A Season for change

Those with a keen sense of observation would have, by now, observed that my profile to the right no longer reads Kearny, NJ as my current location. Those who are not blessed with such powers of observation...well..you have been informed. Haha.

Yup folks. I've packed my bags and moved down south in pursuit of those big, green bucks. Or was it the unconsicious need to just move on. I'm a firm believer that its important to actually physically get out of a place if you feel the need to make changes. Although, I can't think of any specific reason why I would need to move on from Jersey. I had adjusted quite well to the Jersey life. A case of conflicting emotions? Hahah. Not that crap again!

Its been over six weeks since I made this move and yet it only feels like yesterday I was walking towards the badminton courts for another fun, competitive session. Or making impromptu dinner and party plans with friends. And as much as I'm excited about being in Virginia and exploring everything it has to offer, a big part of me wishes that i'm back in Jersey. Oh well. Will just have to wait till the 4th of july weekend.

Meanwhile I've discovered Orcut. I knew what Orcut was all about, but I couldn't be assed to get one while many of my fellow friends perinnially raved about it and "scrapped" each other. Essentially you create your own unique profile. Or a profile as unique as your personality and then connect with your friends profiles and connect with their friends, and with their friends and then so on and so forth till you are, well, in theory atleast, connected with the whole world. WOW. Allow that grand concept to sink in.

A couple of weeks before my move to Va. I created my orcut profile and to my utter astonishment, I found a huge chunk of friends from Jersey and chennai, welcoming me to orcut. And since then, i've been hooked. And those who know me, know that I have this tendency of drifting off and staying out of touch when i'm not around. Orcut is awesome for inconsiderate people like me who just live in their own worlds and not bother informing anybody else. And those were not my words. haha. You know who you are!

And in the short period I have been in Virginia, its quite a decent place to be at. Especially this neck of the woods where I've set base is quite cool. Its proximity to DC is a great plus. DC is similar to NYc without the crowds and the dirty streets.

Soccer World cup is ON!

So its Orkut with a K. I'd like to thank yogster and the punkster for bringing that to my attention. Although the funny thing is, I always type in www.orcut.com and it never fails to take me to the homepage. Hmm so the real question would be, does it matter whether if its a K or a C, if ultimately the end result or output is going to be the same? Obviously I'm trying to derive a higher philosophical argument over a possible, yet for the time being, hypothetical scenario, which would be something along the lines of --- Would it make a difference if you chose different paths or different means, if the end result is going to be the same? -- and it's too late in the night for my mind to logically reason out an argument or counter-argument to an issue which well, frankly is not worth losing sleep over.

But boy, I've missed writing in my blog. I just can't seem to get my fingers to stop typing or seperate them from the keypad.
