The mountain goat run
The results of the race are on the net at the following address:
http://www.leonetiming.com/2008/Goat08.htm
I learned a few things from this race, and this has been a common theme in my life so far. Most battles are mental. Physical barriers are for the weak. We often underestimate our own abilities and shortchange ourselves often. It is hard to put things into perspective, but that is an art we all need to learn. Also, age is no barrier to most things in life. Finally, we msut back ourselves to the hilt and trust our abilities, more than anyone else.

Unwitting
Me: Hi
She: (after a long pause) Hey!
Me: u busy?
and I think...gosh...thank God there wasn't a typo there...busty? (considering how close t and y are on the keyboard)
It'd be funny if I said that to a guy who had man-boobs, but thankfully..I don't know (m)any [??...?] such men.
Sorry for the diversion. I have too many of those sometimes. Often I've been accused of having a sense of humor skewed towards lewdness. But hey, at least I have a SOH. Someone once told me "better a witty fool than a foolish wit". Gosh, how much people love talking about themselves. But this is my blog, so duh! I've often read blogs (including mine) where people when they write their first blog, have a "this is my first blog so I have to give a reason to blog-blog' and then when they come out of a hiatus have a blog like this one I am writing. Seriously. We humans lack imagination. Wow! I do have some random neurons firing as I write. And btw, I am watching Davydenko play Nadal in the Sony Ericsson final as I write, so that might explain all the randomness. (how??) Talking of which reminds me that while I was watching the women's final yesterday, I see Serena Williams struggle against Jankovic after having a comfortable lead and I think, wow! here is a champion player who has won 8 grand slam titles, and come match point, is a bundle of nerves? Only proves that even champions are human. Well I doubt anyone ever doubted that, but just a mini-epiphany.
I always think I should write stuff which is thought provoking, brilliant, lucid and read-between-the-lines profound .
Like that is ever going to happen.
So I revert to writing such blogs which are simply clogs. Btw, the match is fantastic, and yeah, I know, my jokes aren't that funny. Probably you are thinking, there was a joke somewhere here? Well people, blogs..clogs. Oh! nevermind.
And just a word about my previous blog; It was a 'I got this idea, I should jot it down' blog. I should probably work on a short expansion. Aha..another oxymoron.
A pj to sign off: If Indiana Jones was made in India, it would be named: Indian Jaanu.
Sorry.

Oxymoronic?
So if I cry, they are tears of joy
If I fail, it would be at a successful attempt
And if I die, I would at least die alive!

The Ironies of liFe
When you are feeling low
Have you experienced,
A washing- over of the anxiety
by waves of sudden relief?
Joy sweeping you over
Inexplicable, the source untraceable…
When you've lost a loved one
Have you experienced,
A sudden susceptibility to laughter
to anything remotely funny?
Tumults of joyous giggles
Incongruous, unexpected, transcending…
When you finish a arduous task
Have you experienced,
A lack of an exalted reaction
contrary to an expectation of relief and joy?
A feeling of suddenly having nothing to do
Anti-climactic, surprising oneself…
When you've coveted something for long and get it
Have you experienced,
A feeling of indifference,
where ownership means nothing?
Your mind already eyeing the next fancy
Ambitious? Decadent? Materialistic?...
This is the beauty of the human psyche
And it is also it's irony
It plunges you into the depths of despair,
elevates you to the zenith of happiness
It keeps you happy with the least and
sometimes makes you keep wanting more
But…. The element of surprise, will never lose it's charm for me.
