Super Saiyan

Saiyan as in the Japanese fighter from Dragonball-Z, not to be confused with the hindi word saiyaan meaning 'lover'.

I used to have SUCH a huge crush on the lead, Goku. On occasions of going over to my Khala's house I would be forced by cousins to have to watch their "programs". It was truly love at first sight: I loved his strenght, his muscles, his loyalty to his child, and the fact that he was a strong fighter didnt hurt. :D

My hero, my saiyan, my first real love.

So Much For...

Ok so I LOVE love love having Mondays off every now and then but it really makes for a mess when you go back to work and try and figure out what day of the week it is.

So much for a re-vamped website!! All my days run together so I dont know what to post when. :(

Ok so anyway........even though today is Thursday and I missed Wednesday Im going to pretend and post two of my favorite words:

lackadaisical –adjective

1.	without interest, vigor, or determination; listless; lethargic: a lackadaisical attempt.

2.	lazy; indolent: a lackadaisical fellow.

and

lionize –verb (used with object)

1.	to treat (a person) as a celebrity: to lionize the visiting poet.

2.	British. to visit or exhibit the objects of interest of (a place).

–verb (used without object)

3.	to pursue celebrities or seek their company.

4.	British. to visit the objects of interest of a place.

I dont really have any funny stories -------- correction: I have way tooo many funny stories to choose my favorite amongst... it wouldnt be fair.

Thirsty Thursday ----- I'll have to come back to this --- but my topic is religious in nature.

PS. What ever you do, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT waste time and money on The Day the Earth Stood Still aka the Day Farah fell Asleep in the Theatre! hORRIBLE HORRIBLE MOVIE!

I Liked Him...

...and then he told me he was a Cowboys fan. Cut me deep, so deep I bled Eagles green.

Im sorry, what? It was as if my mind didnt want to accept the message my ears sent it.

I saw no problems in sight: Religious, funny, smart, good looking, traditional, punjabi....

Me: Like, you mean football? (praying that somewhere in the world theres a Cowboys cricket team and he's their number one fan)
Him: Yeah, I like the Cowboys.

Houston (err Dallas --- ickk) we have a PROBLEM! ;)

Newsday Tuesday Headlines

1.) Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari: Larry, I think these are stateless actors who have been operating all throughout the region. The gunmen, plus the planners, whoever they are, they are stateless actors who are holding hostage the whole world.

In an interview on Larry King Live President Zardari spoke to Larry King and denied any responsibility on behalf of Pakistan as a state for the deadly attacks on Mumbai (India) late last week. At least 179 casualties resulted from the three days of terror beginning last Wednesday. Of the 10 targets included were two top hotels: Oberoi and Taj. India openly blames Pakistani militants. You can catch the transcript of the airing in case you missed the show at: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/12/02/pakistan.zardari.lkl/index.html

2.) British Airways (BA) confirms it is in merger talks with rival Qantas (Flying Kangaroo). BA states it is looking at a possible dual-listed company structure. (For those who dont know:A dual-listed company or DLC (also referred to as a Siamese twin) is a corporate structure which involves two listed companies with different sets of shareholders sharing ownership of one set of operational businesses. In a conventional takeover one business acquires the shares of another. However when a DLC is created, both companies continue to exist, and to have separate bodies of shareholders, but they agree to share all the risks and rewards of the ownership of all their operating businesses in a fixed proportion, laid out in the equalization agreement. The equalization agreements are set up to ensure equal treatment of both companies’ shareholders in voting and cash flow rights.) http://edition.cnn.com/2008/BUSINESS/12/02/ba.qantas/index.html

3.) Father and son injured in a Wal-Mart post-Thanksgiving trample that left one temporary store employee, 34-M, dead are suing Wal-Mart for damages/healthcare and legal expenses in the sum of 2Million.

4.) Venice sees its highest tide since 1986. The city built on water was brought to a halt when the city was flooded by a 61-inch high tide. Citizens were not warned ahead of time and though they city's inhabitants know how to live with excess water, this was an exceptional case. 3,000 people had to be evacuated. Even the city's water buses were out of commission because the boarding platforms were underwater.

5.) GO SEE SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE!!!!

What Are the Odds?

I have been driving to work in the city lately and parking for free several blocks away from the hospital. The walk is refreshing and I like getting to work on my own schedule rather than waiting for a train that loves to break down and be late for no reason at all.

As I was trying to squeeze into a tight spot this morning I was reminded of a similar situation a couple years back. There I was trying to back out of a "how-the-hell-on-Earth-did-she-park-in-that-spot?" tight fit, windows down, all alone and unable to ask someone to watch my back when I misjudged backing up by a milli-fraction of an inch and slightly grazed the car behind me. Enough for me to feel but not dent or scratch.

There was a guy walking by at the same minute I jumped out of my car to inspect. He stopped short of my car and the other and looked at me nearly pulling out my hair torn between leaving a note or not. I figured the passerby had noticed, so I looked down and exclaimed, "I slightly bumped into the car behind me. Do you see any damage? Do you think I should leave a note?" I rambled a mile a minute. Was I hoping he would say no, absolving me of any and all obligations of my civic duty?

The guy, smiling, says, "Nah, I dont think theres any damage at all. You barely bumped it. I was watching you back out." He was watching? Oh, great. A witness.

"Do you mind helping navigate me out?", I asked, almost certain he'd say yes. Who actually says no? Ok fine. He could have said no. There was nothing tying him to stay.

"Uh, sure.", he said rather hesitatingly which made me think perhaps not everyone is nice enough to stop and help out a poor soul.

As he was directing me out from between a rock and a hard place, he laughed and asked how I got in in the first place. "I was here first!! This idiot boxed me in!" I screamed. He raised his eyebrows at my ... screaming, maybe?

"Ok", I say to the stranger with the killer dimples -- whoah!! so glad I noticed afterwards instead of beforehand so I didnt lose concentration, pshh although what difference would it make I mean I semi-bumped into the car before dimpled cutie walked up anyway -- "As long as you forever hold your peace, Im ok with keeping this on the low." I smile, for the first time throughout the ordeal and look up to see him not smiling, for the first time throughout the ordeal.

"Uh I cant do that. I cant promise the owner wont find out." he said.

I felt the earth move below my feet and thought I was going to pass out. Was he playing games? WTH? Why let me go on and on thinking he wouldnt be a good samaritan. I would have left a note if it werent for HIM!

"Why the sudden need to be a good samaritan?! You TOLD me not to leave a note! I barely even touched the other car. And now you're acting like you're gonna rat me out??" Face flushed, seconds from crying.

He smiled and said, "Well, yeah. Thats my car!"

...well, damn! What are the freakkkkin' odds???

I tried my best to gain composure, cleared my throat and asked, "Would you like me to leave you a note?"

"Only if it includes your phone number." he said grinning.

Selfish bastard. :P
