The living word

Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.

Maniac?

Life is terribly interesting, with surprises at every turn. There's so much stuff to learn, and profound stuff at that. At times I wonder how come I wasn't born knowing all the stuff I know know [and will know in the future]. I figured though, that life wouldn't be interesting without those lessons, whether they come about in good or not-so-good events.

It's mid-month and I'm broke. Nowhere to turn for an extra coin. However, I'm not as terrified as I should be [I think].

The hypomaniac is making a comeback.

Life

This is a quote I got from some guy's site. Words to live by ...

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece. Rather, it is to slide across the finish line broadside - thoroughly used up - leaking oil - screaming "Geronimooo!"

A blog per day ...

I think a blog per thought is more like it. I get caught up sometimes and find that I have no time to put down my thoughts, mundane as they may be. Someone must have said this is therapeutic. I don't know.

I've had a week that has been typical of the weeks in the last 6 months. Somehow, for some reason, days just keep getting better and better from Mon to Fri. Problems get solved, stuff just works out better with each passing day. It just gives me a high, a wry smile on my face that I can't wipe off. That I don't want to wipe off even. The only thing I can do is thank God and do my best.

I'm not more deserving of anything than the next guy. There was a time when I used to think I'm a 'good' guy. Talk of kidding oneself! I suppose there are some 'good' guys out there but now I know I'm not one of them, and that has made me come down from the pedestal that I had put myself at, looking down at this person or the other. I'm still coming to terms with this realisation and learning a bunch of stuff, amazing and profound stuff, as I live each day.

No sex in heaven

Yup. There'll be no marrying in heaven and it follows that there will be no sex. I just found out yesterday and I thought I'd better jot it down before I forget. [Can I ever forget this?]
I guess there's more to life than sex, if that isn't going to be there in the after life, for those who'll be there.

Still here

I'm constantly amazed at life, and how much God does for us. [I won't even attempt to defend this belief or get into an emotional argument on it]
I overshot a milestone I had by a couple of days [not really that bad in the greater scheme of things] and had started becoming paranoid; each time my manager walked towards me I would slowly sink into my chair or otherwise attempt to become invisible. As it is, I still have a job and have realised that getting fired is not one of the things someone should be afraid of. [If you have dependants, kids and the rest, this statement may not be a good representation of reality]. Come to think of it, we aren't supposed to fear anything, so God says. Easier said than done huh. But who likes easy stuff anyway. It's always the hard/challenging stuff that's interesting.
So. I didn't get fired, but that's not the remarkable thing that once again makes me utterly speechless at my inadequacy. I write code for a living, [more like debug code] and the deadline I've been shamelessly crying about has to do with completion of some functionality. I was working with this other guy on two separate aspects of the problem and I was simply amazed at how few bugs surfaced when we put our code together. "You pessimist, baby programmer" I hear, and that may be true in some respects, but when you write [or copy] code that works without you having a clue how or why it works, that's amazing.
I can't wait for tomorrow!

Another day ...

Another challenge or ...
I had a deadline to meet today and inspite of working over the weekend [albeit for a total of about 5 hours] I didn't make it. Was at work by 7 am to put some final touches. Bottom line is it's been a bit distressing lookig over my shoulder wondering when my manager will come down on me.
What will be will be.

The chronicle begins

Blogging has finally caught up with me.
Let's see what the journey ahead brings.
