11 things....

Eleven things I want people to know about me, since I don't know if I will have time to talk about all of this on my death bed:
0) I shot myself twice with a BB gun. Once below my lung...since it was through a shirt I pulled up my arm sleeve and shot myself on the bicep on the bare skin...ofcourse I drew blood on the second occasion...why did I do it? I don't know...
1) I can't tie my shoe laces correctly. If I tie them they come undone in 2 hours...if I am running on the treadmill they will most certainly undo and I have to stop and tie them back again.
2) Everytime I hit the restroom most of the times, if not everytime, I forget to pull my zipper up
3) Everytime I drink from a can or coffee mug and when I bring it down, I most certainly will splash some on my nose or eyes.
4) If I am careful not to commit (3) I will definitely spill some on my shirt or pant
5) When I cook, I will always add more salt than required...ending up having to throw what I cooked away
6) I like to listen to metal, I listen to it when I am asleep, when I am awake and in between. I hate it when someone interrupts me.
7) I have weak triceps
8) I am actually very dumb...people who already know this will concur
9) I am afraid of going bald...guess this is every man's nightmare...
10) I'd like to die at the time and manner of my choosing, I dont want to live to be too old and become senile and dependent

Monster, Red Bull....very nice...

I used to be hooked on Energy drinks just for the kick of it. I gave up on them sometime back and seem to have started again...

Well they aren't that bad for you...except maybe the Panax, Sorbic, Acid, Benzoic Acid, Inositol, Pyrioxine Hydrochloride and cyanocobalamin...and ofcourse your regulars like Caffeine, Taurine and Inositol...

Baaahhhhh!!!

Time is cyclic...?

From one of my emails I had sent...

Think about it…the world is going to end in 5 years…we aren’t god’s children, we are lab mice put on this planet by some higher force (NOT GOD!) for it’s amusement to see how we interact with one another…probably an inter-galactic reality show…
When our race gets wiped out off the face of this earth or is on the brink of it, every petty thing we ever worried about will nag us…
Everyone who performed ‘homams’ and ‘mantras’ and did good will die and realize that there isn’t a heaven or hell…when they die they just die…
300,000 people wiped out by the tsunami, were they chosen ones? Were they all criminals? Were they all bad? Babies, children, orphans…sure! I am telling you when doom hits us, it will see no difference between you and me…

The moral of the story is…enjoy your brief stay here

Funny things happen to me...

I probably shared these incidents with everyone I know but I thought I'd mention it here:
A few Years ago:
My first few days in Arizona State University and I attended the Institute of Industrial Engineers meet up. Now they had something called 'pepperoni' pizza. Now we dont have pepperoni in India and my deduction was it was peppered onions. I look at it and those red circular discs looked more like sun dried tomatoes to me. So I pick up my slice and sit between this hot brazilian girl known only as 'Oreo' and my friend. I take a bite of it and it tasted weird. I just shrugged and took a bigger bite. My friend was giggling in the middle of the meeting and whispered "Hey dude, that's pork". I turned pale and spat the contents on my plate. The girl next to me jumped up. I grabbed the minute maid from her hand stood up and gulped it all down, most of the drink falling all over my shirt. The meeting came to a grinding halt while I ran out of the room to throw up.
A couple of semesters later I was the Vice-President of that very organization...the irony!

Some Morning:
I checked on the new 'organic' bananas that I had bought. It's been a week now and they haven't turned yellow yet.

That Evening:
Today I was ready to wrap up work and go home, so I started closing all applications on my laptop. 5 minutes later I realized that I had forgotten that I supposed to leave. I was just sitting there for 5 minutes staring at my monitor.
2 cups of tall coffee, 1 cup of non fat extra hot latte, 1 tazo chai and 1 red bull could do that to you...

Later that night...
I come back home and check on the bananas again. It's then that sudden feeling hits me...
They ARE green bananas!! I have decided to finish one in the morning, two for lunch and one before I go to bed. They are ripe and tasty now :)

My top 10 of all time...

So I sorted my songs on my iTunes by play count and this is the top 10 songs I have listened to:
1) Push It - Static-X
2) I am with Stupid - Static -X
3) Bled for Days - Static-X
4) Different Problem Same Solution - Violent Work of Art
5) Closer - Nine Inch Nails
6) New World Order - Violent Work of Art
7) Sweat of the Bud - Static-X
8) Violent Work of Art - COMA
9) Got the Life - Korn
10) Duality - Slipknot

I am a big NIN fan so only one song featuring from Trent Reznor kind of sucks, but a top 20 would have gotten more NIN songs. Static-X rocks anytime! This list will change once I start listening to KMFDM. Their song 'Power' is in one word - Amazing!!

Then there is Rammstein, which I listen on my iPod all the time. Zwitter, Sonne and Stripped are awesome.

Then there is Bodies by Drowning Pool. The list goes on...

You, Me and Nintendo Wii

So Preetha got me the Nintento Wii for my birthday! Earlier we had previewed it at one of my friend's house and I knew at that moment I was either going to get the Wii or steal it.

So it was a pleasant surprise when I got it. Immediately I shut out all my senses and started playing the Wii Sports ( I am a pro in tennis now and climbing up rapidly :))

Things have changed a lot now.

Picture this. I am playing tennis and get a difficult point and I shoult "Who the man?...WHO DA MAN....?......"
Preetha is all angry by now and walks up and says "Hey...what is more important...me or that?"
I simultaneously shout "We (Wii) da man....WIIIII"
All she hears is 'Wiii'

Preetha thinks it is a threat, but I think she has already lost the fight...lol!

I don't blame her. It's like being married to two women and trying to attend to both is a trick :)

On a lighter note though, this is a great toy to have! I get a great workout everytime I am done playing a few games of tennis or a few rounds of boxing.
