Journey to the last frontier

A friend of mine once asked me "What is the one place that man has built, but is never allowed to?". I was thinking of complex stuff like nuclear reactor core or deep sea rig or something like that, but his answer was deceptively simple. "Ladies toilet", he told me. I would never have thought of that. But it made sense. After all I have never been to one in my whole life. Till last weekend.

Me and a friend were driving to Boston, and I really needed to use the restroom. We pulled into a gas station, and as luck would have it, some jackass was inside the the toilet. I waited for about 10 minutes, but he won't come out. I was desperate by this time, and I didn't think twice about using the ladies restroom nearby. Truth be told, I really didn't know what to expect in there, but I certainly didn't think it would look like a gent's restroom. And that was exactly how it looked.

When I came out a woman was waiting outside. She gave me an odd look. But I didn't care. My friend had a good laugh though. As we were continuing on our way, I remembered that old conversation I had. "Not any more", I thought, "not any more."

I feel like a pioneer.

I live, again...

These are the legendary words uttered by Caleb at the beginning of Blood 2: The Chosen. For those of you who don't know, Blood 2 was a really gory shooting game that came out in 2000, and Caleb was the main protagonist in it. Now go back to live under your rock.. shoo...

After a hiatus of more than one and a half years, I've started to write in my blog again. But this time its not to prove anything or show anything to someone. This is just for me, this is personal. And what prompted me to start blogging again? A group of russians. More to follow...
