what i remember from my history class.. a long time ago..

hmm.. so i was one of those brilliant people in school (high school for le amerikaanos..) who could get by decently by studying at the last minute. in fact, that is the way i work best, last minute. its just something inherent, i can't change it. frankly, i wouldn't want to even if i could.

anyway, we had giganto lessons in history about the whole middle-east situation.. and i remember looking at all those wars that those people had .. 7 day wars, armistices, truces.. wars again.. it just went on and on and on and on and on and on and on.. i remember looking at the volume of my notes for that chapter and thinking.. if there was one place that i wish had been nuked, not that i wish any place was nuked, i wish this had been it.. it would have saved me oh so much trouble.. but, in hindsight, chances are i'd be learning about an impossible number of wars in some other corner of the world..

i remember an english major at tech (i used to be one too, long, long time ago!) who said to me "like, india is in the middle-east, right?" :D i love moments like that..

ever get the feeling that you were sitting in a car that was moving of its own accord?! (gee.. isn't that the car i own now? :P) i don't feel that way *while i am driving*.. i definitely feel that way about my life right now, something truly gigantic and earth shattering has happened. my brother is not going to be happy. he may just start looking for that nice indian boy who is settled here for me.. lol.. i pity the fool!! (a la mr. t!)

seriously, i'd rather die than settle for some nice indian boy who is settled in the states. i'd rather sing praises of charleston and talk about the sweetness and (do i dare joke about this, yes, i do!) the incredibly endearing and sweet naïveté of the natives here who tell you the significance of the pineapple while they secretly take offence to *your* naivete.. :P (if anyone takes offence to this last jesting statement of mine, i dare them to come tell me, face to face, that this is the case - i am very capable of tendering a most honest and genuine apology if the situation warrants it. but people who are supposed to be friends and let junk like this fester injure the friendship grievously)

as i always say.. its all bridge under the water :P the road will bring that which it was supposed to bring, and if it brought anything else, you'd be worried about being on the wrong road!
