Debentures

This word always reminds me of dentures. Debentures. Dentures.

The scene: Me + pjs + sweatshirt + my couch + tv turned off
The story so far : It's Monday night and I have a bunch of things to do online (work & personal) before I go to bed tonight. But (yes, I know that it is not correct to start sentences with but) I am tired after a long day at work and a good workout session in the evening. Plus (yes, I am also aware that it is incorrect to start a sentence with plus) I had a good dinner so I am sleepy. Dear SR has suggested that I do the obvious and procrastination but I decided to try to novel approach i.e. blog as you go. So will she get through the to-do list or won't she? Find out in the next update of this post.

9.16 PM : I lit some candles for no particular reason and upped the thermostat. I am now socked i.e. wearing socks.

9.16 PM : Y alerts me that the Giants are owning the Redskins. Monday night football!

9.21 PM : I was worried I wouldn't get through any of the items on the list thanks to the game. But I am saved. I don't get espn. Turned off tv and moving on.

9.37 PM : One item done. Time for some hot water.

9.42 PM : Item 2 is done. It is still time for some hot water.

9.53 PM : Items 3 and 4 done. It is seriously time for some hot water!

10.48 PM : 5 done and 6 and 7 underway. Will get hungry very soon.

11.17 PM : I think I got through all of them! Or at least, the ones that I can remember now. Question : is it a good idea to go to bed hungry? Is there a good chance that I'll sleep right through the hunger and just get up as hungry as a bear post hibernation tomorrow morn? I have done this before but I can't remember how it all ended.

11.20 PM : Time to go a-hunting in the fridge.

And so, after a little nibble, to bed.

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

fractious

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...
