talk is cheap
I've talked too much today.
lush. plush. blush. mush. gush.
The Qua'ran has been translated so many times, and yet I wonder whether the muslims consider it sacreligious. VendingMachineTerrorist says he thinks only some of them are. I met him today, clutching a book on Mohammad, spelt Muhammed. He said Arabs don't use 'bin' anymore. That bin Laden for example is just a family name. Just like how some Indians now use surnames as well, surnames.
We were discussing Karen Armstrong- and then I found out her 'seminal work' is on Buddhism. Which means I'll simply have to read it.
I want to read more of Rumi. I want to buy Khalil Gibran's The Prophet.
I want to watch Russell Peters.
I want more time, and less procrastination. I want less hot nights. I want not to hear the empty sound of my own voice echoing in my head. I want not to type all this crap out because it's just me talking - online. But if I don't, then I'll simply talking to myself, in my head.
And so I keep talking.
Talk is cheap afterall.

in another case of the blogging world being one of the 1st places to get news, the Sumatra earthquake was 1st reported on blogs all over before hitting news networks.
Hello blogger power!
Apparently it's 8.2 on the Richter scale- pretty close to the tsunami quake's force.
A quake on Boxing Day and another on Easter Monday. Is something trying to tell us something?

I have to start saying my goodbyes into the autumn wind.
It's such a paradox that my goodbyes have to start emotionally, when all that's left when I leave will be in my heart.

woke up at 6.30 today so that I could get to the one and only Balance class I can make all week. I swear, I'm not a morning person, but if I don't do my Balance class, I go even nuttier than I already am. And not in a nice way. Normally, I'm nice nuts. Without Balance, I'm not-nice-nuts.
