Characters

An update long overdue ehh? Well G's been terribly busy lately. That goddamn time of the year. G was doing his taxes and stuff. "So G has not been writing?" you ask. Well G is. As much as life snickers at him the love affair between him and the tapping sound of the keys is so not gonna end. And G has been writing, editing, rewriting, re-editing and giving away that arrogant smile of triumph when the painting looks complete.

"But what have you been writing?" some people close to G ask.

Well... G has been creating some character sketches. Fictional characters. G is gonna try his hand at creative writing. G has three characters ready. None of em very impressive, but then satire would not require heavy characterization. Now that G is talking about heavy characterization, he would talk about what he thinks are very impressive figures characterized in ink (or fonts).

Tracy Whitney: The central character from Sidney Sheldon's 'If tomorrow comes'. A wronged woman who swears revenge upon people who framed her and made her mother kill herself. Tracy's misadventures start in the prison where the fellow-convicts rape her. She then plans to escape from the joint and exact her revenge upon her tormentors. Once appeased, she tries to live a respectable life, but her 'record' leads her to embarrassing situations. That's when a new Tracy is born. Tracy the Constar. Constar damn it not porn star. And this is where the fun begins. The heists have been brilliantly plotted and Tracy keeps getting more impressive with every turn of the page. Good presentation. This is the only Sidney Sheldon book that G ever liked.

Brutus: The man who betrayed Caesar. The character is too damn strong and overshadows anybody else. G doesn’t have any words to describe Brutus, because whatever he says about Brutus would be an understatement. Remember, it's not that he loved Caesar less; but he loved Rome more.

Sauron, the dark lord: Do not ask 'Who?'! Sauron is the villain from The Lord of the Rings. Although no physical form of Sauron has been sketched in the book but you always feel his presence. More so whenever Frodo and Samwise goof up or land in trouble. He exists in the Orcish hordes, in Shelob's lair. He is present in Saruman's eyes and Wormtongue's evil thoughts. He hangs onto the ring as Frodo gets closer to the fires of Mount Doom, making it heavier and making Frodo's progress difficult. Very brilliantly presented.
Tolkien, G bows before thee.

Atticus Finch: The protagonist from the classic, 'To Kill a Mocking Bird'. A righteous man driven by his convictions. He takes and maintains his stand no matter what situation he is in. In the book, Atticus stands up for righteousness and justice rather than giving in to the unjustified convictions of the majority. The impact that he makes on the community is reflected when even though he loses the case, the defendant's sympathizers stand up in respect for him. A character so great that it gives G gooseflesh every time he thinks of it.

Gail Wynand: The tyrant from 'The Fountainhead' who endorses the Wynand papers. The ruthless business tycoon behind 'The Banner' a hard hitting tabloid. Arrogant and observant, he raised from the madness called Hell's Kitchen and made his way to the top. On his way up he used to do menial jobs and when he did me his way, he'd get hell from his employers. "You don't run the things around here", all his life he heard this one sentence a million times. And then when he got to the top, he decided that it is payback time and named his yacht 'I do'. Gail had an idea; he always visualized a man, a living being who would be incorruptible. All his life he destroyed many strong men trying to find that one incorruptible spirit. And then when he found him, in the form of Roark, he devotes his life to his friendship with him. Most of his life, Gail had sacrificed his integrity for power. Thus, when gratified by his position, he began his hunt for a man stronger, more powerful than him. A man who would not give up his ideals for anything. The characters of Ellsworth Toohey and Howard Roark from the same book are equally impressive. But there is something about Gail Wynand that makes him tick Gail Wynand is G's most favorite character ever. He inspires a quality in G, arrogance.

G: The man behind a certain web log who refuses to take any shit from anybody. Very aggressive yet calm and composed. As proud as a fuckin peacock and as rude as one can get. You don't like him?? Well then kindly fuck off!



March 09 Shaken, not stirred.

And G would not write.

He would hold the windows key on the keyboard down and hit the letter R. In less than 2 seconds he would type notepad before he hits enter. And then that huge white screen would come up. And then G would think. He would think of one amazing story after another. And then he would type a few words before he deletes the entire thing.

"Ain't good enough." he would tell himself and then think some more.

A few more thoughts, another story, some more typing, and then the same old ctrl+a and delete.

"I cannot be bothered." he tells himself. And he exits out of the notepad and goes back to playing GTA: San Andreas.

"You are lonely G," he can hear a familiar voice say; "your blogging helps you communicate with the world. It's your release. You do not write because you want to write, you write because you have to write."

G writes not because he wants to write but because he has to write?? G does not do anything because he has to do it. He does whatever he does because he wants to. So keep your psycho-analysis to yourself.

UGH! Fuck you bitch, see what you've done to G. He would not write anymore. It's unbelievable how G has stopped doing something that he enjoys doing just because of something that somebody said.

Reverse-psychology is a mean weapon.So G is gonna rest, sharpen his daggers in the meanwhile.There is this one thing that G does that nobody can stop him from doing. Fight back.

"Strike one G. You ain’t invincible after all", the bitch called life snickers "I am waiting."

And G lets out an inaudible grunt.
