Tis been a while!...
...indeed. It looks like my last post was in December of last year. Wow...that's quite a while! What's going on with me....
- My laptop's gone kapoot (the LCD power inverter and me decided to part ways because of irreconcilable differences...). My trusty,diminutive backup is faithfully feeding my Gmail addiction and will continue to do so until USPS feels that I've learnt my lesson and have turned into a good lil boy.
- I'm fed up with cooking. Since the past 3 weeks, I'm alternating between having cereal thrice a day to having a sumptuous peanut butter/Jelly sandwich at 3 in the morning!
- I'm totally demotivated, confused etc. etc. etc...and with my thesis defense sometime in the next 60-75 days, the timing couldn't be better!
- I'm searching for a job...........again, the timing couldn't be better!!
- I've got a new pair of sandals (blueee)!
- Pandora.com ROCKS!
- I'm beginning to like Pringles (Kickin' Cheddar) a lot...
- I'm bored....
- ...and now sleepy.

No End in Sight
It's a must watch for anyone who wants to know WHY things are happening the way they are in Iraq. And, it's also a must see for anyone who's interested in watching the United States of America admit and accept to the fact that it f****** up...big time.
I've seen quite a few documentaries based on 9/11 and it's aftermath and I can say without much hesitation that this has been the most hard-hitting of them all. And this is not because of an expansive conspiracy theory laying the foundations for the film or emotional interviews and graphic depictions of war that would force you to have an emotional outburst for a few minutes, only for you to get on with your life after that. Instead, it has facts presented by the very same people who directly or indirectly, knowingly or unknowlingly helped orchestrate the farce that the war on Iraq was. With first hand admission of screw-up's by the who's who of the US intelligence and defence communities, it's hard to ignore what this documentary has to say.
To sum it up, it tells you how and why the Iraq war has proven to be a $1.8 Trillion dollar ugly mole, surgically implanted to scar the face of the US for a very, very long time to come. Plus, it justifies the throwing of boots on George W. Bush with aplomb. So, Mr.Rumsfeld, do you want a Prada or would Hush Puppies suffice? :)

I think I am...
...a loner. I always thought I was one, but I'm becoming increasingly sure of it with each passing day. Well, we'll just have to add that to my list of colorful qualities!
As per Wiki:
A loner is a label for a person who does not actively seek, avoids, or is isolated from human interaction. There are many reasons for solitude, intentional or otherwise. Various mental illnesses and social difficulties can be linked to reclusiveness; however no specific cause is implied by the term loner. The term loner is usually used with a negative connotation in the belief that humans are social creatures and those that do not participate are different. The label has often been applied pejoratively by the media to individuals deemed strange or pathetic. The loner may take pride in or be ashamed of his or her behavior.
I'm neither proud...nor ashamed.

The first outing!
After a booze party that lasted nearly 3 weeks, our fearsome threesome are back to doing what they do the best! Saving the world from themselves!
Scenario: A fire in just one room in a neighbourhood asylum.
Cave Man: "My bark of wood will catch fire, cross that out. My Fruity Fart will actually vent the fire! Cross that out too. AHA! 3 weeks worth of beer in my belly...I can "piss-out" the fire!...Muhahaha!"
Hamster Boy: "Power-Bite!! I'll nibble at everything in the building, bringing it all down!! I'm sure no one cares if a heap of rubble is burning, instead of the building itself!!"
The Sloth: "Guys, can you please pass me a can or 2 of beer before you'll leave? Thanks!"
Together, the Terribly Trepid Three save the neighbouorhood asylum...kinda...sort of...ummm...atleast they tried?...ish?
TTT!™

Friendly meighbourhood Superheroes!
Starting from next weekend, I'm gonna do a comic strip of sorts (not DRAW it) and I'll try my level best to update it every weekend (unless of course, the sky falls down on us...in which case reading/updating the blog won't be high on the list of priorities for anyone!).
On that bombshell, let me introduce you to our 3 friendly neighborhood superheroes who are always ready to lend a helping hand (or shamelessly ask for one!)...I present to you...
Cave-Man!
Bio:
Stronger than the strongest...err...strong man, Cave-man is masculinity personified beyond belief! When he's not spending time at the gym working out or sleeping (or eating...a lot...of anything...even if it doesn't look edible...), he's almost always trying to impress the opposite sex. And boy oh boy...do the girls love him or what (...mostly the ones who want a pet Yetti or a very very hairy dog...)!
Weapon of Choice:
a) A bark of wood
b) Fruity Fart (sounds sweet...I can assure you, it is anything but!!)
Theme Song:
Very similar to the Bird-Man theme. For those of you who are not very familiar with this, hit this link and hear how they say..."Biiiiiiird-Man!". Replace the Biiiiiiird with Caaaaave...and voila! A theme that will send shivers down the spine of /any/ rodent! OKAY?
Note: Cave-Man does not have any of those cool gadgets or rays or any other stuff you see in that video; Just raw, pure...manly strength (and stench!).
Hamster-Boy!
Bio:
Looks can be deceptive. Strength is only fur deep. If ever anyone wanted a better example for these 2 very famous quotes (the 2nd one /IS/ famous...I promise you!!)...look no further than Hamster-boy! What he lacks in terms of sheer muscle/strength, he MORE than makes up with his awesomely powerful...ummm...err...buck-tooth! Yes! Those 2 small, insignificant, totally unintimidating but SHARP teeth of his can cause a LOT OF HARM...to your vegetables and fruits. And as you can see, he works out too...OKAY? It's just that it doesn't...ever...show.
Weapon of Choice:
a) Power-Run (he can EASILY out-run the enemies chasing him!)
b) Power-Bite (If those sharp teeth of his strike your body...you better run to the nearest pharmacy...to get some deodrant...because his saliva stinks!)
Theme Song:
He refused to pay his PR agency...and so, atleast for now, our beloved Hamster-boy doesn't have a theme. But he'll have one...soon...hopefully!
The Sloth!
Bio:
Yea...that's right, be afraid...be V E R Y afraid; he's a sloth and you're not! Exceptionally calm, cool and collected, The Sloth will never react...to anything...ever.Period. Some call him lazy, some call him extremely lazy and some are actually demanding that the word lazy be removed from our dictionaries and be replaced with The Sloth. But little to these tiny humans know, that The Sloth can...ummm...do nothing. But that doesn't mean he's useless okay? He can /ACT/ as if he has super powers and that's MORE than enough to scare most insects away! So who's stupid now hah?
Weapon of Choice:
a) NoThInGnEsS™ (Whoever thought doing NOTHING would be this powerful!)
b) Hyper-Sleep (Drop a bomb, piss on his face...he won't budge from his nap. Now THAT'S dedication and perseverance of a superhero for you!)
c) Yes...he has a 3rd weapon! The CLAAW (with 2 A's...he was told it'll bring him good luck!). With this weapon, he uses his claws to scratch off all the ticks/lies and other creatures off of his body and onto yours...all this, while sleeping!!
Theme Song:
While other superheroes have elaborate songs that praise them and their super-powers, The Sloth believes in taking a minimalist approach. That's originality for you I say! Kudos to The Sloth!
Together, these three form the Terribly Trepid Three! TTT!™
Tune in for the adventures of TTT!™...hopefully every weekend!
