Stats Don't Lie

No, Prometheus ain't seeing Shakira (though that wouldn't be such a bad thing). Proof of the fact, dear readers, that Content is King, lies in those nifty little things called stat counters.

The blog of Prometheus was an ornery place till it hit big time when he relocated to Here. Then he kept shuttling between Here and There. Now, he was born and raised There but he also loves it Here. One major difference betwixt Here and There is that Here gives him ample time to blog since there is no work. So, here, Prometheus is blogistically happier than there. Sadly, no work also means the only green stuff he gets is the moss that grows on his ears.

There, on the other appendage, Prometheus has to work his posterior off thereby resulting in blabsence (defined as absence from blogging). Further, the rather mundane and sapping work blinds him to all things bloggable, thereby resulting in blogstipation (as if he would've had time to blog even if he had something bloggable).

Statistical evidence of the theory above is furnished herewith:

Moral of the picture: Content is King. And this blog, if it has to stay alive, must provide exactly that; failing which, all Prometheus' friends (and his horses and other ornery critturs) can't put the blog together again.

He is now artistically torn and origamically folded into The Thing That He Wants To Do and The Thing That He Ought To Do. The stakes are heavily loaded in favor of the latter, unless someone comes up with a great 'Get Paid Obscene Amounts for Blogging' scheme.

The soundtrack for today is Bob Marley's 'No Woman No Cry'.


Why? Because Prometheus wants to:
  • Tell Shakira that he can put her music on this blog if she goes out with him (not that he went out with Bob). And

  • Get nostalgic to
    'Said - said - said: I remember when we used to sit
    In the government yard in trenchtown,
    Oba - obaserving the ypocrites
    As they would mingle with the good people we meet.
    Good friends we have, oh, good friends weve lost
    Along the way.
    In this great future, you cant forget your past;
    So dry your tears, I seh.

    No, woman, no cry;
    No, woman, no cry.
    ere, little darlin, dont shed no tears:
    No, woman, no cry.

    Said - said - said: I remember when-a we used to sit
    In the government yard in trenchtown.
    And then georgie would make the fire lights,
    As it was logwood burnin through the nights.
    Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
    Of which Ill share with you;
    My feet is my only carriage,
    So Ive got to push on through.
    But while Im gone, I mean:
    Everythings gonna be all right!
    Everythings gonna be all right!
    Everythings gonna be all right!
    Everythings gonna be all right!
    I said, everythings gonna be all right-a!
    Everythings gonna be all right!
    Everythings gonna be all right, now!
    Everythings gonna be all right!

    So, woman, no cry;


Poingnant, eh?

Here We Go Again

Regular readers (as opposed to decaf readers) were warned earlier that fate has quite a few 'will this be the end of our hero' moments lined up for Prometheus. Life loves to play chicken with Prometheus. And though Prometheus is the uncrowned king when it comes to playing chicken with buses and trains, Life - The Universe - And Everything Else is always in the blue corner, the unbeaten, defending champion.

Prometheus had relocated to the sandbox, Dubai sometime early last year. He felt great about a new mission but pained at being uprooted from Mumbai (Bombay to the Americanians). Recently, he put a trip back home and saw both lands in a different perspective. Just as he was to begin his love affair with the UAE, he has been uprooted again. Back to Mumbai (Bombay to Americanians) he must go. And somehow, Mumbai (Bombay to Americanians) is not very conducive to blogging, with reference to Prometheus.

Will this be the death of The Moving (Middle) Finger? Not if Prometheus has anything to do with it. An arthroscopy (wikipedal* it) may be in order, followed by a hiatus. But death? We hope not.

Having dramatized another absence from blogging, Prometheus must now return to moping about traveling cattle-class and yes, that infernal activity called 'packing'. And of course, he brays and pelieves ** that his friends will not give up on him, though his stat counter tells him otherwise.

See ya around, folks.

Homeward

Weesa going home.. Yes folks, Prometheus is going home. To Mumbai, the Urbs Prima in Indis. Nay, this is no vacation nor a break. He's got [Don Corleone accent]unfinished business to attend to[/Don Corleone accent]. He should be back to playing Lawrence of Arabia by mid January.

There may be an absence from blogging again. No, Mumbai has no dearth of bandwidth. Prometheus might not have the time to blog. He has much to do in a little time. But a homecoming it is. He will meet his mommy after a long time. And his friends.

He takes your leave. He leaves you with wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And this lovely and apt number:


This just in: Dontcha forget this -



Till then, Stay Wonderful *
