Life - Does it get to you ?

A very wise friend of mine inspired me to put some thoughts on to paper ( figuratively speaking ). If you fear what life has to offer, then you live in the sort of state of mind which prevents you from enjoying what is right before you .. thinking instead of what might / might not happen say 6 months down the line. So thats when I thought its better to let life hit you in the balls someday rather than fearing that life might hit you in the balls someday. That might not have made sense to a lot of people but thats the way it is. When you don't expect it and you get hit ( in the balls .. by life ) then u r in pain for a while .. maybe a few days but you will survive and move on and all the while you would have been having fun till the 'incident'. But if you keep expecting to get hit ( in the balls - by life ) then you today is as miserable as the day when u actually get hit and then the tommorow's are no better. So go on enjoy life and let it hit you when it wants to. Don't expect the unexpected ..... jus let it happen.

On the subject of Balls .. saw this awesome movie DODGEBALL which was so full of physical humor and some lewd jokes I guess but it was so much fun. Ben Stiller does surprise me with his ability to morph into characters which are actally so unlike him. Anyways their slogan is GRAB LIFE BY THE BALL. Now that is interesting ... I guess its reverse psychology ... instead of life hitting you in the balls .. Grab its balls.

Anyways hope all your balls are safe and you are moving ahead safely on the ball-bearings of life.

Balls to everyone.

The Sport of StickBall

Today was a fun day for me. Anything's fun for me as long as I don't have to study. Played my first game of stickball. For the stickball - virgins, stickball is an offshoot of baseball. Its played in a much smaller are than an actual babseball pitch, the bat is a lot thinner ( kind of like the dry brooms in India ) , and its played with tennis balls. So the rules are similar to baseball ... tag outs, home runs, running bases etc. My team lost 27 - 24 but I managed to hit 4 Homers and never struck out the whole game. And I was told that was kind of a big deal for a decent player, let alone a debutante. So at least now I have an alternate career option .. albiet an amateurish one.

Followed that up with Spiderman 2. For those of you who liked Spiderman 1 .. u'll love Version 2. Its a better story and the effects are just as good .. and a few scenes are heart stoppers. There are a couple of corny scenes in there but overall .. its a billion dollar making money machine. The producers are gonna laugh all the way to the Swiss Bank. For those of you who don't care too hoots about it .. don't go see it and spoil it for the rest of the people at the theatre ( like some girls at the movies over here did today).

Heading to sleep now. After a 15 hr day .. now I get 3 hrs of sleep before I head off to work again. Man life is tough .. but sometimes fun.

Cheers.
