Two weeks in twenty minutes.

10:52p.m. October 09, 2006.

Hola. It ain't easy to cram in a fortnight of stuff into a twenty minute window but I'll try -) Lot less time and shitloads of catchin' up. This is gonna be fun :)

Family. As most of my near and dear know by now, I'm an uncle since today morning. My brother became a daddy to a baby boy and this is big for my family. Superbowl, as they say. My elation does overshadow the disappointment that I'm away from my family, swallowed by my everyday routine but its allright. This is the price I pay for the choice I made.

Social life. Aftermath of the "Yeah, You. W'dup D" blog. Wonder no more. She didn't call me. Its all good -)) I believe that if you wanna be a soldier, you should be ready to take some bullets. As long as I'm fighting, I'll be happy -) If you were itching to comment, feel free to fire away :) One thing I would say is this. Its impossible to read a woman's mind and I'll gladly succumb to that fact of life !

Work. Been crazy busy offlate but I'm loving the challenges and the little victories. Making a lot of new friends, homies and haters but thoroughly enjoying the process -) I'm really glad to be a part of an awesome team and I've established a *brotherhood* at work. Organized a Ping Pong tournament several weeks ago; Organizing a Shuffleboard tournament this week. Hopefully, the trend will continue!

Home. Love my new place. Roomy, antique and suave (at least that's what I think). A rooftop with a sexy view of the skyline and really, stone's throw from the Soldier Field. Go Bears! No HD, but I've gotten over it. So what? I don't watch much TV anyway, if not for sports. And by the time the baseball season begins next year, I'd have HD so its not all that bad.

News. Its my homeboy and my confidante's birthday this week. I owe that boy a lot and I wish the best shit for him -) Another old friend whose company I've missed sorely is visiting me this week. I have a gig coming up where we'll be performing together. Can't ask for more! Last but not the least, its my lil sis's birthday this week. Hell yeah, she'll be getting a gift from her big bro :) Damn, she's grown up so fast that I can't believe she's almost ready for marriage. Nuts!

Finally, da Bears. I'd kill to see them go all-the-way (courtesy: chris burman) without a doubt!! The City of Chicago needs this, more than anything else!

11.15p.m. I overshot by 3 minutes, I guess.

// Adios //

And shit hits the fan. For real.

Warning: I'm not whining here, I'm merely sharing my day :) Next time you say "life sucks", please think twice.

I moved in to my new apartment (South loop) yesterday. Slept over at my friends place in the burbs and got to the city today morning and heck, I had no idea how messed up the day was gonna be.

First thing in the morning, I try to park my car in the tightest fucking space on earth in my garage and I hit the pillar which separates the parking spots from each other. Voila, a 1000$ dent on my car. beautiful.

Walk upto to my house, decided to pee and noticed the level of water was high in the toilet. Tried to flush just to be safe than sorry and the cummode overfills and flooded my restroom. Perfect.

Wanted to take a shower, but couldn't find the shower curtain. I finally locate it, but the restroom rod which takes the shower curtain came undone. No shower curtain, no shower. Fuck.

Washed up as much as I could, got to work all messed up and a long fucking day. I mentally zoned out, imagined issues with my code that wasn't there, re-wrote my code only to realize that the error was never there (fuck browsers and caching) and stopped the compile in the last minute.

Finally, got out of work to find out that it was raining like a mofo. Waited 20 mins for a taxi, stopped at white hen, got some beer, ran home all drenched up like a drenched chicken in the rain (mazhaila nanainja kozhi)

Finally entered the house only to hear that the cable company providing service to my apartment provides only 60 basic channels, no HD and no scope for Sun TV. All this at least until next May. Bollocks.

Decided to write a blog but now I realize that I don't know where my laptop charger/adapter is and I'm about to run out of battery. So, I'm gonna wrap up, stare at my ceiling for a bit until i finish my beer and dinner and hit the bed.

So, if you said "life sucks" today for not so "sucky" reasons, feel free to beat yourself with a shoe :) And oh, don't call me and ask me about my blog. Shit happens, its all good :) I'm just blogging here to vent my anger so that the frustration doesn't carry over tomorrow.

Now, with your permission, I'd like to scream out a loud, resounding FUCKKK!!!!
