Mood swings for a penny

Well since my last post on my blog has ended with some of my friends asking me about how things are back at my end(i am fine guys, i had a bad day that day), i alone decided unanimously that I shall speak about the infamous mood swings of geminis. Geminis have for long have been notorious for their irrational and sudden mood swings for a long time now. Now being an engineer(not that there is much to take pride in that in the 21st century) and believing in the impact zodiac signs on a person's behavior would count me under the superstitious group. Nevertheless, I shall talk about it. Geminis are like like..like ya..they are like going to a new restaurant.. u never know what kind of food u r gonna be served until u go there..it might be cold, it might be tasty or it might be boring..or it can be all. Lunch Time Gemini: "Hi there beautiful, how are u doing today?" Girl : "Great honey u r looking in a great mood today" Gemini: "U know it is illegal around here to be anything else with you" (Gemini flirting) 1/2 hour later Girl : "....and then I said she could go to Walmart instead to get a better dress for a cheaper price and I actually took her there in the evening.." Gemini(breaking in) : "hey.. something important just came up.. have to go..shall we call in for the cheque?" Gemini drops her off and spends the evening watching TV all evening Later that night Gemini : "Hi there..just called up..was wondering if you'd feel like going out for a ride right now" Girl : "What!!?!?!? its midnight now..do u have a clock at ur place?" Gemini : "I had one but i threw it..cause i havent been able to keep track of time ever since i met you..will pick u up in ten" (gemini flirting again) Next Day Morning Girl : "hi..just called up to say i had a great time with you last night..the ride was just wonderful..wit you" Gemini(sipping coffee) : "Ya..nice to know u liked it..i am still in bed right now..could i call u back later on?" (hangs up) Thats what Geminis are..

So What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its the most amazing question I guess any language could come up with. So what!! Come to think of it this question can be asked for every statement in English. I am 23. So what? Scott Stapp has turned solo and released his first album. So what? And this question is the indication of a person either totally frustrated or totally bugged,pissed to the very extreme. So what? The most wonderful verbal tool to put off anyone and a great way to have some piece of mind in the midst of a turmoil. So fucking what!!!

Here's some trivia Richest Monarch The richest monarch in the world as of April 2001, is King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud of Saudi Arabia. His estimated personal wealth amounts to around $30 billion. In power since 1982, the King's wealth primarily stems from oil, property and investments.

It was able to write itself over existing files, and to send valuable information - such as passwords - to its home site in the Philippines. Six months after it hit, more than 50 variants of the virus were still circling the globe. I always find such trivia interesting to read. Hope u ppl did too.

Bright Sunday Morning

It was a bright Sunday morning and I got up late as usual at eleven. I saw that Spiderman was sitting in the hall watching college football. I guessed he must have got bored alone at his place as his roommates - Dexter and Nancy Drew were out on a vacation. After the usual morning coffee and dry talk he mentioned he had run out of web and wanted to go to Walmart to get some. I offered to accompany him as I didn't have much to do anyway. We had to borrow Batman's car as mine had a flat tire. We drove over to Anderson Walmart and I started to browse through the hardware section where I noticed He-man. He was getting his sword serviced as it accumulated some rust on it. After the usual greetings, he told me that Battle Cat was at the salon getting his whiskers done. He also invited me to the football game the coming weekend. He had got 2 free tickets from the Simpsons as Bart and his sister had a sudden change of plans. I was at Walmart for almost an hour by then and i didn't have time to say a hello to Battle Cat. So me and Spiderman drove back home. On the way, I noticed Mask being caught by a cop for speeding. Sigh, its the third time this month. One more time, and he would have his license revoked again. After the mandatory ablutions, I decided to go to college to check my mail and to work on my assignment due next week. It was then that I realised that Hulk had borrowed my book and hasn't returned it yet. Tried calling him but it kept landing in his voice mail. Damn! It was lunch time and I went to Burger King to grab a quick bite. Superman was working the counter that day. The dude was trying to make a few bucks over weekends lately. I knew he was saving up for his girl. It was her birthday next month and their relation was turning out to be a bumpy ride lately. He wanted to get things back in order with her. After lunch, I tried slogging but ended up sleeping in the library for an hour. Woke up with regret and made an immediate resolution to start sleeping early from that day. Started walking back home and met Neo half way through at downtown. We had a couple of beers at Bad Apple and I had to listen to him as he kepy rattling about how much he missed Trinity. It was more than three months since they had broken up and he still hadn't gotten over her.He shouldn't have proposed to her so soon in the first place. Anyways, we were done after an hour or so and he gave me a ride till my home. Captain Planet and Supandi had already reached home by then. It was Suppandi's cooking turn that day and he had already started making pasta and salaami by then. Dinner was ready in an hour and I had a hearty meal. I crashed soon after that and slept like I would never wake up.
