Irregardless

This certainly was the word of the weekend so I had to use it as my title.

I apologize to all my dear readers for leaving you hanging on the cliff hanger that is my life, but I had to enjoy my long weekend vacation. It certainly was a vacation of the highest quality. Came back rested, relaxed, well-laughed and a little drunk on the sunshine. Some day folks will study me and figure out I was a vine all along which is why I am all about sunshine.

My blog has often been accused of having little entertainment and no information. As a rebuttal, here is some information. Dante's Divine Comedy is not a comedy. It has some amount of divinity involved but no comedy. Either that or this dude's sense of humor sucks. I started reading it a few days ago and I am not too pleased with it. I will, however, continue to read this for a while because I am a masochist.

I saw the most glorious scene this evening. I just got off my flight and was getting out of the airport feeling bad about having to wait for half an hour for the shuttle ( it runs every half hour and I thought I would just have missed the one at 7) when I looked out of the double doors at the exit and spotted the shuttle just about to pull out of the stop. I ran towards the bus, teetering under the weight of my heavy backpack and managed to catch the driver's attention just in time. Having given him a you-saved-my-life-thank-you-so-much! smile, I was extremely happy as I settled into my seat. (Side note : Having grown up in an extremely populous nation, I have a deep and abiding respect for mostly empty/sparsely filled buses.) I was sitting next to a window and enjoying the nice, warm, summer day when the bus went over a slight bridge and turned right. Right there, for about 2-3 mins, I had the straight, uninterrupted view of the setting sun. This huge orange ball bang in the middle of my window. It was one of the awesomest sights ever.

Windows - they are one of my favorite things. The world would be a much better place with more windows. More windows, less cubicles. Time to sleep.

I had seriously missed the meanderings of your mind! :-)

I agree about windows though - for the first time my desk has a window above it, so if i glance up from my monitor, I see green of trees and blue of the sky. Nothing beats it!

grammar nazi here again...irregardless, on the other hand, is not even a real word. it is an incorrect double-negative portmanteau that's been perpetuated by residents of boston (not kidding, ask wikipedia). irregardless of its correctness, it is not even a noun.

Metronome

I'm chasing after you in the gathering dusk, you're racing far ahead, fading into the sunset. Can't catch up to you, can't hold on to you, always looking back, wondering when I first lost you. And this sand in the hour glass, it's rushing fast. This river of continuum, it gushes past. The clock unwinds, the moon tugs the tides, while I'm caught in between what was and will be. So I'm letting go, I'm tired of the chase I'll find some peace in this moment's embrace. Just take my hand in yours, let's run to the daybreak and burst into this life, finally awake. Finis

It's been a good set of days. The week itself was fun, what with hanging out with folks on Wed - and before I forget, here's a shout out to "S" and "Y" for reading/pretending to read by blog and requesting to star in it ;-) - and watching "Up" the next day with the usual gang (awesome movie!). P was flying in on Friday and a few hours before his departure from O, it was decided that we would attempt to hike up Mt.Washington. As usual it was a slightly imbalanced plan. Late Friday night, I set out to pick him up from the hour-away airport. Somehow this turned into a road trip for 3 of my concerned friends. Suffice to say that there were bad jokes a plenty and some rather interesting conversation. Randomness abounds in my life. Anyways, it was around 2 am by the time we crashed and I actually managed to be up by 6.30 am the next morning. By 8.30 we were showered, breakfasted and packed and P was armed with enough stuff to survive a hurricane and live...

Today I rediscovered one of my first loves. The joy of writing. Of actually writing with pen and paper. Felt great to just sit down and write - the pen moving at a steady pace as blue lines of letters filled up the blank pages and thoughts flowed out of my mind and onto the paper. Here is the result. Everything has lead me to you. All the moments in my life - happy, sad, purposeful and random. All the choices that I made and the ones that were thrust upon me. All the people I met and the ones that I missed. All my friends and all my acquaintances. Everything that mattered and everything that didn't. Like the time I forgot my keys and went back up the elevator to my place and met T for the first time. All the conversations that I overheard and the calls that got dropped. The movies and stories. The songs that I love and even the bad ones that I couldn't help but hum 'cause they got stuck in my head. All the books that I read and all the places that I lived. All the jobs that...
