Davy Jones, giant squid

So recently I came across a post on HUKD talking about archive.org which had tons of old retro games on it. To avoid forgetting the link, I sent it to a few colleagues (hey thats the lazy person's way of saving stuff). And then ofcourse when I finally found some time (read : was procrastinating) I decided I would have a look at said website. Instead of going to the games archive (I must message someone about that on Whatsapp to serve as both a reminder and a saved URL.. who needs bookmarks) the eye catching banner I was hit by was "archive of over 347 billion web pages" (or something along those lines). So I clicked on to it and it immediately hit me (I'm not hurt, thanks for your concern) wondering if my blog that I started 16-17 years ago would be on it. Lo and behold (or dont behold, it's not a dictatorship), the blog was there in its format as it was when I first started, background and all the way it was. Read a few posts, man I was way funnier back then, dont know what happened along the way... oh wait, I know... life happened and I lost all my hair (well not all but its practically no reason to keep what I have left you see...) besides, I have a beard now, or as I like to say, my hair has migrated south.

So yeah for purely no other reason other than the fact that I dont want to do anything productive, I am writing/typing this post... although that seems counter-productive to not being productive (errrr... I think). So this is the umpteenth time (is that even a number) that I am telling myself I will try to update the blog a bit more. I have just given it a jazzy snazzy new theme (i.e. selected one from the various available... makes me feel all techy inside) and am ready to hopefully come up with a few more ideas for blogs....

Straw poll for you guys :  if I blog like I did when I was in my early 20s... Will it make me feel like I am in my early 20s? Answers on a postcard (if you have my address, I am worried) or on £50 notes (prefer the later although a card with £50 inside will not be unwelcome).

Till the next time I can be bothered :)

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...
