Am I weird?

Couple of days ago, for some reason I decided to add more content to my google personalized home page. As I was looking at the various content that was on offer, my eyes quickly fell on the "Quote of the day" link and I thought it would be nice to have some nice quotes come up daily on my page. After adding some other content, I quickly checked the stuff that was being shown in the new content sections that I had just added. The "Quote of the day" section had like three quotes and one of them really caught my attention. The quote was:

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. " by Hunter S. Thompson
http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/33780.html

The qoute really caught my attention because not only was it a clever manipulation of the more famous "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" quotation, but also probably because of the "weird" problems that I have been facing in my current task at my work place. It has been a tough last few days for me at work because of problems which I choose to qualify as "weird" rather embarrasingly. I was really agitated because of these problems and this quote seemed to provide the right inspiration to tackle the problem with greater vigor. As soon as as I read the quote, I was begnining to think that I was going to turn pro soon. But even before that happy feeling began to sink in, I realized that according to the quote, I need to be weird first to actually turn into pro and this thought kept bothering me for the rest of the day :) . And whenever this thought kept popping into my head, I tried to wean away from that by saying to myself that you don' t really need to be weird to turn into pro but for some "weird" reason the question "Am I weird?" kept coming back to me. Then I thought I guess I am not the person to judge weather I am weird or not. It is probably for people who know me to make that judgement. So now you know why I have this post!

So guys do you think I am weird??

Should Zimbabwe be kicked out of ODI's too?

After the terrible performance of Zimbabwe in the Champions Trophy, I was all for Zimbabwe being relegated to non-ODI playing team. But the insipid batting displays by West Indies, England, South Africa, India and New Zealand in their respective matches has mellowed me a bit. Now in the hindsight, Zimbabwe I think still deserves to be around for a while and if the so called strong teams continue to put up such below par performances then Zimbabwe can even start believing about getting its test status back soon.
