when u had it
u dint want it
now u aint got it
and u want it bad

-propellerHeads
close Encounters

Usually i dont attempt to pour my thoughts into a paragraph and be verbose in my approach to blogging, but then what the heck everyone needs a bed time story once in a while :)

So the other day i was thinking how people come and go out of our lives , sometimes on a daily basis,
tell us their little story and dissapear into the wilderness. Sometimes we are moved by these stories and other times we are like uHH do i know u??

Most of us are usually are caught up in our own little miseries that we never really have time to rewind and rollback these little stories that are hidden inside our minds.
Now ever so often u say screw yall to everything around you and escape into the woods and pick out a story that makes u happy. its like going to ur dusty cd rack and picking out music u havent heard in a while.

And then u end up thinking what ever happened to that person. Oh how i wish i had a gadget that would enable me to track my list of homies and see what they have gone thru over time. I guess the blogs do serve this purpose somebit, but wouldnt it be cool to just know everything about everyone u have cared for in your life without having to take too much effort.

the lack of such an instrument thereof is what i think to be the cause of constant change in peoples social surroundings, well not that i am discounting the burdens of the chaotic chain of everyday mundane necessities of life ... like ah my laundry basket is full or darn my credit card bill needs to be paid .. considering them as common ground , well of course if u happen to be a hippie it all dont count, i would think that the lack of close connections with people who have touched us propels us to find easy escape routes and settle for easy access scenarios ... oh you should meet this new bosnian dude i hang out with .. he is absolutley hilarious.

before i stop making any sense to meself i am sorry i have to end my attempt at pouring down my thoughts

I am Giving u away for someone else to take

Oh Getting nostalgic on music I am


--------------~-------------------------------------------------------
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Can not find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me...
All these changes taking place. I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
I swear I recognize your breath...
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former...
It's hard when, your stuck upon the shelf...
I changed by not changing at all... small town predicts my fate...
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see...
I just want to scream... Hello.
My god its been so long,... never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are... and here I am... Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade... fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade...

scheduling observations : civilization has gotten twisted and ingrained deeply to a strict adherance to follow the order of things that we nowadays need something called as a "schedule".
oh boy i am late for the 9.00 a.m brunch meeting with the society of ozone depletion watchers.
or more commonly .
i think it is time for my restroom break.

oh Amore!!

##
OOnce in a while i come to a point when everything is zero.
Yesterday's up or down doesn't effect anything. I am in a place, like a womb,
like a still unborn baby, but the difference being I have an adult, insecure
fearful mind.
I have nothing, and all that I wanted to accomplish seems unworthwhile. The
world is there, with its million choices, and it's difficult to chose because my
adult prrbah mind finds fault with everything. Even buddha doesn't pass the
test.
We have all faced the world for however many years.
We have seen on an everyday basis new things and thngs repeating themselves.
Pleasant and unpleasant.
Fantasy, and fear are manifestations of the unstable mind. The stable mind sees
all as one, and equal. Nothing is big enough, or too small.

So the void I feel is both pleasant and unpleasant. As if I have a clean chit,
when I need a resume.

have you felt it at anytime...?

I feel small I talk big, I feel big I am silent.

I can't do much for anybody except engage them in dialogue. Maybe make people
think. No I don't think that's true either. I am now moving out of the void.
This mail is doing its job.

I have a plan for the evening, I have fantasies and fears. Talk and action.

I'd like one of you with surplus to lend me some will power.

Is there anybody?

FightClub Insomnia:

For six months...I couldn't sleep.

INT. COPY ROOM - DAY

Echo " I couldn't sleep...I couldn't sleep...I couldn't sleep..."
Jack, sleepy, stands over a copy machine. His Starbucks cup sits on the lid, moving back and forth as the machine copies.

JACK (V.O.)
With insomnia, nothing's real. Everything is far away. Everything is a copy, of a copy, of a copy.

Other people make copies, all with Starbucks cups, sipping.

INT. JACK'S OFFICE - SAME

Jack's P.O.V. : A bin full of newspapers, Starbucks cup and FAST FOOD GARBAGE.

JACK (V.O.)
When deep space exploration ramps up, it will be corporations that name everything: The IBM Stellar Sphere. The Microsoft Galaxy. Planet Starbucks.

Jack, sipping stares blankly as his BOSS enters, Starbucks cup in hand, and hands a stack of reports.

BOSS
Gonna need you out-of-town a little more this week. We've got some "red-flags" to cover.

JACK (V.O.)
It must've been Tuesday. He was wearing his "cornflower-blue" tie.

JACK
(listless management speak)
You want me to de-prioritize my current reports until you advise of a status upgrade?

BOSS
Make these your primary "action items". Here are your flight coupons. Call me from the road if there are any snags.

Jack's boss slides the stack of reports on Jack's desk and leaves.

JACK (V.O.)
He was full of pep. Must've had his grande latte enema.

INT. BATHROOM - JACK'S CONDO - NIGHT

Jack sits on the toilet, CORDLESS PHONE to his ear, flips through an IKEA catalog. There's a stack of old PLAYBOY magazines and other catalogs nearby.

JACK (V.O.)
Like so many others, I had become a slave to the IKEA nesting instinct.

JACK
(into phone)
Yes, I'd like to order the Erika Peccary dust ruffles...

OPERATOR (V.O.)
Please hold.

Jack drops the catalog on the floor.

MOVE IN ON CATALOG - ON PHOTO of COFFEE TABLE SET...

JACK (V.O.)
If I saw something clever like coffee table sin the shape of a yin and yang, I had to have it.

INT. LIVING ROOM / DINING AREA / KITCHEN

JACK (V.O.)
The Klipske personal office unit, the Hovertrekke home exer-bike. Or the Johannshamnh sofa with the Strinne green stripe pattern...

The office unit APPEARS. Then the exer-bike APPEARS.

JACK (V.O.)
Even the Rislampa wire lamps of environmentally-friendly unbleached paper.

THE LAMP APPEARS. PAN OVER to wall...

JACK (V.O.)
I would flip through catalogs and wonder "what kind of dining set defines me as a person?"

A dining room set APPEARS. Jack, the cordless phone still glued to his ear, walks INTO FRAME and continues. Jack opens a cabinet with plates in it.

JACK (V.O.)
I had it all. Even the glass dishes with tiny bubbles and imperfections, proof they were crafted by the honest, simple, hard working people of...wherever.

OPERATOR (V.O.)
Please hold.

JACK
(into phone)
I was holding.

JACK( V.O.)
We used to read pornography. Now it was the Horchow Collection.

Jack closes the cabinet. He rummages through the refrigerator. It's practically empty. Jack takes out a jar of mustard, opens it and uses a butter knife to eat it.

INT. DOCTOR'S OFFICE - DAY

Jack, eyes puffy, face pale, sits before an INTERN, who studies him with bemusement.

INTERN
No, you can't die from insomnia.

JACK
What about narcolepsy? I nod off, I wake up in strange places, I have no idea how I got there.

INTERN
You need to lighten up.

JACK
Can't you, please, just give me something?

JACK (V.O.)
Red-and-blue Tuinal lipstick-red seconals.

INTERN
(overlapping with above)
No. You need healthy, natural sleep. Chew some valerian root and get some more exercise.

The Intern rushes Jack to the door. They step into the...

INT. HALLWAY

The Intern walks away from Jack, picks up a chart.

JACK
Hey, come on. I'm in pain.

INTERN
(facetious)
You wanna see pain? Swing by First Methodist Tuesday night. See guys with testicular cancer. That's pain.

The intern moves into the other room. Jack stares after him.

Old man and a little girl

The little girl Went wandering by
Went wandering by Went wandering by
the moor

She was happy She was happy She was happy
for there was no one around

She could Shout out loud Jump up high Roll on the grass
for no one could see

The little girl Came up to Came up to Came up to
a Giant oak tree

Out came From the shadows From the shadows From the shadows
a grumpy old man

The little girl Went running from Went running from
Went running from
the grumpy old man

She hid under the grass hid by the bushes and hid by the trees
so the old man wouldnt see

The old man though made her laugh made her happy made her dandy
since he was grumpy as grumpy could be

To this day the Village folks say the Village folks say the Village folks say
This odd little tale

And wonder about the Magical day the Magical day the Magical day
when the old man and the little girl met

Are the Stars
trying to tell you something ?
The Rush

The force within is too hard to control
The freak inside just wants out
The moods they change so very often
The thought inside just wants out
The blood flows with such turbulence
The fear inside just wants out
The change of seasons so proclaims
The doom for the people who just want out

sickness Vs cure

In this day and age talking about a life without medicines is ridiculous and can get u bashed up ..
Nevertheless i am going to muster all my guts and say This

Every "body" has the capacity of curing itself .. the drugs only tell the brain that u dont have a problem when u are sick and inturn help ur body to heal quickly. So u dont need drugs and can be the mediator urself.

So as usual i was presenting my theory to my thai friend and he said that he had this ugly infection that would show up on his face every now and then and and only applying a particular cream cured it. Well my two cents is he is is pissing his body by applying the cream. His body wants him to have this infection and i am sure for a right reason and he is going against its wishes and actually endangering himself. But like the billion other medical mongers in this planet he dont care a rats ass to what i think.
Ek Anek Aur Ekta



From when we were kids and T.V didnt occupy so much of our lives.

YouthFul Pride !
SO as usual i got to thinking about things around me and this time vegas had my brain churning

Oh yeah i was hanging out with gungadin and other homeboys this past weekend.

So u get down at the airport and u hear the slot machines crackling ....
u know its vegasss baby cuz they want ur money for every little time u have to spare.

i was surprised the stripclubs didnt have any slot machines or like butthead would say slut machines .. now that would be a redundant statement for butthead ..Ah now i realize why the dudes never made an entry into one of these clubs in their movie.

Ok as usual i side tracked .. but the point was that vegas wants ur money and it wants it bad.

Vegas also is strikingly obvious with the whole demographics of the cultural generations.
well in english that means that they dont discriminate on the basis of race, sex, age, culture ..
If anything works in timbuktoo u are bound to find it in vegas.

And this variety of choices has obviously brought in its share of segregation. U dont see the
oldies in mandalay bay or luxor .. and u dont see them college kids in MGM grand or the mirage.
U are mostlikely to run into europeans outside the casinos and them texans on the craps table.

One thing for sure u are bound to have a blast no matter how much money u have lost or won.
One advice though is not to try and accomplish everything at vegas. Its immpossible and churns ur stomach. if u wanted to gamble just do that, party then just party, watch shows then just watch shows and if u were only interested in sight seeing well then theres plenty of eye candy :)

Money is a crime !

Should i borrow a chain
When the dream dissappears

The left side of my head hurts
the doc says its migraine

Its time to Partaaayy!!

Finally the efforts of my chaddi dost seem to be paying off ..
Time to Rise and Shine Amore
Coincidences,

Can there be two elements naturally so born that they can have the exact existence.
Can there be two thoughts that are locally independent and conceptually corroborative

Can there be two fish born at different times in different oceans with no way of telling who is who

is it true that the forces of nature can no longer maintain a unique domain ?
