Bored of all the goings-on in college, at work, on just life in general. Repulsed at even the sight of those books?? Well, looks like you need a change. For me, that change is creativity. Seriously, try it. Sure enough, it'll rid you of the lethargy and rust that has sunk in from the monotony, and enliven you with new found vigour and enthusiasm. A channel, relieving us of all that has crept in from the rote donkey work, that's what creativity does best. All the frustration, the stress and the weariness starts seeping outta ya, and voila!!! your back. The Brain's got the fuel it needed and recompenses us handsomely, suddenly, our hearts are light and our shortcomings, trivial.
What is it, that triggers your muse??? Well, that is for you to ponder. Try something lucid and simple like reading, playing an instrument, writing, painting, poetry, sudoku, to name just a few. So what if you ain't good at it, who cares??!! You're the benefactor here, its you we're talking about. Take my case for instance. I know I'm not good at writing. But hell who cares??!! Suffice to say that it provides me with a channel to vent my frustration, angst & lighten my load in general, which is a must considering the environment i live in (viz. The Jail). Besides, i am more than willing to relieve myself in this manner, rather than in some way which'll cause harm to both others and to me. And, with time, you never know, i might actually improve!!! Sounds good to me. So go ahead, give creativity a shot.
P.S - This article is based on personal experience and there is no guarantee that the techniques suggested will work for everybody. ( I'm not kidding ).

Update
Watched 2 movies the previous week viz. Apocalypto & 300.
300 - Aint a bad movie and is good entertaintment, but is a little toooo fantastic. I mean 300 spartans slaying the combined armed forces of all Asia is very far fetched. And the characters and fight scenes have been amplified beyond belief. Still, good entertainment.
Apocalypto - Watch if you like gore, violence, human sacrifice, live heart extractions and bodies lying in pools of blood. Perfect complement to The Passion Of The Christ. Besides that, its also got a group of natives running after another native, 'coz the captive native killed the clan leader's son, and now father dearest must avenge his son's death. In the process, all of the native clan(6 ppl i think) are killed, while Mr.fugitive survives and saves his family. (That is how the story ends). How it all began?? Well, this native guy's tribe is first ravaged by a clan (same one mentioned above) from another tribe, where he and a few others are captured to be sacrificed 'coz it hasnt rained for weeks, and this myopist tribe believes that human sacrifice will please the Gods and bring rain. But wait, just as native is about to be split wide open, there is an.............................................an Eclipse!!!!! People go beserk, the gods have answered their prayers and they have been salvaged. Duh!!!! Hilarious.
The fugitives are granted reprieve, but what must be done of them?? Well, the clan decides to use 'em as target practice, the fugitive native, seizing the oppurtunity, escapes, and then follows the aforementioned chase.

Forgive me for the poor narration, i just suck at stories and writing in general. But then again, Apocalypto doesn't have much of a script!!!

Iron Maiden - Phenomenal!!!!!
Scream for me Bangalore! ; Scream for me Bangalore!!!!! went Bruce. And scream and holler we so did. And who wouldn't?? Maiden, live, in the flesh, and you, right there, 20m from them, what a fuckin day!!!!!!!
Lights go out, Adrian, Dave, Janick and Steve rush out to the front, Nicko gets on his seat, and out of fuckin nowhere, Bruce, Bruce friggin jumps over the kit to come onstage(6 ft long jump) and completes the lineup. Crowd goes hysterical, what do ya expect?? Maiden, right there, dream come true man!!! Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some of 'em couldn't believe it, hands on their heads, & for the rest of us (like me) unable to control ourselves, we screamed ourselves hoarse. What happened in the next 2 hours is a phenomenon which cant be explained. For words can't do justice to elaborate what happened at the grounds on tht saturday night. A different world we were taken to indeed.
Maiden's ability to connect with us was truly a gift. From dedicating Wrathchild to Leon Ireland to getting the whole crowd to sing Fear Of The Dark it was an experience to be lived in, not something you'll get watching the DVD or by listening to 'em on your player or pod. You had to be there you faggets!!!!! See 'em live and you'll know WTF i'm talkin about. 'coz LIVE is where Maiden is, where Eddie is!!!!
A professional act in every sense, playing and performing. And yes, they pulled out every trick in the bag, nothin toned down or held back, same set, same energy, just like the maiden you've seen on the vids and concerts abroad. These Lads make their songs come alive on stage. Its some surreal Adrenaline Rush Phenomenon!!!! By the time the Tank with Eddie was on-stage the crowd had already gone bonkers (it was after Fear of The Dark you see) And when Eddie actually walked on stage in his matter o life an death military uniform, we were bowled over. Song of The Night - The Trooper, most of it on part of Bruce's crazy antics during this number. Wavin the Union Jack, tappin it on Adrian's head (very amusing), the possessed sprinting, climbin all the way up the railing(47 feet), to swivelling the the foglight over all of us, yeah, that was some performance, the energy the band exudes from this one song will get you scramming, singing, humming, jumping and headbanging all at once. Couple That with Wrathchild, Fear Of The Dark, Number Of The Beast, Run To to The Hills and a few more & you've got yourself 2 Hours of adrenalin pumping riffing and vocals. Eddie did show up, first in his tank (ya, a tank), and later during the encore in his military uniform, shooting at us with his gun. An amazing character and apt mascot for maiden, master eddie. His tank was damn amazing!!!! Had its barrel right on my face. Killer man, killer!!! Wish it had blown me to shreds.
And ya, a thing about maiden shows - you wont even know how sapped you are until after the show, they drained you thorughly. Some surreal Adrenalin Rush Phenomenon (ya, really!!!) those 2 hours were. That night i was a spent force, legs, hands, arms, feet, everywhere, agony. But who cares, certainly worth the strain!!!
Post concert, what a hangover moi was left with. Reality seemed boring and mundane. In a word, the journey back home was simply - shallow. Worries and fears that had crept in, were expulsed and laid to rest on the grounds that night. Never have i been so happy and relaxed. Those bastards'll have to bust their brains (like they have one) to pull me under again. I'm Livin' in a Dream!!!!!
Oh, for those of you wondering about the Set list, it was a mix old classics coupled with songs from their current album ( A Matter Of Life Of Death, you ibanovs!!!). Wish they'd played a few numbers more from their earlier albums. Still worth every fuckin second though. Cant wait for 'em to return. 17 months i think, muuhahahahaha!!!!....Maiden!!!! Maiden!!!! Maiden!!!!!!! Maiden!!!!!!
And for Those of you who didn't get IBANOVS, its an anagram of sorts, minus the S. Just read it back to front and you'll see. Just so you should know, its been borrowed, courtesy a Bong friend o mine, going by the name Of Kaushik, also referred to (though not with good intent) as Jhadoo(Broomstick). And looks like one too ;) No hard feelings with that last line i hope??

Tom Hess :: The Eternal Fire
Yes Elda, it is a copy-paste, but its worth for the ideas suggested in the paras below. Besides tht, i'm too weighed down with assignments, tests and sheets to have the strength and time to post. A lot of people may second that. So until better days are here again, updates are likely to be seldom.
The Arty ::
Think back to the time when your interest in playing guitar was born. Remember the time when you got your first guitar and actually started playing it. For most of us, even when we were totally beginners, clueless about how to play anything, it somehow didn’t matter because we were just so excited about beginning our musical/guitar journey. I can remember the exact day I bought my first guitar (January 31, 1986). I was extremely excited about owning a guitar and banging around on it making all kinds of terrible noises at first.
That feeling most of us felt at the beginning of our guitar days is what I call “Fire” or “Inner Fire”. It is something like the first weeks and months of a new romantic relationship – very new and exciting and the desire to maintain that passion feeling is strong. But over time (weeks, months or years), that passion to play music weakens. Of course you still have at least some interest in playing and becoming a better musician, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this.
What I hope to do here is help you to get back your fire (or if you still have it, I want to help you to never lose it). The most important thing you must do is recognize what the factors were that caused you to feel less motivated and excited about playing music. Over time, some players begin to feel inadequate in their ability to reach their goals. A more common factor for some is not really having clearly defined goals or a good strategy to reach them. Its important to remember long term goals are long term. As long as you work to move forward, you are progressing. If progress is slow, understand this is normal. Of course there are things you can do to dramatically speed this process up such as practice more, practice more efficiently and work with a really good teacher that can show you how to do improve faster.) Other people become too focused on getting better and lose sight of why they started playing (to play and/or create music they love!). Keep reminding yourself of why you wanted to be a musician in the first place. Besides simply thinking about your early playing experiences, go back to your roots and listen to the same CDs (or cassettes or LPs (if you are old enough to have any of those). Listening to my earliest influences always reminds me of my early music days and I just can’t help to feel that eager beginner feeling again.
I’ve mentioned some of these next few points before in a previous article, but it’s worth mentioning again here.
Find out what truly inspires you to want to play music, write music, jam with your friends, etc. Whatever it is for you, go there and marinate in that inspiration. Get your mind in that place and focus on it. Many classical composers (and other serious artists) go to artist colonies for weeks or months at a time. For them being in a beautiful environment with serious artists of all kinds is extremely inspiring and a great place to write music, practice, reflect among other things. Personally, I like to travel to Europe in the summer and do most of my serious composing there. There is a house I stay in overlooking a valley with large trees and beautiful sunsets. It is very inspiring and I always do my best creating there. Your inspiration may be musical (listening to some great players, bands or songs. It may be going to concerts. It may be a set of things that are totally nonmusical (like a special location or being around special people, etc.). You must find whatever it is and go there, you might be surprised at how fast you feel that burning desire to really play more, write more, to be more.
Never ever compare yourself to other musicians! If you sit around and think about how much better of a player you are compared to your friends, this will probably only lead you to contentment and will steal away your drive and fire to improve. If you think about how much your friend (or any other musician) is better musically compared to you, this often leads to feelings of dissolution about your progress and your goals, which also can lead to a lack of motivation and fire.
When you began playing guitar, how good would you have to be in order to be happy with your playing? And where are you now? When I was starting out, I thought if I could play Iron Maiden or Metallica songs, I would be happy for rest of my musical life! Of course the time came when I could play all those songs, but I didn’t feel as happy as I thought I would when I first made my goal. That is because, before I even reached that goal, I had already set new goals. These new goals were good for my progress, but I made the mistake of never really appreciating and enjoying the success of reaching my earlier goals. I robbed myself of the pleasure of feeling happy about my hard work paying off. Of course by now I have learned that lesson and do thoroughly enjoy each new goal that is reached. It is my hope you will learn that lesson now and not after several more years of playing guitar.

Dispatches From Iraq
A Copy-paste from www.thinkprogress.org Just proof of what a faget Bush is...
From McClatchy’s Baghdad bureau ::
“The other kid that i can not forget was in Fallujah, he is laying down suffering bullets injuries and his father, mother and aunt were killed in the car behind him and he can not see them… he refused to let the ambulance take him to the hospital only if I swear to him that his family are alive… he pulled my shirt and said “don’t lie to me”.. I was looking at them all killed in front of me and he is laying down, an American sobbing soldier beside him was treating him till the ambulance arrived, and I had to swear to him that they were alive and he will find them in the hospital if he allowed the ambulance to take him, he and his one year old sister who were covered with here mother’s blood all over her body…” February 23, 2007

Foo Fighters :: The Best Of You
The thing that struck me about this song (besides the empowering lyrics) is the fact that it its comin from a band whose frontman was Nirvana's drummer(Dave Grohl). Now thats quite a contrast when you compare it to somethin like Jesus doesn't want me or the other stuff Cobain used to write about. Guess age & change are things no one can defy, not even Rock stars!!??....Read the lyrics and see for yourself...
Or maybe he's just tryin to tell us that them Rockstars are human too, and that they have their moments in the dark as well. I dunno, you decide!!!..
I've got another confession to make

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone in onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death

I swear i'll never give in
I refuse

A Week To Forget!!!!
Oh what a horrid week it has been!!!! One that has been plagued by
non-productivity and a lack of direction. One where i've collapsed emotionally, and physically as well. Never have i exchanged the word "SORRY" so many times in 7 days. I've sent my friends quarreling, all courtesy of my narcissism and misdirected hate!!!! Complainin and allowin myself to be agitated at the slightest of notions. And i've given 'em gossip mongers somethin to chew on, viz. my blog!!!! Dammit!!!!!!! cant beleive i let that slip.....
But tomorrow, i start afresh. No more, no more!!! Retrace my path again i shall. Will more than make up for the loss. For now, its back to Square 1. Am specially perked bout next week, what with Waters comin to perform an all. Hope it turns out to be so.....both for me and for y'all too....Peace Out...

But tomorrow, i start afresh. No more, no more!!! Retrace my path again i shall. Will more than make up for the loss. For now, its back to Square 1. Am specially perked bout next week, what with Waters comin to perform an all. Hope it turns out to be so.....both for me and for y'all too....Peace Out...
Harshit Coutinho :: Toxic C
H Man. First thing that comes to mind?? - very unique dressing style. Dress code - likely to be in his 3/4ths and sleeveless T's at most times. His lunch is amazin (its always non-veg, yuum!!!!). Is extremely lame is in his Hindi (like i aint, sheesh!!!!!). Abuses - extremely hybrid, from the plain weird to the spontaneous ones that'll get you laughin' to death. Has a passion for cars, bikes & driving. Hopes to be an ace driver someday, an automobile workshop's on the cards as well. Best o' luck mate. Also has dreams has dreams of makin it to MIT (is capable too). Again, abuses - extremely hybrid, they're so WTF?? Jumps to conclusions & wont stop until you acknowledge his point. Had Shirke checkin hi out in t'day's lecture (now thats scary). Shares a violent physical relationship (platonic) with Batman. May hurl abuses, and himself at you for no reason. Gets a hysterical childlike pleasure out of punching & slapping people without reason. Shirke's goin bonkers over the guy right now (i wrote this post in the lecture).
One of the few guy's in college whose company i enjoy, and helps relieve the monotony of college. Could be a lil more generous with his tiffin though. Although , i'd feel the same way, if my food was so good too. My verdict - always be on good terms with the bloke, its worth it for the food!!!! And dude, Shirke couldn't stop starin at Harshit today!!!!!..

Reunion & Stage Fright
So we had our reunion yesterday (2003 batch). Ya, it was fun, meetin up with old friends (not that i had many), and just catchin up on life 4 years after we left school. Made some new friends too, :) :) :) was really kicked about that(you see, i was very shy in school) Yay!!!!!
Hats off to Mohit & gang for the organisation, the arrangements were awesome!!! Anuraag's gettin to be quite a pro at the Turn-table, nice, very nice. Vignesh has an amazin moustache and is in love with The Beatles. Unreal!!! And them posers is still, ya, them posers. Nevertheless, they never failed to put a smile on my face, even in the dullest of moments :-) , hehehe, the sacrifices people make, stupid morons. Guess there is a price for being cool. Glad you guys obliged, thank you very much.
Yours truly here performed and hence the Stage fright in title. But before we move on to that lemme introduce my mates to you. Achintya Rao - Tabla & Harmonica, Presently In Xavier's S.Y.B.Sc. Next up Rolins T. Roy - Keys, rhythm and percussion. Education - 2nd Year Architecture at D.Y.Patil. The brains behind the Bounty Humpers (thats what Achintya & me decided on). Our set list - A medley of Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath & Deep Purple's Smoke on The Water followed by a jive cum blues number, an OC if you'd like. Well, as you'd know it, i got on stage and wham!!! i froze. To think that i'd finally fought off my demons and here they were, tormenting me once more. The traces of poise that i had shown in recent gigs, were gone. The only silver lining being my friends who, inspite of me, convinced me to hang in there, and showed absolute faith in me. Guess what, it worked!!! My fingers found the right notes and by the time we got to Smoke On The Water we were, yaa, smokin!!! The crowd gettin behind us was another plus. But i was still gutted and insisted on leavin out my solo for the blues - jive piece, for it was to be spontaneous and the last thing i was up for was blah blah, ..blah blah blah & then i soloed. Saala, i look like i'm in a mental agony video, just cant seem to, even fuckin smile!!!! You know which song my friggin face is likely to remind you of?? - Iron Man. Boy do i need stage presence...anybody got any tips on that??......and yes, its a lousy solo!!!!!!!......The videos will explain, they'll be up as soon as i know how to post 'em.

Get Over It
Hey, here's a song for all you self-pitying pricks to muse about (me included at times). But this song posting habit of mine has got to stop. So, henceforth moi shall use the medium of songs sparingly.
Back to the topic, self-pity is like a disease affecting the whole world at present (except for a few tough cookies), and i cant stand people feelin sorry for themselves when there are others in far deeper holes than the ones they're in. For the love of God, take your eyes of yourself at times will ya, self-indulgence has a limit!!!!!
This song by the Eagles certainly drives home the point i wish to make, hope those folks get it. And ya, i'm not targetin anyone with these posts, they're just ideas or random thoughts my mind conjures and the blog's a good place to share 'em.
Eagles :: Get Over It
I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin dont blame me
They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time feelin sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your mommas too thin; your daddys too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin and cryin and pitchin a fit
Get over it, get over it
You say you havent been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, old billy was right
Lets kill all the lawyers, kill em tonight
You dont want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesnt owe you a thing
Get over it
Get over it
If you dont want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, get over it
Its like going to confession every time I hear you speak
Youre makin the most of your losin streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak
You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin everybody down
You Bitch about the present and blame it on the past
Id like to find your inner child and kick its little ass
Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin and moanin and pitchin a fit
Get over it, get over it
Get over it
Get over it
Its gotta stop sometime, so why dont you quit
Get over it, get over it

Vishal Mhaske :: The Cool Dude
Noticeable mostly by his short curly hair & total indifference to worry. Dont know what he's doin in a place like Agnels. Anyways here's a short bio on one of the coolest guys you'll ever meet. Just his college routine, nothin else. It Follows below ::
College begins, but aforementioned dude is nowhere to be seen. A couple o weeks later, Mr. realises that his attendance is low and must cover up. Zhaou man, through sheer will-power & some nifty calci-work , figures out how many lectures he gotta attend, grits his teeth, sits through 'em and wouldn't u know it!!? Dude's got an attendance of 75-80%. Killer man, killer. Later, come submissions, and our man has gotten through one, at the most, two subjects in the prelims. However, Zhaou man, steers through all the re-tests, vivas & other shit the profs throw at him & finishes submisions on par with the others (I mean my class by the others).
Oh yeah, another Vishal trait, pre-P.L Veeshall doesn't know a thing about his subjects, but come exam time and he knows 'em inside out, and the bitch gets a first class every Sem (wid the exception of the 1st i think). Only area where his case gets taken is the term work. He loses out on that big time. Would've made the nerds feel like horseshit if he'd got those in hand. Tough luck dude, you should've gone to R.A.I.T , then you'd really kick butt. Besides that, dude's got a karizma, a PSP, a Credit Card & wants to be a doctor. Yeah, he's cool....cheers dude!!!

Writer's Block
Dont know why this is happenin, but i seem to be goin through what they call as a "Writers Block". Just cant get myself to, or dont, have anythin to post. Well, taking a cue from the great Bono who says "Know the truth, and the truth will set you free" , i post a song from U2's October summing up my current mood. Coz its the truth & maybe it'll do the trick. Lets see, only time will tell. BTW a couple of the lines have been re-written to suit my taste.
I try to end this line.
I try to stand up.
But I can't find my feet.
I try, I try to speak up.
But only in you I'm complete.
Gloria, in Te Domine
Gloria, exultate
Oh lord, stir me shake me.
Awaken in me my spirit again.
I try to end this line.
I try to get in, But I can't find the door.
The door is open.
You're standing there, Let me in.
Gloria, Gloria
Oh Lord, if I have anything, anything at all, I'll give it to you.
Gloria, Gloria

How Do They Do it??
Man this is one thing that baffles me everytime i think about it. How could the Indian team blow up their chances of a series win in S.A? After a killer performance in the first test and being in strong positions in both the 2nd & 3rd tests, the team suddenly decides to screw up and throws away the series. And this is not the first time, i remember numerous instances of the team crumblin under pressure. Maybe its not the skill tht they're lackin but it is the attitude that sucks. Look at countries like Australia,S.A and any of the other big countries in cricket or sport for that matter. They've produced countless amazin athletes and players who always come good when needed. Maybe its somethin about the culture and upbringing that they have?? Think we need a change from our stereotypical, regimented and conservative culture. I mean, right from childhood, we are forced to trod down this narrrow and barren path and are supposed to stay on it forever. Taking the road less travelled is strictly for fools!! they say. Dreams and living them are simply reserved for the "chosen" few. How are we supposed to shine with thinking like this?? And the worst of it all, most people go through this zombie walk thinkin its jus normal and thats what they're supposed to do. Cmon man, your not a machine, in fact, u have one, its called the BRAIN and your supposed to use it!!! Maybe that swhat they need to teach us in schools, how to use the brain..... That may be what the Indian team needs to do......friggin morons!!! .................Huh, weird post this is, i start with the Indian Cricket team and end on the brain(???!!!) Maybe its my brain that needs a checkup....or maybe??...........balls, i'm just bored!!!!!!!!!!

Pune Happenin???
Hey, Pune looks like its thee place to be. Malls, pubs, multiplexes, inox's, its got it all. The places to go to are endless. And with tons of college students in the city you'll always have company for anything anytime. The best part about it all is the travel time man, 15-30 mins max. That is jus so awesome. Plus the pace at which things move is a slower compared to bombay, givin ya far more time to breathe.
Maybe i'm sayin this 'coz i live in a shithole like vashi & have no clue about life in places like Bandra, colaba, lokhandwala, andheri etc....those places do rock!!! I'll leave it to you real Mumbaiites to decide between Mumbai and Pune. Maybe i will move to town one of these days and get a taste of life.......Anyways, if you are in Pune go to Burger King, (no its not connected to the Burger King in the US). Its a local restaurant thats been running for a long long time in Pune. After going there you'll simply chuck Mcdonald's coz the stuff there is amazing!!!!

Hazards Of Boredom
Man i am so bored that i nearly got hit while crossing the road today. What happend?? Well, i was crossin the road and was so lost in my thoughts that i checked jus one side of the road while crossing. Quarter-way through my crossing, this mistake was brought to light. By whom?? A Biker dude who was kind enough to honk his horn until i finally woke up. Dunno what would've happend had it been some crazy BEST or NMMT bus driver. Probably be in the Hospital or dead if it were one of those guys, they just dont care. Now that would've made a lotta people happy. Tough luck suckers, i'm still here. Dunno whats gonna happen next though. If any one of you folks do have an idea plz leave 'em as comments. Thank you.

Green Day :: Longview
Here's a song i can relate to a lot during my P.L and durin exam time.......Anyone else feel the same way????....
Sit around and watch the tube but, nothing's on
Change the channels for an hour or two
Widdle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND!!!
And I smell like shit
Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a DOG IN HEAT
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to MY OWN CELL
And I lost the key
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind!!!
And I smell like shit
I GOT NO MOTIVATION
WHERE IS MY MOTIVATION
NO TIME FOR MOTIVATION
SMOKING MY INSPIRATION
Sit around and watch the phone but no one's calling
Call me pathetic call me WHAT YOU WILL
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one SHE's got
When masturbation's lost its fun
You're fucking breaking
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn BORED I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bit my lip and close my eyes
Slipping away to paradise
Some say, "Quit or I'll go BLIND"
But it's just a myth
Sit around and watch the tube but, nothing's on
Change the channels for an hour or two
Widdle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND!!!
And I smell like shit
Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a DOG IN HEAT
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to MY OWN CELL
And I lost the key
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind!!!
And I smell like shit
I GOT NO MOTIVATION
WHERE IS MY MOTIVATION
NO TIME FOR MOTIVATION
SMOKING MY INSPIRATION
Sit around and watch the phone but no one's calling
Call me pathetic call me WHAT YOU WILL
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one SHE's got

Eldrich Rebello :: About A Fish
Well, we've all seen him college, with his geeky glasses and egg-shaped head. He talks and writes a lot about peers (Batman in particular) but little is known bout him. Some think he's gay, some say martian,some think he's plain weird, few folks also think he's a nice chap (?????!!!!!!!!!). Well a couple o' days back he gave me a deep and interesting insight about himself. Apparently, our man Elda, thinks only about four things:
1) To make bombs of varying intensities and then jus watch em explode. Apparently the noise,smoke & lights exalt him to the nth degree.
2)To Catch fish and slay em.
3)To see Penguins dance.
4)He also has a lot of interest in sound and music and wishes to create stimulating music for the penguins to enhance their moves.
These four goals are all related to each other and he has carefully carved out a plan to accomplish these in perfect sequence. So here goes:
Elda, wid his expertise in bomb making shall create bombs tht emit extremely high frequency ultrasonic waves. These shall be placed along the circumference of a pond full of fish. Now, when bombs explode, fishys come to centre of river where Elda lies in wait. With tht fishing net he borrowed from Batman Elda catch fish. But on account of batman going broke every couple of days, the net he gives Elda is a cheap and 3rd rate one. Consequently more than half the fish escape and Elda manages to catch only 10-15. Now, Elda, with Batman's Swiss knife (its actually a second-hand made in Saki-naka) slays the fish and has fulfilled his second wish. Following this,Eldrich slogs his butt off, gets into Berklee, masters the concepts of sound and music and after two yrs of hardwork comes up with his very own f-tunes (designed specifically to enhance penguin dancing moves). Then, with the money he made thru his stinkin blog, he just about manages to buy a lousy discman and hitches a ride to the Antarctic. There, braving the cold he ventures deep into the iceland and finally, has captured a dozen penguins. Then, the final phase begins. For Elda, its all or nothin now. Coz its on this icy wasteland that his very purpose for existence is to be decided. Will he die another unknown ? or is he to be immortalised forever? As his trembling hand puts the CD in the player, his whole life flashes in front of him. From the time the first and last strand of hair grew on his head to the day when he joined agnels to when he screwed himself, everything just zips past him like a fast-forwarded trailer. For a second he feels like he's a in a cheap Bollywood rip-off. But then, the cold Antarctic chill brings him back to reality. He places the phones on the 1st penguin, nothing. 2nd one, again nothing. 3rd - nothing. 4th,5th,6th,7th,8th,9th,10th, nothing, nothing, NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No.11wobbles ahead. As the music starts playing, the penguin takes one step, then another one. Its working!!!!!!! Eldrich cant believe it.............But wait, Mr. Penguin suddenly .........(CANT GO BEYOND THIS POINT, SO PLZ GIMME ENDINGS, PLZ LEAVE EM AS COMMENTS, AND DONT REMAIN ANONYMOUS!!! BTW THIS STORY IS NON-FICTION)
