Shades of Gray

Was an extremely boring day. Extremely!!! Let me just put down a few lines that hit me early in the morning today.

You see the stars, I see the light of day,
both on course, in our own silly way,
I see it black, its white you say,
maybe its neither, but just shades of gray


Writing everyday, no matter what, has actually improved my thought process I think. I feel as if a little of my old self is coming back :) Next assignment is to restart painting.

I think I can extend upon the above 4 lines, but just don't feel like thinking right now.

Now here's an observation that I have recently made. Well actually I have cribbed about it earlier too but my dear friends are a useless lot and have conveniently ignored my pleas. I haven't seen this habit in guys, its mostly girls who are this psychotic. A lot of guys are not good with dates. There are exceptions and I know a few of them (bloody pain in the ass) but generally we tend to forget. It's a big issue for me. I forget dates and at times even names. I could be introducing someone without the slightest idea of what his/her name is. I would be, "... and this is... this is.... ummm... this is....". By the third "this is", the person mostly introduces himself/herself after giving me a you-stupid-ass look. :P

A few of my friends purposely remove their date of births from all the community sites so that they can
1. Crib if someone forgets (Me and I am sure there are more)
2. Threaten with all the girly manipulative ways
3. Gain sadistic pleasure out of my misery

Man! I mean is it so important to remember the dates? Is it? Well maybe it is but come on! Well I know I am just shouting it out and hitting my head on the wall but it's seriously painful. I guess I probably need to store the following details :
1. Date of Birth
2. Anniversary (Since a lot of them are getting married now)
3. Spouse's Name (I am so glad that a few friends understand that it is not always possible to remember the spouse's name)
4. Kid's names (once they start having them)

I think I should start practicing this asap.

  1. Hehe, I am one of those noble exceptions to the male species who remember dates. Not only dates, but time, temperature, people present, latitude, longitude etc of the event. :)

    I would suggest you use the contacts feature of Outlook/Evolution/Firebird/Gmail for store all these details such as bday, anniversary, spouse etc. It allows you to all these details. On the day of the event, a reminder pops up. You can even sync this to your mobile phone, so that u get a reminder 15 mins in advance.

  2. Ya, am planning to do something like that. I think the best place to save it is on my mobile. That's one thing which is mostly with me.
