 08 August, 2004, 15:10 - I Pulled out the U-Haul and Left...

Oh...right...I suppose if anyone still reads this and wonders why it hasn't been updated since January, I should post something.

I've moved. You can now find my day-to-day bitchfest at http://dhruv.jvwdesigns.com.

Right. Thank you that is all...

 27 January, 2004, 00:48 - Family Ties

I had a really touching experience tonight that both warmed my heart and put a knot in my stomach at the same time.

I called my grandparents for the first time in a loong time tonight. My granddad and I used to be really close back when I was a little guy and we still lived in India. I've got so many fond memories of that Chandigarh house...and it really all hit me like a ton of bricks tonight. I realized that I've had this hole in my life for the past 15 years that hasn't been filled by that special kind of love that only your grandparents are capable of providing. And in a somewhat emotional moment for me, I thought about my brother. He wasn't as fortunate as I was. He didn't have those four uninterrupted years in India that I enjoyed. I had the undivided attention of my grandparents for those four years, and he's never going to get that chance. Makes me really feel sorry for the kid...

The other big thing that hit me tonight was that they're my grandparents, and thanks to the natural progression of time, they're not going to be around forever. I've really let the last 15 years slip away. Yes I've been able to spend time with them in the 2 trips we've made back to India. Yes they did make a trip over to Rochester for a summer, but past that it's really been minimal interaction, for which I really hate myself. Until tonight, really the only times I talked to them were on birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I think both my granddad and I realized tonight that we'd both let contact fall off the map...

Anyway, my granddad and I made a pact tonight. We're going to start writing each other again. That's right. Letters, not e-mail. Yes I still believe snail mail is good for something. It allows a personal touch that 12-point Arial type on a computer monitor doesn't convey. Either way, we're going to start writing each other, something we haven't done since I was about half my current age, and I'm looking forward to it.

It's time to start rebuilding some family ties...

 26 January, 2004, 02:06 - Look At Me! I'm a Traveler...NOT!

Me the world traveler I suppose...I really haven't been too many places in the US for more than a few days. Lived in MN for 8 years yes (technically still "home" for me). I'm really only in OH for school...


create your own visited states map or write about it on the open travel guide

 25 January, 2004, 04:26 - HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!

Oh. My. GOD...

Catch me on AIM and ask me why I'm about to fall out of my chair...

*falls out of chair*

Right I'm back. Yeah this semester's already starting to suck. ENGR 145 is a bitch. Aside from that, life is good though...

So yeah I watched the greatest reality show on TV the other night (Thursday). It was called the Democratic debate. What a joke. Something tells me I won't be voting in the first election in which I'm ALLOWED to vote...I don't want to be a contributing factor to the farce that is this nation's presidency. I'll let my silence at the polls send a far clearer message than an actual VOTE ever would...

In all honesty, life out here has become more of a headache than anything else. At least I've got the guys in "the Corner" to keep me company. I love this floor. I'm gonna have to talk to some of the guys and see if we can't all room together next year on South Side in the 6 person suites. With a few of them frat-bound, I'm sure it'd be a possibility.

*stares blankly at the underside of his mattress as he types* So THIS is why I learned how to touch-type...

OK I can tell I'm off into an incoherent babble, so I'll end it here. I just wanna say that I've really been feeling disconnected from Rochester lately, so please please please help me reconnect to home a bit...

Oh yeah..if anyone reading this is a fan of "Back in Black", GO GET THE ORIGINAL MIX OF THE SONG WITH BON SCOTT SINGING IT! IT'S FUCKING AMAZING!

 15 January, 2004, 20:15 - Am I Just Paranoid? Or Am I Just Stoned?

Undergraduate studies is my new worst enemy...

Y'know Bush's space policy appalls me. Howard Dean here I come. WE DO NOT NEED TO GO BACK TO THE MOON! Something tells me Bush has been watching a bit too much Star Trek...

8:30 am Physics labs suck. Thank God it's only every other week. Physics is going to be a lot of work, but at least it's something I'm interested in. My new SAGES class kicks major ass. I get to play around with all sorts of technology 'n stuff and I'm really enjoying it. Chemistry of Materials is shaping up to be a lot of work as well, but I've got my mind set on good grades this semester and I'm damn well going to get them.

I've decided that I'm forever indebted to my guitar. It's been my emotional companion through a lot lately. I've been able to take out a lot of anger, stress, and angst on my guitar and I've really been a much happier person for it.

I'm starting to miss home a little bit. I've got pictures up now of Tony, Cletus, and the family. Other than that, I've got pretty much nothing to remind me of home here...

Let's see, what else? Oh yeah. The Packers lost in overtime last Sunday, thus ending their season. I'm sorry, but even with as much respect as I have for Brett Favre, I can't condone that pass he threw for an interception in overtime allowing the Eagles to get the winning field goal. That was a pass that even a rookie quarterback knows not to throw. Either way, Packer season's done. Time to put the jersey away till August.

Right. I think I'm done. With school being hell right now, I don't know how frequently I'm going to be able to update, so bear with me...

Barenaked Ladies - Pinch Me

It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough I guess
Considering everything's a mess
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside

It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
Change in to some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
And sleep away the afternoon

It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for

Pinch me, pinch me 'cause I'm still asleep
Please God tell me that I'm still asleep

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I pack the car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
I could hide out under there
I just made you say underwear
I could leave, but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway

It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time, cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just try to figure out what all this is for
Try to figure out what all this is for
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Try to figure out what all this is for

 10 January, 2004, 01:42 - No Regrets

I have no regrets...

*sigh* I head back to Case later today. It's been a great break, but it almost makes me wonder, "What would have happened if I hadn't left the state for school in the first place?" I dunno. I guess I'm starting to question whether or not I made the right decision. I know this is the career I want, but I don't know how badly I want it. My eyes wander upwards too often for me just to dismiss it...do I really see myself holed up in research 10 years from now? Or do I see myself in the left seat earning a living at 30,000 ft? *shrug* I suppose time will tell...

Hmm...let's see. Math, Physics, Material Chemistry, and another SAGES seminar this semester. Yep...hell on Earth in Cleveland, OH for me. *shrug* oh well. Physics rules, and my SAGES seminar should be good...

I'll say it again..."What the hell do you take me for?? Mormon??"

Peace out. My next update will be from a different computer in a different time zone.

Sign the guestbook or tag-board...

Oh yeah...new page (15 per page is my usual practice)...

Cheers,
