thoughtless ramblings

having been bitten by the reality bug more than once, until recently, it still did not factor into a lot of my considerations. i blithely went about my life as usual and made plans as per normal. but life has its own way of bringing a person back down to earth.

now that things are the way they stand right now, i don't have many options left open to me. with this recent setback, i've wasted yet another year, thus putting me another year behind my peers. a heavy price to pay for arrogance, for it is paid with one of the things in life that cannot be bought by money.

time.

a year.

twelve months.

three hundred and sixty five days.

eight thousand and sixty hours.

five hundred and twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes.

thirty one million, five hundred and thirty six thousand seconds.

i'm morbid, i know. but i tend to do weird stuffs in the wee hours of the night anyway.

on a lighter note, i seem to be getting slightly better with Ninja Gaiden: Sigma. initially when i started, i totally sucked at it. even the most basic of enemies could trash me to ninja heaven and back. took me a while to realise the importance and boon of using ultimate techniques. i'm still getting the hang of it, but at least i do not get horribly raped by creeps anymore.
