Excursion : About, Overview & FAQ !

I was walking towards the bathroom to perform those after-waking-up-things and it hit me. What this blog needs is some sort of a direction, a distinct path to tread on rather than walking through a jungle one day and flying to Mars the next day {which would be cool come to think of it}. It's a bit like life when you think about it {Wow, here comes the all-knowing life expert}. A direction-lacking life only yields a series of confusion and depression and eventual unhappy die-a-tion {to be consistent with the whole rhyming thing I had going on}.

About :
Everyone loves those boring personal travel stories and I bet everyone loves writing about them. I am of course no different. So I thought for a while I'll cover all my travelling thingy's {'till date} in my blog. It'll come with nice descriptions, some sarcasm, some humour relief and perhaps some pictures. {Only after someone tells me how to do it .. Do I use hosting-images-thingys? Then what?}

Overview :
I'm not sure how frequent I will be or the length of each entry, whether one 'adventure' will roll over to a second entry and many many uncertainties. Let's see how I go. The entries will be chronological starting from when I was a wee-lass to erm.. now. I wanted to put up all the titles of the upcoming episodes then thought against it, as that would require me to 'Think'.

FAQ:

a) What is 'Excursion'?

Dictionary.com explains the word excursion as:
1. A usually short journey made for pleasure; an outing.
2. A roundtrip on a passenger vehicle at a special low fare.
3. A group taking a short pleasure trip together.
From this I hope the readers will understand what excursion means. Otherwise consider perhaps a beginners english course or contact me for tutouring {fees and charges will definitely apply}.

b) Why this outrageous idea out of nowhere?

To make this stupid blog more effeicient and read-worthy. To kill some time and brag about my travels. To show off some english skills and last but not least, people will get to see my chronologically ugly face {that's still a maybe though}.

c) How this idea came about?

Two places: DMR's blog and the family bathroom.

d) What are you hoping to achieve?

Nothing. Re-read response to question b).

e) Why can't I see any photos?

Because they haven't been uploaded or perhaps your server is just plain crap.

f) How can I contact you?

Leave your name, telephone number and a short message after you've finished reading. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

Updation!

I've totally revamped the 'look' of my blog by stealing from various places on the Internet. Due to the constant reminder of the 'plagiarism issue' I shall now credit the people or rather the websites I've acquired 'Zee look'.

The blog background thingy, the style, the bla-bla is courtesy of blogger.com

The Image thingy is from a website called artbackroom.com. This is a site I recommend people to visit. Anek artist [mostly unknown, or rather unknown to me]. This particular piece is called 'American Forest-After Rain' by an artist named Karen Williams Edelmann.

The thingy written in place of my usual profile is of course a poem by T.S. Eliot. The stupid system does not seem to allow lines, hence everything looks like a paragraph-mush. The lines were printed in the website called bartleby.com. I've just had a look at the 'whole' site and to my untrainted eyes, it's a good literary-info-full-web-site.

That's it for now. I wanted to write a whole lot more, but moi is hungry and a tad bit impatient.
