We're in day 2 of "How long does it take for Prashant to notice that this blog has been reactived?"

Of course, I will be lenient with him: my colleague is in the midst of preparation for the most important test of his life. No, nothing health related (me thinks he be too young for a prostate probe), I trust his body is performing at optimum levels. Rather, he is currently studying for the Graduate Record Examination.

However, let's leave him to his devices, vocab lists, math equations and writing modules, as I'm sure he's revelling in his brief return to academia.

Instead, let's turn our attention to more important issues. Not the election (neither of us will vote on Tuesday, and despite our strong political beliefs, I really can't be fucked to add anymore anaylsis, commentary to it anymore - What Happense Will Happen.) Not anything from my personal life, cause quite honestly, its boring. And who really wants to read about what I had for dinner or breakfast, or who's my latest infatuation etc. etc. etc.

Actually, let's look at the whole culture of nosiness.... from reality TV shows, to personal blogs, to websites peddling up-skirt photo wares, voyeurism is running strong in our society. I will admit, I am voyeuristic. Sitting at some cafe in a crowded city, I enjoy watching people. People moving from point A to point B, people yakking endlessly to some mysterious party on their latest cellular device, people picking their noses, scratching their asses, adjusting
undergarments, people just being people.

People being themselves....now there's a novel concept.

Wow.

Look at that date... Saturday, August 21 2004. That's 69 days.... a lot can happen in that time. Unfortunately that's not what happened here, at least in my case. I'm just plain lazy. No way about it.

However, even I'm disgusted at the lack of literary output being ascribed on this here blog. It is a shame in particular, since I write everyday in my professional life. I work in words, crafting them into the sentences, that tell my story. But as conceited an ass I am, I have come to realize that as a result of writing constantly, day after day, I haven't been reading as much.

But enough about my sorry life, let's perk things up a bit and talk about politics. Bush or Kerry? It is quite amazing to see a country practically split right up the middle. All this talk about swing states and the Electoral college, thrilling stuff. ... Runs shivers down my spine...seriously though, this year will prove to be monumental I'm sure. History will look back at 2004 and marvel (or bemoan) the spectacle that was our annum.

If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see how the world is on November 3. We've already survived one apocalypse, but can we do two?

As a sign off, let's see how long it takes before Prashant realizes that I've started writing the blog again?

I say 9 days.
