Nightmare

Israel "Iz" Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole’s medley of ‘Somewhere over the rainbow/What a wonderful world' is so endearing I pull out my guitar from its stand…. The thick layer of dust over black isn’t that endearing though. The damn plectrum is broken but I use it anyway. The 5^th and 6^th strings whine to be replaced. A few minutes of trying to strum it in the ukulele style results in me totally going off tempo. The seemingly simple F barre continues to get the better of me and the fingers ache.Cut my nails last week.And thank god I cut my toe nails too, because I stubbed each foot thrice in the past 2 weeks over very unkind objects.

I suspect a fracture in the left one.Unlikely though.I’ve never had a fracture in my life.Should I say touch-wood? I touch my wooden computer desk just in case. Falling over 4 feet from a furniture movers truck and landing on my shin caps over red gravel when I was in the 6^th grade comes to mind.The knees never flinched ! Or maybe I was too proud to cry in front of my cousin sister.Just spoke to her a few minutes back.About younger cousins and cuss words ! hmm… we never swore when we were young…I mhm my way thru it…can I really be so uncaring? He’s never sworn at me has he…but yes 'tis bad! envy the bloke a lot ! he’s a much better guitar player than me and I had to suffer the ignominy of scoring lower than him in the guitar practical exam we took a few years back. Ah , She comes to mind.The girl with the white treble clef earrings who strummed her way into my heart and left me out of tune.I stare at the gtalk list and there she is.Been a month now.Have I moved on? I do not know…I don’t want to know…

Been a coupla months…I miss the class too…Gotta rekindle the passion !

*** PING ***

Yikes ! its HER ! ‘Hey hows it goin’?’ ! I am clairvoyant... my dads teacher told me that 15 years ago...strange palm reading that was !

Standard procedure… Innocuous status messages seem to be very reliable catalysts…dammit ! unintentional I tellya !

“(When your heart's on fire)Smoke gets in your eyes” siii-gh!

alt-tabbing to see if she’s replied to my reply…hmm…reminds me of a one liner I made up about the whole thing…the effect of cloudburst on the sun’s behavioral patterns and other random atmospheric phenomena….I know it doesn’t make any sense…it never did… hows Morpheus sound for a big black Labrador?

Nari sends me chapter 2…blown to bits again by the guys infinite talent ! Greatness awaits…why cant I write like him? Ok don’t start with the comparison-validation bit now…

Amrutanjans worn off…time to apply it again…

Perhaps not…

The plays ! ah yes the plays... 2 of my scripts...I oughta be excited right?

Been tripping on Artie Shaw for awhile now… ‘Nightmare’ (think the Aviator) is almost psychedelic with its initial strains reminiscent of the Bond theme. I think this came before…What other clarinet players have I heard?

Stop don’t alt tab again !

Finally started on that Tom Hanks biography ! Woody Allen’s essays aren’t done yet…

Close the window…

Gave up my rum and raisin icecream scoop for my sister. Well it was my mistake I didn’t get 2 scoops and heck I decided to let it go ! I’m mostly still a glutton though.

The batchmates mail-stormed again…everyone is in the USA….me the only one back here…not surprising at all…

Hmm 12 21… ah a palindrome ! Tomorrow is another day…just keep on breathing

Some people ask me why I don’t write these days…I think its because I seem to be having a so need your love so f*** you all attitude of late…just pissed off generally with the world …don’t ask why ! I don’t have the answer ! If I did I wouldn’t be here trying to type up this piece of trash
