At the beginning with you

At the beginning with you

At the Beginning - Anastacia - by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis ( a few lines I was impressed)

“No one told me I was going to find you, Unexpected what you did to my heart.”
“Nothing’s gonna tear us apart.”

“Careless Whispers” - by George Micheal ( a few lines)
Though its easy to pretend I know you ‘re not a fool
Should have known better than to cheat a friend, Wasted chance that I’ve been given. So I am never gonna dance again the way I danced with you

Time can never mend Careless Whispers of a good friend
There’s no comfort in the truth.

“Tonight the music seems so loud. I wish that we could lose this crowd. May be its better this way we hurt each other with the things we want to say. We could have been so good to gether. We could have built the stands for ever. But Now whose gonna stay.”

Crazy english

  2. The movie kept me literally glued to my seat: How can a person be literally glued to his seat? should it not be - the movie kept me figuratively glued to my seat?
  3. A Non-stop flight: Hey! Never get on one of those you will never get down
  4. A Hot water heater: Who heats hot water! ?
  5. A hot cup of coffee: Who cares if the cup is hot? Surely we mean a cup of hot coffee.
  6. Its neither here nor there? Then where is it!!
  7. I will follow you to the ends of the earth: Let the words go to the four corners of the earth that ever since columbus, we have known that the earth doesn’t have any ends!
  8. skinny: If fatty means full of fat, should not skinny mean full of skin.
  9. Put on your shoes and socks This is realy difficult. Most of us put our socks first and then our shoes.

Grand Master - Shimabukuro Progression of Rank

He is our grand master shimabukuro.

Grand master Shimabukuro

He has attained all the 10 dans in Black belt.

In our style we the common sequence of ranks that we attain are:

  • White belt - Every one receives this by default. When we are given our uniform we get this along with it.
  • Yello belt - The next level, we are asked to do a katha, and a series of physical tests are conducted before we are awarded this belt.
  • Blue belt - The next level, here we are asked to do three kathas totally, followed by a series of physical tests like, frog jump, duck walk, knuckle pushups.
  • Green Belt - The next level, quite tough. I flunked once in this, I got my grade only in the next level. I flunked in katha.
  • Brown belt - We have totally 4 dans to complete in this level. I passed the 1st level, and due to un evitable reasons I had to discontinue my karate classes there after.
  • Black belt - We have totally 10 dans to complete in this level. It is extremely difficult to attain the 10th level. Even my masters from whom I had training where in the 2nd upto 4th dans. I am not sure about the 3 senior masters we had.

This I promise You - By N’Sync

When the visions around you, bring tears to your eyes.
And all that surround you are secrets and lies.
I’ll be your strength
I’ll be your hope
Keepin your faith when its gone.
The one you should call
Was standing here all along

And I will take you in my hands
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through. This I promise you

“Just close your eyes each lovin day and know this feeling wont go away”
“Without you in my life, I just would’nt believe in heaven”

Alvin and the Chipmunks - Such adorable movie

Posted by: lara   
September 11th,
2008

 

I have watching this “Alvin and the chipmunks” absolutely I am going to give all the best adjectives I know to describe it. Amazing, astounding, remarkable, incredible, wonderful, fantastic, and finally out of this world. I just loved the movie. Never mind I actually didn’t know those many adjectives it’s with the help of Microsoft word.

The best scenes I loved:

Theodore, when he asks to sleep with Dave, because he had a bad night mare and was scared, finally gets to sleep on his face when they wake up next morning, though Dave clearly says that his side of bed is nowhere near him.
When they go to the shopping mall and a kid starts throwing things on Dave, Dave thinks its Alvin and he starts to warn. But when our three heroes’ points out the kid, he smilingly tells the lady children are like that. She is surprised and asks if he asks kids.
He replies “Yes! Three boys, sometimes when they are naughty I feel like putting them all in a box with holes and put them right in the middle of the forest and runaway”. On hearing this lady is literally scared and runs off.
When Dave accidently steps on a few pieces of bread hidden under the carpet, looks at them and the three innocently answers, that they are just saving it for winter.
In the last scene when Dave chases the recoding manager to rescue the chipmunks who are caged, and when he is speeding hard, he finds the three of them are actually in his car. They coolly answer “We are talking chipmunks and we know how to get out of cage”.
The following scene where they all confess that they love each other missed each other and hugs, except Alvin. Who is the most intelligent and is not willing to open up. When they start to ignore, he jumps into a downpour of words ending with “I love you”.

I have been laughing and adoring the three characters Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. Of course Theodore is my favorite,

Theodore, my adorable chipmunk.

 Isn’t he lovely? Movie was full of fun; the right word would be adorable. The story is very simple; it’s about three chipmunks, who accidently miss their home at the forest and come to city. They find a new human father (Dave). At first Dave musical career is not sprouting, the recording studio manager feels that no one will sing the songs that he has written and he has to find someone to sing his rather boring songs. When he leaves the studio with frustration, the chipmunks (Alvin, Simon and Theodore) jump into the cookies basket that he is carrying home. This is how they get to come to Dave’s house.

Night falls and it’s a down pour outside. The chipmunks stand by his window and start singing a song, Dave immediately decides that the chipmunks are going to sing the songs that he had written.
He calls them back inside and they make a deal that if they sing Dave’s songs they get to stay with Dave at home.
But things turn out bad when the our three heroes fail to sing in front of the studio manager, and makes a fool of Dave in front of everyone who makes them believe that chipmunks could actually speak or sing. It was not intentional but they were just scared.
The same morning, He loses his career when the three heroes show their drawing skills in Dave’s presentation charts, in the mean time the whole house turn out to be a mess by the time Dave gets back home.
That night because of our heroes, he is made a fool of in front of his soul mate. Dave is tremendously angry and goes to sleep yelling at all the three of them. Then whole story goes really fast, our heroes (Alvin, Simon and Theodore) try to make up for the entire fault and goes to the recording manager, and sings the songs. They become pop stars over night. Money and popularity makes them forget their Dad, and when they face hard ships they realize their mistake and they are back again as one family.

The Zodiac Killer - Unsolved mystery till today.

Posted by: lara   
September 9th,
2008

The Zodiac Killer is a serial killer who operated in Northern California in the late 1960s. His identity remains unknown. The Zodiac coined his name in a series of taunting letters he sent to the press. His letters included four cryptograms (or ciphers), three of which have yet to be solved.
Crypts by The Zodiac

The Zodiac murdered five known victims between December 1968 and October 1969. Four men and three women between the ages of 16 and 29 were targeted. Others have also been suspected to be Zodiac victims, although inconclusively. The lack of agreement about the number of victims, the incapacity of law enforcement to crack the ciphers, and the fact that several people have inconclusively been portrayed as “persons of interest” or possible suspects, has brought out this case’s designation as a perfect crime.

In April 2004, the San Francisco Police Department marked the case “inactive”, but reopened it some time before March 2007. The case remains open in other jurisdictions as well.

As per one of the letter that he sent to the editor

“This is the zodiac speaking up to the end of Oct I have killed 7 people. I have grown rather angry about the police for their telling lies about me. So I shall change the way I collect my slaves. I shall no longer announce to anyone. When I commit my murders they shall look like routine robberies, killings of anger & a few fake accidents etc

The police shall never catch me because; I have been too clever for them.
1 I look like the description passed out only when I do my thing, the rest of the time I look entirle different. I shall not tell you what my descise consists of when I kill

2 As of yet I have left no fingerprints behind me contrary to what the police say in my killings I wear transparent fingertip guards. All it is is 2 coats of airplane cement coated on my fingertips — quite unnoticible + very efective

3 my killing tools have been boughten through the mail order outfits before the ban went into efect. Except one & it was bought out of the state. So as you can see the police don’t have much to work on. If you wonder why I was wipeing the cab down I was leaving fake clews for the police to run all over town with, as one might say, I gave the cops som bussy work to do to keep them happy. I enjoy needling the blue pigs. Hey blue pig I was in the park — you were useing fire trucks to mask the sound of your cruzeing prowl cars. The dogs never came with in 2 blocks of me + they were to the west + there was only 2 groups of parking about 10 min apart then the motor cicles went by about 150 ft away going from south to north west

p.s. 2 cops pulled a goof abot 3 min after I left the cab. I was walking down the hill to the park when this cop car pulled up + one of them called me over + asked if I saw anyone acting suspicious or strange in the last 5 to 10 min + I said yes there was this man who was runnig by waveing a gun & the cops peeled rubber + went around the corner as I directed them + I disappeared into the park a block + a half away never to be seen again. [This section has been marked off with the note "must print in paper."]

Hey pig doesnt it rile you up to have your noze rubed in your booboos?

If you cops think I’m going to take on a bus the way I stated I was, you deserve to have holes in your heads. Take one bag of ammonium nitrate fertilizer + 1 gal of stove oil & dump a few bags of gravel on top + then set the shit off + will positivily ventalate any thing that should be in the way of the blast.

The death machine is all ready made. I would have sent you pictures but you would be nasty enough to trace them back to developer + then to me, so I shall describe my masterpiece to you. The nice part of it is all the parts can be bought on the open market with no questions asked.

1 bat. Pow clock — will run for aprox 1 year
1 photoelectric switch
2 copper leaf springs
2 6V car bat
1 flash light bulb + reflector
1 mirror
2 18″ cardboard tubes black with shoe polish inside + oute

the system checks out from one end to the other in my tests. What you do not know is whether the death machine is at the sight or whether it is being stored in my basement for future use. I think you do not have the manpower to stop this one by continually searching the road sides looking for this thing. + it wont do to re roat + re schedule the busses because the bomb can be adapted to new conditions.
[Here the Zodiac's crossed-circle has been modified with five Xs drawn along the symbol's left side]
Have fun!! By the way it could be rather messy if you try to bluff me.
PS. Be shure to print the part I marked out on page 3 or I shall do my thing.

To prove that I am the Zodiac, Ask the Vallejo cop about my electric gun sight which I used to start my collecting of slaves.
Influences:
Heriberto “Eddie” Seda (born July 31, 1967) is a serial killer who struck New York City from 1990 to 1994. Before being caught on June 18, 1996, Seda killed three people and critically wounded four. Seda is believed to have admired San Francisco’s Zodiac Killer for avoiding capture. In 1998, Seda was convicted and sentenced to 235 years imprisonment..

Here we go, this is a response to the blog: Most favourite Bharathiyar Kavithai

This is the best I could do, Hope I have conveyed the meaning in a understandable manner.

Made a good Veena, will I throw it for waste?
Please tell me oh goddess siva sakthi – you have created me with this bright wisdom.
Will you give me strength, to live my life useful to this world?
Oh Goddess please tell me, or will you let me become a burden to this earth on which I stand upon.
Please give me a body which can sing in praise of you even when it is hurt with burnt.
Give me a faultless mind, and a life that will light up every day.
I asked for a steady confidence, and do you have any objection in granting me this.

There is another famous saying from Bharathiyar Poems.

“Thani oru manithanukku unavillai ennil, Jagathinai azhithiduvom…”

It means If a single person does not have food, then we will destroy this world. Here the last two words, Jagathinai azhithiduvom - has two meanings…

1) Jagam - world
2) Jagam - farms

This sentence is often mis-understood, as destroy the world. But I believe bharathiyar simply meant to destroy the farms, and not the world itself when people are in poverty.
