Keep it simple, stupid

I am feeling guilty today. I am in that rare physical condition which makes me too sick to go to work but quite ok to blog. A bloggers Phuket island, I have heard. And yet I am a bit guilty. It might have something to do with the work i was supposed to submit today, or it might have something to do with the vodka shots I emptied yesterday. (If someone from work is reading this, i am using my creative imagination and i am not liable for anything that i post here.)

So i watched Spiderman 3 last weekend. All throughout the movie, i was trying to figure out how many times the word "choice" was used. I lost count finally, but not out of choice. The clincher was when i watched Chamber of Secrets later that night and Dumbledore said-" It is not our abilities that show what we truly are... it is our choices." to which i said zzzz.

But it did start me thinking though, the choices we make, the choices others make, how it affects our life and and how it affects others. Looking back, I feel like an entire series of Lost could find a much needed inspiration from it. I think that is what a bloggers block does to bloggers, it gives them too much time to think about their lives.

Sigh, so my secret is out. I am here experiencing my first bloggers block, a bblock if you will.

So here are some of the choices I have made, and some of the choices that have been made on my account.

# Going to Kuwait, much fun as though it was, made me lose a lot of things. I used to be an athlete before i went( a fact i have kept well hidden ) and i will do anything to become one again...as long as i dont have to give up on drinking and smoking.

# Doing engineering....wtf was i thinking? Well, i wasn't. But atleast i joined a totally rocking college.

# Not resigning (yet) even though i have been posted in the last place i really want to be right now.

# Not listening to music, now dont be shocked, i know there are a lot of others like me who just know the lyrics of the latest Himesh Reshamiyya song and that too because that is the only thing they show on tv nowadays. I could always decide to be cool and store 10 gb of music on my system, but that would be such a waste.

# supporting Manchester United, the choice i am most proud of, something which does not give you all the right to judge me.

Ok i am tired of this choice listing game, which happens to be the story of my life. If you are going through a bblock, join in.

Anyway i happen to have a few things to look forward to this weekend.
Phoenix is coming to town, and i am taking it as my duty to make sure he throws up. I have always wanted to quit work on monday mornings, maybe this time i wont have to.
