I'm bored

It's been a long time since I have written anything on the blog!!! Yeah, Yeah... thats a cliche!! But you know what.. I'm gonna go all out. I'm not going to care about cliches anymore. I'm not going to care about bounaries any more. Who is going to read my blog anyway! (I hope only absolute strangers read this ... Don't want to make enemies out of friends!!) But then... those boundaries are so strong. Don't want to rub anyone the wrong way. Hell, haven't rubbed anyone the right way either (Who is the cunning linguist now, Mr.Bond!)
For the "artistically" obsessed with Bond movies, the pun in my previous utterances is profundly clear. And punny, may be. If you actually realise that, well, thats exactly the kind of thing that you will not associate with a nice, decent guy like, ahem.... me. You know, sometimes these boundaries can be so stifling. There is always this image to live up to. There are always people whose expectations will always try to define what we are. People comprised of family. Friends. Acquaintances. Colleagues. How I wish I could say "You dont know what I am capable of!"
But one of the contradictions with living upto expectations is that, over time, we (I don't want to generalize to everybody, but feel free to substitute "You" for "we" where ever. You are not gonna read this anyway...) where were we... Oh yes... we, tend to define ourselves as an image borne out of these expectations. And every once in a while, we wish to dash those expectations, do something so unlike us (unlike the expectations of us), do something rash. Of course, there are boundaries to that too. We don't want to be narcissistic sociopaths just to be rash and different, do we!! Just have some mostly harmless fun.
