English - Who needs that? I'm never going to England! Or am I?

I am writin (note that there is no 'g' at the end, so that makes me "Cool, hip 'n' happening") this post not because I want to, but 'cause I have to! My online blogent suggested that I am losing readership cause of my sad and rarely updated posts. In case you are looking up 'blogent' in the dictionary, I suggest you don't, I just made it up. I'll explain.

You see, I was clicking on the top 'navigation-bar' to go to random blogs so that I can read new stuff and figure out whether I would be caught if I copied some posts directly and spend time on the internet in a constructive manner, most of the blogs that I came across had fonts not found on my computer and I never "Install additional fonts", and those which I could actually read had so many unfamiliar words. I was pretty bored with nothing to do and so I copied the entire texts onto word to find synonyms of god-knows-what-they-mean words. I noticed one thing, none had the red underlining, meaning not one spelling mistake. So I concluded that all the bloggers first write in word, use thesaurus as they please, then copy paste it to their blog. I then realized that blogger gives a free spell check utility, so sweet of them. Anyway, needless to say that half an hour wasted. But that's ok, we have 48 half hours daily.

Remembering this site I saw with this irc conversation regarding time, spending another 1/48 ^th of a day finding it…read on.

<zillion> Dammit. there needs to be more hours in a day. I was thinking.. And it seems to me, that it's possible to make more hours in a day

<zillion> slow down the earths rotational period by making an array of HUGE weights, on elevator like objects, around the entire world, and raising them & lowering them as we see fit.

<zillion> kinda stupid idea.. but it might work.

* RideR slaps zillion silly

<zillion> no really! stand on something that spins. Hold weights in your hands, and start spinning. As you spin, bring your hands into your chest, and see what happens.

<mrdata--> you spin faster

<zillion> You spin almost 2x faster.. seriously.. i might be onto something here.

<mrdata--> I think the figure skaters figured this out already

<RideR> zillion, yeah but do you realize how much rotational inertia the earth has...

<zillion> yeah. but none of them figured out how to make the earth spin faster, now, did they? :>

<RideR> zillion, that would just control how much light we received a day, you would still have to sleep ya know

<zillion> hehe.. then drop the bastiches ;)

<zillion> rider: yes, only an average of 8 hours.

<zillion> we could have longer work days.

<zillion> and add a day to our weeks.

<zillion> have shorter years.

<zillion> age slower

<zillion> longer days = longer nights.

<zillion> but a down side... if we slow earth's rotation down too much, we'd spiral closer into the sun.

<mrdata--> zillion: don't do it! :)

<zillion> I want to talk to someone about implementing such an idea.

<mrdata--> hehe

<zillion> laugh at me will you?! I'll throw this planet into the sun!

<mrdata--> if you do it.. make an X screensaver out of the model ;)

<zillion> hahaha

<zillion> rule.

<zillion> oh man. If I time it right, we could make it so earth colides with venus. then a third planet would probably be formed from the debris.

<zillion> and evolution would have to start all over. but wouldn't have enough time (only ~4.5 million yrs) until the sun becomes a red giant.

<zillion> and we'd all die. earth would be no more.

<zillion> whoa.. I just made a diabolical plan, worthy of any James bond movie! ;)

<zillion> you know! if we time it right, we could swing earth down past Venus.. like, 1 or 2 days before intersection, and slow it down enough, so we could have 2 planets collide with the sun!.. or not. :o

Being one among the smarter (if not the smartest) people on blogspot, I figured it was up to me to come up with new, improved words suitable (or not) for the English language. This is when I came up with blogent.

Blogent – noun

1. A person who acts on behalf of bloggers.

2. A person who manages business, financial or contractual matters for a blogger

3. A person who takes active participation in spreading the word around relating blog stuff.

Plural – Doesn't exist, 'cause no blogger can be represented by more than one blogent.

There you go, my first word!

Deviating a little off topic, did you hear Rita Coolidge's version of words? I am listening to it right now. Did you hear that the lyrics for that song came from her grandmother's uncle's gardener, (uncle as in father's brother and not any elderly unknown person as we use it in India)… it was passed on from generations in the family, then Rita's mom's cook was humming this tune, that's how Rita got the song, she had a lyrics (given to her on her 18 ^th birthday) and a tune. You haven't heard this? Well neither have I, so I guess it's not true.

Also my blogent suggested that I have a more personalized blog, using a personalized menu/template. After hours ( exactly 14min ) of searching, I downloaded a few templates and spent the better half of my day ( that is evening, I like it better than morning, its too bright in the morning ) trying to fix it up. Only succeeded to accomplish it on my Photo-Blog, the tables somehow are allergic to my posts here. Then I spent the remaining part of the evening watching TV.

Cable TV rocks, I have so many channels, few Japanese ( maybe Chinese I don't know ), I don't generally watch channels out of my comfort zone ( BBC,CNN,STAR World, ZEE Café, Travel n[notice the 'cool'ness] living, discovery, history, sports etc ) but sometimes when the net is down, I switch to Japanese (maybe Chinese I don't know ) just to get away from it all.

Since I didn't get the template up as I wanted, I convinced myself that it's the posts that define me and not the look of the blog! Yeah that's it, I don't like grapes, they are generally sour…
