Tonight is the last light I will sleep as a civilian. Although technically I came under orders on the 26th of August, it’s only tonight that I feel, is my last night as a civilian. Starting tomorrow, I am a full-time soldier for at least a year and a half, waking up at o-dark-thirty every…

Arizona Thunderstorm
There is a thunderstorm brewing outside. One of the many we’ve had over the past couple of weeks. Thunderstorms in Arizona are quite simply, amazing. Dark clouds roil in the sky. They look like herds of elephants. If you look hard enough, you can even see some of them. A trunk here… a tusk there……
You Can Start Looking Now
I know I haven’t posted in a while. That’s mainly because I’ve been busy and lazy – an interesting combination. I was having my military training over the past two weeks, so I really didn’t have time to update my journal. In addition, my DSL service is being really flaky. I’m dropping connection and then…
I love this girl
Here’s an inanity: I am totally in love with this girl (more pictures here). I was at Sadhana’s house one day, and her amma was watching some Tamil movie. The “song and dance” sequence was on, and I see this really cute girl on the screen. So I immediately turn to Kala Aunty and go…

Sometimes I think that I know all there is to know about certain people who are very close to me. I even trust them implicitly. Then something comes along and blows it all apart. It took me about a year and a half to come to this decision. I didn’t realize how hurt I was…

Going to War
Maybe it was close to a month and a half ago, perhaps two months. I don’t recall correctly – as strange as that sounds. I should be able to recall an event so significant. I chose to join the Armed Forces of the United States in what was a relatively peaceful time. It was on…
The Internet is full of crap
From Friendster Today’s Forecast You’re still quite focused on your sweetheart, and the feeling is mutual. Have dinner out, and don’t be afraid to talk about the future. You won’t be the only person at that candlelit table who’s been thinking in terms of permanence. It’s all good, on both sides of that romantic candlelit…
Eye Candy
Oh yeah, and there was a ridiculous amount of eye-candy at Garba. How could I forget to mention that? Indian women are so gorgeous.
Lost Badge
Talk about a crazy way to lose my Intel badge. I was walking into the elevator when it fell down and into the crack between the external elevator doors and the elevator car. What are the odds?
