25 things..or maybe less

Everyone's doing it everywhere. I thought I'd do it here. Here is a list of 25 or may be less things of whatever-:

1. Writing's crap and boring. I prefer talking, online chatting and screaming.

2. If looks could kill, i probably would've died a number of times

3. It kills me to know that so many people are travelling around the world, exploring differnet places at this very moment while I am here typing out this mindless shit.

4. My true love is music and unfortunately all gifted musicians are either broke or drug addicts or both.

5. I am a control freak in the making. I love to bully.

6. I think common sense decreases the more you climb up the corporate ladder.

7. I like to form words in the air. I do this quite often.

8.  I hate the fact that the mindless Paris Hilton has so much more money than me.

9. I hate pretending to be nice all the time.

10.  I discovered what true happiness is when I held my pair of drum sticks for the first time. Can't wait to begin to play.

11. I secretly want to be a hip hop artist but I can't rap!

12. I love to sing. If my voice were'nt so bad, I would sing in public all day long.

13.  I am running out of things to write.

14. As much as I crib about being single, I secretly love the fact that I don't have a boyfriend. In these times of recession, it;s the best thing.

15. I wish I could fly. I envy all the birds.

16.  I am yet to discover my true passion and I am in no hurry. I know it will find me.

17. I dont miss my school and college days.  Life sucked then and life sucks now. No point in cribbing and "missing the good ol' days".

18. Sex is over-rated. It is one activity everyone indulges in and yet no one speaks about it. 

19. I love everyone who's on Twitter.

20. I like to know everything about everyone everytime.

21. I like to read but not as much as I say I do.

22. Whoever thought of this 25 things  all those who write it have nothing better to do in life. Go save the world or something.

Chapter One

She could not trust anybody she met. Her thoughts were largely colored by what others felt. She was getting closer to deceiving herself every day. It felt like small rocks were slowly filling up in every space of her body and that if she did not conform to the “rules of the game”, she would be left behind and lead an average life.  She longed for Prince Charming and rejected everyone who came along. She also never had any real friends. All those she met had some agenda which once fulfilled, would go away, giving her only a taste of what real friendship could be like. The ones she tried to hang out with were always disapproved by either her family or her other “good” friends.

She tried to be someone else every day, since being herself made her look shallow, silly and juvenile. Everything she thought was wrong. Everything she wanted to do was unsuitable. She was going nowhere and she was pleasing no body.

808s and Heartbreak

I usually dont listen to complete  albums by single artists. They tend to bore me so I keep myself limited to a few of their popular tracks. 

I am also a faithful hip hop/r&b/rap fan. Though pop, rock, jazz interest me, but hip hop is something i keep coming back to.  I stumbled upon Kanye West's latest album 808s and Heartbreak via Grey's Anatomy. One of the latest episodes had Streetlights playing and as is my habit, I went on to investigate  the song.

Kanye;s 808s and Heartbreak is experimental album. He has explored new sounds,  beats and lyrics and is definetly unlike his other albums.

Another brilliant track from the album is Tell Everybdy That You KNow which features Lil Wayne. After the much successful (& grammy winner) Tha Carter III, Lil Wayne has certainly come a long way. This track has the two artists experimenting with never heard before voice effects and rapping. totally love the number and cannot help listening to it over  and over again.

All in all, a supremely interesting album and definetly recommended to all those who are bored of the boring cliched gangsta rap/hip hop. This one's a refreshing change.

Music

I love every song I listen to. Any thing that makes me move, allows me to dream and helps me take my mind off of reality.

Music represents more than just lyrics, beats and rythm. It is another form of living. A life where you don't have to worry about anything, think about anything or even bother being nice to anyone. Our whole life can be summed up by a few tracks; that's how simple music can make life. 

While we try to classify music as trashy or classic; meaningful or simply a waste of melody, the tuth remains, our souls are alive because we can always tune out of reality's single boring note and transport ourselves into this magical world where there are so many beats that you son drift off into bliss.

So whether we like hip hop or country or rock or pop, we all are united by this one singular string which keeps us breathing everyday.

Go discover your music. Go discover your life.

New year...Already??

Yup! That was my reaction when I realized that New Year was just a few days away. I could'nt believe time could deceit me like this. It was just yesterday when I was sending out hate mails to a few people I (obviously) hate, enrolling myself in courses I knew I would never take seriously, reading books I'd hardly ever finish- being busy with things I had planned. And all of a sudden, I found myself waking up on a sunny morning of '09

I like to make my entry into the new year very proper. This time, it caught me by surprise.

What does the new year mean to me? The answer eludes me this time. Sometime back, I had written about the existence of a glass wall between two parts of our being- who we are and who we really want to be. The thickness of the glass depends on how badly we want to go over to the other side. I had also observed that my glass wall was pretty thick. This year, therefore, I plan to break into the other side. Live like I always imagined myself living. Know for certain whether or not I'll like it.

This will be my mantra for this year. Doing everything I did not do till now. It's going to be tough. But who cares? In the end, no one really bothers whether you won, lost or even took part. It's only you who will remember what really happened and that is what will matter the most.

I end with my last year's resolution (excellently summed up by Agate) which I plan to take with me this year too.

" New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take more of my time"- James Agate

Keep shining your light on everyone. Who knows, it might come back you in your darkest hour.

Mayhem

Mayhem. That is what describes this blog perfectly.  It is about nothing yet will be about everything. Beware of frequent changes in the blog. It will just be the beginning.

Before you begin to wonder on the name of the blog, STOP. The name has nothing to do with what will go on here. It does represent the overall theme. It is about shining brightly when the light hits you and then even more when it passes away.

Till I write next, Glitter, Sparkle and Shine.

Happy New Year!
