don't feed the animals!!

This story is unbelievable. Click the title of the post above and make sure you check out all the pics of the cute leopard. If you don't read the article, basically a malnourished leopard got into his home and tried to eat his cat in his bed with his small daughter in bed with him too. He calmly subdued the weak animal for 20 minutes while the authorities arrived. There is only 10 leopards from what I know that live in Israel in the wild. They don't get enough to eat so they get desperate and jump through windows. Trust me, they don't want to do this. Ok why the hell do I think is so damn interesting? There must be some kind of symmetry you would hope for otherwise I'm not just wasting my time, I'm wasting yours; my small audience.

Last week I brought on a near attack or whatever from a young squirrel. The squirrels in my apartment complex are pretty domesticated. They live among us, eat our garbage, scurry when we walk by, watch us from the tree tops.... But the young ones are brazen. They have no fear of us. I'm not sure if people have been feeding them or not but I know I haven't.

Well last week I saw a couple youngsters playing. I made that little clicking noise people make...eeerrrr I make when I see animals. Well he looked up as expected but he came running at me! He followed me all the way up the stairs up to my apartment as I ran up. He almost got into my apartment!! What the hell is going on. It's ok to feed the animals in the park occasionally.

But here's my problem. People don't know about moths. Their cocoons are actually more beautiful than butterflies. They're woven from silk. So if I saw a cocoon I could cut a little slit and the moth could get out and live. But if I did that, chances are it wouldn't be strong enough to survive in the wild. You can do what you can to help but sometimes people/animals aren't supposed to get our help for a reason.

Check out www.terasnaps.com , they're one of my clients and I think have this awesome feature of facial recognition stuff. Don't want to go into it too much because that's all I've been looking at this entire day but check it out and let me know if you have any suggestions or anything.

LA: the gateway to India

There's a few cities in the US that fly to India. You can't catch a flight from Phoenix to Mumbai or Delhi, but you can connect to LA, Chicago, Newark, of New York and catch a flight out. So yesterday my Mom and Brother stopped over in LA on their flight to Bangalore (in the Southern part of India, my mom has a sister that lives out there).

The night before I was so excited that they were coming here. It's been a while since my Mom and Brother have to come to see me in LA. Even though we had a few hours together I wanted to make sure that they were comfortable and had a great time.

I can't explain how nice it was to have them here. I gave them my list of things I wanted from India. Gave them some things to take to family members. I really, really wish I was going with them. They're seeing EVERYBODY. All our relatives. My mom always cries when she has to leave me. I can't help but feel sad about it.

I can't just call my mom up and talk to her whenever I feel like it for the next 6 weeks. Its unreal how my options for friends, family to turn to have dwindled in the last few months. I guess its a test of my own nerves.

I can't wait until our entire family can take a trip together again back to India. We took a trip to Orlando last year. I see a lot of people take that kind of stuff for granted. The truth is the time you get to spend with your entire family is extra precious. People also take for granted that they have their extended family around. I don't have that luxury so I have to really make most of those opportunities.

I miss a lot of things right now. I miss my Mom and Brother. I miss my dad, I miss my family overseas. I miss some of my friends that are not close by. I miss home in Tempe. I miss having people to talk to. I miss innocence and being naive.

anthony's rite of passage

I said goodbye to a good friend. an old friend. it was like out of a movie. hes moving onto london for work. Anthony and I pretty much grew up together through college, post-college and graduate/post-graduate life.

It was one of those akward, guy moments when you have a lot of feelings and you don't know how to say them or how the other party is going to take it. We hugged a couple times, perhaps if we were drunk there would've been some tears.

We have so many memories together. It's crazy to say that I've know Anthony for 8 years. And he's always been a kid. Nothing against him because he's real successful at what he does but he's still a kid in alot of ways. I know he's always looked up to me and the truth is I've always liked to have him around. With Anthony it's always about having fun and acting juvenile. It's always a pleasant distraction.

Anthony going to London is like when the a tribe sends its young males out into the wild to fend for themselves. If they come back alive, they've transformed into men. He gave me a semi-promise that he's coming back to LA someday. I really hope so.

Anthony has always been close by, whether it was across the hall in the dorms, next door in the apartment, down the street.... Now he's gone and there's a void there.

the black spidey suit

I've seen Spiderman 3, but I KNOW Spiderman from the comics. The black spidey suit is an alien symbiate that takes advantage of its host (Spiderman or whoever the alien bonds with) and yada yada. I'm not going to go into the whole story if you want just wikipedia spiderman and you can an idea.

The suit gives a whole new set of powers to the host where the hosts feels better than ever and becomes addicted. Then the symbiate starts taking control of the host. The host shows signs of aggression and other characterstics that are not normal behavior.

I feel like I got my black spidey suit back. And it feels damn good.... Everyone who puts thats suit on thinks they can control the symbiate, or what that symbiate represents their dark side. There's so many angles I can go with this so let just make it real simple.

Everyone has a dark side.

That dark side makes you capable of things you would never think possible.

It's not a sickness, a defense mechanisms. It's a hidden strength.

I think that it's inherent in all of us and it makes us human, but it also polarizes our natural intent.

Whatever you want to call your black spidey suit you can. It's always fun to play with.

Purgatory

According to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, Purgatory is the "final purification of the elect": "All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven."

An interesting philosophy that can be paralleled to our world. Is this life purgatory? If you believe in eternal salvation, aka, molksha, nirvana, and reincarnation; isn't it all purgatory? We live our lives reacting to what obstacles come our way and we always hope for the future and take the future for granted.

It's like the Matrix or any of these other movies that deal with false realities and alternate universes. What's real and what isn't? I hate to turn all existential as if I'm some high school kid just learning about philosophy and trying to show my new bran power, but I get that surreal feeling about life all the time. It's like I see things happen right in front of me and I don't they seem so out of the norm. And I think why is this happening. It's almost like a TV show or a movie. Now I'm rambling and I haven't said anything poignant. My bad.

Anyways, enjoy your purgatory as I will mine.

My Greatest Hits

"thank GOD for giving me this moment of clarity, this moment of honesty...the world will feel my truths" - Jay-Z

I'm stealing this from LOST, where Charlie writes out the 5 top moments in his life. Only difference, none of these are in any particular order and theres more than 5.

1999 - Senior Kairos Retreat. This was a retreat where some seniors go on a spiritual retreat and learn and it changes you. What changed me was the letter that my Mom and Dad wrote to me. Each letter was read out loud to the whole group. At the time my parents and I were just not really getting along and those words in that letter surprised the hell out of me and moved me. Everything my parents were telling me I finally understood.

2002 - Battle of the Bands. That performance that we put on that day.... I haven't felt so free in my life. That was another moment of clarity and I think I don't have had as much fun than those 15 minutes. Not to mention my performance was flawless from what I remember...

7th Grade - I was the defacto leader of my basketball team because I was the only one that could dribble and handle the ball well enough to run the offense but I was also one of the taller kids. So I played the season out of position as a point guard when I should have played the power forward. We were down by 2 points with 11 seconds to go in the game... I remember it like it was in slow motion I brought the ball up the middle of the court, got a pick from a team dribbled past the double team to my right, then went left to avoid another guy and crossed-over right to and as the last guy on there team came to stop me I shot a double clutch bank shot a few feet off the right post. Crowd goes crazy - OVERTIME. We win not because of me but because my teammates had confidence in themselves. That was more satisfying than making that shot.

2001 - My college girlfriend. After the first time and we got back together, which would be the last time we would be together. She gave me the biggest hug and told me, "I'm so glad your parents made you." That felt euphoric and I still consider it the biggest compliment I've received.

Last year - The time I spent with my then-girlfriend. There was so many moments I can look back on. The first time she called me Aquaman and I felt like I was superhero. It sounds funny, but she made me feel special.

2005 - Graduate Student of the Year. I emailed Dr. Kiesner and told him the day before the dinner where I accepted my award that I didn't deserve it. He told me to shut up, accept it graciously. He said I more than deserved and this award was going to change my life as I lived one of great impact. I still wonder if I deserved it but if he believes in me, then I know that I've done something right in my life. He told me the next year that he would give it to me again if it was allowed...

2005 - When Sunsetronics.com was officially successful. The culmination of all our hard work and having a sense of accomplishment.

2003 - Graduation day. 4 years of hard work and so much experience gained all coming together in that morning. One of the happiest moments of my life. Thanks to that cheering section I had in back. I heard all my friends and they were LOUD and it made me feel like I did the right thing by going to LMU over the schools.

I need more of these... I feel like this list is so much shorter than and my life has been full of close calls. Moments that never lived up to what they should've been or disappointments. Don't get me wrong there was alot of good moments, great moments, but very few these pure moments.

numb....or not.....

I talked to my ex-girlfriend after a long time. Saying we caught up would be an understatment. I remember what Tony Soprano said to Pussy before he killed him for ratting them out to the FBI: "Puss, did you even really exist..." He said it in a way where I could never ever forget it.

I know I'm supposed to be spiteful and bitter and I am a little bit, but I'm also optimisitic about things in my life. I know I'm supposed to be sad, and I am. I think I learned a lot about myself through all of this. And I think I proved my worth to any woman that comes into my life.

I might be arrogant or I might be just flat out ignorant, but I think she'll realize what she gave up down the road in form or another. Something in her life will make her look back at all this and think twice. I could be completely wrong and she might now be with her soulmate... only time will tell, right? Or I could be completely wrong and she might never think about me again, but I know how much she touched me.

So now it's my turn to walk away. And that means I need to start living my life by my standards and not hers anymore. I'm gonna beat this shit, are you kidding me?? I know what I have to do now. First thing's first is I have a new outlook on life. The next thing is get back to what made me who I am.

I'm back in business, baby!!

Staind- It's been a while

I heard this song my junior year in college and Goddamn it's powerful. The video is really cool because it's set to a really, really well edited Smallville montage about the relationship of Clark and Lana.

It's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been a while
Since I first saw you
It's been a while
since i could stand on my own two feet again
and it's been a while
since i could call you
But everything I can't remember as fucked up as it may seem
the consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

It's been a while
since i could say that i wasn't addicted and
It's been a while
Since I could say I love myself as well and
It's been a while
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like i always do
It's been a while
But all that shit seems to disappear when i'm with you
But everything I can't remember as fucked up as it may seem
the consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must i feel this way?
just make this go away
just one more peaceful day

Its been awhile
Since I could lok at myself straight
and it's been awhile
since i said i'm sorry
It's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
It's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste
But everything I can't remember as fucked up as it may seem
I know it's me i cannot blame this on my father
he did the best he could for me

It's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been a while since i said i'm sorry

Lar

Lar,

I would love to let your poetic fingertips drop some knowledge on our heads when you said girls have alterior motives. I'm calling you out because - 1. I agree with you to a certain extent but I would love to see what your planned response would be. 2. I think my meager audience will enjoy more of your writing. 3. I'm curious.

Thanks!!!

This song was #1 on the charts on the date of my birth.

1981 ... "Endless Love" by Diana Ross & Lionel Richie

But then I got to thinking what was the #1 song in India at the time because that's where I was? Did they have tape players in 1981? I'm sure my parents have it if so.

that familiar feeling

If anyone knows the incredible circumstances the Suns we're put in tonight and you saw the game and how this series has gone and you can understand being a Phoenix Suns fan for a very long time.... then you know what this feels liks.

it's like you when you know you're the underdog but you still know you can make your dreams come true. But when zero-hour comes and the pressure is on because now you're so close to what you want, then life snatches it away and you're left questioning everything. Only what those call moral victories are left... life's lessons... experience

that's a very familiar feeling.

एच-तोवं

Cheers to another fantastic trip and weekend. The more I hang out with my friends in Texas the more I realize that I might need to move out of LA and somewhere else. But thats besides the point.

Yo my boy the groom, is such a chill guy. I always take for granted how the most stressful of situations don't even phase him. He's animated and enthusiastic but he has a calming, almost lethargic aura. He's always like that except for when any Dallas sports team loses.

But Ankur's friends are now my friends and not by default, but because we all are tight like that. It's a sort of fraternity through bonding and sharing similar values, but I could hang with those guys any day and I would appreciate it. I got a homies named Cheetos, Dex, and Buck... haha. I don't want go into it but there is a such thing as southern hospitality and treating ur friend's friend like you known him for years. Cheetos did me well in Houston and he's welcome to the same treatment anywhere I am. I'll forever be known in the durty third as Vince Chase.

There's something about weddings that gets you thinking about yours. It's not just like when you go to somebody's birthday party or something like that. You just wonder what it's going to be like ofr yourself. The part I'm looking most forward to is having all my friends in one place celebrating ME. It sounds self-centric but people roast you for your eccentricities and silly characteristics and they tell you what they really feel about you. There's so much to celebrate and there's so much love.

There was so much more I wanted to write about but I can't even remember now. Damn, I should have done this on the place.

Life is tough and the challenges that face us define US.

I thought for sure the Suns we're going to lose that game. I had very little hope left in that team. I have to sincerely apologize for doubting their will to win. To me, it looked like for almost 80% of the game that they were going through the motions. They had a defeated look on their faces. Some how, some way they defied conventional thinking and beat a championship team by playing out of their comfort zone. They had to be mentally tougher and standup to the physical challenge without going over the edge. I couldn't be more proud to be Phoenix Suns fan.

When everything was on the line they played like EVERYTHING was on the line. I'll be honest I got a little choked up. It reminded me of 2001 when the Diamondbacks won the world series. Not that we won anything last night we just extended the playoff series and gained momentum. We also gained back home-court advantage. But I was pretty much ready to call it a season. Even though I thought it was over, you keep a little hope but that's there because it has to be. That's just the human spirit.

"Turn to this light when all hope is lost in the world..." That's what the Elf Queen said to Frodo when she gave him a gift and sent him on his impossible mission to save the world and destroy the ring. In Lord of the Rings its all symbolic and I really think she was telling him to turn to GOD at that point. Well... the light we turned to was all internal. It was the belief in yourself to overcome the hardest parts of life. You have to ready and willing to take those challenges and overcome them to get to the next level in life.

अन्क्स इस गेत्तिंग मर्रिएद!!

I had a convo with one of the groomsmen tonight and we're both like; this is just a weekend of getting together and partying, Amee and Ankur are getting married. That's like my brother getting married. So with Ankurbhai getting married, there's only a few of single guys left. At least out of my people.

It's crazy how this marriage thing consumes everyone. It's that time of year when engagements and marriage are every weekend and gossip is dominated on the subject.

It's hard to not think of what you're wedding is going to be like. Who you're going to marry and what it's going to be like how you want it to go. That shit is scary. I had this very interesting conversation with Pujja didi about marriage and what's going to happend with the 2 of us but I can't get into it now. I've just spend the last 15 hours running my engine at 150 miles per hour and I have to go to sleep and get a couple hours before I have to do it again in the early morning. But I've got some interesting topics to cover and I'll get a chance to write some of them out on my flight to Houston.

मय बेस्ट फ्रिएंद'एस वेद्दिंग

One of my best friend's who people say is me in 5 years, is getting married. Why I am nervous about Ankur getting married? Well if that's me in 5 years that's enough to make me nervous. Because not only is he marrying a girl I've only hung out with for a few hours and had maybe a couple conversations with over the phone, but that supposed to me in 5 years.

He always tells me, "Amee is a down-ass chick, that's somebody I want for you." Now I'm leaving out a lot of the other things he's told me about how an amazing person she is. But still, how does this change things? I don't know yet...

The guy is my older brother. He gives me the best advice that noone else will give AND I will listen to. Anybody else could tell me the same thing but he puts in a way where I know what he's saying is true.

But now he's married and I feel like I'm left back. Like his life is only going to change in good ways and get only better.

And he handles situations better than anyone I know. He knows what to say and when to say and you can't fluster the guy. He's too cool. Congratulations bro. I hope you like the gift Deka picked out for both of us.

I can't wait to be there and I can't wait to be there for all the big moments. I just hope we can still do the things that we always do.

फ्लूरेड

I don't even know what to say. I feel like I got punched in the stomach. ouch

everlong - foo fighters

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang

Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me

Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang
Chorus-

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Verse 2-

Breathe out
So I could breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang
Chorus-

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Chorus-

And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

HASSELHOFF!!

Why are the Germans obsessed with this guy? I remember him from Knight Rider and kinda still think fool is alright. Anyways, I thought this was more funnier than sad.

game time

I've tried to downplay this whole San Antonio/Phoenix second round playoff matchup, but I know just like anyone else who watches basketball that whoever wins this playoff series is going to win the championship.

And this matchup is so intriguiging even if you're not a fan for either team when you know what it symbolizes. The best offense against the best defense. The irrestistable force versus the immovable object. The Suns are playing their deamons. They have been criticized by not playing enough defense, because like the cliche goes defense and rebounding wins championships (The Spurs have 3 already to the Suns 0).

There's alot more I wanted to get into but the game started and I must go now...

WE BELIEVE!!!!!

The Golden State Warriors shocked the world and made history by beating one of the best teams in the regular season history (a Dallas team that won 83% percent of their games over a 7 month stretch and at one point won 66 out of 76 games). Not only did they beat them, but they beat them badly, and they did it with style and confidence and playing basketball the way I always thought it should be played: running hard and playing unselfishly and relying on your strengths and not deviating from that. They play a style similar to the Suns but they lack the players with required skill sets and they play a helter/skelter anything goes offense. It's fun to watch and I envied them because I saw how much fun they were having and how much they trusted each other. I wanted to find 4 guys that I used to play with and head out to the gym.

Watching the game, I couldn't help but smile. Because I know what it means for the city of Oakland and what it means to all those other cities where their team is the perennial underdog, loser, or just overlooked and underrespected. It's one thing when a team does it once. That happens all the time. But it NEVER happened in 7 game series. The better team at that time ALWAYS wins. It's hard to say that the Warriors were better but they certainly played their style and forced the Mavs to adapt to them.

The Mavs.... Well... They were not confident, their best player gave up in the 3rd quarter. This was a huge choke job on their part. They made us all believe they had this huge chip on their shoulder from losing in the Finals last year. Well, "Irk" where were you? Next year for Halloween I'm going in a Dirk Nowitski jersey in a big game. You might not see me though, I'll be the invisible man.

Actually, I did come up with an awesome idea for a haloween costume for this year. get a few pieces of cardboard some how create a milk carton and place my head in the middle like one of those cardboard cut outs where you stick ur head in and theres a supermodel's body on the outside. And above the picture it says, "Missing Dirk Nowitski, Last scene at Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA - pregame May 3rd, 2007. Also missing is his manhood."

Ankur is gonna kill me, but I had to shoot him a text during the game when the outcome was no longer in doubt. "We Believe!!!"

the mystery of my missing glasses

Noone can give a definitive answer to if I was wearing them on the golf course on Sunday morning. I was too tired to remember myself... The standard overall house search was done multiple times and people were called and questioned but no success. What is it in my brain that makes it possible for me to lose such things constantly. Usually I find them but this time it doesn't look like its going to happen.

Another trip home and another piece of me left there... along with my laundry which I forgot completely and left in the dryer. I've said this a million times already but I need an assistant.
