Thanks U2 !!!
This is why I love this band! Even the video in animation can bring tears to your eyes. How CAN they affect people so severely? Thanks U2

What would you say....?
Would you rather deal with people who
have a low self esteem
or
people who have a heightened sense of self worth

Fiefdom: Gone Baby Gone!
It has been brought to my attention that some of you cannot read the blog at the new wordpress address. As such I am here to share my worthless wealth of words!
This is just a quick plug for a new magazine that has started here in Karachi, targeting the university level students. It is information relevant to their present state and connects (hopefully!) students from around the world!
You can check it here: www.iWritejournal.com
Enjoy!!
In other news it appears that I may be free of the burdens of trying to run a business. The "Enough is Enough" state has been reached. People see things differently and that is what makes them interesting (or so I am told) yet that can also have problems when you are trying to reach a common goal. Therein lies the problem: there is not common thought and thus no common goal!
Now, how does one fill up the day!! Let me count the ways!!!

Ambition
There is a wall that I can see from my window seat that gives me the sublime view of people who come there to release their bladders. They thankfully face away from me and face the wall.
That brings me to the point of being human... I think Freud was onto something. The actual state of being human is the state of being filled with shame thanks to certain bodily functions, which then brings us to ambition.
My theory is that since our time of potty training we are filled with shame and to distance ourselves from the base beings that we are taught to feel we are, we develop "ambition" - a perpetual chase towards something "better" than being an organic eating and crapping machine. Whatever cerebral assets one might have are sharpened so as to develop some skill, something that will differentiate oneself from others just so each one can say : I am better than the base human that I am. That is what I feel ambition is. A form of chasing oneself away from our anal states.
No higher calling, just a fear of being associated with the shame of crap!

Good day
Today was a good day. The weather is not warm and nor is it cool. The sky is overcast so the sun is not beating down hard.
I have a window seat. Music in my ears.... life is sweet.
Work is plodding along... nicely or on time, its no longer my concern... I am far away!
The biggest achievement of all: I cleaned up my hotmail account! I thought I had written it all off but there comes a time in everyone's life when we have to return to do the deed... and today was that day for me.
Everything was marked as junk, now Microsoft how well do your junk filters work? We shall see.
Old emails going as far back as Oct 2007 we dealt with! People offering me admission to Phoenix University, asking me for my money for some relief or another, all junk, junk, junk, I say! Those wanting me to sign petitions, all were deleted. My "baby that is now 27 months old" too was "junked"! When did I get on the "babytobe" list? I had only just gotten away from offers of virtual sex and now this? What life do I lead? Do I have an alter ego that stalks cyberspace when I THINK I am asleep? Am I Tyler Durden?
My Hotmail account now looks like the Outlook interface - lets see if the filters work. Oddly seeing emails from past lovers and by gone friends puts one in a strange mood. I noticed I was holding my breath when I saw certain names... I guess there is some humanity in me after all!
The countdown is on... 8 days to the cartoce!
Update: Interestingly, I got two private responses to this post. Most intriguing!!! My friends actually read this stuff and were just waiting for a good day for me. Sweet some would say.... me, I will just keep quiet! Needless to say, soon after that post I stepped out into traffic and held my breath for various sundry reasons!!!!
It is all the more curious as this very morning, I seemed to have depressed my mother about how I will never be happy.... how I am a misfit here, there and everywhere! Hahahhaha!!! AND THAT my friends is a GOOD DAY!!!
