Science fiction is the coolest

Personally I like science fiction it always has an element of the fantastic but yet remains strikingly plausible. The best science fiction is always a commentary on the present as much as it is on the future. I was aware of that as well.

Five weeks until basketball

currently there are thirty four days until the tipoff of the 2011 NBA season. I will have the fortunes of my team to follow for an entire season yet again. I am thoroughly looking forward to it.

New poetry will be here soon

Right now I am working on new volumes of poetry. It has been a good time writing and I am thoroughly enjoying myself. The process has been thoroughly illuminating from start to finish. I was aware of that as well.

Getting excited for the start of Basketball

The tipoff of the NBA season is a mere thirty nine days away. It happens on Sunday October 3rd 2010. I am stoked for more San Antonio Spurs Basketball for the 2011 NBA season. It looks like good times and fun watching. I was aware of that as well.

More fiction will be here shortly

Right now I am working on more fiction. It is good times to be a writer right now. I am taking advantage of the format fully. The time is here and now and I am going to uses it to the upmost. I was aware of that as well.

Waiting for my visa

Shouldn't old Mansingh road have ruled by now. I guess I will have to wait a while longer for my India visa to arrive. None the less I am trying to enjoy my time here as best I can. I was aware of that as well.

Gearing up for the the fall

The beginning of fall is around the corner and I am getting ready for it. This looks like good times are ahead for me as things get back to normalcy slowly. I am just trying to enjoy my time here as much as I can. I was aware of that as well.

Happy Rakhi Everyone

Today is the Indian holiday Rakhi. Which incidentally celebrates brotherly love for sisters. So I wish a happy Rakhi to all my female relatives including both cousins and aunts. Kudos to all of you.

Normalcy returns

Slowly but surely normalcy is returning to my existence. This has been somewhat of a difficult time. None the less I am trying to make the most of the given situation. There is still more things for me to do. I was aware of that as well.

More praise for the Quiet War

The novel the Quiet War by Paul McCauley is a decently well written space opera. It has an engaging plot and it has believable characters. The reviewers on Amazon thoroughly trashed the book. However I reserved judgment for myself.

The Road back to Southern Nevada

I am working on getting back to school. It will require time fueffort and money but it the right thing to do. Education is clearly the future and the way forward. However it should not come at the cost to your sanity. I was aware of that as well.

A Special thanks to Pops

Hey pops thank you for the time and money to make this two and half day road trip to Vegas. It was a real blast. I am going to see if I can see some of my university contacts today. I hope you are having a great time in Manila. I was aware of that as well.

Finding a better place to be

Right now I am trying to find a better place to be. This is an intense yet doable challenge. My situation continues to evolve on ground level. Right now I am just trying to make the most of the given situation. I was aware of that as well.

On the Road to Vegas

Today I leave for Las Vegas Nevada and greater Clark county. This trip is special in many regards. None the less I am trying to do the right thing and have as much fun as I can. I was aware of that as well.

Facing your fears

Later this week I will be in Las Vegas Nevada for a meeting with my shrink. Talk about an excercise in uncomfortability. None the less I am going to make this next session as productive as possible. The work that I have to do there is useful. Also I will have to deal with the uncertainty.

Fun in San Francisco

today I had a fun day in San Francisco with my cousin. It always good to be with family and today we had a lot of fun. I had lunch out which I paid for. I also had coffee out today as well. All in all we both had a great time.

No Mosque at ground zero for me

The proposed mosque at ground zero strikes me as extraordinarily insensitive. It would be like building a synagogue in Aushewitz. Remember that it was islamic terrorists from Egypt and Saudi Arabia that crashed planes into the twin towers nearly a decade ago. How soon we forget. It is a bad idea to build this mosque there.

You said it man

Bad dentistry not withstanding I hope that I will be able to return to India in the near future. However I do not know in what shape my visa will come in although we have applied. It looks like good times are ahead for me now.

OUTRAGE

Some hippy pot smokers in Illinios still bizarrely think that Rod Blugoyavitch is innocent. Please people what type of crack are you smoking and why ain't you sharing? the man is a felon and a crook. And he has attempting to extort money. That is not including his relationship with disgraced Chicago Businessman Tony Rezko. The judge requesting a mistrial hammers one point home. There really is two standards of justice in this country. One tougher and sterner for conservatives and a second more lax and lenient for liberals. It also highlights why our justice system can be a joke at times.

Back to School in the Spring

Right now I am gearing up for the return to the world of higher education. My last outing there was not so brilliant none the less I am trying to make the most of the given situation. I will not make the mistake of living with teenage children anymore. I was aware of that as well.

The Milk Guzzelling household part II

More of our milk adventures we enjoy milk thoroughly and I bought some yesterday. The silly people at our local super market did not give me the usual discount. They are usually betterthan this. Anyway. We have our milk and all is good for now

The Milk Guzzeling Household

In my house we like our milk. It would be a sad world if cows did not exist. Milk is easily the elixir of life slash go fuel that we require. Without it we would be nothing. I am personally thankful that I am not lactose intolerant. Man I am glad I don't have those Chinese genes. I was aware of that as well.

Off for fishing will be back soon

Today seems like a big time fishing day so I will enjoy it as best I can. I slept in on this particular sunday. I also have not gone to the outside three of the past four days. I will be back in action next week though. So see you then.

A time to heal

Right now I am engaging in the healing process. Everything is changing around me and I have to get use to the given situation. None the less I am trying to do everything right and by the book. I was aware of that as well.

Another trip to book buyers is done

Recently concluded was my trip to Down town Mountain View and to book buyers. It is probably the last time for a while that I will get to go there. None the less I am trying to enjoy it as best I can. I was aware of that as well.

A trip to the city is in the books

Yesterday was my uber fun trip to San Francisco California. It was cold but I had a good time and got to do some fun stuff when I was there. I am still waiting for word on my India visa. I do not know when that will come through. I was aware of that as well.

A Day in the City

Right now I am in the uber cold yet utterly beautiful city of San Francisco. I am principally here to drop off my passport back to the visa office. Still it is a good time to be had by all at the current moment. I was aware of that as well.

More fun is yet to be had now

Right now I am pure enjoyment mode. This mode might not last long however I am attempting to enjoy it while it last. My situation continues to evolve and change. I am dealing with it accordingly. I was aware of that as well.

Poetry is fun to write

I enjoy the process of writing poetry. It is a craft as well as an art form and it is intensly rewarding. My personal situation continues to evolve and change. None the less I am trying to enjoy the current situation. I was aware of that as well.

In defense of autism

Autism spectrum disorder a mental disorder effecting some fifteen million persons in the United States remains very poorly understood. We tend to think of mental disorders only in the pujorative. Basically it is a superficial and unidimensial view that is not totally correct. Firstly not all autistic people are socially retarded. That is a pernicious myth constructed by people who seek to degrade us. Also autism has a wide variety of forms. Autistic people have often shaped the era we live in today. Most truly great minds in history had some for a mental disorder. We should not be prejudiced by it. What we need is better understanding. Of course that is not always in the offing. People innately fear what they do not understand. I was aware of that as well.
