Flap Your Wings and Say Yeah!

Time is a miraculous thing. So poetic, yet so cliche. When I had a stint at trying to write my own music, my lyrics always seemed to revolve around time (like a clock maybe? D'oh!). Plus if you are going to make a rhyme using the word rhyme, why would you not use time as the couplet?

But I digress, the purpose of this written word can be traced to my want, nay my duty, to inform. I want to inform you what has happened in my life for the last couple of weeks. Welcome and please make yourself at home in my thoughts. I apologize in advance for the mess.

Oh! I am really sorry. Errr... Embarrassed. You weren't supposed to see that!

Today I went to get my FAVORITE coffee ever at the Bittersweet Cafe on Fremont and California. I was looking backward to reading my book that I have previously mentioned in the future of this blog. For future reference, it is entitled The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy. I have really only read the introduction and the first portion of the 1st Chapter, but it seems to be a "fair and balanced" book (not to be confused with certain organizations that share the same tag line). The implications with what I have read thus far, suggest that the war in Iraq would not have been a war at all without the pressure of the "Israel Lobby". While this is a bold statement, it does seem plausible. Unfortunately for me the coffee place closed at 8pm.

Work has been a bit more stressful lately. There has been a deluge of assignments that has bogged me down and made me less efficient than I wish to be. I will not underestimate my workload anymore.

It was great seeing all my friends in Las Vegas last weekend. I had breakfast and played card games (sans Jay) with my family on Sunday. Saturday was a party at Tony's place and Friday was a Love Pentagon/JASL show followed (preceded) by drinkage at The Griffin (who would've thunk?).

As I feel that my blogs might carry on in length, I shall skip over some of the more minute activities (like discussing gardening techniques with Ghandi or like winning Mr. Universe only to have the title revoked because of some scandalous pictures of me sucking down some yay in the nude) and go to the prior weekend. Saturday evening was spent in glorious conversation with my new friend Janelle. I had spent the previous 8 hours with her and a bunch of new acquaintances/friends on the beach drinking wine and socializing. Friday night was EPIC. The "cosby sweater" party started out innocent enough, but soon conversation started. Enough said. (To get the real story, please see my autobiography on page 4 ((a little further down right after Middle School)) there you go!)

The Darjeeling Limited taught me that life can be a bit more exciting with a little bit of awkardness.

Life can still be glorious without a symbiotic male-female relationship.

Things you hold constant in your life can change in the blink of an eye. The universe is a rugby game in a kiddie pool.

And finally, a 50-minute commute can help you to put your thoughts in order. I'll file this thought under "D" for Donut.
