Does it happen to you?

That you catch yourself humming a song which you despised when you heard it for the first time?

That you say you hate orkut and scrapping, but end up checking it 10-12 times a day?

That on a day when you wake up with the feeling that I'll do kickass work today, you sleep throughout the day?

That you delete bulk mails everyday on yahoo in spite of knowing that they don't add to your quota?

That you realise you've been blowing up too much money but spend much more that very day?

That you decide to give up your nocturnal habits but stay awake watching movies till 5 in the morning?

That you think you too should watch the FIFA WC, but don't feel interested enough to actually move your lazy ass out of your room?

That you dismiss Linkin Park songs as bloody loserish, but scream along when someone is playing Faint?

That you think you should try new music which is slightly lower on the decibel value and the only songs running in a loop on your playlist are by Metallica and Rammstein?

That you label so many blogs as undiluted crap but do nothing to prevent your own from being labeled as one by others?

That you demand a ban on all romantic/senti movies, but end up not only downloading movies like Casablanca, Shall we dance, Pretty Woman etc., but actually watching them?

That you decide to watch every ball of the last 2 days of India-WI test thinking that it's a win-win situation for India, only to be denied the chance by rain in St. Lucia?

That you predict Fed's win at Roland Garros and the dumbass loses yet again to Nadal?

That you tell yourself that you better do some work and then spend all the time reading Freakonomics?

That you sit down to write a post about something and after you're done, it turns out to be about something completely different?

*sniffs the air animatedly, trying to make a point*

you smell that? is that killing sarcasm with some .... deep-rooted philosophy and/or propaganda behind it, or just a case of pretty creative, but slightly-frustrated self-criticism? :P

PS : dont comment back 'what?' to this.

Well, it isnt self criticism, the post was totally spontaneous, just something I was wondering about.

As to whether there is some philosophy behind it, I haven't given a thought. If there is, then it'll be the topic for the next post.
