Its the 4th time that i have started a blog post with 'its been ages'... so hear goes... its been ages!
I havent been doing this regularly and thats something to worry about cause i normally pride myself in how much i persevere with useless things. Like beating a game in record time or writing the longest program in history and so on.
I am of course feeling very very depressed these days and its all the fault of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May... the blokes from Top Gear. They introduced me to the love of my life and now... i feel empty.
The Bugatti Veyron. A car, an absolutely amazing machine. 0-100 Kmph in 2.5 seconds. Yes 2.5. Its like being in an F1 car. :)
Its not the most beautiful car on the planet, but it is very very fast and very desirable... and its been built by the same guys who make the golf. VW isnt a super car brand name... or so i thought.
I am a little more impressed by the humor in top gear...
"And tonight we have been told to feature more greener cars, so we are going to show you the greenest car every (points at a green lamborgini)"
or..
"we have had numerous complaints about not showing affordable cars on the show, so we'll kick off tonight with the cheapest Ferrari ever!"
Ah well... i want to one maybe 2 of these cars. So i need to make a lot of money. I'm 22 now; to be able to enjoy these fast cars... i need to get one by 30. So i need to make a lot of money really fast.
Thats all the motivation i need to become a carjacker... or a bank robber or any such thing. But I on the other hand have chosen not to stary away from the path that i have been on so long... the one where you dont kill you boss just because he's nasty... the one where you dont break the law for any freaking reason you can find...
And so... i am going to use the one talent (up for debate) i have and convert that into Porche's and Lamborgini's... and maybe a Bugatti along the way.
I am going to switch careers and become a writer.

Hallows was too Hollow.
The Deathly Hallows was Hollow... it was too much hype and sadly Rowling failed to captivate me. Sure i ran upto Landmark(uh... exaggeration; rode to it) and spent hours waiting for the shop to open (uh... exaggeration again... waited just 30 mins) and all for a 600+ page book that took like 8 hrs to finish (exaggeration... took abt 14 hrs... had fallen asleep in the middle)
Was it worht it though???
NAH!!!
Spoilers ahead... so dont read if u dont want to;
One: Harry is a Horcrux... Wow... what a surprise... yawn.
Two: Snape loves Lily... Wow... what a surprise... bigger yawn
Three: Elder Wand rubbish... Nonsense considering there was no logic behind Draco winning the Elder Wand from Dumbledore... and Harry getting it from Draco... so like... if a wizard snatches a wand from another wizards... viola... the loyalty of the Wand is decided... Thats like the BIG BULLY rule of Wand hadling... thingy rubbish watse of perfectly usable toilet paper.
Four: What was the whole affair at the Ministry for? A waste of time... Exactly.
Five: Battles (duels) by wands have never been Rowling's strong point... but she had out done herself in Hallows...
Fred Died? What the hell did he doe of? And Lupin? What the hell? Half the deaths were unnecessary... Colin Creevy... Excuse me while i Puke...
ah... much better.
So where was i?Yes;
Six: Mrs. Weasely kills Bellatrix... that was even more rubbish. It was a gigantic waste. Simply to save Weasely's grace maybe... she was too much of a caring mummy for the msot of the book that never exlained why she was on the OOTP
Aberforth was a waste as well btw.
Seven: Dobby's death was actually the most tragic in the book. The only time i felt sorry for a dying character... most were wasted... this guy... well...
But Kreacher... that was a complete waste!!!
Wasnt it always clear that RAB took Kreacher on the boat? And the bit i had never liked... a horcrux... in the Black Family House... displayed on a shelf???
I mean WTF?
In Potter 5; the locket was found in house cleaning... not in some secret spot. So Kreacher; since he couldnt destroy the locket... put the locket on display in the house? Where did Mrs. Rowling's brains go for vacation i'd like to know!!
Eight: Potter Lived...
Right that wasnt half as bad as making him 17+19 years old and having a son named Albus Severus. I would choke myself to death had my name been something like that.
Nine: Severus Snape was so in love with Lily that he wanted to see her eyes in his dying moments. He was... always trying to protect harry... he was such a good guy... too good. It was a bit too much in the end. Especially the bit where we come to see that he has the same Patronous as Lily Potters. If soemthing was supposed to kill the story... this one buried it and sang a hymm to match.
Ten: 600 pages?
Miss Rowling... your story could have been done in 300.
Thanks dear reader....
Feel free to agree with me.
If you want to disagree...
Go Cry somewhere else.. Cause i am re-writing this book... and in my version... Harry will die.

The War of the Consoles
So its like this:
The Xbox 360 Vs the Playstation 3
Yes; the 360 is cheaper; but the PS3 has Blue Ray.
Yes; the 360 has Gears of War; but PS3 has F1 (it always has F1)
PS3 is simply great to look at and for the price; lets face it; its well worth it. Is going for the 360 wiser? (Cost wise maybe... Halo wise... maybe!!! but PS3 has a extra thing going for it. Its a Play Station!!)
PS2 was the most widely sold cosole in the world. The graphics processor of the PS3 does some pretty cool things(mostly for optimizing performance)
Is the 360 really better in that department? Maybe Not.
What am i getting this December?
The Playstation 3!

Its all about them Consoles
It gives me great pleasure to annouce that i am back. I was lost/preumsed having a very good time (which as a matter of fact i was not) for the last two months. On May 15th, i travelled to Melbourne for 2 months. Notice i said Melbourne and not Australia. The reason being it was a business trip and strictly business was conducted. No fooling around and sight seeing only when i had the time, which was almost never.
Lets not get carried away though, while it was an exhousing 2 months, i had fun as well. I learnt more about what i was doing. Earned respect and well... hate to say it... actually became quite nerdy!
Made some nice friends as well... and not all of them were pretty 23-25 year old females.
Some were very old men who reminded me... (uh) of my future self. ( Wow... i would love to see that happening... seeing as the guy earned a thousand dollars a day )
Melbounre is a small city. Its nice. The number of Asians will initially surprise most. But Melbounre isnt really fun. Its not like Singapore (which i spent a whole 17 hrs at) and it has never held the charm that New York holds for me (sure that charm will be washed out of New York by the first guy who mugs me; and in this regard Melbounre was really safe)
However; all said and done. Hard work seems to be infectious. I got the kick out of working and well hate to say it... even enjoyed it. To the Limit.
And i might be going back. (Almost certain... but dont count your hens/chicks/thingy before they hatch.

Virginia Woolf
Dear Leonard.
To look life in the face... Always to look life in the face and to know it for what it is, At last to know it...
To love it for what it is, and then, to put it away.
Leonard. Always the years between us. Always the years. Always the love.
Always the hours.

Start of a New day...
Vrooooooooooom!
well... not exactly. Thats not how my day begins...
tee-tee-tee-teet
tee-tee-tee-teet
tee-tee-tee-teet
'Aw shucks!'
Bang!
tee-
And a comfortable night comes to an end. Well... the comfortable part is a bit imaginary and the alarm clock wasnt blown to bits ot anything. But the important thing here is the sequence of events. This actually is a bit surprising since i nevertheless manage to arrive on time day after day!!!
It must be that i step into the eddies in the space time or something. And eddy doesnt like that much (:p) Log Live Douglas Adams!!!
Oh and Pratchett. The God.
Well... i have had a few new developments.
I got certified in Cognos ReportNet 1.1 Product User and got the certificate today.
That is good. I actually gave the exam thrice to pass it. (;p)
it was hard. it was a bit wierd experience watchign my brain the size of a plant (another Adams reference) to succumb to the harsh realities that this product was simply dumb.
Well... anyway. I got through and now i am concentrating on a Teradata Certification.
Job is a mess. Well... it will be once it really begins. Currently its low level design of cryptic procedures that do unknown things in the database.
Yadda yadda yadda... blah blah blah
I got myself a new sister. Ya... brand new folks!
Everyone i meet tends to make me her bro...
so one more umm... well... lets now go into that...
and i read three major practchett works..
Feet of Clay
Nigth Watch
Monstrous Regiment
cooooool
with that...
its a A-ok captain
Sails A-hoy!
Hup hup hup
BYE!!!!!!!!!!!

A new poem
A smile on my lips
A secret to conceal
My hair is all wrung up
The knowledge is too real
A smile on my lips
A secret to conceal
My hands all sweaty
ooh the chill that i feel
A smile on my lips
A secret to conceal
My thoughts all confused
It seems so surreal
A smile on my lips
A secret to conceal
My friends aske me
Hey there, what's the deal
A smile on my lips
A secret to conceal
Tell me where to look
I need find my heart and heal
A smile on my lips
A secret to conceal
You guessed the secret my dear
But its whom i love that i wont reveal
A secret to conceal
My hair is all wrung up
The knowledge is too real
A smile on my lips
A secret to conceal
My hands all sweaty
ooh the chill that i feel
A smile on my lips
A secret to conceal
My thoughts all confused
It seems so surreal
A smile on my lips
A secret to conceal
My friends aske me
Hey there, what's the deal
A smile on my lips
A secret to conceal
Tell me where to look
I need find my heart and heal
A smile on my lips
A secret to conceal
You guessed the secret my dear
But its whom i love that i wont reveal

Missing Music
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon...
My madness abt Pink Foyd has run over the last couple of years... Initially it was 'We dont need no education' while later it got more numb and later still i came back to life... it has been a great journey of sorts... where floyd made me realise just what i was missing by not drinking...
See... their music is best heard when you are drunk, some paranoid fans say that... for me... well... a clear mind perhaps made differentiate between some of the guitar chords... :P
The reason i talk of floyd now is that i miss it more than ever. Am in office see... work work work. Fine mayeb not as drastic as that. No real work sone and far lesser planned... but the bottom line is that i have been cut off from music for more than 2 MONTHS!!!
Even to an idiot... to a paranoid heartless fool... even to him this amout of time is a wee bit too much...
Oh sure... i hum a load of
'Saying i love you... is not the things i want to hear from you...
Its not that i want to...
not to say but if you only knew...
How easy... it would be to show me... how you feel??
More than words...'
That was by Extreme by the way... nto floyd...
Neways...while i might sing that over and over again... sometimes you just need to listen to the tracks!!!
Another one in my head right now is...
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again!!!
Oh awesome song... the guitar riffs are still in my mind when i start going down the free bird road...
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
cause theres too many places Ive got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.
yikes!!! look at the time!!!
Have been typing all this and the time is there to rush...
So ta-ta my loced ones... and those that i hate... (smug smile) cant live withput me can you???
Se ya all...
And untill next time...
Free... as a bird...
Is the next best thing to be..
Free as a bird...
