The Fun that Wasn’t

So I thought that college is horrible and that holidays would be fun. If nothing else, I would be able to happily lie on my bed, read a couple of books, eat some junk, waste time on the computer and so on. And while I am doing all of that, it isn’t fun. Then I thought I should try and figure out why life isn’t fun. My conclusion is that it is because of a general lack of interest and passion. I made a post about how I couldn’t figure out what I should actually study because nothing excites me. Now I’ve realised that this is not limited only to my studies, but happens to my life in general. There is absolutely nothing in life that would make me go, “Oh fuck yes, this is fun!” or “Oh fuck yes, I wanna do this!”. There was a point in life where I couldn’t live without coming online, chatting, posting comments, reading posts and so on but now, days pass and I just keep lurking without really coming online, talking to people, reading and commenting. Quite frankly, I don’t know why this is happening and I really can’t figure a way out. It’s not like I don’t try. I do, but in the end, I always end up drawing a blank. It’s reached a point where I keep lying in front of the computer all day and end up not doing anything. I’m not talking about anything productive, I just don’t do anything at all.

Anyway, I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and it was disappointing. I mean, the fights, action and everything was great but still, it wasn’t a lot of fun. I made a list of some things which didn’t make the cut for me:-

• No feelings. This was my major issue with the movie. I’m not somebody who cares a lot about storylines, camera, editing and stuff but there should be basic emotions. I remember the time when they used to show Transformers Armada on Cartoon Network. We literally cried when Optimus Prime died. And we bloody celebrated with the Canteen’s Isspeshul Spicy Mirchiwala Manchurian when he resurrected. It felt great. But in this movie, Optimus died, resurrected and I didn’t feel a thing. And that’s lame because that is what I went to see the movie for. I’m a big Optimus fan.

• The numbers. Why are there always around 3 Decepticons for every Autobot? It almost always ends up with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee doing a Rajnikanth and a Sunny Deol respectively. I’m bored with seeing uneven battles and with seeing Optimus always kicking the enemy’s ass just because he’s the Prime. I mean, he almost got his ass kicked in trying to kill Megatron in the last movie and here he’s kicking Megatron and the Fallen’s ass rather easily. Quit with the heroics, really. We like Optimus because of his attitude and his leadership skills, not because of his brute, unreasonable and illogical strength.

• Identification. It’s quite easy to distinguish between the various Autobots. You can clearly tell who’s Optmius, who’s Bumblebee, who are the twins and so on. But what’s with the Decepticons? You can hardly tell the difference between Megatron, Starscream and the Fallen until they show them really close. And is it just me or does someone else also think that Mr. Fallen resembles Mr. Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean?

• Megan Fox. Megan Fox is the kind of chick who can save a dying movie simply by looking ridiculously hot. But I don’t think she was looking hot in this one. The really long eyelashes were stupid and I have a feeling she’s done something to her lips and has ended up resembling Angelina Jolie. Now I pretty much hate Angelina so you might have guessed why Megan Fox has made it to this list.

So yea, that pretty much does it for this post. I don’t think I should continue writing when there’s nothing to say. I’m just hoping that time will pass, things will work themselves out, some things that shouldn’t have happened will work themselves out too, and that something which will make this life exciting will happen. One should never stop hoping.
