The Battle Of The Tenses

What a strange way to be...
Stuck in Present Continuous.
Always going, getting, trying, doing, becoming, achieving, surviving.
Past Perfect never good enough.
Future threatening to become another mundane series of Present Continuous.
Maybe Present Continuous wouldn't be so bad if you could subtract the frantic pace and erratic emotions associated with all the 'ing'.
What's the hurry ?
Life punctuated with a series of Present Perfects can't be that bad, no ?!

Tonight I Can Write The Saddest Lines...

The stories aren't important. The moral of the story is.

Morals of the story:
1. Nothing/Nobody is irreplaceable.
2. Don't get your heart stuck on something.

Net Take-Out:
Learn how to roll with the punches and try and wrap your head around, "What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger."

P.S. Shit Happens. Life Goes On...But Until Then...

Banana Sticker Man, Where Art Thou ?

My secret banana sticker man lover has foresaken me. He hasn't written to me in a while. I have waited patiently all this while for a secret clandestine note...but to no avail. I have bought innumerous bananas with no luck.

And now giddy with nervous excitement post a glass of banana milkshake I await the return of the boy with more bananas...

Perhaps the sticker-love notes will reappear...perhaps perhaps perhaps...

Metaphor Ellicitation

on a warmish day !

magic must be made of things like thesehe: ulta. magic makes such things

he: ai hai

qattal , jabardasti but qattal
me: as u can see I'm on a roll
he: unfortunately i think it just continues

there is no stopping your rolling
i think the circular symmetry you have attained assists you

me: words are dancing off your plump fingers and creating poetry on the keyboard

is there a butterfly on your mouse ?
he: no butterflies anywhere

me: how unfortunate...stomach butterflies are the things one lives for

the day they die, a part of u does too
he: and that reminds me your butterflies prediction

which did not come true

me: bring back the people who cause the butterflies

he: they bring a lot more than just butterflies

me: it will keep u alive

sort the butterflies out and separate them from all else
use your agile mind to enjoy the butterflies and ignore the rest

harmless selfishness never harmed anyone

he: hmmm , i think that is what i did this time

if i come to think about it

hmm hmm hmm
me: how interesting !

but you claimed the lack of em butterflies

he: hmmm

me: so make up your mind laddie

he: no butterflies
me: i feel you ascribe much to butterflies than exists and hence the fear to claim their presence

he: possible possible
me: rein your thoughts that transform from wild horses to petulant possom at every chanceto control the butterflies you must control your thoughts

Arbitness on a Sunday morning. Great start to the day :)

Oooo...an experiment landed itself in me lap this morning.

The boy announced rather matter of factly that he has decided to pay for a private parking space starting June 1st.

He says, post acquiring a parking spot he will take me out every night.

I have decided to make a project out of this initiative and study the pre and post parking spot versions of the boy.

I believe this study will throw light on the currently foggy perception of - parking lot being the reason for the lack of social life vs. the boy being the reason for the lack of social life.

Results shall be posted in three months, post tremendous analysis.

After Thought

Do I ask too much ? But I only ask once in a while.

Should I plan my back ups ? But that buoy is all I have.

Hope is all I have. Faith is all I need.

Do I ask too much ?
