Beer ain't alcohol..

[Thats what i found out soon after i came to college, one of the major discoveries in a progressive cosmopolitan campus notwithstanding, it also gave me perspective on why it was hard to find water in the average redneck kitchen.

" "C'mon dude lets grab a couple of beers" is probably one of the most frequently used phrases everyday around the world. The funny thing is its never a couple, its just one of those false promises that you use everyday- " im gonna brush my teeth before i sleep", just something u say to get the moment over with. Nyways the thing is, even after a ridiculously large amount of the stuff has settled comfortably in you, & you are only short by a week's worth of food money( beer's same price as alcohol over here) it doesn't do anything to you. There's got to be a point over drinking right? i mean when you are growing up you see people around you drinking the stuff all the time and naturally you get curious and they are all like " you cant drink beer!! you are too young!!" and then theres the t-shirts....

" fuck fear- drink beer!!" .... " save water- drink beer"

proudly portraying the wonder drink to be something that you had to experience for yourself.
All this just gets your hopes up man... what im getting at here is that i am not a beer lover...i do not find a reason to buy and drink the stuff...but then again i do not find reason in a lot of things ...
like the jay leno show...or britney spears or cheezy poofs...

i swear im not high..

Die hard still rules!!

Its true....there's absolutely no two ways about it. when ever you sit down to watch die hard again ( trust me you will if you have gone through it once) there will be a few times through the movie that you have to shout out DIE HARD!! and anyone who's present and does not shout with u is frowned upon and preferably banned from ever watching die hard again. This is not one of those star wars geek rules that 9pt'er nerds make up while debating which was the greatest galactic war of all time sitting in their basement as they eat their moms special recipe crunchies.

This is what men do when they are bored and there's leftover pizza and beer. You call your buddies, play a round of mini golf ( do not question why) and watch a good action movie- namely die hard.

Its just one of those things that brings hard working men their moments of clarity looking at intensive violence. peaceful annihilation.

Carpentry is good for you!

Schools have this thing about teaching more than what they promise on their publicity manuals or whatever it is that they call it, like they are trying to do you a favour by giving your ward more than you expected. I mean do you really care if you learn stuff like knitting, bookkeeping, carpentry or some other bullcrap?

Anyway i had the good fortune to sign up for carpentry( not intentionally- my name was drafted in there as i had not signed up for anything by myself) Soon it was clear that it was by far the coolest thing we had ever gotten to do, i mean having all kinds of sharp metal weapons which can cut a limb effortlessly is pretty cool anytime of the year.

i can honestly say that i not a good carpenter, cause one needs to actually build something to be one, however if you need someone to tear apart something made out of wood, then im ur man. After the countless times that we cut apart the teachers chair( while he was still on it) , class desks, windows etc every guy in that class was in a class of his own.

So maybe the class was not actually for teaching, maybe it was designed to keep those boys happy who would raise all kinds of hell otherwise. kind of like a venting the anger kind of thing. Though it wasnt a clear success- we did raise hell even then, eventually making the teacher retire& winding up to be the only batch ever to not get a farewell in the school's history. But still the school's efforts and the thought process must be appreciated- they do try so very hard. I mean its the same everywhere isnt it ? Talk about your govt cover ups- these things are right in your face. you dont need to think aliens everytime man, the establishment has other ways to numb you down. Anyway GETTING A LITTLE TOO PARANOID.....

One of the main parameters of your school life has to be the number of teachers you caused to give up their jobs just because they couldn't take the punishment anymore. in my case it was 3, and is still one of the most satisfying memories that i have so- up yours public education!

the new years drink

This one is simple enough...everyone knows the new years kiss is one of the most overrated things ever....you plan, you wait, you screw other people to make it foolproof but at the end of the day when the countdown is over and people all around you are glued to each other you are left with your best buddy Mr jack daniels..... The weird thing is when you know ahead that the kiss isn't gonna happen & give all your time to the bottle in your hand it doesn't feel as good as it does after being left alone suddenly on the most happening night of the year. I guess we are all gluttons for punishment. You can get drunk alone every night so the charm kind of burns out eventually. Especially if you have 3 more guys just like you and you wind up drinking on the streets. Its kind of sad that your new year ends that way....or rather starts...huh...but you get used to it....

The window seat

After actually creating the blog page which i thought of doing 6 months back, im finally putting in the first post. No big deal, just the average time that a normal hard working man needs to take time out from his busy schedule to do stuff like this...so i thought i would start with something really important...& socially relevant

Whats the deal with window seats in buses anyway? i mean its like a part of the transition that goes through you as your growing up when your supposed to suddenly not like video games any more.....when you are a kid your parents will automatically give you the window seat no questions asked...but when you don't pee in your pants anymore they will take back that which was given to you, and that too with out warning. Its like one day its all fine and then suddenly its not there anymore.

So whether its your mom, ur girlfriend, or your wife, the window seat is gone when you would actually enjoy it. i mean as a kid you do not really notice anything do you? its just flashing lights and a hell lotta sounds and wind in your face which makes you cry.

Is this all part of some elaborate plan that women think of naturally or they are taught along with hundreds of similar things remains unclear but the time is not far off when men will strike back to take what is rightfully theirs.
