so i've been watching Sons of Anarchy. kind of makes me want to buy a motorcycle, but then i realize its only worth doing that if i also start running guns, drinking bad whiskey, killing people and going to jail.

sounds like too much effort for a guy like me........

its done. i quit my job. i've spent the last two days telling everyone. its been kinda weird, but now its over. and i booked my ticket to London for March 15.....new chapter time.

and tonight i'm going to see black francis (from the pixies) in hoboken. everything is good right now, my friends...........

la la la -- off to the office. except for today is the day i for surely quit my job. get ready for the Ka-boom........

the bad news is that i will be off travel for a MONTH (except for new york where the office is)......major withdrawal symptoms are on their way.....i haven't gone this long without an international travel in 10 years

Love it or hate it, I certainly...

7am in Delhi. hazy, crappy day and i didn't sleep hardly at all last night, despite assistance from mr Glenlivet...... but i feel AWESOME. i remember now why i do this -- because waking up in a haze not knowing where the fuck you are is the greatest feeling known to mankind.

heading to the gym for a while then i will go kick this...

somehow i made it to amsterdam. things are getting a bit blurry these days, but anyway i will be back in India in about 8 hours. this is clearly a case of running away from a problem (or a whole bunch of problems). job over. relationship over. etc. not that either of those are bad things, but putting humpty dumpty back together again requires a...

saw Swans at MHOW tonight. at first i didn't get it, but after a while i think they are pretty awesome. like Can meets Dinosaur but 10x louder.

and here we...
