I just recently got my eyes checked and the power has increased. Looks like I will be wearing glasses for even longer that I thought. Don’t know if that is a good thing or not. Yeah, I know nothing.
I wish I could write something intelligent. Something that would make the whole world stop and read what I wrote. Yeah, that would be great. Unfortunately, my vocabulary is filled with words like “great” and “awesome”, and that won’t really help. Someone actually told me that I saw “awesome” a lot. And “you freak me out”. I say that a lot too.
Hmmm, sometimes I think its better if one does not become popular, and sometimes I think its better if someone becomes popular. I mean, both of them have good points. If you are popular, people will actually want to know what you are thinking, and what you are doing, or whatever it is that you do. But then, if you are not popular, you have your privacy, and you can write whatever shit you want, and no one will bother you.
Maybe I should sit and write a book one day, and fill it with crap. Just to see who would buy it. What would eventually happen is that I would buy all the books, or make someone buy it forcefully. I would go out on the streets with a gun (I can shoot. Muahahaha) and tell people to buy my book. That would be funny.
I remember reading a blog long time back. A guy wrote it, and it was supposedly (according to him) the most boring blog ever written. I don’t have the blog address anymore. But the blog had posts like “I saw a pencil today. I picked it up”. That’s it. The whole post had just one line. And it was so damn funny. Yeah it seems boring, but it tells a lot doesn’t it? Yeah, so why I said about the blog is that if I found a book with such things written in it, I would go and buy it. Nice way to spend an afternoon.
I’m just so bored, that I am just typing whatever comes to my mind. Which reminds me. I suck at typing. Damn, after typing for more than 4 years (atleast), I still need to look at the keyboard to type words that I don’t type normally. Yeah, that makes no sense. Let me give an example. The word “yeah”. I use that so much, that I don’t need to look at the keyboard while typing it. But the word “messenger”, I need to look at the keyboard, else there will be some damn typo. Which I always seem to make. Which always sucks.

listen up!
It’s been so long since I wrote something here. Almost 2 months (or more. Who's keeping count? NOT you!). That is, excluding all the tags. That can’t be considered a post, right? I don’t know why exactly I haven’t been writing, and I don’t even want to dwell on that anymore.
Anyway, its not that I had a blogger’s block, or that I didn’t have time to write. Hell, I’ve had loads of time to write. So, was I lazy? I think not. Oh, right. I’m not going to dwell on that.
So work has started, and right now, I am undergoing training. It’s just like sitting in college, except that I am being paid, and I actually have to learn something. Till now, in college I used to just study for the exams, and not really knowing what I was studying I used to write my exams. Some change, this.
Yeah, so training is fun. And from my first salary, I got some stuff for my parents and sister. Nothing for myself. Suddenly, I just don’t need anything. I thought so much what to buy for myself, and I could not even think of anything to buy. Which seems to be a good thing. I know people who have 5 bucks in their account. I don’t know which is better, not knowing what to do with money, or knowing what to do with it, and spend all of it.
I got my mom a sari, which I must say was the toughest thing ever to buy. It was also the biggest disaster. (Ugh, another thing not to dwell on. The list just grows.) I am a person who hates shopping. I would love it if someone brought me stuff that I need, and not having to shop for it.
Right now, I am having a huge desire to buy an iPOD. I saw one of my friend’s ipod, and it just looks great. I mean the feel of the thing, man, its just awesome. I am just stopping myself from buying it. Because I know that if I buy it, I will regret it later. But what if I regret later for not buying the iPOD when I could. Ugh. Confusion.
All of my friends have moved on to other places. Not that I have many friends, but the few of them that I had are not in Bangalore anymore. It’s going to get boring in the weeks to come. Just today one of them is leaving to another city. Weird thing is that all the people I know are in different places of the country.
Don’t know what made me write all of this(I know its crap), but I was reading a blog, and lets just say that I got inspiration.
