now this is the excitement that The world cup is about!

If you didn't see the match between Tunisia and Saudi Arabia then make sure that you watch it!!!
vami and I had gotten off the couch and there was the final few minutes of play, I was looking at the timer and since I thought that there was only three minutes of stoppage time I was telling her he has 15 seconds to score the goal, then unbelievely the man butted the ball in! Now that was an incerdible play!
In the 93rd minute came the goal needed to tie match!!!
The players gave it their all and they didn't give up!
Now thats what football is about.
And the goal scored by the Saudi captain, wow, that man ran as if the devil himself were chasing him to land a solid goal!
The Saudi players got down on their knees and prayed too...which was cool.
this was an awesome match! The dedication on both sides was overwhelming!
DO WATCH IT.

In other news Spain made a pretty decent comeback to finally win a match with a 4:0 win over Ukraine.
I guess for those of us who are definately not geography buffs now is an awesome time to catch up on it!
Ukraine: Location- Eastern Europe, bordering the Black Sea, can be found between Poland, Romania, and Moldova in the west, while there is Russia in the East!
Tunisia: location-boardered by algeria on the west, libya on the east and the Mediterranean Sea on the North

GHOSTS...

Ever notice how Ghosts are always depicted as crazy. I guess that is why most people fear them, because they are dead and no longer bound to the rules and ties of society and the limitations of a body, they can behave in whatever manner they want,
take what they want, do whatever they want...they no longer care if people think that they are crazy.
Now going back to the limitations of a body, if we weren't limited by our body, lets say we can become intangible/invisible whenever we wanted,
and never have to fear punishment, what would one do?
Now take away society,this cage that traps the mind, what if it no longer matter where were were on the social ladder, how many of us would then thread the path of 'insanity' and quench the superego?

*correction Quench the ID, not superego

I cannot think of a title for this.

orkut fortune for today said
Today's fortune:
A well-directed imagination is the source of great deeds

So what if it isn't well directed?
and what do they mean by well directed, conforming and keeping imagination within the walls of society?

Pablo Coelho put this very nicely in "Veronkia decides to die"
There was a kingdom and one day an evil sorcerer decided to poison the village well so that the entire kingdom would go insane, so the next day everyone drank of the well except the king and queen since they had their own well. Consequently the entire kingdom was insane and the king tried to put back order in his kingdom but since his ministers and guards had also drank of the well, they thought that his behaviour was crazy and asked him to step down. The king was going to resign his post when his queen stopped him and told him to drink from the well too. So they both drank and then the kingdom became normal once gain to him and he was allowed to rule again, however the neighbouring kingdoms all thought that everyone in that particular kingdom was crazy.


I wonder how many of us, afraid to face society also drink of this well. The fear that keeps us within the boundaries of 'sanity'.
Wouldn't one relate culture as the poison in that well to a certain extent? We want a culture and we want to belong so much that when the thirst for companionship grows to an unbearable extent, or when those we love have already drank and we find ourselves alone, never understood then we take the water, ignoring our own well. For an example think about the movie Mississippi massala, here, although we are all humans society that we live in wants to define our thought and it builds a fear inside of us to go against this, some refuse to drink from the well while others gladly imbibe the poison and then try to force it on others.
I know that the movie is a bit of a bizarre example but think about it.

now applying this to society, religions and man, if you do not conform you are crazy right? Independent thought has been a stigma throughout history. Now apply this to man and decide what gives us the right to decide what is acceptable and what isn't.



Think about this story (note: its paraphrased ) and do please do read the book, it is awesome!

ceci est le pied!

Spending so much time online now that I actually have to wear the stupid specks!

rambling to avoid doing chores

one of the coolest gifts is a barnes and noble gift card!
wohooo, I got one just for being in the right place at the right time.
the student government association found themselves with too much extra cash...I love getting cool free stuff!!!
listen to this, the kid told me, listen we are giving away gift cards you just have to answer these questions and don't worry I'll give you the answers....he he heh, what else was I supposed to say, but HELL YEAH, where do I sign!
the hardest decision was deciding whether I wanted the book on contemporary magic or sketching (hey I need a hobby!!!), I opted for sketching.

so yesterday my package came, I am soo excited!
apart from my book on how to sketch I got another another calvin and hobbes comic book!!!!!!!!!!!! barnes and boble even sent me free coffee...now this is too much:D
so far I have attempted to draw my foot, we had lost electricity during the day and since that meant no internet , I was left with nothing else to do but sip cofee and stare at my feet.
It proved to be a welcome muse!!!!!
I really need help with shading though, if there is anyone out there who can assist me in this area please do direct me to help.

In other news I found this really cool way to save on my cell phone bill.
io downloaded adcalls and now I can use the pc to place calls to phones without ever touching the cell...HA HA CINGULAR! no more overage fees for me!!!
so people please do download this ..only problem is that you have a 10 minute limit, but if you're like me and can get to the point right away then this wouldn't affect you much, or you can simply readial after the 10 minutes are up.


I took this personality quiz on tickle that told me I am romantic, so I have been busying myself lately trying to act romantic since the test said that I am, I don't think that it has been working though, because the long walk on the beach usually turns into a gallop for me and the romantic dinner gave me heart burn!!!

In other news , I have been resisting the urge to bash my head into a wall due to the pressure that I am a girl and therefore should not be taken seriously since I can be placated easily and it is my duty to listen and never question.

been reading da vinci with a dictionary, I saw the movie before i read the book and now in reading the book I realise how truly genius the writer is.
I see elements of foreshadowing and the obvious ironly that builds the intensity of the plot!
I dunno what all the fuss is about but this is a sure as hell damn good read!

judging from my above comment I think that my choice of language just disqualified me for the psoition of NY times book review staff:D

X-men III

so far this is the best of all three.
if you haven't seen it as yet what are you waiting on?
to all of my marvel comic brotherhood!!!, hell YEA!!!, even clapped, cried, laughed and just simply exclaimed oh Sh*T!
this one is by far the best!

graduation/birthday

Yesterday was graduation and my birthday as well. At the beginning of the year I had been very excited for that day but I guess we never know what to expect in life. I got caught up in the complexities of life and so on Thursday night I found myself struggling for sleep, with a distant thought somewhere in the back of my mind that I was graduating the next day.
It seems as if I have not blogged in forever.
Anyways the highlight of everything, raj let me doggysit Boo for a couple days!!!!!!!!!!
