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 :)

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 ?

in a world full of chaos you come entangled
like a spider on a mission you weave a veil
where is that smile that is left undiscovered
where is that blade that can cut the tentacles
