My extraordinary B'day bash!!!!

This post is about this year's birthday celebrations. It turned out to be of a rather different kind.
It all began at 12 am in the morning. Uchiha Sasuke was bent upon participating in the chuunin exam tournament and Sakura was trying to convince him the opposite. There was a knock on the window and i wondered who that could possibly be.
Ofcourse, there was only one possibility - Slick. He's the only one who a) would knock on the WINDOW at 12 am b) would come at such a time cause he has no real curfew time as he's the ruler of a planet and c)he's the only intelligent outer space species
who knows my home address d) unintelligent species wouldn't know how to knock and a whole lot of other reasons.I opened the window and there he was, standing in what seemed to be a huge transparent tube. I wondered what mode of transportation he had used this time. But, more importantly, i was really happy that he not only remembered my b'day but also came to wish me( it's not part of the custom of his planet)!!

" I'm so glad you came to wish me on my birthday. That's awfully nice of you."
Slick replied while his eyes moved up,"Uh.....It is? I mean.... it is....yes it is your birthday and i came to wish you!" then he mumbled something about having a little chat with his secretary about remembering birthdays.
Ok, it was too much to wish for. "ok fine. it's alright. You didn't come here because it's my birthday."
"But, umm.....on the contrary....i did come because of that. See, i've got you a gift." and he took out a huge book which i suspected some citizen in his planet had given as a token of gratitude to Slick for listening to his problems in life.
"This is the latest bestseller in our galaxy and the rest of the universe."
The title of the book was - THE PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE ARE STUPID.

I thought about the title of the book. Ok, this is a best - seller. Maybe, it's about how little we all know about the universe, that it can be compared to a drop of liquid in a vast,infinite ocean.
I had over estimated. It happened to be a book about how all the people of the universe are already stupid and are getting stupider everyday which i found rather stupid cause it explained to people that day is a relative measure of time and that it does not mean a day on their planet but just that people were getting stupider with time and hence, it kind of proved its theory because anyone who bought such a book and liked it and voted it as best - seller was stupid ,which happened to be most of the people in the universe.

Anyway, after that, i went with Slick to his planet with the help of the glass tube which happened to be a long distance teleporter specially designed for Slick for a quick escape route (Quite smart according to me). With a few quick orders executed, he held a huge party just for me.
I also met one of the best bands in the galaxy - Ked Leppelin. Pluzon on vocals, Lo on the electromagnetic guitar with a hovering capability to add for style, Mant on keys which had all the different voices you can possibly imagine and more, and Beon on percussion(I'm not sure what all the percussion stuff is called cause he's got a lot them). They played hard core elemental quark music.
The genre - hard core elemental quark is like the next next next level. Right now Earth's best is still progressive and psychedlic rock.This genre is few steps further. To be honest, the first time you hear it, you never understand the music due to the fact that it's extremely arbitrary. ( Now, some people might say that if it's so arbitrary, it's not really music and even a person who knows nothing about music can create this type of genre. I, on the other hand, have no comment cause i still haven't really caught on to the music.)

The party was awesome and i noticed most people talking about ' the people of the universe are stupid' book. Pluzon, the lead singer of Ked Leppelin and whom i happen to think is very insightful because he writes most of the songs and i must say i find the lyrics of his songs quite
extraordinary, said that the book sent shockwaves around the universe and that people have become so scared that the demand for science and mathematics courses in all the universities has increased astronomically. There have been huge riots regarding the academic courses not being upto standards. So, the the upper bodies have taken measures to give a good solid foundation in science and mathematics except that isn't going very well because it turns out that people are bigger idiots than the calculated value and hence this is going to be harder than anyone thought and blah blah blah.

I say 'blah blah blah' because at that moment i completely blanked out because of an enormous spaceship that cast an even more enormous shadow over the palace. The only word that did come to my mind at that time was "wow."
In, entered the courteous villain. I say courteous because he did not cause any property damage when he made his entry into the palace. The villain - he called himself Dr. anonymous because he wasn't creative enough to come up with a name for himself. Quite the irony, isn't it?

"Prince Slick, this time you're going down, for in my hand i have the most dangerous weapon ever."
And Slick, proud as a ruler should be, replied "Funny, it looks like a marble to me."
"That's because it is a marble. But, what you do not know is that it's also an explosive...no no", Anonymous replied just as Slick made his way to the control room, "don't even think about using the teleporter as a quick escape route. You see this is a very special explosive. The time that it
takes to create the damage is less than a trillionth of a second, as opposed to the teleporter that takes a billionth of a second." Oh no! that's bad. I don't want my B'day to be my D'day...

But, then the Ked Leppelin band sneeked up on Anonymous from behind him. Slick shouted to them " Good. keep that going but, whatever you do, don't let the marble fall on the floor. Otherwise it'll explode." Then, he turned to me and said " With this distraction, i can buy the time to create a ray gun that can make explosive devices vanish. I thought up of a mechanism to do it. I have the blue print right here" and he showed it to me.

Course, i didn't understand a thing but, one thing i did know - "But, where are you going to get the components from?"
"I don't need these components. These are for optimum efficiency. All i need is a tie, a pair of shoes, a lens and a torch which i have right here", he said pointing to his safety torch which was the size of a bindi on his forhead. Great, so all we needed to do is find a tie and a lens. I already
had shoes. I never leave anywhere without shoes on.

Finding a tie is quite hard considering the fact that no one here wears a tie! Except.... there happened to be one man sitting in the corner who was wearing one. Atleast, it looked like one. I ran over to the side, doged the laser attacks of Anonymous's so called " minions" and got to the
man and asked him for his tie which he politely refused.....refused!!! What was going on? And that's exactly what i asked the man and he replied - " This tie is very important to me. I went to a quite unheard of planet where everyone wore ties and now require it so i can make a BOLD fashion statement in the universe and become rich and famous and set the trend for the coming generations." Stupid. But, now was not the time to argue.
I managed to convince him that i could give him all the ties he ever wanted because i am from the unheard planet that he went to.(coz i am)
so, he agreed.
I had got the tie. Now, for the lens. It's times like these that i regret forgetting to wear my spectacles.
But, come on, it's a party. There's got to be transparent plates or glasses to eat and drink from that are thick enough to act as lenses.
No!!! They don't have.....except the spoons here are. Lucky for me!!! so, I managed to get the spoon. Slick assembled his ray gun just in time.

Meanwhile, during the whole time this was happening, the rest of the people were playing monkey with the highly dangerous marble with Anonymous as the monkey. Credit goes to me, since, i taught them that game the last time i visited Slick's planet. The marble soared into the air, Anonymous made a leap for it, and so did Lo who knocked Anonymous at the head with his hovering guitar and caught the marble. Then, Slick used the ray gun and the marble vanished forever. By then, Anonymous had screamed " NOOOOOooooooooo....." and escaped onto his
enormous spaceship which warped itself out of there. And the day was saved.
Slick dropped me back home after that. It was around 8:30 in the morning and i called up a few friends so that i could catch the 10:30 show of Kung fu panda in the multiplex. Had lots of popcorn and twice that much fun. I came back, went for my usual Thursday piano class, came back from class to find a surprise party for me at home!

Sigh. That was one exciting B'day. And at the end of the day, i thought, we're not as stupid as we think we are. A bunch of idiots, definitely, but relative to what we think of ourselves, we're almost, but a little less stupider. And the fact that we've realised how stupid we can get has to count for something, right?

Welcome!!!

Welcome to DimenisionX-42...

This is a small introduction as to what this is all about.
The theory goes that there are an infinite number of universes that move parallel to each other along the time line(if time is represented as a line).For every choice that we make make, there is an alternate universe where we choose the other alternative. This implies the possibility of having an infinite number possibilities. The official term for this may be parallel universe but some of us prefer calling each universe as a dimension.
This blog is about DimensionX-42. And this dimension is where the universe is perfect for ME.... and is quite perfect for a lot of others too...
