I have been promising for several months that I will go back to writing more regularly that I have been doing. But I haven’t been able to do so for lack of time. Plus I already spend so much time on the computer all day long that I am beginning to see the early-signs of RSI on my hands and so when I do have some time I at least attempt to stay away from the computer or refrain from typing much even if I am at the computer (BTW, using the thumb to press controls keys is a bad idea).
But I am slowly realizing that in the absence of other avenues, blogging is critical to my mental health since it is the vent that lets the excess thinking in my measly little brain escape in to the expanse of the web. The web has become the garbage dump for the thoughts that I cannot or do not share with other humans. There are so many occassion through out each day when I thnk of different things I could post to the web. Thoughts about people. About classes. About feelings (whew, I said that?) About expectations, hopes and disappointments (fromt he macro level to the micro level). But alas either I can’t do a post right there and then, or am too am too lazy to write them down to post about them later. Plus it doesn’t help that the current structure of this site requires me to manually update the information in two places! (I manually copy the blog entries from the blogs listed below to the what’s new blog). So that is something I need to fix in the near future.
Anyhow, the good news is that I have posted some of my more recent thoughts on the blogs and so there is finally some new content! 
And I think in an attempt to maintain my mental health, I will probably try to resort to more frequent posts. The key thing I have to remind myself about from time to time is what I said in the About section of this site. “This site is not for you… it’s for me.” It is for me to post what I think ad feel… and it doesn’t matter what you may think of me for sharing my thoughts.

Me: Right now the pumpkin lemma sounds better to me.
- While working on the Automata assignment
Ramu: “Why don’t you just get artificial ones?”
Me: “Why don’t you just get a blow-up doll!?”
Ramu: “Why don’t you go f#$% yourself!”
- an unusually witty response even though I say so myself
