Scotch, Music and Conversation

I'm sitting at my desk and I'm pondering what I should blog about. I've come to the realisation that somewhere along the way I have lost sight about what my blog is supposed to be about.

It started off as a "My Firsts" list. Obviously, as time went on I ran out of "My Firsts" or at least didn't have as many to write about. The sad truth about this is, maybe I should be doing more new things in my life. That realisation has me sitting here pondering the lack of adventure and excitement I face everyday.

However, before I digress any further, let us get back to the progression of my blog. Today, it seems to be a combination of various activities I've taken part in and rules that I'd like to believe I follow in my life.

There is definitely something to be said for someone that post's about all the different rules to be followed in different situations. I'm just not sure if it's something good or bad. I guess I can ponder this later.

So I've decided that today, I'm just going to write complete gibberish and hope that whoever reads on doesn't fall asleep. If by now it's not obvious to you that I'm not at all sure where this blog or post is going, you may want to pat yourself on the head and close the browser window.

First of all, after spending a month living with my brother and MWA, I've come to the realisation that while I love living alone, there is definitely something to be said about having the company of people you truly care about at all times. In a lot of ways, the last month reminded me just how much I miss the luxuries I had in NYC. I'm not referring to the lifestyle. What I truly miss is the fact that I was living with the most important people in my life, and all the while I was afforded enough privacy and space to ensure my sanity. Definitely good times.

I've also realised that if I ever hope to get into a live in relationship with an HCHHSSTT, I'd better get used to thing's not being the way I like them. I'm not quite sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing but at least I don't need to worry about that anytime soon.

I went to an engagement this weekend and came away realising that while I am very proud to be Indian, I refuse to get engaged / married the way Indians do. I've already posted on what I'm going to do for my wedding. Well as far as my engagement "party" goes, I think it will just be a small affair with some close friends, lots of alcohol and tons of women. I figure if I have to wake up the next day with the realization that I'm never going to sleep with more than one chick for the rest of my life, well then I need a pick me upper and the alcohol and women are going to help there.

As for inviting family to my engagement "party", well I think it's better if I just took them out for an engagement lunch somewhere fancy and have a combination of my Mom and Brother foot the bill for me.

In another interesting twist, I now have no filter when I say things or do things. After two plus years dealing with a set of people that just plain irritate me, I have made a conscious decision to not deal with them if I don't have too and walk off.

Case in point was the engagement I went to this weekend, where I eventually got tired of waiting for the engaged couple to land up at their own afterparty and left before they showed up, this was preceded by me telling a girl she was boring me and walking away while she was still talking, which I know my mother wouldn't be happy with me for, but in my defense she deserved it. Interestingly enough, I almost forgot about the guy I flipped off because he was acting like a douche.

On a rather large side note, there are a lot of ways to get over various romantic interests in your life. You could always start dating someone a lot smarter and better looking, alternatively you could just move away to a different country and hope never to see the person again. However, you should never underestimate the power of seeing a romantic interest of yours making what you believe to be the biggest mistake of their life. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong, it's all about belief.

Finally, I have to admit that while it can be fun going out on a date with various HCHHSSTT's, sometimes the best thing to help you relax could just be scotch, music and conversation.
