Have you ever wondered what the song “Hit Me Baby One More Time” means? Neither have I, but I did today. So like all my other highly philosophical questions I asked it to AI, and the answer is really not what you think it is. She obviously doesn’t want her boyfriend to hit her, as in physical violence. Right? Please tell me you didn’t think that. So the songwriters were Swedish and somewhere stuff got lost in translation. They thought “hit me” means call me. What an innocent mistake, and your dirty little mind lied to you all this time. Shame on you. Let this be a learning Saturday for you whe ..read more

Stopped reading the newspaper altogether. Barely make it to the end of the front page on weekends. Also, I realized I don’t have to pay to read the front page of The Hindu. All these years I’ve been paying for nothing. I made some money selling stock. Dosage of anxiety/depression medication has been reduced. A friend told me that rarely goes well, but lets see. Got a little bit of nerve-racking news today. There is a slight possibility that I might have to relocate to Pune. FUCK. Two more months of probation, and I was supposed to lead a life of happiness, visiting motherland every other weeke ..read more

I somehow end up in a HUGE psychiatric hospital. Contrary to popular belief, my first instinct is to get out of there. So I’m in line to leave through one of the exits, but then a nurse spots me. She beings to try and stall me by asking questions. Suddenly she stops, smiles and lets me go. As I turn my head i can see another nurse sneaking near the exit. I see a needle in her hand. I continue moving, hoping to god that it’s for another patient. I reach the door, and just as I thought, she stabs my lower elbow with it. I sense feeling tired and …fuck it. You know the rest. forgot to say this wa ..read more

Somebody upstairs has got a Pomeranian, and the dysfunctional restaurant next door has an owner with a voice that can audibly match the pitch of the Pomeranian. So I am being attacked from the top and the bottom. Noise has never been an issue for me. I’ve heard horror stories of people having to bang on walls to stop neighbors from literally banging. Thin walls, spring mattresses, and teenagers are not good for a healthy state of mind. So, I know what it’s like out there in the “real” world, but just personally, I’ve never had to face a situation like this. I have been to this restaurant befor ..read more
