seeps through your bones and steadily makes it way towards the entity I mentioned is now in the plasma state. Time comes to a standstill, as does work (huh?!) Life goes on peacefully for the next few hours (hours did you say!) as I shrug off a few irksome attempts to disturb the tranquillity around me.
Then, a sudden tornado starts taking shape around me and before I know it, the calm’s replaced by a blast of heat and my brain cells, already deep in their slumber, start jerking spasmodically. It works like a nuclear reaction and soon all my brain cells start flying about... oh wait! I think I hear a thud... awww, another cell hit my skull walls... these cells I tell you... tsk tsk tsk...
And coming back to the point...
There was none to begin with! Hah, gotcha!
>> Those who think scientific terms & theories have been misused above can go take a hike... maybe in the afternoon sun tomorrow, that’ll teach you a lesson!!
And those of you thinking it wasn’t 47 degrees today... Why are you even reading my blog?!
