As realization of the same dawned on me, "electric" impulses across the synapses of my semi-redundant neuron mass  forged yet an another memory. As the recoil passed and as I went over my life, I realise that at least a fourth of my life has passed and I've made about as much use of my mind as the venerable Stephen Hawking has of his body. No I am not having a wannabe "tweenage" crisis. It's just the pain after life kicks you in the nuts with a blackjack called realisation. Realisation that all for all that posturing and all the pseudo "acclaim" you're just a below average being. That you've let all that potential everyone had predicted degenerate. That if all your "memoirs"&lt;/span&gt;  were published  you probably would get as much critical acclaim as a Mill &amp; Boon and there would probable be less sex and romance as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the two halves of my "brain" argue their case, their dedication to the cause - in this case my endevour to continually strive for a higher intellectual platform, to enjoy memories of "colorful" past, I see that they have fallen woefully short of my expectations. "Ah!",the left side goes,"But you have achieved a higher intellectual platform - IN YOUR IMAGINATION!" and then with a smirk goes, "and never have I seen such vividly "colorful" dreams".  Yeesh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So. Do you this this realisation that I have fallen short of my own expectation from myself, from life and the Universe will help shock me from my stupor? What are the odds that I will wake up tomorrow, refreshed, from another episodic dream where I win yet another Nobel prize, spend a Gazallion Dollars (U.S.D) and save earth as we know if from a natural calamity and/or killer Aliens??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When will it be time for me to come to that point where I either shit or get off the pot? When I come to that cross roads in life where each road leads to a quest, a quest with no ending in sight, full of perils and pothols,a road with peaks and valleys, I hope  this time around I pick one. Just for the ride. Just for the memories. Maybe realise my potential. Whatever that maybe.All I hope is that when I come to them cross roads, I don't just fall asleep and sleepwalk my way through life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This whole thing make any sense to you? Yeah. Me neither. I'm going back to bed. See you on the flip side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35081367-116052752920750726?l=endmybourgeoisexistence.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://endmybourgeoisexistence.blogspot.com/feeds/116052752920750726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35081367&amp;postID=116052752920750726' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35081367/posts/default/116052752920750726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35081367/posts/default/116052752920750726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://endmybourgeoisexistence.blogspot.com/2006/10/as-i-watch-life-flash-by.html' title='As I watch Life flash by'/><author><name>Ritwik</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02172203800134073288</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35081367.post-115932171770838036</id><published>2006-09-26T18:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-26T18:48:37.716-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pulp Function</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Welkommen fellow  drones. I like you ( whether you choose to accept or not) am another mindless-consumer driven-trying to keep my head above the water-tryin to keep from slashing my wrists at every disapointment- child of t.v. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt; I am like you, sired from that unholy matrimony between T.V and fried food with cheese. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt; I blog not to help you identify with another fallen member of humanity nor to help you come off feeling better that there really is a worst case scenario.Perhaps I am one of those people who mean to writing something profound and meaningful and end up writing utter nonsense. Frankly I don't care.  I hope that this experiment shall reveal to me that fleeting moment, that evanescing feeling, that idea that starts to take shape before it ends up a puddle of muddled thoughts.&lt;br /&gt; I start again, a pessimist- wary of failure to end my "blog" on an optimistic note.&lt;br /&gt;Such is me.
