Hi guys,this is my first blog in a long....well actually this is my first blog and I am a total noob (It means a person who is inexperienced in a particular field) at it,since I just started.I will be posting regularly,relating to both serious and funny subject matters.I want you to comment,and please do not hesitate to point out any mistakes or flaws whatsoever.As we are done with the introduction,here we go...
I have been thinking about blogging since a very long time,but honestly never found time for it (which is pretty stupid,since I waste time more than I utilize it.I guess I classify time-killing acts of epic boredom as a 'To-Do' thing).It all started when I saw an episode of the hit comedy TV-Show "How I met your Mother",where the character of Barney Stinson (played by Neal Patrick Harris) was posting his blog on the internet,finishing with his punch line "I'm Barney,and I am awesome!" or something of that sort.It got me thinking that we do so many things in life and forget about them.So many important memories just slip away.Then I realized that I should have some sort of system,you know so that I can hold on to the precious moments of my life that I would later cherish.By the way,did you guys know that Neal Patrick Harris was gay???And look at Barney Stinson,always the ladies-man!!!Shows you what a great actor NPH is.He is portraying a character which is exactly the opposite of his real self!!! I told that to a friend of mine,and he was very upset,because Barney was like his role-model and to find that the person who portrayed that was just acting...Isn't it kind of silly,we sometimes get so caught up in this imaginary characters that we start considering them real,and when reality contradicts,we feel so.....dejected,I guess.Still,I think Neal Patrick Harris is one of the best actors I have ever seen!
So far,blogging seems real nice.I mean,blogs are awesome!You can literally do anything!!You can post your thoughts,your feelings,your opinions,your political views,you can post anything you feel like writing at the moment!!!I don't know why I didn't come to this stuff before!Maybe,it's because I am a college student and life gets pretty busy for me.Just recently,a friend of mine started his,so I thought why shouldn't I start as well?Well now I am on vacations,and I hope to do this thing all summers and if luck is on my side,continue after my college re-opens!Even if I am unable to then,I still have two months of vacations!(I have already spent one)
This past month was a really memorable month for me.I returned home from college after almost an year and met all my old high school friends,and it was thrilling to see them.They reminded me of the Golden times,when we were young(I mean I am still young,but I can't find a better word to refer to the past) and stupid and daring,doing all kinds of crazy stuff that no one would ever dream of doing (At least no grown-ups,they are just boring).Like this one time,we picked up the smallest person amongst us and flung him into a dumpster,just for the fun of it(Thank God,I wasn't small)!We all got a huge crack out of it(Except for the kid in the dumpster,of course).And another time,we all tried to jump from a 25 feet high wall,just to see who would land on their feet,and who on their butts(most probably the fat ones).That wasn't funny,it was plain dumb,but still we enjoyed it at that time.
It hasn't exactly been a smooth ride for me,though.One of the reasons I was so eager to get out of college was to meet my best friend and childhood buddy,whom I hadn't seen in almost an year.I missed him very much.He was your everyday typical teenager,except for the fact that he was very funny and witty,and usually he got his way with his words.But like every other teenager,he was every bit as stupid,and it frequently landed him in a heap of trouble and ultimately cost him a lot.
He always used to get off easy for the stupid stuff he did,just because he was underage.I was usually sitting at my home,playing some game online when my phone used to ring and I would run to pick it up.Then after the usual greetings he would tell me he was in detention,and he got one call.When I asked him what happened (always dreading the answer) he would tell me a really weird story,always ending with "Apparently,you are not supposed to give death threats to Mr.Jefferson over the phone (He was our Chemistry teacher)" or "Apparently,you are not supposed to raise fake alarms at the police department for possible terrorists and bombs".Poor Mr.Thomson had a hard time,facing the police inquiry.Then he would tell me he loved me and to tell his parents to get him out.
But those were just stupid teenage pranks.One day,he went further.While I was gone to college,he got himself into real problems,like drugs.He was always out of money,but he never told me he was on drugs.How was I to know what he was doing?Sometime after I went to college,all communication with him dropped out.He didn't answer my calls,nor my mails and he wasn't on Facebook either.I tried for a very long time.Then,after two and a half months,he calls me from an unknown number.He was okay,he just got arrested and sentenced to six months in prison.Six freaking months?And he was so casual about it!He had already served two and half,which was the reason for his communicational absence.When I asked what happened,(This time,dreading the answer more than ever)he replied in the same comical tone,"Apparently,you are not supposed to steal Car batteries so that you can sell them and use the money for drugs".Poor fellow,I feel for him so much and I miss him sorely.I just wish this last month will pass quickly!Well now people should know that drugs are lethal for your health and your well-beings.Please,always stay away from them!
That's how unpredictable life is.One moment you are all set,having the time of your life,thinking nothing could go wrong,and at the next moment the tables are turned.We become so overconfident that we consider life soft,malleable,easy-going.We consider it a 'noob' and manage to delude ourselves that we are in control.We usually don't realize that life is cruel,that we have to work hard to save ourselves from its cruelty...
It's usually too late,before it dawns upon us that we are actually,in 'The Noob's Playground'.Oh the irony...
