The return...

I am back to blogging. And this time the break was legitimate. My head was clouded with uncertainties about my future, but some ray of hope has been able to disperse the fog. Fearing that I might have partially lost some penning skills I am going to keep this short and sweet about three independent thoughts.

People love music because it soothing, relaxing, entertaining blah blah blah. But there is one more reason I love music. Certain albums, songs or even jingles are associated with discrete moments of my life. Almost all of them happy. Often, a particular tune flashes me with memories of some particular event of my lifetime. There has never been two moments attached to one song, and neither are two songs related to one event. It is strictly a one-to-one mapping. Not only for the reason that these memories were pleasant, and are probably to stay forever, they are one of my ways to keep track of my life's timeline. If you were to ask, "Guess which year did he or she get married", my search engine uses powerful algorithms to track back to the song associated with the nearest memory, and inter/extrapolates the query with the music release year.

I am a facebook fan, alright. Not sure there is a way to actually become a 'fan' of facebook on facebook. However, I always knew it could be an excellent way to analyze trends, statistically. There are occasions when people have done that too, which I gather from posts. It is for its own reasons, a trendsetter, brilliant and many a time, ridiculous. I shall concentrate on my latter judgement. I agree, resharing does increase visibility of interesting articles (and of course if you are really trying, yourself), but come on people, do you really need to reiterate game results, announce movie climaxes and worst of all acquire hobbies. I observe, statistically, that photography is every other person's hobby (quite a blow to my knowledge from introductions in middle school, wherein I ranked stamp collection and reading as the bestsellers). There is no doubt technology has given way to cheaper cameras, inexpensive storing and processing of images, actually or artificially, and with practice or by sheer chance, you will eventually click some amazing shots. But till you do so, it is not absolutely necessary to show off your camera (whose functionality and versatility people barely know or care to read) skills or the lack thereof, publicly on facebook.

Lastly, if you are aware of South Park's Captain Hindsight, this is about how he is a close resemblance, in most cases, and with no offense to anybody in particular, women. I do not like when I am forced to acknowledge, repeatedly, that I was wrong. All's well with 'history repeats itself' and one should 'learn from past mistakes' crap, but the damage's done, and if it cannot be reversed, kindly stop whining and ranting about it. Women are excellent in reminding how and where you went wrong and what you should have done, but with absolutely no clue to what ought to be done now. I hate it and I am sure most menfolk would express solidarity here. This is not criticism but a simple statement of fact and a suggestion for corrective action.

This post wasn't really so short after all. More in the next. Adios!!
