back!!!

The two most irritating situations in life (at least according to me) is when either you are really bored or when you are really busy. When you are really bored you are just itching to do something and when you are really busy you are just dying to take a break. Both these situations cause unnecessary stress that not only affects our own personal self but also the people around us. Most of the time the people around us are the people that we love and we end up doing and saying things that we never really meant to but the situation and the stress made us do anywayz. Now is an apology really going to take care of things? Is a flower pot that is broken and then fixed by sticking it together the same as the real one. No, I dont think so but then when you think about it there are unavoidable situations where you are just so much under pressure that you end up doing something stupid. To err is Human right, one of the world famous cliches so To forgive has to be Human too. I guess if you really know someone you can always tell when some problem originates because of external reasons or if he or she is meaning to be an asshole or to intentionally hurt you or disturb your life.
Well, life just teaches us quite a bit of things everyday and I am here to learn as much as I can. The only goal that I have in life is not to hurt anyone intentionally and to do what good I can to everyone whose life I touch in a small or big way. After all you are only human, you cant play God and take the burdens of this world on yourself and do everything for everyone.
Thats all folks. Im off to play DnD.

DnD Monday

DnD was fun yesterday. We were attacked by an Arcane Ooze and since nobody in our team knew what it was we powered it up by attacking with magic. By the time we finally figured out the means to attack it we had taken quite a bit of damage. Anywayz.. we finally managed to kill the thing. The bad part was that we were resting and we got attacked right there so no progress further into the dungeon. All that we did was a little exploration.
And yeah Battlestar Galactica. It was as good as I expected it. The whole idea of cylons is kinda creepy. Artificial intelligence trying to eliminate humanity has been the theme of many a movie but even then it was creepy. Its a bleak Tuesday, the weather kinda pisses me off. Its supposed to be spring damnit.. I hope it warms up soon.

All is well that ends well

Well life does dish out a lot of troubles along our way but then when you look at the people who are successful and happy in life are the ones who have dealt with those troubles. They are the ones who have jumped through hurdles and hoops and made things happen. Whenever I look behind me I see a 26 year obstacle course that I have crossed, in which I have been hurt - sometimes very minor injuries and sometimes very majoy ones where you have to stop running the course for a while - but getting hurt never stopped me from continuing on. This obstacle course is not done yet but what one hopes for is a long stretch of beach to walk at the end of this course, smooth beach sand tickling your toes while the waves wash your feet in a rhythm that matches your own heartbeats. In this course your competition is just yourself and you set the pace too. I have always looked trouble in the face and either found a way around it or over it, I have found painfully that wandering straight into it blindly will leave you groping in the darkness, but sometimes trouble comes in the form of a maze where you have to cautiously find your way to the other side without getting lost. This last kind is the one that I encountered and I am happy to say that I am on the other side with a smile on my face. Sunshine greets me as the wind runs her hand through my hair.

??????

Bad day. Life never dishes out anything that you want since most of the time what you want from life as much as it may sound very fair is the most difficult thing you could ever have asked for. It just makes me sad. Complexities in life are governed by the nothing more that the complexities of the human mind. We as a race are capable of complicating things well beyond the point of need and necessity and even our own understanding. Finding solutions to the problems that we ourselves invented has become the a game that most people enjoy playing.

Rough Beginings

Do you know days when you come into the office and all you want is drink your morning coffee and get on with the day coz you know that you have a ton of work to do, but then you get into the office and you get side tracked by everything thats going on and the coffee that you got at starbucks sits and goes cold. Its about 10 am when you notice the coffee and you go Oh shit, now I gotta heat up the goddamn coffee in the microwave and then you forget about that too. Then after the rough day you go home and get into an argument with your girlfriend and miss out on the work that you planned on doing at home. This seems to be a week filled with days like these. And on top of everything I have a dentist appointment today, I hate dentist appointments. But as one of my friends Greta said Be true to your teeth or they will be false to you.. Have a good one everyone

Weekend

So .. trying to figure out some stuff "programming nonsense" but thats no biggy. I still havent found the time to start my D & D blog and bring it up to full speed maybe Ill do it tomorrow. The thing is I have two weeks of gaming to catch up and I also have to write out my character descriptions for all the characters,maybe tomorrow. Today there are more important things to do. Like work. I watched Ladykillers yesterday. Seemed like a pretty good movie, had its moments. Courtney didnt like it coz it seemed to her that there were too many racial innuendoes. Anywayz.. seemed funny to me. I have the movie Dune and I need to watch it. Maybe if I get some work today I will find the time for it. So long friends

Skinny Tuesday

An uneventful day. D&D got cancelled last night and I havent posted any stories yet either. Well you have to get time to do that kind of stuff. I havent had the time. This weekend was good though. Me and Courtney went and danced our asses off and some wise gay guy had the nerves to tell me that Im an oppressed gay guy. It was kinda fun though watching him trying to hit on me and then when I told him that I have a girlfriend he became the wise gay guy. LOL :)
Then came the recovering sunday, I watched four movies. Flight of the phoenix was better than I thought it would be so that was good, SAW is one of those pointless creepy movies to satisfy the minds of people who like gory creepy things, Bend it like Beckham was a light hearted movie that I really enjoyed even though some of the stuff in it did not come as a surprise to me - well because I am Indian and yeah Oh Brother where art thou? that was good. I have been wanting to see it for a long time and finally did and I liked it as much as I thought I would. The only problem that resulted from all this movie watching is that I was late for work on Monday but no problems with that since I got all the work done that I needed to do. Then yesterday I watched Jet Li in the Legend of the Red Dragon - which was pretty funny with all the funny and probly incorrect Chinese to English translations. The new Ray Romano movie Eulogy was pretty funny though - I laughed quite a bit while eating New York Cherry Cheese Cake Icecream.

And today at the office that was fun ofcourse. Lots of boring work and writing tons of emails.
