Wednesday Happened

23 May

“If you’re going for it, don’t be a hero and just say you’re going for it.”

“Dude, if I were going for it I’d say I was. Heck you’d know if I was. Haven’t you watched any old school Hindi flicks? You CAN TELL who the hero is in one glance.”

Sure the conversation above was in reference to something completely different (which may or may not involve women). But it is apt for my current conundrum. Either way things can get pretty disturbing when you’re told “TRUST ME” in a context that’s purely professional. You can’t tell where some people stand. Even if they apparently have the best intentions.

So yes, the “talk” happened with decibel breakage (mainly from my side) as well leading to more than a few people wondering what was going on cementing my belief that the best of intentions are hindered by compromise and other crap needed to make a system work. Or at least have a semblance of function.

On the bright side I was a recipient of a few hilarious text messages, the best of which was “Lol, coming for lunch?”.  Regardless of the outcome, I feel it’s time to level up. There’s so much I want to do. So little time to do it. Too little of it to waste bickering with a bunch of trolls.

Oh and I’m “overly aggressive”.

LOL.

10 May

It’s 5: 22 AM.

By the time I’m done typing this post, it’ll be close to 6 AM on a Monday morning if not already past it.

Needless to say, things are pretty messed up if you find yourself in front of your computer screen in a post-sleep, caffeine and Gatorade fueled haze in a vain, almost cursory attempt at trying to be coherent on a blog that has been, of late a dumping ground for perverse jokes and randomness instead of doing the 24465476879346322154667799 other things that do matter in a life span that’s relatively short and useless relative to the great scheme of things in the universe.

Read that last paragraph? 4 lines. One sentence. Good-bye coherency and sense, I barely knew you.

Then again, it joins the ranks of seemingly important, high priority entities that I’ve lost a grip on. I feel directionless, burned out and on the verge of , if not already in, some sick, twisted form of misery and depression.

Amazing isn’t it? Close to 2 years ago I thought I won the proverbial lottery in the most literal sense possible. I was in an industry I loved working on things that mattered and making a difference. Or so I thought.

Right now everything leading up to this moment seems completely disjointed, a rambling Frankenstein-like specimen stitched together by delusions of self-worth. Everything seems to be colored in monotony. Waking up is a chore, getting to work even a bigger one, surviving the day, the biggest of all. And it makes me wonder.

You know that in superhero flicks and comics there’s a prolonged period of struggle before they finally manage to find a way to defeat their villains right? This period of my life seems like those 5-10 pages or the odd thirty minutes of celluloid struggle. On constant loop. A rerun of cheap satire that’s probably keeping some alien race entertained as they’re watching from high above, a comedic filler giving their aspirations of galactic domination a massive boost if this was an indicator of how the rest of humanity pans out.

I’m just tired. Frayed. And seven shades of shit rolled into one convenient package that’s prevented from hitting the fan due to a heady mix of music, video games, anime, coffee and alcohol. But for how long?

There’s only so much an IQ of 160 severed by a dominant right-brain can do. Couple that with a personal life that’s as healthy as a dead person and social life where the high point is getting sloshed on a Saturday night leads me to believe that I need a change. A change of everything. A change from everyone. A change absolutely wholesale.

I need to find a way out. Before life becomes the death of me. Until a suitable solution is found I’ll be busy helping stone golems discover who they were before they became well…stone golems.

Stone Golems. Making hating pigeons cool since forever.

Oh what do you know? It’s 6:40 AM. Am I Nostradamus or what?

Why Women Can’t Be Ninjas Part III

4 Feb

The final part in this epic saga of awesomeness. Maybe.

Sherrie: ahoy hoy

slackerninja: hey sup?

Sherrie: you have the funniest convos

slackerninja: totally

Sherrie: btw why exactly can’t women be ninjas?

slackerninja: THEY CANNOT! THEY DO NOT EXIST

Sherrie: what tha???

slackerninja: It’s like trying to say people get drunk on wine and white chocolate exists

Sherrie: but manga tells us otherwise!

slackerninja: or Lady Gaga is female

Sherrie: er, yes drunk on wine…

slackerninja: in your dreams

Sherrie: but i’m just saying, women are generally stealthier than men?

slackerninja: no…fatter doesn’t mean stealthier

Note to self: I still wonder how I survived that particular conversation, think it had something to do with  my copious consumption of Absolut Raspberry. And cranberry juice.

Insert appropriate The Departed reference here.

Why Women Can’t Be Ninjas Part II

1 Feb

Rishi: So Game4U’s going to be on TV.

Lehar: Nice! How’d that happen?

Rishi: Christina and I are ninjas.

Lehar: Oh! So if Christina is a ninja you concede that ninjas can be female?

Rishi: I said she was ninja. Not female.

Lehar: Oh she is one. Trust me. I know.

Rishi: Dude, too much information.

Note to self: Train rides with office people are hazardous to mental health and imagination.

The best way to get someone’s attention.

26 Apr

Ever had a scenario where you needed to get someone’s attention and have already tried everything? And by “everything” that would include sacrificing virgins, summoning godzilla and nuking a small continent. Fret not, here at Slackerninja’s Freestyle Dojo, we have a method that’s fool proof and guarantees 100% results else your money back!

Ladies and gentlemen i present to you what is the greatest possible way to grab someone’s attention.

Ninja Monkeys. With spoons.

Did your head explode? Yeah i thought so, let me say that again. Ninja Monkeys. With spoons. Just don’t get any gibs on the carpet.

What you need for this are:

  • 3 monkeys
  • 3 spoons
  • 1 DVD of  the Ninja Scroll anime
  • 1 TV
  • 1 DVD player
  • 1 empty room
  • 1 airplane

Directions:

Hook up the TV and DVD player in the empty room, play the Ninja Scroll anime on loop. Leave the monkeys inside for a week. Carefully approach the room, hand them spoons. Get them to an airplane, zeroed into the coordinates of the person who’s attention you need. Air drop the monkeys right  above said person for desired effect as illustrated below:

You might wonder, why spoons? Well because theyre effective killing tools. Believe.

You might wonder, why spoons? Well because they're effective killing tools. Believe.

So there you have it all you attention whores seekers.  The undisputedly most effective way to grab anyone’s attention!
