grasp...

fingertips…
most sensitive to touch…yet
it takes the entire hand
to hold and protect.
much like love.
and loyalty.

when infinity is wounded
in its very heart
we become aware
we are not loved anymore

Itinerary of my Life

This past month, I’ve had plenty to blog about, but no time to indulge in the therapeutic pastime that blogging has become.

To put it mildly, it’s been a pretty busy especially these 'weeks'.

In no particular order, I’ve:

• NOT Slept. Not more than a total of 2 hours. In 3 weeks. I know, I have developed a serious chronic insomnia.
• Fallen down a flight of stairs, passed out for about 4.3 seconds and experienced a mild concussion.
• Spent way too much time staring the rain drops falling down on bemire through my room's window . Those are minutes – no, hours – that I was delusionally thinking on silly senseless things.
• Working madly on the report which I need to submit by the end of August.
• Belly danced my way in front of the mirror into a minor cardiac arrest, it felt like.
• Dashed a car while reversing my car back during parking. And called the car's owner an idiot for parking his car at wrong place and all while the policeman around surreptitiously ignored my existence, inspite it was that car owner's mistake.
• Spent an entire 30 minutes fuming at the incompetence of a lab attender from my lab, and when the 30 minutes were over, reached the conclusion that I require anger management therapy. ASAP.
• Gotten married, apparently, and immediately produced 13 children, all of whom have very eerie smiles. (Oooohhh, you’re gonna LOVE this one.) You see, I have been thinking a lot on this matter of producing a large spawn LOL, least after having observed my own brother for raising three monsterous kids.
• Been hired as a baby sitter(can you believe it??) where all I have to do is play there and scream at those monsterous creatures (I am so good at screaming). And spend my precious time looking after them (why on earth am doing this after all?). I seriously got to find some way out.
• Decided that this year, the priorities are reading novels, reading novels, reading novels and reading novels. Boredom will never be an option.
  

In conclusion, I vow to provide detailed posts explaining all of the above. Especially, the baby sitting stories where those three *ahmmm monsters...* woops, did I tell monsters...Oh, I mean angels are making my life a very happy place to live. *smiles forcibly*

Game

Life...
a strange game.
Sometimes the only winning move
is not to
Play...

Appreciate

I guess I could be really pissed off about what happened to me, but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst. And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain. And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday.

Can you make out from which movie that quote was? I remember, when I first watched that movie I couldn't make head or tail of those words. I guess now, I understand.

Oh I wish...

Sometimes I wish I were a 'Cloud'
to wonder freely away
from my skin
from my mind
from my thoughts.
And when I get tired
I would rest on the 'Rainbow'
thus I shall be
the most colorful
the most amazing
the most precious 'Cloud'
ever seen.
Too bad,
I am just 'myself'

Life and death

Death
is just a matter of time...
Life
is a time that matters temporarily

I'm with you

Im standing on the bridge
Im waiting on the dark
I thought that you'd be here
by now
Ther's nothing but the rain
no foot steps on the ground
Im listening but ther's
no sound

Isn't anyone trying to find me
Won't somebody come take me home

it's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but I
Im with you
Im with you

Im looking for a place
Im searching for a face
Is anybody here
I know

Cause nothing's going right And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be
alone

Isn't anyone trying to find me
Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I
Im with you
Im with you

Oh

Why is every thing so confusing? Maybe Im just out of my mind

Yeah yeah yeah...

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't Know Who You are
But I
Im with you
Im with you
Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't Know Who You are
But I
Im with you
Im with you

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't Know Who You are
But I
Im with you
Im with you

Useless pieces of information

Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten. (Naaz's take: I can think of a few cat-lover buddies of mine who would be interested in this random piece of info.)

The common goldfish is the only animal that can see both infra-red and ultraviolet light. (Naaz's take: I will be using this piece of information the next time someone tells me I have the attention span/memory of a gold fish. Somehow, I'll be able to incorporate this info, I'm sure of it.)

It takes a lobster approximately seven years to grow to be one pound. (I've never tried lobster. I wonder if I'd like it? Is it too fishy??)

Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors. (Naaz's take: Perfect example of random piece of info that is pretty useless. Except now, I'll be thinking of Leo everytime I pick up a pair of scissors, I'm sure of it!)

An iguana can stay under water for 28 minutes. (Naaz's take: Attacked by an iguana? Thinking of how to save yourself? We don't recommend death by drowning. It would take a while.)

And you know what? I came to know today from a magazine that South Africa is the only country with three official capitals: Pretoria, Cape Town and Bloemfontein.
