Eavesdropped!

And that night, we knew that to hold the body of women in our arms is neither ugly nor shameful – but the one ecstacy granted to the race of Men.

Thought -- caught in the act!

Another Taliban in the making

Several people forwarded me and article from the New York Times – Hindu Nationalists are Enrolling, and Enlisting India’s Poor. I think by now most of the frequent readers of this site are well aware of my stance against any and all religious movements primarily for the reasons such as those outlined in this article… religion is the pinnacle of mass mind-control – and that is exactly what happened in Afghanistan with the Taliban and that is what any such religious education will create in the future as well.

I guess the bottomline remains that people are screwed in the head and it is never really going to be possible to eradicate such behavior from human society. The scum of society will contantly rise to the surface and every so often we will need to go in and clean the pond.

I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful

So unloved for someone so fine

I can feel so boring for someone so interesting

So ignorant for someone of sound mind

Biding time…

My postings on sneaker.org have ben far and few in recent weeks. Haven’t had the motivation to really post information for a while, but it’s revealed itself to be something I need to continue doing from time to time to maintain perspective and sanity and more importantly just to vent. Still am not in a position to write about some things, but here is at some new content…

New in Thought — caught in the act!* on Monday, May 13, 2002

  • Another Taliban in the making – The scum of society will contantly rise to the surface and every so often we will need to go in and clean the pond.
  • Writing about not writing – The primary reason is probably the return of ambivalence in terms of what information I can and cannot share in a public medium.

  • Las Vegas – And not to forget the highlight of my Vegas trip… Blue Man Group. They ROCK. Go see it. Enough said!

  • Bitches. Just bitches. – sneaker
  • “So are you telling me that the customer is a mental midget?” – a brilliant response from a customer service agent requesting assistance on an issue where the customer just wasn’t understanding how to do something.
  • “I can’t even count how many women I’ve slept with” – One of the female executives of a partner startup company as we exchanged notes on how in the early days of our companies we doubled up people in hotels/ on trips in order to save costs.
  • “It’s all about chicks man, it’s all about chicks” – Random drunk guy in the back of a cab in Cambridge who motioned us to put the window down while I was parked next to the cab at a stop light so that he could tell us his deep thoughts!
  • “Are you guys gay?” – Roxanne. – okay, okay, there is no story behind that other than my friend who I was visiting happens to live in an area which is considered the gay-area (he claims he didn’t know before he moved there.. yeah right 😉 ) And so when his neighbor saw three of us guys returning late at night, she asked us… “Are you guys gay” (maybe I should also menion that she was so drunk that we were afraid she wouldn’t make it up the steps okay).
  • Things you own end up owning you. – the chracter of Tyler Durden in Fight Club
  • Baker. – the character of Dominic Pizzola in The Bread My Sweet
  • we’d gather around all in a room

    fasten our belts engage in dialogue

    we’d all slow down rest without guilt

    not lie without fear disagree sans judgement

    we would stay and respond and expand and include

    and allow and forgive and enjoy and evolve

    and discern and inquire and accept and admit

    and divulge and open and reach out and speak up

    this is utopia this is my utopia

    this is my ideal my end in sight

    utopia this is my utopia

    this is my nirvana

    my ultimate

    – lyrics to Alanis Morrisette’s song Utopia in the album Under Rug Swept

  • It takes more strength of character to wear your heart on your sleeve than to guard it like a fort. – Annie in a comment in response to The Fallacy of Free Speech
