So What?

"If you care, you just get disappointed all the time. If you dont care, nothing matters. So you're never upset."

Calvin is adorable!

"The best comics expose human nature and help us laugh at our own stupidity and hypocrisy. They indulge in exaggeration and absurdity, helping us to see the world with fresh eyes and reminding us how important it is to play and be silly. Comics depict the ordinary, mundane events of our lives and help us remember the importance of tiny moments."
Bill Watterson.

C&H happens to be one comic strip that can make me smile even on my worst days. I love Calvin! With his snow arts and his rides down the hill, his daydreams and his alter-egos, his Transmogrifier and his Duplicator, he has outclassed every fictional character that could have made it to the top of the list of my favorites. No one says it better than Calvin (other than Hobbes, of course) :

"I don't want to learn about winning and losing. Heck, I don't even want to compete! What's wrong with just having fun by yourself, huh?!"

"To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible."

"We all want meaningful lives. We look for meaning in everything we do. But suppose there is no meaning! Suppose life is fundamentally absurd. Suppose there's no reason or truth, or rightness in anything. What if nothing means anything? What if nothing really matters? Or suppose everything matters? Which would be worse? "

"That's the difference between me and the rest of the world. Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!"

Who has a blog?

I was having a discussion with myself as to whether I should create a blog or not. It's not like I have a lot of pent up emotions that needs to be released. There aren't any particular issues or topics I feel so passionate about that I just had to write. So why bother with a blog then? The basic reason for a blog is because I'm bored and it's something to do (which I guess is the reason for most blogs). There is another reason as well, maybe some people can relate. And I'm sure writing every once in a while can't hurt.

So finally, I've made a blog. Then I had another dilemma, what should it be about? Well like I said before, I don't have any issues that need hashing out or anything like that, so it can just be about my everyday life. Pretty original right? I'll try to be as positive as possible.

Now there are some downsides to this endeavor. My writing skills are nominal at best. That won't lead to a strong readership. Also, there aren't too many "interesting" details that I have to share. So that may be a problem. But whatever, I'm here!

P.S. Having a blog makes me laugh. Its been just one day and I already get a kick out of talking about it. I can't really explain why, it just makes me chuckle a little bit :D

Phew...am finally in! Another tribulation for lazy me! This is one of the many diaries I've begun but never got around to maintaining. Let's see how long this one survives :D
