Raise A Glass

We live in a world of presumtions and veils. A world where you only get to know something of a person that he wants you to know. All your so-called act of knowing somebody is all bullshit. Even the characteristics of somebody that they dont want u to know and u do end up finding is just some very complicated unintentional mindfuck.
You only know a person a few seconds before his/her death.

Im not dead yet so might as well get on with this.
First of all, the new Zodiac shit, I never believed your older brother, I dont believe you, but Im still a Libran. Fuck You.


If you did wonder why there have been no posts about the exams well they just got over. I am too lazy and bored to rebel against something I cant change. I have become a commoner. Write the bloody exam, get home and sleep. Or maybe its because I've written them for 12 years and the system has achieved what it wanted to.



I am getting back to reading. Im reading my old favourites and downloading new ones as pdf's and reading them (Yes, Im that cheap).
To writers who make me smile, to poems that make me smile, and lines that make me think, I raise my glass.
My Terabyte HDD is constantly spinning with data now thanks to a steady inflow of epic proportions of data.
I now possess
10 Seasons of Friends.
6 Seasons of How I Met Your Mother
2 Seasons of Modern Family
2 Seasons of White Collar
7 Seasons of Entourage
7 Seasons of Two and a Half Men
12 Seasons of The Simpsons
2 Seasons of Castle
14 Seasons of Top Gear



And Im very proud and happy about that.


Oh and also movies.
My list of movies is too long to reproduce so lets just say that the average size of a movie is 800 MB and I possess a little over 500 GB. You do the math honey.
I cant resist so I'll tell you that it is a little over 500 movies. Pride is an understatement.



To the people who made such a massive collection possible.
To Big Man, Sunny, Max, Aleron, Utk, I raise my glass to you.



In other news, I remember last year around this time during farewell when all the 12thies who got awards. I felt sad and unsure if I'd even get nominated for any of them.
I did. Second last name in the list for Mr. Humourous. I got what I asked for without me pressurizing for it. To the person who had the idea to put my name in there, I raise my glass to you.



And to you, if you've bin a reader, I raise my glass to you.

And now with an empty glass, I sign off.
Cheers,
V

God bless Notepad. Without which my life wouldn't be the same.
Morning folks.
Raise your hand ( or leave a comment) if you dont like New Year wish texts/emails.
I mean I appreciate your concern and your seemingly genuine wish for me to have a prosperous new year and success in all my "endeavours" but sue me if I dont give a shit. Endeavours, really? Im 17 mate. Biggest challenge in my life is an overrated exam and an unsatisfied crowd.
But if there ever comes a new year where I dont get all these texts then, I confess, I will be disappointed. Half the story of my life folks, disagreeing with thse existence of something and heartbroken by the inexistence of it. Ok, maybe heartbroken is too strong a word. But then again, what word aint strong enough when used correctly, eh? The other half being the side of the coin that faces the table. Question is, wait, there is no question.


Once again I confess, I may not be in my senses. Just a weeeeeee bit in another time and place maybe. Floating on imaginary waters and flying through imaginary clouds. But these clouds seem to be playing Floyd, Guetta and Incubus. Yes. Awesome indeed. Maybe you've bin there too, O Wise One?



I was to be at a party today but it dint really feel like my thing. New years among others has always been a fail fr me. Big plans, nothing turnout. Small plans and too many turnout. So here I am after a good dinner, in my room, staring at the dark skies with my entrance to the alternate reality. Yes, the Floyd and Guetta one mentioned above. I enjoy peace and quiet when Im floating and hence the title.

But all that shit apart, Tis the season to be jolly, Falalalala la la lala.

I think for once in a change, I know why I wrote this. This will remind for days to come that good nights are not that hard to find. That new year will come only once in a year (yes, i needed to be reminded of that).


I was tuned into Oman 90.4 Radio for the New Year's countdown. Some really funny people who call. Lalu, this is aimed at you. Next time, if you cant hear what hes saying , dont bother calling, yeah?
That dude started talking about his family when asked of his 2010 resolutions. Go figure.


But whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes, yeah.
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there, I'll be there.


And maintenant to those who care,
Have a good year.
Also Drive Safe.

-
V
