The Universe is Indifferent

MAY 12 ENTRY:Blog. Tell us about your week. Include your favorite blog entry from your fellow challengers from the preceding week and, most importantly, why.


FYI this is a late review of Week 2. As one can judge from my last post, it hasn’t been the best week for me. Far from it in fact.

Let’s start with the good part. I watched two good movies this week, ‘Warhorse’ and ‘Inglorious Basterds’. I know, I know, as always I am the last person to watch the good movies, but I watched them, ok?

That was the end of the good part. Yes that was the highlight of my week, watching two fictional tales set in the distant past. So the bad part. I flunked a gignormous test (Post Grad), a test that could have opened like a million doors for me, and shut another two million. No prizes for guessing how pissed I was. All consolation offered by the people around me was basically ‘Try harder next time.” “Start preparing now” etc, et al. The usual BS people come up with. The usual BS they try on broken people. But this did come as a shock, even to me. All right, I concede my heart wasn’t completely in it but it wasn’t that difficult. That’s what sucks even more, I wasn’t even par. And then people lay all this sympathy shit on you, SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! IT DOESN’T HELP!

That was the rant for the week. This week has really been about venting my feelings. My coping mechanism is usually writing about it. But sometimes, like all writers, I ended up blank. This irritated me even more. I couldn’t even turn to my thing (or what used to my thing), what was I doing? To make the short of the long, I was stuck. So I switched off my phone, pulled the cord out of the landline and stayed mostly in my room for 4 days. Did it help? I don’t know quite yet, only time will tell. One thing it did do is calm me down a bit. Gosh!

Coming to my favorite entries for this week (yes I chose two again, hang me for not being decisive again!) were from Moody Blue: Needs an Upgrade "Invalid Entry"  and Fivesixer the champ of champs, "This one's about thinking, kinda." . First choice was because I love poetry, and Moody Blue: Needs an Upgrade ‘s approach is always different, nouveau and that is something I like a lot. The second choice was because the champ always leaves me in laughs and what was really special about this entry was that it was also personal.

I’ll bid adieu to this week with a song that I listened to a lot in this past week. Enjoy.
