Eternal Thinker: June 2009

Ode to MJ

I made a new smiley to the collection today morning.

This one, is a tribute to MJ, who passed away this 25th of June.

..to Michael Joseph Jackson, the king of pop

Symbol: :mj Smiley: :mj

To the amazing skills he possessed.. the infinite energy he had within.. to that great person who stood up shining despite all the negative waves aiming at him.

But to tell the truth, I was never a die hard fan of MJ. There were only a few songs of him that I really admired. MJ was anyways, one of my heroes in the childhood. His death has now brought my admiration back, taking me deeper to his genius and uniqueness.. telling me to do something for his soul..
MJ has inspired me a lot in these 2 or 3 days after he has left the Earth

Smileys for Blogger #Update 001

This is an emergency update on the previous post in this blog about adding the et smilies to your blogger blog: Smilies for Blogger

The script file for this facility was hosted in Google page creator originally. Recently Google has announced that Page creator will be no more in existence after about a week, and will be replaced by Google sites.

What happens is that, if you continue with the old code, one fine day you won't be seeing your smilies but only the symbols.

Here I'm giving the new code which you have to use instead of the old one. I have updated the code in the older post too. Refer the old post for instructions on how to use the code..

A general note to those who use other smilies in their blogs:
Most of the smiley scripts will be hosted by their authors in either Google Page Creator from Google or otherwise in Geocities from Yahoo! Here, Google is gonna shutdown the service of Page creator, as mentioned above. Another happy news is that Yahoo too, is gonna shutdown Geocities in a not so long while!

Guess what, smilies are gonna disappear from a lotsa blogs using em! Now this is my own observation. Keep your eyes open at where you collected your smiley code , and catch their updates soon! If they are too careless about this, you'll have to find some other source, obviously :) (yeah my smilies are still working!)

Forthwith Acquiescence of the Erroneous

Today I reached the class too early..

And found it too lonely..

Then I realized..

My 1.3MP cam still sucks big time!

Thank you, Photoshop.

For that matter, even Thank YOU.. Microsoft! (It doesn't mean I'm going to buy Windows 7, anyways)

Throughout the past week, I've been dreaming EVERY night.
Though they fade away so quickly, I remember that they were such colourful elaborate ones - One about the history of The Beatles, another one about the gal of my life, and etc etc.

The capsule doc gave me this time against food poisoning really keeps me drugged. I walk in a dream, I float weightless, I feel so happy.
As otherwise, I'm perfectly fine... aren't I ?

Black Out!

et loved the SAW series. :)

But his friends sued him for that. :(

et loved zombies :L

His friends never did. :~

No place for black(colour), no place for darkness, no place for the vampires and goths..

Then, et met Dark Gal :O

Oww.. and she loved everything mentioned above!
et and dg became gud, gud friends. :h

And then, they together created a daaark blog.
Painted in black, decorated with cob webs; built up in The Attic template.

et was born on 18th; dg on 5th.
Both were engineers.
18 - 5 = 13
The blog release was due on 13.

et slept off that day.

Again, 18 + 5 = 23
Nobody slept this time.

And thus was released The Dark Thinker by et and dg on the 23rd of June, in the dark midnight.

Bats flew in.. zombies crawled in.. wolves howled across the blogosphere.
The Dark Thinker 's here..!
Game on!

The Classroom

Today, I do the math
Today, you stare at the board

You are on the first bench
And I'm on the last
We keep ourselves pretty far
Despite how close our souls are

I know why you stare at the board
I know you see ourselves everywhere
I know what you scribble down in the note
I know you're trying to make a picture of me
Come over and check here,
Where I have a lot more pictures of you!

And now I know why you're not smiling today
And I know exactly where your mind is..
For today, I do the math
While today, you simply stare at the board.

We're moving on, but
We're embracing the extremes
Everyday, you make a friend
Everyday, I lose one.. like that *fingersnap*

We want to break apart
But we're floating in this thick-walled room
Filling it with our dying memories and denser thoughts..
Suffocating ourselves.

I even know it's not too long
When I seize doing the math
And you stop staring at infinity
Not too long till we exchange states.

For you, everything is temporary
That, my dear, is the saddest fact of the day.

What if I stand up straight right now
What if you turn around and run back to me
And lock your arms around me, amidst all the awkward eyes..
The most unlikely fantasy
I'd rather believe E.T. will come to earth today.

When the same ol' parameters tend to infinity
The answer becomes a big, pointless, Zero
Which doesn't make much sense, of course.

But at least for the moment,
Let me do the math.
And you keep staring at the black, black, board.

Being there

It's been days since I smiled with all my heart
It's been long since I picked my guitar strings

Oh! And today I'll go straight to the beach
At 5.00 pm, the evening.
I will stand on the glittering sand grains
And watch the gold dissolving into sea

I'll turn my head to the right
And I'll see her.
She is as lonely as I am
She is in need of a friend
We will stand still for a moment.
Then we'll fall in love.

With her soft palm in mine, I'll walk into the sea..
Straight to the sun, through the thick golden fluid
In knee deep water, no - waist deep -
I'll tell her "The world is so beautiful"

She'll move the curly black hair from her face
Her rosy lips shining,
Her ebonite eyes sparkling,
She smiles. She holds my hand tight.

Perfection. Completeness.
I'll just close my eyes.
I've seen everything.

The Eternal Thinker

Yeah I know.. it's been a while since I visited the Bloggersville.

It's not entirely that I'm so buried up in works so that I never get an inch of time.. For some part, I was intentionally keeping myself away from Bloggersville. I remember the times when I started this blog - years ago I suppose. I never cared much about all this blogging stuff. Then there was this period when I occasionally posted on random topics related to me. And after all that, I came face-to-face with some real blogs. On a slight note.. The Compulsive Confessor was my first ever inspiration to true blogging! :) Again, another blog inspired me to start with custom blog designs.. and so on, and so forth.

Over the time, blogging has grown into a huge, popular, sophisticated organism.. touching every corners of life and bringing together a virtual community. In a large enough society.. pretensions, greediness and self-interest are unavoidable. And I know, that some are totally enjoying it. I recently discovered that my reading list of blogs has grown so big; bigger than what you see in the sidebars; so huge that my time started getting screwed up in front of the computer, unread posts staring at me and floating around my head, and sometimes.. even MY blog gives me that dirty look "Do you even care that I exist? I need a new post, I need some more widgets!".

When the college re-opened, there was an obvious time clash due to the inertia of my vacation-habits to fade away. At some point I had to take a break from Bloggersville. But then, I was surprised by the amount of free time that popped out. I must be terribly drowned in blogging!
Well, I didn't mean to give you the misunderstanding that this is my last note on blogging. :D . If you ever make a quick try to trace the origins of this blog, you'll find out a drastic change in the tone and the topic of the posts. In that sense, this may be yet another change in perspective. It happens, with a yet unsettled mind! :)
I'm still a teenager, even though at the edge of the cliff! :d

Update:
This post is now published for the second time, being deleted once from this blog, partly related to an event going around through 2 other posts at ma friend's blog:
>> Why do People blog?
>> A reference too harsh

This post is edited,of course.. but not too much. Peace and fine. :)

Analogue or Digital?

Going to college after a long vacation has totally distracted my brain's timings. I almost fell on the desk sleeping by the second hour in the morning. And then I decided rest is more important. Thanks to my lovely college.. we can get out anytime, any hour.. no one stops you! And thus I bunked all the afternoon hours. :D

At the restaurant, me and my buddy Jo had an argument on this.

Jo : "C'mon, you don't have to bunk now! All the teachers for the afternoon session is present."
et : "Aww no man! I'm dead sleepy and I can't even think of fitting 3 more hours in the class!"

After 10 minutes:
Jo : "Why, it's just the second day! Stay here."
et : *silent*

After 5 more minutes:
Jo : "Come back with me after lunch. All right?"
et : *silent*

After 5 more minutes:
Jo : "et.. I think I'll come with you."
et : "Okies! Go back in a rush, take your bag, and come soon." *evil grin in mind*

Now that's my friend Jo. He says he's not an analogous person. He goes like a digital wave. That is, sudden rise and fall of choices!

Like this:

His response time is very close to zero. I don't remember another person with such an instantly changing graph of mind. :P

Most persons have a graph like the one below:

The slope of the graph widely differs though. The above one comes more close to my way of thinking. Slow, and steady! :D

So what kind of person are you - analogue or digital? Do you know any perfectly digital persons like Jo? :)

Some persons are at extremes as well. Below is my friend Dipi's idea of bunking class.

Again, there can be highly dynamic graphs at particular situations. For example, my sis is put into the trial of choosing her higher studies.
Her possible thoughts on any given college will be approximately as shown below:

Now plot YOUR graph! :O

Tailpiece:
Having a friend with you during long distance bus journeys has some unbeatable advantages. You can start sleeping the moment you enter the bus! He pays for your ticket, and he wakes you up at the next bus station. Anyhow, you should give him/her proper training not to interrupt your sleep asking this and that in between. As for me, I'm the most violent animal in the world when interrupted from sound sleep! That makes it sure that no pal of mine ventures to wake me up at the wrong time, in his second chance! GRRR!! :v
