About time I got to writing something here, this page is like a year and a half old now!! The net speed is something like the run rate of Holland in Test match cricket, so no use attempting to download the latest games off my Steam account. Thought I'd rather fill this page up with something.
Been living the life of the average joe for the most part of this year - Work for 10 hours on weekdays, hope to have a good time with friends and family over the weekend etc., etc.,. I guess the monotoneity of this routine gets to a person pretty soon. The idea of trying out something different is like a splinter in my brain, driving me mad.(Thanks for the simile, Morpheus).
The gym seemed like a great place to vent out all the frustration, but there is only so much that the human body can take. Instructors thought I went mad when I told them I wanted to try out the 300 workout for a change! Sensing that I won't be helped in that regard, I thought it'd be best to ask them for some high intensity advice.
For the times when me ain't around a pullup bar or a bench with weights, PC games seem to be the best bet. Again, my 3 year old laptop doesn't have enough juice for the games of today. Books are a person's best friend at such times. Considering my habit of finishing whatever I start reading, I need to devote atleast 4-5 hours for that purpose. Instead, I end up sleeping coz most of the reading material that I get my hands on is the tried and tested stuff. Books are no longer how they used to be. Sometimes I feel its better off reading technical books on distributed computing, AI and game programming coz they make so much more sense than anything else.
Hanging out with friends is possible only when the times when we are free coincide. Even that seems like a distant dream. The occassional visit of a friend from out of town is a reason for excitement, atleast that way people do take out time to meet up. Otherwise, there are friends who live pretty close by, but its been ages since we've met, thanks to conflicting schedules. Frequent meet ups also can get monotonous, so its looked at as something to be done once in a while, so the time spent is well worth it.
Coming to music and movies, the good stuff gets dished out once in a friggin blue moon. Its hard for one to listen to the likes of Lamb of God, Tool and Dark Tranquility, and expect everyone else to be as good. Plus, Chris Nolan, Guy Ritchie and Tarantino types need some time off to work on their ideas. To settle for the ordinary when you have seen/heard the best is really not possible, so boredom kicks in easy.
As of now, I'm cursing the technicians for not fixing my bandwidth problem, otherwise I would have been killing terrorists in a game of Counter Strike right now. Instead I am here, doing something I never thought I would take time out for. Now that I am bored of this too, I'm think I'm gonna watch Himesh Reshammiya make a fool of himself by trying to act and laugh my ass off over it.
Later! (it could be sooner, if I get bored of laughing at stupidity).
