It's out there! (and i'm even further out!)

Ok I have officially lost it... There is a huge conspiracy going on against us former smokers who are trying hard to kick the habit (has anyone noticed i'm the only one who keeps thinking there are conspiracies going on all over the place???). Now this is absolutely true.. yesterday night after dinner I decided i'd go over to my friend's place so we can go for a walk or something. I get outta the house and immediately there's this like rush of cigarette smell that smacks me in the face... I'm like o maybe someone's been smoking here or something... no biggie.. I'm walking along.. and it's like the smells stayin' with me.. I'm like 'hmmmm... maybe the good ol' nose is in bloodhound mode pickin' up ciggy smoke whereever it can'... but about a min later i'm thinkin this aint me nose thats pickin' up the whiff.. it's all over the place.. so juss to make sure i ask a guy on the street and (weird as it may sound) ask him.. 'dude do u smell something weird?'. And the guy goes it sorta like cigarette smell man.. I'm like gawd it aint juss me, it's really hapenning.. (or maybe he juss gave up smokin' too and he's going paranoid like moi. But belive me people.. I kid you not... the smell was actually there.. and before anyone asks... yes i did pinch myself.. I was wide awake! :s

Shoot to thrill So I just finished watching Inception (yes I know I am only a year or so behind the times). I took the plunge today with a full understanding (or so I thought) of the concept of the movie and what to expect. Oh Em Geeee... was I in for a shock and such an excellent one at that. A brilliantly executed idea and thankfully, for once, an original one. I have to say I cant remember the last time I watched a movie which wasnt a sequel, prequel, reboot or connected to some other movie idea/concept in some way, shape, form or aspect. Yes it can be argued it goes into the augmented reality side of things which has been used many times before but this is a very refreshing take on the genre. I like how the movie asked or answered questions that were popping into my head as I watched the movie (yes even though I do prefer the no brainer movies, but I do like to keep an inquisitive mind). One thing I couldnt believe is how the guy out of Third Rock from the sun actually pulled off a...

Friends As much as the title may sound like it relates to the TV series of the same name, this post has nothing to do with the over-the-hill-trying-to-be-funny-while-making-twats-of-themselves sitcom. Its about friends, the real ones. Now, I have to be honest here (not that I'm usually not honest) but I've been a bit of a skeptic of the friends-for-life cliche. Admittedly there are cases where it has happenned but its not as common as people might think it. I have a handful of friends who I know have made an impact on my life but dont think I'll always be in contact with. Nothing new there, its all part of life. Even though most people who know me refuse to believe tihs, but I'm a huge skeptic (Ok you're all probably wondering why I'm babbling on like this, so we'll randomly skip to the next paragraph and I'll tell you). 2 days ago I was talking to a friend who I shared a house with at one point in Cyprus. Quite a few of my friends in Cyprus ...

Paint it black Self pity in the world of make believe (or TV to you and me) is such an awesome tool for one to attain one's goals. There is always a character who is in the depths of despair and yet one simple act (usually by the antagonist in most cases) turns out to be the pivotal point where said character shrugs off the shackles of the self imposed desolation to go on and achieve the impossible (in the case of Indian movies, often defying the laws of physics on the way to overcoming said impossibility). Side note, I am only saying that based on the stereotypical views I have of Indian movies. In the real world however, self imposed despondency is much tougher to shake off. And in the case of an evergreen pessimist such as yours truly, it really does become a struggle (I just realised I started the last sentence with an And... tsk tsk... the shame!). There really is no simple solution, compounded more so by a feeling of loneliness that arises when one's immediate family is i...
