Random Y0!

   Okay, even as I sit to write this post and get it done with, I am still as clueless regarding what it's going to be about as I was on the 1st of Jan which was the day, atleast according to the plans i had in mind, on which I would start writing as frequently as possible. Now, i'm not a great writer by any stretch of imagination. But i don't let that deter me from enforcing my obnoxious little pieces of Art on the dear friends that are kind enough to read even the most ridiculous  stuff that i write. But if you happen to like any of my random rants, do leave a comment and i may just do a special write-up for you and pray for your mental health at the same time.

   Anywhoo, since 2009 is over, the news channels are totally flipping out. Even as i try to look into my computer, i am unable to contain my attention which keeps roaming away to the "news" being slapped upon me by the channel. Some of the most defining moments of the past year are being telecast on a certain channel which certainly feels the need to remind the viewers of the atrocity which  a certain "Kanye West" ( these hip-hop guys have such weird names, i tell yeh!) committed upon a certain blonde who won some award for some music video, which, btw, the news channel has assumed the authority to declare "well-deserved".

   Random piece of information for you- I am jobless! In case you are wondering, i did have a job. But that was about a month ago. Well, they didn't pay me for my 'skills' and i did work from home and yet, it was fucking awesome for the short while that it lasted. And i just realised that i didn't mention what the job was. I was a 'writer' for a site named 'fifthname.com' And by writer, i mean i was supposed to submit an article every now and then and the article could be anything from a movie/album review to my personal comments on whatever i thought was cool enough to be written about. And i met some of the most awesome people thanks to that 'job'. But, the site was shut down for a whole lot of reasons last month. :(

   Today, i was looking at a beautiful array of fireworks going off in the sky. The whole brightness that it emits and the colour that it spreads and the whole beauty of it, although short-lasting is always pretty awesome to look at. Stuff like that usually cheers me up. But then, i kept looking. The light faded away and in a second something else blurred my vision. The smoke that it had just emitted became visible. And it brought about thoughts of environmental degradation and such depressing like. I would have been so much happier off had i not 'known'. "Ignorance is Bliss" is such a cliche.

   P.S.-   Archie: What sense does that make?

           Chandler: I don't know. It made sense when i started out. But a whole lot of stuff happened in the middle and the sense in it just got lost along the way.

   P.P.S- The name of the blog is courtesy of fifthname. Had they not opted for the fifth name, my blog would just have to be named something else.

   P.P.P.S- I may just include lyrics with my posts sometimes. Do not try to apply too much of thought to understand how the lyrics relate to the post. They just might not.

   More later,
