He found it.
The One Ring.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.


Well, how in God's good name could Chotu hav known?
I mean, he's a friggin dhobi for godssakes! (no offense to any dhobis who're reading this...
but i jes presume y'all dhobis havent read or watched LOTR...hopefully, a safe presumption...) :-s

Twas a day jus like ne other. A wednesday. Day to leave me clothes out. For him to pick em up and promise to deliver em by saturday next. Since time immemorial, this is how things worked. (time immemorial...or since i started to give my clothes to chotu :p )... There he was...the smilin git...and he was like...yo wassup! Uh wait...that was one of me moronic frends.. :p .. oh wait! THERE he was...sayin 'aur kapde hai kya bhaiyya?' And i'm like...ya...its been what now? 4 months since i got this Levi's washed? Looks like its just abt time to get it a lil clean.. :-" (hope mom's not reading this :-s)

Ya...so...i gave him the clothes. And he walked away.

And that was when the rumors started. That strange things were afoot. That the One Ring had been stolen. By Chotu. :|

First off, I shouldn't have left the damm Ring lying about my room. I mean...i'm damm careless when it comes to such things. For godssakes, Gandalf'd said..no no..according to LOTR,
"He paused, and then said slowly in a deep voice: ' This is the Master-ring, the One Ring to rule them all...He greatly desires it - but he must not get it."

And wtf! Gandalf was talking about Chotu??? I thot he was talking abt Sauron...bloody idiot...@(#*)#@ Always wrapped up in his own lil world...always talking in verse...i'm thinkin he's been havin too much mead...watever....

Ya, so...of COURSE i dint believe the rumors. I mean, the One Ring! To the uninitiated...it be EVIL people! EVIL! and it make you invisible! And Chotu, to the uninitiated...is this really nice, smiling git. (ya, if you've paid attention, some of me moronic frends also answer to this description. weird world i live in.)

I dont kno how he did it. But he slipped it past me. And the Ring called out to him with all its power. He KNEW he ought not to wear it. But he did. It just willed itself onto his finger.

And that's it. The end of the story.

Glad y'all read so far. :-"

syko.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Epilogue

Ya. Ok..so you can gess wat happened next. Chotu turned invisible. I mean...REALLY invisible! It's been about a month since i've seen him...and he's AWOL...WITH my clothes...AND my unwashed Levi's! YEEEAAGH! :-L
And people say they can still hear him call out "aur kapde hai kya bhaiyya?"... brrr... and i sometimes feel like i can still see the smile on the git's face...or mebbe i'm just confusin him with my frends. watevah.

clothes_less,
one_pair_of_Levi's_less,
syko.

This is about me. And YOU. And EVERYONE on this site.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm one of those irritating people who like to point out the painful things in life...who like to stand up and say 'wtf' when every around wants to say it...but aint...Maybe not. Maybe its just the anonymity that's making me incorrigible :D Heck...watever it is, who cares? Coz here we go trashin this blog world again :D

-------------------------------------

So my frends blog. A lot of em. A lot. I mean, a LOT of blogging...AND a LOT of bloggers...well...watevah...so they do. And a LOT of my siblings do. A lot. Same shit here too. :p So methinks wad_they_all_blog_about ya? They be finding so many things to write about!

And the more i think about it, the more i think there ought to be blog awards and shit...i'm like, shouldn't sum1 be handing out prizes and stuff to all 'em regular bloggers??? I mean,check THIS comment out from a master blogger called Dave Linabury (excerpt from wired.com)

"Linabury...has created a site that keeps a log of dead weblogs -- it's called Fucked Weblog, ...and he thinks that people don't realize how hard it is to do good blog.

"It really can take a lot of time," he said. "I spend two hours a day on my weblog. Many people don't realize this, they think it's a quick way to get popular. And after awhile they get really discouraged and say, 'he got 2,300 hits today, I got four.' The bulk of people out there get less than two dozen hits."

So, according to this d00d...regular bloggers spend 40% of their free hours in the day on their blogs...Holy Cow. :| Well, that's awrite...a man shud hav his pastime n all (so shud a woman. usage of the word 'man' here is only for convenience in typing. uh. )...but then...heck, if it's so much effort, i say ppl should get rewarded for it...and i dont mean just in Hits...

Well, now that i've stretched MY two lines into two HUNDRED (as i'm wont to :P)... i present, without further ado...tan-tara!

THE ANTI-BLOGGIES.

No. That doesnt read 'Aunty Bloggies'. That would be weird. And wouldn't generally be allowed on fullhyd. I think.  [ rolleyes BIG time here] What IS it? It's the answer to my prayers. And some others' too i'm guessing. Let's see now. In Wired.com's words...

"Dave Linabury and Leia Scofield, two bloggers themselves, unveiled the ... annual Anti-Bloggies. These awards roast bloggers for being boring or lame or obsessed or weird."

In the creators' words? This is what they say...in fine print at the bottom of every page...

"FINE PRINT: The Anti-Bloggies are basically another B.S. awards ceremony. Getting one won

Do not talk about Fight Club.

The Second rule of Fight Club is ... do NOT talk about Fight Club.

OK. I'm abt to break the first two rules :D

=======================================================

For those of you who havent seen Fight Club... i'm gonna take a moment here to stand silent and wonder why you aint RUSHIN_OUT_TO_GET_A_VCD! For the rest, well...read on.

Fight Club like really blew me mind. Friggin Hell. Awesome. Hyper Hip. Scary. Torn. Psyched out. All of that. And a LOT more.

But
then, you know how all of a sudden you find something out about something and that something all of a sudden makes a whole lot of sense? Like that something needed a key...to help you find and figure out all the hidden easter eggs? Uh. I think i've found ONE of many possible keys to this something here. :D

Well ok...cutting to the chase here. So here I was researching some stuff for my term project...which has something to do with understanding ze psyche of Calvin & Hobbes and Bill Watterson(i kno...sounds great...but dont try this at home :p)...So well, i'm researching...or shall we say 'searching'... and i land this amazing catch...

the title goes...

"Fight Club - The Return of Hobbes" at Metaphilm.com

An excerpt...

"Picture this: a hyper, self-absorbed child initially concocts an imaginary friend as the ideal playmate, to whom more realistic qualities soon become attributed. This phantasm becomes a completely separate personality, with his own likes, dislikes, and temperament

I'm looking for 'positioning' here. Yes me mates.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So me friend and I, out here in the boondocks, are talking abt fullhydblogs.

First off, we ARE in the boondocks...sumwhere in east india :p So anything to do with HYD gets a bit of premium airtime :p I mean, I had this msg incoming on yahoo yesterday -
V: There's a Smokin Joe's in Hyd now!!!
V: HYD ROCKS!!! :D

Ok. We ARE sad :D But hey, we're stuck in the middle of nowhere out here. And in the face of constant inputs from ppls across India, touting their own cities to be the most awesomely humongously bodacious things on planet earth (Ex: Bangalore SO rocks! Aaaaaah! The bars! The eateries! The people! The weather! The dogs! The cattle! droool! @*#&@*(#...well, you get the point :p ), we do treasure any info abt Hyd that makes us go 'nicey'. :p We NEED reinforcement here, things that tell us we rock too. Sad, but true.

Second off, both of us are reelly pleasantly surprised with fullhydblogs. I mean, we had NO clue our very own hyderabad peoples were writin this awesomely and all. Ok, now that all the regular bloggers out here are feelin good abt themselves, time to move on to what i want to say.

I've trawled the blogs. And I've trawled. And I've read. And I've formed my opinions.

This place is very different from blogspot.com In terms of the kind of blogs that go up here. The content is pretty personal. People writing about things that go on in their heads and all dat. That's cool. Also,this place seems SO much like a story-writing competition. A high school essay contest perhaps. Not in terms of the quality of writing. But in terms of the intent. The writing here seems to me to be exhibitionistic. (I REELLY am not talkin of the psychiatrical definition here. Aran please note :D). Not that that's such a bad thing; after all, all blogs start out that way. Self conscious prose. No, that's not the point of this post.

The point is...the blog posts here seem to tend towards one of two extremes. Humor or depression. I love em all. Read em all. But that seems to be my analysis. One or both of these sentiments seem to flow out of each blog. So what is MY problem?

My problem is ... as a newcomer to fullhydblogs, where do I pitch myself? Which camp do i join? Or do I stand apart from all this?

From a purely strategic perspective, and from viewing this place as an exhibitionistic contest, I come to the conclusion that I'm REALLY long drawn. :D No, that's not it. I've come to the conclusion that I oughta 'position' myself (As Trout and Ries would have it)... on a different axis. Give the readers something different to read. Something that's not so personal.

I shall position myself as a serious blogger. The one that seems to think he can analyze situations and bring some insight into evryday deals. And THIS post has been the first such onslaught on fullhyd from me :D

*Phew, I'm done for the day.

=======================================================================

In Summary

So lets see. I dont have humor on the blog. That cancels some 95% of repeat visits. I dont have depression and related content. That cancels the 4.256% of ppl here who WANNA read things like dat. THat leaves me with 0. uh...dammit... ya...that leaves me with 0.744% of fullhyd population :D Phooey. So basically, if my page counter EVER hits 400, dats coz I've refreshed my page a 100 times. :D

On dat thot, signing off.
syko. 


Disclaimer: I'm much given to shifting perspectives. So dont hold me up to anything I mite have written above :p
