Going gaga

Whats this about? No, this is not about Lady Gaga. She is weird. Anyway going gaga, you go gaga, everyone does. About what though? Some about money, beauty, complexity, simplicity, etc. People do that over the silliest of things. But why is that going to interest you? Heck, why would I be interested in it even? You take interest in it only when you are in, what-they-call-it, deep shit. You simply roam around places you wouldn't normally, do stupidest things. And not realize that, in fact, you are making a big dummy of yourself. But most of all, it's going gaga over someone else that tops. For some, money might be everything. For a few, a glance is all that matters. And you start building wonders, ones the world will never see, in the air. Huge monuments that weigh over every ounce of common sense you (might) have. The choices you make with such heavy things floating above your head is anything but intelligent. It would seem THE BEST thing that you could possibly do in the circumstances. But actually, you are just waiting for reasons to jump back into the wonder you built.

Dreams are good. Daydreams - that's a sign of a loose screw up-top, or say they say. Taking-off from reality to your Wonderland with you welcoming yourself at its doorsteps. Sometimes reality is too depressing to live in. Killing time, doing nothing, just let the time float away idly. But anyway going gaga is something everyone would have done, and everyone, well at least most of them, would at one point quit it saying "Enough with this already, I have a life to live" and go into another daydream. Just kidding. It sucks. No point blaming it though, Reality is what it can be, and it is trying very hard to get back in your good books.

Life is a series of daydreams, at the beginning of each there is a placard saying "This is it!". I have already mentioned the end, if at all there is one. Dreams you sleep in them, daydreams you live through them. Going gaga over things is fine because, it never hurts. I could be wrong, you go gaga over the wrong thing when with the wrong people, boy does it hurt. But not directly anyway, so I am right. Take it for granted that once you go gaga, you go goo-goo-ga-ga, nothing adult about that. It will bring out the child in you, who may not be as well-behaved as you "are". A bad end to that fantasy will mostly result in an explosion of that knowledge to many people you may need to be with in the future. That's not comforting, is it? But, nah, who cares. Some people think they are really careful with the choices of what to go gaga on. They could either, be tormenting themselves from within or actually be really smart people. You don't get that sorta people around here often, do we? You get a different kind of smart in real life, the ones with an ass at the end. I am digressing. To go gaga or not go gaga, that is the question. If you want an answer for that, you are looking in the wrong place. Some good things do come out of these gaga-isms. You get to know who you are, what you are made of, etc. kind of stuff. In a way, your passions define who you are. The choices you make are governed by that part of the brain which houses the gaga-isms. If you went gaga over a girl/guy once, it will happen twice. If it happened twice, then it would happen again. (weak ripoff, couldn't help myself ) If you went gaga over a thing, nobody cares, do what you want with it. So if you are gaga about someone or something right now, always good to re-think. And what have you learnt from this post? Nothing again.

P.S: You ask why I say "You" alone all the time? Yeah, fine, fine. We. Happy?
P.P.S: If you thought this "P.S" is just some random afterthought of mine, well.... you are right. ^_^
P.P.P.S: On a serious note, "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D.Salinger is a book in which you bring in nothing, you take out nothing.
