The pine tree speaketh...

sound : an annoying buzzing sound from somewhere overhead

im in ther cafe again... i had typed out a huge entry and before i could publish it... POOF!! the current goes...then i had to wait a half hour before the current came again... there was a fire in one of the building near-by... atleast nobody was hurt..... lemme try to type the whole thing again...

well... my internet connection was all messed up for the past week so i could not come online after my birthday... yeah im 20... ya-fuckin-hoo.... big deal... i dont feel different and i aint different... and i was freakin over something so stupid.... ok ok... its only been a week... with my super pessimistic attitude and the luck that comes my way im sure to be in hell by the end of the year... but there is some good news though... the staff in the US embassy are comin back and they have already given visas to 2 or 3 people here.... thats good cos hopefully our visa will come through in a few months (4-5 max)... then i can finally get my butt to college and be happy for a change...

the past weeks been ok except for the withdrawal symptoms caused by my not getting access to the internet for a week... i am incharge of the pullikalli (a traditional mallu dance done on onam) for kairali (the mallu club out here)... its traditionally done with some drums and people dressed up as tigers (pullikalli literalli means tiger-dance)... since im incharge i thought id fool around with tradition... i chose six kids and for the music i took sepultura's "ratamahatta"... now this rocks without a doubt..... then i realise that i dont have the mp3 anymore cos my pc fucked itself up and is on the fritz... so i go to aj's place and ask her and she doesnt have the song... im going crazy when all of a sudden i remember that i had made a mixtape for a picnic we had and i vaguely remember putting this song in one of the 3 tapes.... i ask aj and she brings me the tape and voila!... ratamahatta baby..... im happy and i start practice and stuff with just this one tape in hand... no backups... i thought that i could go one or 2 practices without a safety net and then go to bala unc's place and copy it onto another tape... well y'day i goto bala unc's place and my tape had the honor of being the first ever cassette to be chewed up by bala unc's stereo... so here i am... in a cafe... downloading stuff.... what can i say?... life sucks....now that im here i got the song butr i cant have a cd with just one song right?... so im d/lin a couple of other songs to fill up the cd... im doin velvet revolver's "superhuman" now....

i got a hilarious ecard from arun for my birthday... ill paste in the message below...

To my dearest Avi...
"All Hail the al-Mighty Kundi Man (PBUH).... the most gracious the most
merciful..."May the udder of a million cows shudder the love of the universe
upon thee... Wishing you all the merriest and happiest wishes on the planet on
this pompous occasion of joy and happiness ... your BIRTHDAY.... so my dearest
pine tree... hang around to spread the word of the Rastafarian ...
Proverbs 15:17 "Better is a dinner of herb where love is, than a stalled ox
and hatred there with." HAVE YOURSELF A VERY VERY VERY HABBEEE BIRTHDAY.. and if
you can get a MADAM TO BOOM BOOM it'll be NAAT AT ALL THE BAD MANNER
FOOLE!
With Love, Peace, Respect 'n' Devotion;
Arun

i guess he was stoned or something when he typed that out cos... WOW!!!.... roy unc gave me a cool gift...i guess he knows how fascinated i am with arab instruments... he bought me an arab drum... its made of brass and its shaped so that it sits under your armpit or inbetween yur thighs (if you are playing it sitting down)... its cool and whenever i see it i cant stop myself from knocking out a cool beat or two...

with the money i got after working in the summer i have realized that i am a very stingy bastard... seriously...all i have got myself so far is a capo and a strap for the guitar... the srat is cool... its a fender strap, its black and has fender embroidered on one end...

superhuman rocks.... im listening to it right now.... the downloads are getting slow again... more and more people are comin to the cafe... if i could have afforded a dsl connection it would have been cool... i could get whatever i want... music, movies, software, games.... anything.... plus i get all of these in minutes.... i hate dreaming... makes me depressed realising how shitty my life has ended up being.... fuck it all...

i gotta get myself an oud.... hmm...
