You're at the center of the universe.

This is perhaps my last post........
of the year 2008.

The year is coming to an end. 29, 30, 31, happy new year. I heard on radio there will be a leap second as we are a second faster than the rotation of the universe. So it will happen in a case where "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 1" will be counted in this manner. As bizarre as that can be, it was also quite a bizarre and awesome year, I suppose. Lyrics were being altered to suit somebody's mood as a form of expression on the outer surface, that was rad. Kids were moshing and body-surfing nonsensically to genres which defines "Electronica", that was pure stupidity. A beer keg was being brought home from the backstage area, that was purely a smart-ass move. A transvestite put on lipstick and yet facial hair can be seen on "her" face, that was purely WTF. A human who plans for her/his own birthday party, from start till finish, that was purely innovative and shocking. Two ninjas being seen walking away from functions in broad daylight, that was a pure I-couldn't-give-a-shit-of-what-you-think statement. Those were the happy days, better days and greatest days.

And then,

came the recession.

But there's no other recession like this recession. People are still flocking store after store, mall after mall, shop after shop. It is like global warming. People talk about the need to recycle and save trees. Yet, it's all bullshit. Now, people talk about the possible return of the Great Depression and the need to save and scrimp. Yet, they continue to spend and spend like there's no tomorrow. People are worrying about their futures and their balls are dropping.

But still,

the dewgongs and fishes are living happily under the oceans. Oceans will part someday, they do not know that. Oceans will tremble in the near future, they do not fear that as they don't know that. This is the art of living fearsomely, in a ignorant manner. But as far as the sardines are concerned, canned food are being produced like never before. Sardines are counted as fishes, but fishes see sardines as baits. They bite, they swallow, they get hook. As the hook pierce through its mouths, chickens and pigs flocked around to see what their underwater counterparts can do to survive the ordeal. The fishes hate the solid ground based creatures. They thought they are different from them. But the chickens and pigs bear no grudges against them. Little do they know that the fishes are being outcasted by the rest of the underwater creatures who deemed themselves as the art of "masterclass perfection". The crabs, octopussies, lobsters, sharks, and even the non-living seaweeds despise the fishes for being too cheap. They pride themselves as the lavish and extravagant bunch of creatures due to their high values. They boast about everything, from their qualities to their virginities but little do they know, a sponge will dominate them all someday. A clueless and humble sponge.

What comes next? Maybe tomorrow, you'll find your way home. That's what comes next.

If your life is a story, anything can be a story. It's the art of placing them together, and that's why the earth rotates in circles. Things come in forms of cycles but there's one thing on earth (I mean, earth, physically) that never changes:
