Convo Night!

slackerninja — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 19:53:00 +0000

When you start contemplating you don’t stop. So much so that you wonder, double, triple and quadruple check everything you do. Even every small action, every detail comes under scrutiny as if there’s a flaw in the woodwork, just waiting to be found. You know its reached pathetic proportions when you wonder if you should continue blogging or just leave it hanging at the penultimate juncture of your nondescript college life and as you….

*pulls the plug on the philosophical bull shit, enough rabble, drivel and nonsense, let this post finally BEGIN!*

Ahem, so where was i…

Ah, yes let’s begin with a song shall we?

Sung to the tune of Kashmir by Led Zeplin (should be better than Diddy’s bastardization of the song) or Dontcha by the Pussycat Dolls (if you have positively no idea of Led Zep or Kashmir, you fail at life, hence tune it to a shitty mainstream track.

The Convo Night by h3lios:

Saturday’s convocation was an epic mess
Shivy taking potshots at magazines, he had slides!
We ended up sending each other many an sms
Most of which were about how it “rocked our undersides”

Chorus: Ooooh, this is the last day of it all
Sign up with the Alumni, 50% off if you want more
Stop thinking of the after party and who’s doing who^^ in the stalls
Listen on how to mudsling media without blood and gore

Somehow it ended, and we escaped from a fate worse than 4 DM lecs in a row
Alive, just barely, a beer mug or ten for our troubles
To make everything better, because now it all blows
Like soldiers we strafed through the rabble

Onwards to the Paradise of Sports Bar!

Chorus x 2

We drank till our sides were sore
Laughed with, at and right through friends old and new
Discussing who’s where and much more
Dedicating songs to dear friends we knew*

Chorus x 2

And before we knew it, it was all over, filled with misery
Just like that, no not the mag
College gone, another page in our Dear Diaries**
Now begins days that just drag***

Chorus x 2

But we were left with one amazing souvenir
Our “friends” forgot to pay their bills^
Jacked were we, right in the rear
A few phone calls later, a last drunken walk home and everything was still.
Like it was before.

* Raddy, if you’re reading this, Champagne Supernova is amazing. Thanks.

** Or in this case, blogs.

*** Work for the lose.

^ Moral of the story: never be the last to leave. At least we managed to muster enough cash. It’s easy when you have a spare kidney. Who needs 2 anyway?

^^ Pure speculation derived from imagination.

That’s BIG!

BioShock is epic. i’ve never been so excited for a game since FFVIII. The demo is brilliant, the art work superb and gameplay superlative to say the least. Oh and the story seems quite godlike too.

Apart from rampant BioShock sessions, the usual moaning about work sessions, my life seems to have , ironically at this juncture, gained meaning.

All hail convocations.

It is time where you prance around ye olde college gates and put on a great pretense of hitting it big time with illusions of grandeur, pomp and show. Showing the world and more importantly your “friends” that you’re the best there is, right up there sharing a table with the big dogs, when actually you’re shitting bricks in the dog pound.

A mere shell of your former self, coming to terms with the realities of life. But, hey, life’s about oneupmanship right?

After all nothing soothes an ego more than talking big, playing big and being big, even if its just for a few hours, the after effects are good enough to please the only thing that’s big.

No get your head out of the gutter, it’s the ego.

And it is with this event, an event which is probably worth shit on the great, grand cosmic scale of the universe, that my life has suddenly gained meaning and purpose beyond my greatest imagination and understanding.

Now if you excuse me, i’ve to practice the subtle arts of name dropping, adopting a snooty “i’m Paris Hilton, bitch” attitude and mugging up the dictionary in search of words that would make me sound super cool.

Rant!

Over the past week there’s been a lot of things to pop a blood cell or twenty over. Gin and tonic with the right camaraderie does wonders for the soul. At least relieving it enough to get my cosmic sized arse over to my PC and type this rant.

1. Flooding. Water to the point that if aliens were to visit earth anytime soon they’d think Mumbai was bloody Atlantis. i guess the jerk offs at the BMC are using their funds alright, probably has something to do with the residential spliffers running out of stuff to spliff on.

2. The Cyber Cell. First it was kids badmouthing their teachers on Orkut who were stifled, then a bunch of BMS folks and what not. For fuck’s sake it looks like no one’s safe to give their view on any issue especially if it involves educational institutions. So much for education opening one’s mind to form an opinion.

3. Transformers. What the hell is going on? That movie was supposed to release last week. The distributors are probably still wetting their pants in the nasal goop that is Himesh Reshamiya’s acting debut, Aap ke Suroor. Then again, it grossed more than those odious Yash Raj movies so there may be some method to the madness of shitty stories and wannabe “OMFG i am so morose” sentiment surrounding each billboard proclaiming that the half-wit will be seen “without a cap” for the first time.

4. Gamespot. Congratulations you jerk offs. Your new rating system insults my intelligence and all those who visit your site. May you enjoy bedding the marketing departments of crooked game publishers such as EA. As for me, i’ll be visiting Gamesradar, Gamerevolution and the user review section of your IQ minus 40 games review site.

5. Next-Gen console price gouging. Seriously guys, all of you. Especially you Microsoft. A premium system at Rs. 27,750 ($ 639) is highway robbery. But then i get red rings of death for free! So it all balances out right. Guess i’ll be scouring the grey market for my next-gen fix. X360 or otherwise.

6. People who use the loo and decide to leave the door fully open for the entire world to see. And puke. There’s a reason why a lock was invented. And doors too. USE THEM!

7. The Mumbai University. Congratulations for making marks the sole criteria for entering into the Mass Media course. Now we’re going to have freaks, mug pots and morons reminiscing of their physics and calculus days all while try to juggling the common sense of marketing, the irrationality of copy writing and the precision of media planning.

Blah, its been a hectic week. Again. At least Die Hard 4.0 was pure ownage ditto with meeting the Sambot.

It’s been awhile since i’ve done a regular update. Projects are a bitch. Especially if they’re the ones that more or less make or break your 3 years of BMM.

Well stereotypical ruminations aside, things are getting less stressful. Like that stage in a movie where the villain gets his just desserts, the mysteries are solved and everyone is in the process of tying up the loose ends. Good times, good times.

For instance, its amazing how a bit of a trip onto the female side can do wonders for your thought process. Photographed in stunning detail is a friend flaunting his painted nails and getting his eyes made up (is that the right term?).

One might ponder on its usefulness, but it led to this usually quiet boy to come up with a barrage of ideas for our Agency Management project on ESPN, such as:

“We should keep the ESPN logo on sports underwear with line ‘Unleash the Sport Within.’ “

“ESPN should have a Valentine’s Day promo card entitled ‘Bat Safely on a sticky wicket.’”

As you can see it does wonders for his usually quiet demeanor. And his face too.

Now Listening To : A Perfect Circle – The Outsider

Check out the fists of the metrosexual gangster (wannabe).

As you can see, he’s the male counterpart of the famous Chris De Burgh song, Lady In Red.

As you can see, make up is ALWAYS tested on animals.

The Day After Yesterday!

Eight Random Thoughts of the Day

1. Today is Junk’s birthday. A fine surprise party last night for one of the finer people around. He always has a laugh or ten to share. Most of which are unintentional, but we’ll take what we can.

2. Meeting with the Sam is fun. Even more so when you crack up as you see him. Then again, somethings can’t be helped. Especially when they turn out looking like Jim Carrey.

3. It’s been close to six weeks without my PC. This sucks so bad it makes Dhoom 2 seem almost watchable (and that my friend, is no mean feat). What is a geek without his PC? More like Hugh Hefner without the Playboy Bunnies. Perish the thought! Of a geek without a PC that is. Hugh doesn’t deserve the Bunnies.

4. A new monitor awaits me. Widescreen gaming in 19″ or 20.1″ beckons. Hopefully before the year ends.

5. …and so does my PC, sans the motherboard issues. Asrock sucks arse.

6. Incubus makes some real nice music. Mellow compared to my staple fare of heavy metal.

7. Meeting the girlfriends family for dinner with your family is perfect. Until both sets of moms decide to exchange notes, leaving their sons and daughters wish that they could melt into the floor amidst a meal at ChinaGate or hide in their shirt during after dinner coffee at CCD. Atria Mall makes all your embarrassing childhood memories come true.

8. Final Fantasy XII is a frelling tough game. So tough that it makes my final semester of BMM seem easy.

9. You know things take a turn for the unreal when you’ve a conversation with your parents that has them saying, “Do you want a PS3?”. After the preliminary shock, you muster enough courage to say you rather get an Xbox 360 instead.
