Levelling Up.

I woke up on this (unsurprisingly) chilly morning with a Sudden Clarity Clarence look on my face (something like this, except I wasn't high on life). I was surprised that I didn't wake up with a headache or any grogginess considering last night's events. I thought to myself, "What if we are all a part of a gigantic video game like the Sims or GTA, or any other game that has the option of displaying a character's statistics based on its "life" in the game. Like in the Sims, in which we can customize the characters by giving each one of them hobbies, personalities, unique abilities, etc., what if someone (umm... God?) did the same for us, humans." Each one of us reacts to a certain thing differently, based on our customization. Lets take alcohol as an example for the sake of the argument. After a night of heavy consumption, some of us wake up with a mind shattering, brain ripping, brain pounding headache which forces us to take necessary measures to combat the hangover, while others wake up normally and go about their daily routine. It all depends on the characteristics that are given to us from the ones available in a long drop down menu somewhere.

What if we are just characters in the game of life being played by the gods and we're just experiencing the game in the best way possible. What if life, the universe and everything is just a massive, multiple server, PvP game between the gods, with each God and His specialized ability controlling the various aspects of life, like wisdom (including sudden clarity moments), beauty, personality (based on experiences in life), death, etc.,. If that is the case, shouldn't we have our own stats bar on record somewhere, indicating our XP/HP in our various skills? This reminds of something I read on reddit some time ago about working out at the gym. I can't find the post and the comment right now though. Search on reddit is a pain in the gluteus maximus. From what I can recollect, a redditor said that working out is like levelling up. You gain all that muscle and power and like in a game, you level up in real life (there's an app to track your progress). I found that really cool and deep. What if there actually is a stats bar that fills up automatically based on our actions but the aliens stole it?

Some more food for thought - Mother's day and Father's day should be spent in celebrating the life of the first born and that mother's days and father's days should be on the birthdays of their children.
Not hungry? okay.

Revenge of the sixth.

Hi, again.
First of all thanks for clicking the link. I know you may racked your brains for the last time you saw a link to this blog and I know that you've forgotten that you've liked the blog's Facebook page. It receded into the list of the millions of Facebook pages that you once liked and didn't give a damn about the second after the "Like" turned to "Liked".You aren't the only one. I've never once visited the blog's Facebook page or this website. Okay, I lied. I visited this webpage once... OKAY FINE, MULTIPLE TIMES JUST TO GIVE THE PAGE HITS! I was honestly surprised to see the page views cross 10,000. I even had a mini party in my head for it.

An update on me. Contrary to popular belief, I'm alive. I'm approximately 11384 km (7074 miles, for my fellow Americans). I have survived a year of college in America, oops, pardon me, 'MURICA! THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Other than the winter, which lasted for an insanely long time, I seem to like it here, so far. The winter is ridiculous here. I could rant on and on about the sub zero temperatures and how stupid and confusing the Farhenheit scale is compared to the Celsius scale, which I've used my entire life, but it is not this day. Today is a nice day. The birds are chirping about their freedom, the sun is shining with it's rays of freedom, the leaves are rustling about in the wind speaking of their freedom, there's freedom everywhere. Typical 'Murican Day. I shall post about my experiences in college and time here, in the US, in the later posts.

I see that my last post speaks of Manchester United's major screw up last year. Ha, perfect timing for this post then. Number 20 on the way! Haven't been able to keep track of the IPL as closely as I would have liked to. My IPL fantasy team is screwed over because all the players I choose secretly have a meeting and decide not to play well in that particular match.

Here's to more rants and complaints about my life at that point in time, no more clicking of the Forgot Password? button on blogger.com and no more rubbing your eyes and pinching yourself and doubting whether the link to this blog is a spam which would take you to webpage asking you to shoot the rubber duck or download a silent ringtone. I'm hungry now, WHERE THE HELL IS MY EXTRA LARGE, DEEP FRIED, QUARTER POUND FREEDOM BURGER?!


Hmm....DaedalusMinion here. I am making an entry here to remind Akshith I exist too. Fuck yeah India.
