The March of Time
Posted Mar 29, 2004
It is almost 7 months since my last entry. I have been through a lot of ups and downs since then...well, perhaps not so many ups really...the number of valleys seem to be more than the number of hills. Well, I take it all in my stride. I am still waiting....as a matter of fact, that is how I have felt for a long time now. It is more like me waiting at a station, waiting for a train...and the train never comes. I am still at the starting block. Sheesh! I hate this feeling, this time I really have to make sure the train comes and I get into it.

Of dreams and another day
Posted Aug 8, 2003
I dream of being a writer. With a unique style. New ideas. Good readership. And I dream of seeing my name in print. None of it has happened yet, except in my dreams. My friends tell me to at least try. Without even trying, you'll never know. They are right of course. But I am too lazy or maybe I just don't have it in me, though I don't like to admit it, even to myself.
I sit at my computer and feel, "Shucks! the screen strains my eyes. I should write long hand and then type it out." So I turn my chair to my desk. I sit there with my chin resting on my palm, a pen loosely held between by index and middle finger. That is, what I suppose a thoughtful pose. Supposedly shows that I am thinking of things great and small. Ideas that will soon be translated into words. Coherent words. Words that make sense. Words that strung together will form a neat sentence.
The phone rings. I snap out of my reverie. *Sigh* I close that neat, ruled excercise book. "Another day, I tell myself. "When the ideas crystallize." A small voice somewhere deep inside me says, "Huh!" Of course, I ignore it. There is always another day, right?

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
