here's a delicious Dorothy Parker remark:

"She has put all her eggs in one bastard."

hilarious.

stupid conversation at work:

he: ok. i always trust what you say

me: LOL. that's where you're wrong!

he: good to see that you are back

me: back today, front tomorrow! haha

he: haha. who told you that. no one too close i hope

i'm dealing with big stuff now.

powerful emotions.
profound feelings.
intense experiences.
scary opportunities.

i used to think that all these serious, unnerving thoughts were actually unhealthy. instead they're doing me a great deal of good. facing fears and conquering needless inhibitions.

so,
i'm going to keep asking awkward questions,
continue dwelling on difficult ideas.

time is a harsh taskmaster.

you get no credit for almost making it.

yeah! its my new phone!

so i got myself a new toy!

i pulled my groin muscle!

don't ask me how.
all i know is that it hurts like a bitch!

birthday wishes go out to cyn and joey.

i am, but a tourist, in this world. i marvel and tremble, all at the same time. and i'm taking mental pictures of everything i see, hear and understand because i hope that i may relive this journey when i return to my world.

'Dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return.'

from a forward:

I'm funky like a monkey
and as cool as a cat,
talk more than a parrot,
up all night like a bat

got a laugh like a hyena
but get the hump like a camel,
so cover me in fig leaves
as I'm the ultimate mammal

lyrics for the day:

Alice in Chains - Grind

In the darkest hole, you’d be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the body dies, yeah
Come the morning light, it’s a see through show
What you may have heard and what you think you know, yeah

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth don’t grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

Sure to play a part, so you love the game
And in truth your lies become one and same, yeah
I could set you free, rather hear the sound
Of your body breaking as I take you down, yeah

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth don’t grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

In the darkest hole, you’d be well advised
Not to plan my funeral before the body dies, yeah

Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth don’t grind (2x)
Hear a sound from a voice inside

i love you.

my dream machine!

Go n-eithe na peisteoga thu - 'May the worms eat you.'You're one sick bastard. When you die, you're going to to a very warm place. That is, if you don't already run it.

from a forward:

=========
Year 1981
1. Prince Charles got married
2. Liverpool crowned Champions of Europe
3. Pope Died.

=========
Year 2005
1. Prince Charles got married (again)
2. Liverpool crowned Champions of Europe (again)
3. Pope Died.

Footnote - In the future, if Charles wants to re-marry or Liverpool needs another crown ..... Poor Pope.

random shots from my vacation

i didn't go anywhere..
just stayed in my new apartment and the area..
settled it up..
tried painting it.
got nowhere.

click on the pics for a larger view.

a view from Starbucks.. you can see the marina on the right.

This is Prashanth.. he's the manager of my favorite indian restaurant in the area - Cafe Spice.

bad pic.. but whatever

A closeup of Drunk Bugs

i found this Bugs Bunny with a beer bottle in his hand.. just passed out! and this was on my first day of vacation!

another manhattan skyline shot

another silly boardwalk/manhattan shot

another silly moon shot

A beautiful garden.. and beyond that - the train station.

walking down this road leads to my house..

Another cloudy shot

Empire State building covered with clouds.. yummy.

Blah pic.. but whatever

Another shot of Downtown Manhattan

Financial District..

Awesome moonrise over Manhattan

One of the tall rises.. in my area

Midtown

Downtown Manhattan

DuskyBoardwalk

Wow! Miu does look scary

Snoring Suraj

Suraj passed out on the cricket field

and this tear
marks the end

and this fear
is no pretense.

my 9 day vacation (including 2 weekends) starts in

T -19minutes!

yay

the past few days have been kind of a reality check for me.

it seemed like i was experimenting with seeing life from two different points of view - intellectual and spiritual. and both felt real.

its impossible to choose one or the other.. it really is.

i need to integrate these viewpoints into one.. and i need to do it soon.

me: you're a fucknut! or a fuckbutt!

he: i'll fuck you UP !

me: HAHAHAH

he: dont fucking fuck with me you fucker.

me: fucknut fucknut whatcha gonna do.. whatcha gonna do when i come for you!!

he: are you like mildly retarded?

me: haha! no i'm completely retarded! hahahaha

an obsessive, urgent energy's been gathering inside me.

the life or death quality i've been feeling is really my psyche pushing for a kind of rebirth, right?

he's right.

Cheer up... Everyday you should find a reason to live for... :-)

its not always easy. and i don't often open up to people. they only see the positive/enthusiastic side of me. this once i did, and i found myself in deep shit.

as i said to him earlier, i've learned my lessons (yet again).

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from teh deceitful and unjust man.

(Psa 43:1)

i feel like i'm 17 years old.

i'm a teenager at heart.

i question authority.
i'm still trying to find my place in this world.

you guys should know that i really love pocky!

You Are Chocolat Orange Pocky

Your attitude: funky and flavorful Rich and deep - yet zingy and zesty You are the perfect partner in crime

What Flavor Pocky Are You?

< i want to be an astronaut when i grow up. >

and here's my baby (well she'll still be my baby forever) - Ishu

Here's the latest addition to my family - Arha!

its time to face my greatest fear and to assert strength over my most debilitating doubt.

culture is a funny thing.

it gives us a point in common with folk for whom we might otherwise have no affinity.

it (sometimes) also alienates us from people that we might admire if only we could get past our superficial differences.

hmm.

holy shit!

Sports fan gets death for killing wife after sex

wtf? i will never ask a sports guy to cuddle after sex.. my life is more important than sports.

"we're not out of the woods yet, young skywalker.

could that be light at the end of the tunnel?

or is it just the glow of some distant fire..
created by a fellow inmate of the underground maze.

might that sound of hooves, galloping over the horizon,
be a sign that the cavalry is coming
to rescue me?

or is it just four famous horsemen,
hurrying to make
my life a misery?

one moment
i'm full of almost
unbridled enthusiasm
and
the next
i'm full of doom and gloom.

which is appropriate?

fuck!

AC not working in the office.
its 95 degrees outside.
its probably 110 degrees in the office.

and i'm melting!

this is my writing on a bar napkin.. (well its from a book i was reading..) it says: "Marriage might.. and would.. stultify my mental processes. I'm not pivoted that way.. and so must I be chained in a kennel like a monk?"

And this is just the beginning..

and more books!

more books!

i have 32 books at work.. here are some pics of them

Betsy and Marina: two of the sweetest women i know

Mira: another swede!

Allison: our drunk receptionist.

Pelle.. the sweet swedish guy. (well one of the swedish guys anyways.. there's a friggin swedish invasion in our office.. and we love it!)

This is the Real Brian! He's leaving us :(

this is the Fake Brian (hehe we love you Brian)
