Writing a book

Last night, I was laying in bed and trying to get to sleep. Lately though I've started listening to music before I fall asleep. The problem with this is, that I generally can't sleep until the entire playlist is done. Yes, I know it's kind of ironic that the music I listen to so I can fall asleep is the same music that keeps me awake. Anyway, I digress. So there I was trying to fall asleep when this random thought passed my mind.

Now as far as random thoughts go, this wasn't as random as the thought of me dropping a piano on my sisters head from a four story building. It probably isn't as random as the thought of becoming the first Indian Astronaut to play golf on Pluto.

No this random thought was basically me thinking about writing a book. I would like to take this opportunity to blame these kind of thoughts on my mother who is determined to push me into the field of writing. So anyway, since the thought had popped into my head and since I couldn't get to sleep I decided to entertain it for a bit.

The first question that came to my mind was "What the hell would I write about?". I can't really write anything serious because well let's face it, it would turn out to be pure drivel. I could try to write about fiction since I enjoy books like Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, etc. Unfortunately, my imagination sucks. The only thing my imagination is good for is imagining a naked HCHHSSTT doing a very seductive strip tease on the imaginary stripping pole in my bedroom and basically making my day. I'm almost a hundred percent sure nobody wants me to write about that. So there I was stuck before I even started.

Then it occurred to me! Why not write a book about 101 way's to lose an HCHHSSTT. After all I feel that I have enough experience in this field. Not necessarily because it's all happened to me, but also because I know enough people that happen to be "dating challenged". Here are just five points that I thought I'd bring up:

1) Do not ever on any condition listen to Sri Lankan best friends that believe they know everything there is to know about women by reading online articles!

2) Do not ever on any condition listen to Indian best friends that believe they know everything there is to know about women by reading "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus".

3) Whatever you do, do not bring up any jokes that end with you saying "Don't worry! I promise to stalk you!" (Sigh, yes not the highlight of my life!).

4) Do not ever try to hit on two different women that are best friends one after the other. Especially when you lack the sexual competency of Hugh Hefner, Hugh Jackman or Hugh Grant.

and finally...

5) Whatever you do, and this is very important my dear ardent readers, DO NOT ever get drunk, make out with an engaged chick and hope that her best friend will find that "Hot".

So, I think I may have the beginnings of something good here. Then again, I'm sure somebody else has probably beaten me to the punch.

C'est La Vie.
