Eternal Confabulations of Thoughtless Minds

Since the beginning of college, my hostel room has been the perpetual meeting place of the most jobless students of my college. I've been exposed to a concoction of ideas from the farthest corners of human mind since the first day of college. Here is a rundown of the kinds of discussions held at the rendezvous of ramblers.

Reminiscences

These discussions are usually headed by my roomie (read drunkorexic room-mate) and are usually narratives of his fukupps or his experiences with imbeciles of the highest order, followed by the audience's contributions. There is no specific time or ocassion to start these and thats the reason these have been abused (mostly by my roomie) and will be abused till the end of time. After months of listening to the same stories over and over again, I am sure I can write a short-story book on his fuckupps. Excerpts from some most repeated discussions to bring in some clarity:

"...that freak was weighing the other guy's balls with a spoon..."

"...and then we banged in and caught him red handed. He was on his knees in front of the computer monitor...LOL!"

"...and then we ran all the way to the beach in the snow, wearing only our boxers."

I guess that should be enough...ain't it?

Philosophies

These discussions are usually triggered quite late in the night and almost invariably last until dawn. They usually involve very few participants with significant IQs (that explains the low participation levels). I usually prefer to be a part of these. Although these discussions aren't exactly productive, they 'sound' intellectual and make you feel good about yourself...as if you've made an invaluable contribution to the world of philosophy. These are usually centred around abstruce, debatable and indecipherable stuff like "Does God exist?" or "Can money buy happiness?" or "Is happiness relative?" or any other topic that qualifies to be fairly abstract and time consuming.

Cacophonies

These are the most popular, most attended and most enjoyed discussions of all. These start close to midnight and may continue until just before dawn. These are essentially pointless, inconsequential and irrelevant discussions usually motivated by guys in high spirits or high 'on' spirits or both (my roomie falls in the third category). My involvement in these discussions is preferrably physical as long as I'm not high on spirits too :D. During these, the nonsense level in the air reaches dizzying heights and can prove fatal for a completely sane guy...but who cares for minorities anyway.

After months of being amidst these fabulous confabulations and more, I feel I'm not worse off. At least I can be sure my brain cells can now handle most absurdiy than most of you can.
