Goodness Inc.

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
La la la la lalala... etc etc etc.


Its the Bear's birthday today, and I've taken it upon myself to thoroughly embarass him by making a blog post about it. Of course, if I were to link his blog, I think I'll be murdered (coz the Bear doesnt like attention), so I'll skip that and let him live comfortably in his little-known virtual abode.

You are not Atlas.
On your shoulders,
the world does not rest.
So put down those worries
shrug it off, just once,
and do what you do best.
Take your mind off work,
have some rip-roarin-fun.
And for this great gyaan
Just say, 'thanks a ton'.

---------------------------------------------------------

Okay, that was too much of nicities, even for me ;)
*goes and rinses mouth with acid*

Recently, I've been quite baffled by the names some bloggers choose to identify themselves. I mean, seriously, creativity and stupidity are seperated by 16 letters in the english dictionary. I wish I could shower you with examples, but being the politically correct person that I am *ahem*, I obviously cant rant about random blogs and bloggers here. Dont fancy getting sued. But I will however, present my special critique on some of my favourite bloggers' names... atleast on those that seem to have a good enough sense of humour to take criticism well.
The forked tongue shall be in action tomorrow ;)

Names also have a connotation with a group sometimes. So what may sound a joke to one's gang maybe inane for everyone.
Mine doesn't mean a thing though. even I can't remember the reason I chose it.

Anshul,
Rub it in!!!

Archster,
Yup, I know a bear. Infact, I christened him Bear myself ;)

Wishful,
Will pass on the wishes. And, ask him for a treat on your behalf too :D

Burf,
Dont be too happy... might just include you in the list tomorrow ;)

Jingu,
Defence mechanism eh? Making sure I cant pick on you tomorrow by giving us these explanations and making us feel guilty. Oh well, will exclude you from the wrath for sure :)

Casablanca,
First off, nice job with your blog. Stumbled into your space and enjoyed reading what I see.
Second, I want to leave a comment on several of your posts because I think you make valid points and I can relate to most issues you raise. So, again thanks for a good read! I will be back.

Pal! You can go ahead and rag me to bits. You can even do it publicly and I shall be a sport.
It's for the unnamed others whom you were referring to, I was trying to play the devil's advocate.
