i hate cheesiness !!! grrrrrr!!!
The objective is to not get hung up on the spelling. In a broader sense, (?) I've always said that to people who try to correct my graMM"ar/pun.c,tua;tion/pronuncia(a)tion/spelllling. Given the fact that they do know what I am trying to say, I ask them instead ...isn't the purpose already served? But no, before even I can retort, there are gestures, remarks and bs of all sorts, for the purpose of my english rehabilitation. Fuck that. The idea is to bitch about american cheesiness. This is not a cultural thing, since I've noticed it between americans. The ability for people to appear frinedly when it matters to them, but be consciously indifferent when it doesen't. It has to be conscious, otherwise it would just be like dumb folks with targeted amnesia. I simply cannot stand this dishonest facade of trying to appear to be friendly when you need to get some work done and then jerk your head in the opposite direction when you see that same person elsewhere. Now, I might return to the whole waving thing and stuff like that, but there's a point to be made. Don't you feel awkward when doing something like that? Maybe it is some weird sense of pride? But until I can find honesty in these people, their souls can kiss my ass. Ahem !!

the nuke in my mind
As you sow... Let's keep the facts blurred for the moment ! It is ironic that the word "seed" should have this whole new connotation in the torrent world, that I seem to have ignored in the past few years. I probably am the only desi grad vouching for anti-piracy laws as of this moment.. Ahem ! Anyways, I have been trying to come to terms with some crude facts about myself, these past few days. A chain reaction of sorts, brews in my head everytime I am put in one of the following situations. The premise is that I despise dishonesty. Being the dick that I am, I sometimes wonder whether this is too much to ask of people around me.
Level 1:roadside etiquette part 1...This is not about peeing in the bushes. What's with walkers these days? Don't think that your actions on roads go unnoticed. Here's to y'all with an attitude on the road, what I now choose to call "conscious paralysis of the walker's hand". When was not waving a cool thing? Some of you are gonna say "always". But I am neither looking for a mexican wave nor I expect someone to take out the folding chair. You know, just the good old single handed elegant wave to signify a sense of familiarity: Hey, I do know that person but I now better get back to my walk to avoid that tree !. That is pretty much what "I" expect and I promise I won't make you a contestant in dumb charades "on the go". BUT NO !. I am pissed off with these "suggestive" attempts of knocking my hand down....even when I am on the same side of the road !! Now I think there are too many quotes in this petite para. See what you people have done to me? Let me assure you that waving by itself is not something to be laughed at!!
