Racing like a pro

Racing Like A Pro

You're pink you're young you're middle-class
they say it doesn't matter
fifteen blue shirts and womanly hands
you're shooting up the ladder

Your mind is racing like a pro, now
oh my god it doesn't mean a lot to you
one time you were a glowing young ruffian
oh my god it was a million years ago

Sometimes you get up and bake a cake or something
sometimes you stay in bed
sometimes you go la di da di da di da da
til your eyes roll back into your head

Your mind is racing like a pro, now
oh my god it doesn't mean a lot to you
one time you were a glowing young ruffian
oh my god it was a million years ago

you're dumbstruck baby
you're dumbstruck baby now you know
you're dumbstruck baby
you're dumbstruck baby now you know

Your mind is racing like a pro, now
oh my god it doesn't mean a lot to you
one time you were a glowing young ruffian
oh my god it was a million years ago

you're dumbstruck baby
you're dumbstruck baby now you know
you're dumbstruck baby
you're dumbstruck baby now you know
you're dumbstruck baby

This song really too full of hurt. I should never ever listen to it..

Still alive :)

Long time, no post. Have been unwell. The computer had crashed. The Internet was skewed up. Oh, I have a million excuses, one for all occasions :)
But this blog is not dead! Far from it :)
A nice little site I found a few days ago.

Rain always makes things seem better

It unleashes the romance in me, with the help of long drives and hot tea. And a huge bag of Mad Angles :)

Just to fill up space I am making a list of ten random things about me. Simply because I never did it before, and always wanted to :)

1. My secret dream is to be an artist or a musician.
2. I love making lists, especially lists of chores, with little tabs and folders, all colour co-ordinated :)
3. I hate cellphones, the internet, the computer. But without these, I would be jobless ;)
4. I would love try out street photography, but I am too shy and too nervous. What if someone notices me? :-S
5. I can say the stupidest things in the oddest places. Major foot-in-the-mouth syndrome.
6. I am never bored of my own company. I sometimes prefer it to other peoples ;)
7. I wish I had straight hair, but looks like that is one wish that will never come true.
8. I actually love my job, especially the design part ... not so much the usability gig :)
9. I can't cook...but trying to remedy that.
10. I learnt to drive at the age of 24. I have had driving teachers since I was 18. Three people have tried to teach me and failed. Finally I just got out on my own and drove around. So yeah, in all six years of learning curve :)

The day in brands

I came across this blog post by a Jane Sample and was inspired to map one day in brands. I notice that the software logos are prettier than my cosmetics and clothes logos :)

Guitar :)

Me strumming away, with huge glasses. The blur on my right hand proves that I was playing :)

Song stuck in my head Sheryl Crow- Sweet child o' mine. As songs go, not a bad song to be stuck in one's head actually.

A rather productive day

I felt very accomplished yesterday. I spent half the day working and reading...work-stuff. I drove the car, all the way to my guitar class (very well too I might add). My guitar class was great! I have been moved from the beginners-back-room to the front-room where the actually good guitar kids practise...I am not so good, but I am learning fast and catching up quickly. I have a cheap Indian guitar at home, which I play irregularly.
Looking at my increasing weight, I have finally given in and decided to join a gym. I have been against the idea for a long time, since I dislike gyms, their small airless spaces and perpetual ting of sweatiness in the air. However, my balooning weight leaves me no choice.
However in my sense of triumph, I have forgotten to do several vital chores, like paying bills and stuff. So I will have to sneak out during lunch hour on Monday to do the same.

A lot of questions in my life right now. But I am trying not to let it get to me...I am the perpetual worry-about :)

But as Rainer Maria Rilke put it;
"Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart.
Try to love the questions themselves,
At present you need to live the question,
Perhaps you will gradually without even noticing it,
find yourself experiencing the answer"
