When there is a whole sort of general mish mash...

There are two important things in life. I can't quite recall what they are but they most certainly are two in number. But that is besides the point. There is no point. I never indulge in the frivolous exercise of making points. What's the point in that? Even this God person created the universe pretty pointlessly. Some of us believe in God. Some of us don't. To each their own. I believe there is a God. I just don't believe in Her (yes, God is a woman).
As I sit somewhere along the equator where summer and winter have as much meaning as lilac and violet have for a heterosexual male, I ponder over the miracle of life, the futility of death, and the sheer ecstasy of adultery. 'Adultery' is not the same as 'adulteration' the same way 'women's suffrage' is not the same as 'women's suffering'. It is funny (and excruciatingly annoying at the same time) how many people get words all mixed up. This is probably why capital punishment is still a reality. Bad vocabulary is reason enough to be executed. That, and making a personal diary out of a blog.
My disregard for those whose blogs are nothing better than a journal is public knowledge. I am not interested in some woman's sordid love life, choice of dildo, or leather fetishes when in all probability it is a man masking behind the anonymous wall of the internet making those entries. Don't ask me how I know this. I just do. You would feel the same way about divulging your sources of information if you had been there on that dark and stormy night. And since I am not a dog named Snoopy, my dark and stormy night stories don't necessarily have happy endings.
Time for some reflection. At least as much reflection as this space can possibly permit. The previous year has been a weird one. I got married. The frequency of my blog posts went up. And Aran refused to guest edit Cosmopolitan. Well, she would have refused had she been offered but you get the point without my ever having to make it. Does it mean that the best points are the ones that are never made? Perhaps...

you're quite right about one thing at least - the sheer pointlessness of it all

Ah, Cosmo. Hmmm.
So, adultery? Are you being tempted then? Or already committed? Come on...the juicy details! You don't care about blogs that are personal diaries; I do! Especially when it's your personal diary. The nosiness will not die.
ps: I think I have you to thank for giving me 'The Man Who Sold the World'.

chandrababu naidu, with a nick like that you have the gall to call this post pointless. That is either brave or foolish.
Aran, I might blog about my sex life someday. Today is not that day.
PS: The pleasure is all mine.

chandrababu naidu, I have not had a man ask me this before. I am still formulating an official stand on this.
prince of ayodhya, that totally cracked me up! Such humour is priceless.
