Wannabe In Some Knee Ache


Left to myself,
I would'nt go there.
For the time is short,
And I need to get elsewhere.

Oh! How I wish I was
The loyal prince who stayed.
If not for fourteen years,
A month and a half is fine.

They say It helps
To gather your thoughts,
And they say, not going
Might kill the grey ones upstairs.

As the needle ticks,
The material body pleads
And the mind's drifting away.
The guilty circle strikes again.

You're almost at the point,
Where you stop making sense.
You feel that you can go on,
But your eyes tell another tale.

What started up there,
Will make the curtains fall, and then,
A darkness beyond the light,
The Dreams, the journey and the spite.

What started tonight,
Shall end tomorrow,
But the journey is something,
You'd rather not recollect.

I leave thee here,
signing off fore' the fat one sings.
Shut the light for heavens sake,
- A wannabe in some knee ache.

Eatable Quotes - Determination

Procrastination and Lying to oneself are means we find to run away from our fears. We tire eventually, and it all comes down to how strong our resolve to win is.

Chances

Open skies, up for grabs
Lets Take away.
Lonely roads and the sun 
Has gone away.
Wont you tell me now, If you will come
My way.
Coz I need to know what I'll hear
And what I'll say.

Dont tell me
That I cant fly.
Nothing seems
The way it is, tonight
Dont tell me 
I can be no higher
I'm rushing headlong 
into life.

Here I go, again.

Standing by, As paths cross over
Voices calling out
Spacing out on a cloudy day
I lose myself.
Move on and give tomorrow, another chance
Be yourself.
Another lesson, another vision
Another day.

Dont tell me
That I cant fly.
Nothing seems
The way it is, tonight
Dont tell me 
I can be no higher
I'm rushing headlong 
into life.

Here I go, again.

Mobile photography - 1

I recently learned that I could transfer snaps from my cell phone, to a mac using bluetooth. This opened up new horizons with respect to photography for me. I'm gonna be posting a series of snaps taken on my phone... and will associate each snap with one of my many favourite songs.. Engage your senses.. observe,listen, enjoy....

Adventures of Intern man - 2 : The DirecTV saga

I - man spots his next victim at the career fair. DirecTV was destined to a fateful meeting with I - man, it seemed.

As I walk towards the person who beckoned to me, the analytical skills of I - man inform me with 92.6 % certainty that the guy is a hardware person. A smile and a nod and a hello.

"Hi, I'm John, I'm with the software development group at direcTV, How are you doing today?"..........
Dang it!
Not to fear! I - man knows his way around with software too.

I- man : I'm looking for a summer int...
Software guy from DTV: How good are you at Java?
I- man : Never dunnit...
Software guy from DTV: Perl?
I- man : Errrrr....
Software guy from DTV: C/C++
I- man : (Strike 1 .. muhaahhahaa) Yeah. of course.. yes... that's right..
Software guy from DTV: Oh! good... Have you ever worked on multi - thread programming?
I- man : multi what? why?..

Awkward silence..........

I-man : C'ya...(right about turn .. forward march...develops into a steady jog... picks up speed and runs away as fast as possible).

Another adventure, another company, another day... another broken feather in I - man's cap.
Over and out.

Of Reason and Rhyme

Here in the land of Uncle Sam,
Life's just a Wham a Bam and a Slam.
I wake up again, another day to cram,
Sometimes I feel, Is this all I am?
(I actually dont.. but nothing else seemed to rhyme this well!)

Materialism - immaterial?

You've gotta be materialistic.... to an extent. That's the point of being in the material world. If we could survive on feelings emotions and the sort, we'd be angels.. would'nt we?
