The Opposite
*sigh* Meh. >.< O_o? Seriously? Anyways, … Right. I see. Heh. 
(items in the list were added as I typed the post)
Okay, that was the last time I used those phrases. This is it.
Like George in “The Opposite” episode in Seinfeld said -
My life is the complete opposite of everything I want it to be.
Every decision I have made in my entire life has been wrong!
And therein, as the Bard would tell us, lies the rub.
I have become a self-depreciating human being, cracking good jokes, being sarcastic, listening to old rock bands, getting into intellectual arguments (over matters of religion,country, politics, etc.) and hoping that everything will turn out okay.
But guess what? Nothing ever turns out Okay.
And these were all my choices. Nothing ever worked for me by listening to Pink Floyd and sarcasm. “Every instinct I have, in every part of life, be it something to wear, something to eat … It’s all been wrong.”
As Jerry said in “The Opposite”
“If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right.”
And so it is. From now on I’m completely ignoring every urge towards common sense and good judgment I’ve ever had.
So if you think Saturn is the cause of all hardships on the planet? Go ahead, do your rituals. I won’t try to convince you otherwise.
Are inter caste marriages allowed? Are honor killings okay? Whatever you say… I’m okay with you being okay with it.
Should we kill each other in name of religion? Whatever works out for you.
Not only that, nothing ever worked with sarcasm, now I’m trying the opposite – slapstick and dumb jokes.
And instead of being anti-social, I’ll add up some random person on facebook for a chat, will say hello to fellow people in the coffee shop, will call up some school friends to see how they are doing…
Will focus on studies for a change, instead of constantly trying to correct other people’s issues. Got to deal with my own first.
And you know what? Will purchase a new computer without thinking too much (Already spent a lot of though). Will stop using () (to explain things).
Will stop coming up with witty status messages. Will keep my room open. Will buy good shorts soon. Will listen to Pop, Trance and… Hip Hop. Will not use … excessively.
Instead of thinking about people’s lives from their photos on FB will start to think about my own.
Instead of NOT forwarding the motivational/joke messages, will forward to all possible.
Instead of sticking with the laptop like it is my soulmate, will use it only when required.
Instead of NOT answering questions, will start replying truthfully.
Instead of asking good questions, will shut up and try to resolve them myself.
Instead of writing everything in the blog post, will leave some unsaid.
Right, gotta do that now.
Anyways, will stop using anyways a lot. So, that is the plan. Lets see where this takes me.
“Onward and upward!”

Maybe. But being “right” never did any good. I have to give this a shot.

I am?
Well, even if it did some good. My life is nowhere near what I want it to be.

The answer to all problems is Serious Sam. All the pseudoemotional stuff will go away and be replaced by monster a-killin’!

So, you’ve got to continue being what you are. Or, shall I say, what you were?
