How to tell if I am bored

I keep refreshing my mail box to check if I have received any mail. And this refreshing thing happens every 2 minutes.

Sad.

Reminiscence

Really bored this evening, have nothing interesting to do. So I just started reading my older blogs and all the comments that I had written. Man, I've been blogging since 2005! How long ago is that! And now for some numbers that no one else is interested in: (except me, of course!). I wrote 65 posts in 2005,2006. And 26 in 2007,2008!! And 8 in 2009! (I posted one that I had written in 2007 now, which was stuck as a draft for 2 years! Sigh!) . Which makes this my 100th post! Wow! In 4.5 years. Long, long time. It should not have taken so many years! haha! 

I read this, the time when I read Robert Ludlum's Bourne Identity! How cool is that! I didn't even remember that I had blogged about it. I had also found Matt Damon cute! hehehe...

I still get extremely lazy and bored! I still don't have a car driving license. I love my two wheeler (which is technically my sister's!). Some things never change I suppose!

So for the past two hours (or more), I've been reminiscing about the past few years of mine. I like where I am at the moment. I suppose I have said this already in some post, but its nice. I've few good friends who I know will be there for me when I need them (I honestly didn't think it was possible!). I still get along fine with my family with a lot of fights! I like my work and the environment. I've travelled to two countries (which made me realise how much I like seeing new places!) . How cool is this? When I was in college, I thought I would be the last person in class who would go somewhere.  (so much for self confidence!) 

I've done so many things that I thought I would never do, and I enjoyed doing them. There was a post where i had posted all the things I would like to do and all the things I have done. Few things have changed! I want to do some more things that I have not marked there.

Have done the following( which I had not marked that I wanted to do!): 

• Communicated with someone without sharing a common spoken language (in Turkey. Was sort of fun! I wish I had blogged more when I was there)
  
• Thought to yourself that you're living your dream
• Taken a road trip. 
• Had two hard disks for my computer( Guess I had it before and didn't know it!)

and one thing that I had marked:

• Toured ancient sites. (I saw Ephesus when I was in Turkey! Will post pics if I feel like it! Mostly I wont.) It was so cool, man! 
  

And I realised that I can't do few things - mostly because of my fears. I realised that I have an extreme case of a fear of heights. Some time ago, there was some team building activity that I had gone to from office. I had to climb up (dont know how high it was), and had to jump to a net backwards. Its like, you can't see where you are jumping. And while I was standing there to jump, I could just not do it. The more time I spent there, the more scared I got. I was actually shaking there. Literally! I eventually jumped though, and I thought I would not be scared the next time I do it. So I went again, only to make a fool of myself. I got scared again, and started shaking again. And that is when I realised, much to my chagrin, that I cannot do the following. 

• Bungee jumped
• Gone sky diving. 

Its all good though, all good! 

I'm actually smiling here! 

Being myself

Like a moron, I have been obsessed with the Big Brother show (the US one). It started on Saturday afternoon, around 1 in the afternoon when I switched the channel to VH1. I had never watched Big brother before, and was always wondering what the big deal is. I am a big fan of reality TV shows ( I don't know why!!), and when I saw that Big Brother is on, I could not help but watch it! And so I did. The only problem was that it was a marathon. Which meant that they would show the whole series at one go. No big deal, anyway it was a saturday, and it should finish by evening. Or so I thought. I watched it till 11:30 at night. Continuously. They stopped showing it at 11:30, else I would have watched it some more.

So on sunday, i woke up a little late, and I thought of just checking if the show was coming on TV. And it was! Yay!! So I started yet again to see it. Luckily ( phew!) I had plans of meeting friends, so I left home at one - for lunch, bowling and some ice cream. The ride back was so awesome. There was no one on the streets!! I mean, MG Road was empty! It was so weird to see hardly any people on a sunday evening! I reached back home around 6 ( I guess) and it started again. My parents were going mad. I tried making them watch it, and tried telling them that this is so much better than the stupid serials that they are so obsessed about. Obviously they thought I was a moron.

And so I watched. And watched. Till 12:30 in the night. Yes, 12:30! I had to see who won! I wanted any of 2 people to win (Sharon or Adam), and Adam won. Like I care.

And today is a monday. I can barely open my eyes. I just want to sleep.

Did I learn anything this weekend? Yes, of course. I realised that not eating chocolate ice cream makes me bowl really bad. (Yesterday I scored a pathetic 65. Yuck.) I also learnt that if you want to succeed, you should know how to lie and show that everything that you do is great (even know it is not, duh!).

Did I learn anything useful this weekend? No. Sigh. Atleast I could have read a book.

Sleep! I want sleep!!!

I just

figured out how to blog by mailing! Yes, yes, I know that this feature was there, like, forever! I never got around to doing it though.

Just did it. And I am so excited! Yay!!!

Any one has any idea if it is possible to add labels through mail?

Small talk

I don't understand this whole concept of small talk. It is mostly used (I understand) when people don't know each other that well, and just have to talk to each other.

I can't do it. I just can't. What to talk about with people when you don't know them? Actually, I dont even find the need to do it. When there are a bunch of girls sitting, the topic mostly revolves around guys, and clothes. If it is a bunch of guys, they talk about girls or some of sport. Why can't we all have more intelligent conversation? Why does it have to be the same old boring stuff always. And if people are not talking about what I have already said, people will make fun of others. and then laugh. Call someone fat. Or show that some guy has a mole in his face. It is not funny, people. Get a life!

So what is this intelligent conversation? Books? Music? Cartoons? Movies? Politics? What!! The thing why this wont work is because everybody cannot talk about books. Not all read them. Not all follow politics either. So - talk about the weather!

But what is the point of talking to someone when you know you have nothing in common, and that all you will be talking to each other is about the weather?!

PS. I know. I just wrote what was in my head. Lots of confused thoughts. Needed to write it down to get thinking properly.

9^2+19^2/22

I am so bored. This is obviously since I have nothing to do in office.
what I did since I reached office:

1. Checked gmail.

2. Read all the blogs that I read usually to see if it is updated.The 1st 2 things are done every half an hour or so. But then, I keep hoping that someone updates their blog so that I can have something to read.
I don’t know why I am so obsessed. Anyway, moving on.
3. I switch on music and start listening to it, adding more songs as time goes by.

4. I read something on a blog about XKCD. Something I like to read- the comics that is. So I start reading the comics. The thing about XKCD is that I dont really understand everything that is written there. I understand most of it, but not all. I really wish i could get everything. For example there is a language called 'Lisp'. And apparently it is the 2nd oldest hign level language! How cool is that? Luckily there is wikipedia to help me get some of the terms I dont understand ( Like Lisp)

5. I suddenly realise that I have not read all of the XKCD pages. So I make myself a plan to read every damn comic. I read, take a break for lunch, and read again, all the time listening to music. By the time I reached comic #270 ( there are about 400 of them as of now) I am totally bugged. I cannot read anymore. perhaps I could do it another day. Just cant do it now.

6. So then, I decide to write.

Things I read about today

- Euphemism (I didnt know what the word meant, or why it was used. I guess I was too lazy to look it up until today)

- Perl

- Lost Film

- Labyrinth

- Simple Plan

- Sheeple

- String theory

- Unreachable memory

- Alfred Hitchcock ( I watched a movie made my him in 1948 - ROPE. nice movie) - guitar hero (its a game i want to play)

- Eclipse software ( I still dont know what it is)

- meerkats

- Free Culture

- Regular expressions

- Internet speed ( the speed of the internet is 2/3rd the speed of light)

- Routers

- Kurt Hasely

- Theseus

- thesaurus

- tracert www.google.com

In case you dont understand anything I have written above, you have clearly not been bored out of your wits. Which actually means you are pretty lucky.
The thing is, it is not only in office that i am so bugged. Even when I was at home at the weekend, I had nothing to do. I watched 5 movies. Yes, five.

- Ocean's eleven

- Ocean's twelve

- Bucket List

- Michael Clayton

- Rope

I also played some games on the comp. It was even more boring at home since the goddamn net was down. The universe is against me I guess. Ugh, it sucks.

Anyway, there is a good thing. I realised that there are somethings that I want to know more about. Like Greek mythology. Like Networking. Like algorithms.

okay, I am off for a coffee break. I will see you next time when I am totally bugged.

Only problem is that blogger does not open here. so what is the point of writing, you ask. I dont know. You decide.

PS- the title? fourth root of the number is pi?

Yo!

This weekend is so weird. I’ve done nothing, and I feel so good (because of the fact that I’ve done nothing? Who knows! )

My driver’s license is expiring tomorrow. The learner’s license, that is. And by the way, I still have not learned how to drive. I will be wasting 100 bucks because of that. What will be better is, if I don't get it renewed at all. There is no point anyway. I haven't touched the car in something like 3 months. I am petrified of driving, and I don't know why! I mean, I can drive the two wheeler, and I can rip in it, like there is no tomorrow. But I can't sit and drive a car, so strange! And also so irritating, damn!

Whole of saturday was spent listening to music, and now, sunday again, I am doing nothing. I can watch a movie or something. Should go and see what's on TV today.

Oh, and I didn't eat ice cream yesterday. All coz others change their mind so easily, sigh! When I don't want to eat something, I will get it, and if I make up my mind to eat something, I won't get it. Why! Why why why! So many questions, and no answers. Who needs answers anyway. We all know that there are no answers.
