Could there beeee a better Bing????

There it is…I have at last succumbed to the pressure (self induced I must admit) and here I am writing my first ever blog. I have always felt that not even my mom would really care about my thoughts/opinions. I still do, but then I have been wanting to do something different of late.

I wanted to join a Salsa class, but being the lazy git that I am I have been procrastinating it for eternity now. By starting to write a blog I achieved the twin purpose of doing something new and not having to move my ass. (Feels good to realize that I am getting paid while I do this!)

I started watching friends about 2 years ago when I moved to Bermuda (My life was all about Metti Olli/Chitti/Lollu Sabha till then) I took a liking to Chandler’ character instantaneously. I loved his sarcasm, his perceived machoness (like when he sports a moustache/ keeps pretending hugs are not cool despite hugging Joey a zillion times during the show). For a while I didn’t realize why I loved Chandler Bing so much for it is pretty clear that Matthew Perry is no where in the league of Al pacino/Tom Hanks/Kamal Hassan or Sivaji (yes I honestly believe Kamal and Sivaji are right up there with the best Hollywood actors)

Then it struck me, I love Chandler because it is ME!

I am quite popular among my legions (which consists of the 10 poor souls who laugh at all my stupid jokes or are they laughing at me???) for my sarcastic and witty comments

I use humor as a defense mechanism as I have the social skills of an animal carcass

I do a job which I hate and am in it for the money and the security it gives me

I can’t dance even if my life depended on it (Ooi..you at the back? I can hear you saying “I thought you intended to join the salsa class)

I am pathetic with women. I never understood if I am more uncomfortable with drunk guys or crying women!

I have always had this crazy fear that I am actually going to die alone. Forget girlfriend/wife I keep thinking that I will die when and there will be nobody around me

A person liking me is more akin to acquired taste. I am not the kind of guy who makes the best first impression. (Thank God, I am told most women don’t believe in Love at first sight. Guys like me need a chance) – Incase you guys didn’t get the connection- remember how Phoebe tutors Bing when he goes for the interview in the advertising company as she thinks he doesn’t create a good first impression

Could there beeee a better bing.?

Cheers

PS: Beem, keeps telling me that since I have most of the traits that chandler has I might end up with a hottie like Monica –I just say “From your lips to god’s ears”
