bottled creativity

over three years of this blog, i've had my fair share of writer's block.

not any more though.

these days, when i don't know what to write, i just check my twitter favourites.

about half the stuff in my favourites that are my own tweets are blog post ideas.

no kidding.

ps: this one wasn't. although it quite possibly could have been. must check favourites again.

invincible

a story i just read reminded me of this incident:

my friend was riding his bike, and got knocked down.

he didn't get injured at all.

so he stood up, shook his fist at the sky, and screamed out loud:

i'm fucking invincible!!!


he then picked up his bike and rode off.

yesterday's dream

i've started remembering my dreams again. i'm happy about it.

anyway, yesterday's dream:

i was back in college (xavier's, to be specific). i was on my way to attend a lecture in the multimedia room. it was a *religion* lecture (i was never taught religion in college, btw - the nearest was "PHV" - something and human values. in 11th.)

anyway. i was in college, walking to the MMR. i was almost late for the lecture.

on the corridor, i caught up with my friend (who btw, happened to be my lab partner when i was in college). in my dream, she was pretty thin, and about my height (in real life, she's kinda chubbier and shorter). and was wearing a green t-shirt and jeans. in fact, barring her face, she looked suspiciously similar to one of my recent crushes. hmmm.

anyway, she was carrying a cardboard box that was full of t-shirts.

apparently she'd been helping organize some musical event, and the t-shirts were branded with someone who played there.

i can describe the t-shirt, cos it looked rather cool:

it was an indigo cotton collared tee, with one white and blue stripe running the length of the seam from the armpit to the hem on the sides, and on the right side, midway through the stripe, the name of the band was printed in the same white and blue pattern, in the same thickness as the stripe.

anyway, in the dream, she gave me a t-shirt, but it was one size too small.

we then sat at the same desk in the MMR (in real life, the MMR didn't have desks, it had chairs that had one broad armrest that was broad enough to rest a writing pad or notebook).

because of the cardboard box, there wasn't enough room at the desk to take notes, so halfway through the presentation, we moved it from our desk to the floor at the front of the classroom.

also, for some reason, the guy conducting the lecture (a thin, tallish priest i didn't recognize), gave her the remote control that could control the presentation.

we were too busy talking during the presentation to see what it was about.

that's when i woke up.

45 minutes late for work.

birthday resolutions

10 days later, time for a review:

1. i won't drink, except on occasion. and i won't drink too much.

verdict:

so/so. i did drink a fair bit on friday night, but it was all social, and i didn't drink till i even got buzzed. i think that's fine.

2. i will go to church and pray often.

verdict:

failed. completely. let's see if i can pick up now.

3. i will exercise.

verdict:

not started yet. the cycle will be fixed tomorrow. once i start cycling to work five days a week, i can forgive the few days i've missed.

4. i will pick up my performance at work.

verdict:

work in progress. not much success yet. efforts are underway.

5. i will sort out my emotional baggage

verdict:

work in progress. although i'm not really sure if i will actually succeed or not. no game changing moves planned yet.

the bro code

the latest addition:

when your wasted girlfriend wants to give your best friend a rather intimate and long drawn hug and kiss, you hold onto his cigarette (and take a couple of drags so that *it* isn't entirely wasted), and wait for them to finish.

also, wait for one of her friends to pull them apart and shove her in your direction. eventually.

that's definitely a new one... I think.

happy birthday!

I wish I could quote pink floyd's "time".

another trip around the sun.

another world left undone.

a birthday is like jan 1st. a time to take stock, a time to think.

I don't want to take stock or think.

but I do know what I have.

I have people who love me. and I have me.

celebrate in my name. actually, never mind. just celebrate.

god loves you and me.  blessings.

I am a beautiful person.

My phone has this keyboard app installed, that looks at stuff i type and tries to predict the next few letters and words. it was probably trained with some text to begin with, so that users can start off directly. and i've only used it for 4 days now, so it's probably not got enough of my text to learn.

still, i never figured what fun it could be till tonight, when i plugged in my earphones after ages, and happened to be tweeting:

everything sounds better with good earphones. even typing on my phone sounds awesome.


and then discovered the sound the spacebar makes:
the spacebar packs some fuckin punch man! like DIDJHIK!!!


and then discovered what happens when i keep pressing space (it auto accepts the most likely word):
I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. I am a beautiful person. feck, my keyboard is mad.


and subsequently went crazy for about an hour. i would type the first word, and keep pressing space to let the phone complete it:
experiment with the word.

how you doin'!

I used to think i'm a terrible flirt. in fact, I still do. I just get by because the rules have changed.

flirting as a sport is fun. but I find it weird to say things I kinda don't mean and then justify them in its name.

I don't like that thought.

Because sometimes it feels like hypocrisy. and at other times it feels like deceit.

and I don't like either.

It's hard to explain that "i love you" actually means "i like you".

guess I really need to sleep now.

save me from my madness

i touched cotton today because i wanted to unpack and set up my amp and speakers and ipod before i went to the 'room.

i had just transported the system via a rickshaw, a boat, a car, and another rickshaw, from my friend's farewell party at manori beach.

all for an awesome dump with a background score by dj tiesto, and the *doorframe* rattling with the bass.

The friend

All good things must come to an end, they say. This one will just come to a pause, I say.

Because I will miss you.

And you will come back.

Fare you well!
