Update

Added a lot more links to blogs that I visit regularly... and I'm using blogrolling now... Its pretty darn good..

P.S.: Age of Mythology (The sequel to the sequel of Age of Empires) is very very very addictive... :)

my lyrics for today:
Maybe I'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you

As long as the planets are turning, as long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are coming true, you better believe it

That I would do anything for love, and I'll be there til the final act
I would do anything for love, and I'll take a vow and seal a pact

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight
And I would do anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no I won't do that
........
Some days I pray for silence, and somedays I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N Roll
Some nights I lose the feeling, and some nights I lose control
Some nights I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls

Maybe I'm lonely and that's all I'm qualified to be
There's just one and only, the one and only promise I can keep

As long as the wheels are turning, as long as the fires are burning
As long as your prayers are coming true, you better believe it

That I would do anything for love, and you know it's true and that's a fact
I would do anything for love, and there'll never be no turning back

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so long
And I would do anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, no no no I won't do that

Meatloaf : I would do anything for love (but I wont do that)

Note: A one hit wonder, Meatloaf never actually could come up with something as good as this ever again... But this one is just so good... I heard it after a long long time today and I loved it...

P.P.S.: I just remembered another Meatloaf song.. Its pretty obscure and I heard it only because it was on a tape that I own.. Its a very good mix tape and believe it or not I bought it for the songs 'Always' by Erasure (its a good listen, once in a while) and 'I swear' by All-4-One (I know, what was I thinking ;))... Neways, back to the Meatloaf song, its called (believe it or not) 'Objects in the rear view mirror appear closer than they are'... JESUS H. CHRIST... Now who would ever come up with a song like that ???

I AM DEFENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its scheduled for the last week of Feb... A long time away but STILL... ITS DECIDED!!!!! AND I AM FREAKING PUMPED!!!! YEAH THATS RIGHT... I'M FREAKING SHOUTING IT OUT LOUD!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

P.S.: Monday, Feb 28th 2005. 4:00 P.M. .... yup.. thats the date and time....

What would you like to be?

A new year... its been a while since I wrote something here... Dont know why the freak have I not had the time... Cuz I hardly have been doing anything else.. Oh well.. I've been playing a lot of Madden 2003.. Its a football game (the american kind )... its a LOT of fun... and unlike real life, my team actually wins - which is good.. Life goes on.. not the way it should but then, who am I to complain? I hate my choice of career.. which is not a good sign ;)......... oh well.. I remember last year we talked about 'if you can be anything you want, unrealistic or real, what would it be?' thing.. mine was to be a formula 1 driver... But here's an actual list of what I would really love to be, if I had the choice:

1. Music Reviewer - As my best friend recently told me, this would be the best job for me cuz I'm just so freaking crazy about music...
2. Writer - That was what I wanted to be all through school and right before I joined BIT... damn was that a bad decision or what.. Anyways, now I realize that I'm not much of a writer.. so cant really be one :)
3. Sportsperson - I feel awe when I look at anyone who is a sportsperson.. Its just something that takes lots of hard work and dedication.. I love the highs of a victory... It would've been a great choice of profession had I been good at anything ;)..
4. Botanist - Yeah yeah.. I know... That sounds geeky... But I actually took up bio in school because I wanted to be one... Infact I was gonna do either English or Botany in my undergrad had I not gotten through that stupid BIT entrance... Always loved nature and wud've enjoyed studying it closely..
5. House Husband - Its been my ultimate ambition.. For a long time now... I mean, marry this rich girl and just stay home.. cook, clean and takecare of the kids.. full time job... amazing pay and awesome benefits.. now who wudnt want that.. Problem is, I also want to own a ferrari... and these two things can never go hand in hand :)...

Now why dont you guys tell me your top 5 choices of professions, besides the one that you are already pursuing... and please, no game programmers ;)

My lyrics for today:

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
...

(Green Day: Boulevard of broken dreams)
Note: This is such an amazing song.. A must hear.. Just go download it and listen to it.. the lyrics.. and Green Day is mindblowing with the music as always.. Another great Green Day song is Good Riddance (a.k.a. Time of your life)...

Auld Lang Syne

They say that what you do on the first day of the year, generally reflects what you are going to do for the rest of the year.. Now I dont believe in that at all.. I am a skeptic (its a euphemism actually ;)).. I always doubt accepted beliefs and this one is outrageous anyways... Anyhoo, this time, I met my match I guess... The year that started at the La Quinta Inn in Miami, which was followed by a 4 hour drive to Orlando airport, followed by a 1 hr flight to Atlanta airport, followed by a 2 1/2 hrs flight to Minneapolis airport followed by a 2 1/2 hr drive to Duluth (reached home at around 2:30 in the morning jan 2nd), which meant that we spent the whole of new year's day 2004 travelling.. How apt then that the year ends with a trip to the Minneapolis airport on Dec. 31st 2004... Oh and for good measures, the year included 3 trips to Chicago and a trip to the east coast (read, NYC,Niagara Falls, Washington DC and Baltimore) and I dont know how many trips to Minneapolis (airports and otherwise)... True, I didnt spend the whole year travelling but damn I did rack up more miles than I ever have in one single year ;).. and AT, I covered 7 more states :P (so my count officially stands at 12)... One bad thing though.. I have never felt so homeless than I have been feeling ever since August.. I mean there was this one time in early september, when in 13 days I slept in 10 different places (and guys, dont get your dirty minds to work :P)... I know one thing for sure, I am NOT even gonna think about my thesis tommorow ;)... Heres wishing you all a very happy and prosperous new year...

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

Its traditional to sing this at the stroke on midnight and signifies the start of a new year.. Auld Lang Syne is actually old scottish for "times gone by"...

On a sombre note, please say a prayer for all those who were affected by the terrible calamity we all know about.. If you wanna make a monetary contribution here's one link you could go to..

My lyrics for today:

The pressure is building I want to break away
Motivation is lacking the point starts to fade
I look to the bottom still empty still the same
I'm waiting for something to show me the way
To the path that I should take, it's just too real to go ahead and fake
Every step that I make
Name your price I would give anything
I want to start over again
What do I want I have nothing to say
Whatever it is I want it today
Do we choose our own ground Do we choose to stay
Well I've seen too many throw it away

Do I see just one small chance to be myself to try and make it last
Every step that I take
