I feel old...

Just heard today that an old friends itty bitty little brother is getting married... the child is about lets see... 5 years younger than us i think... im in shock :)
 
Anyway.. i was at work today... on a sunday.. sad.. i know.. an i hopped on down to zouk to have the New England Seafood Chowder for lunch which i now have any freaking chance i get... so there i was the only lonely person in the entire restaurant.. apparently the rest of lahore doesnt come in till 2:30pm on a sunday for lunch.. so i had my food and then i was sitting there looking through the Zouk window.. the Zouk window now is covered with this swiss cheese steel frame and if you look at it long enough all the holes merge together to give you a fly's eve view of the world outside.. which somehow reminded me of this movie i'd seen when i was 12... Empire of the Ants.. on PTV.. the ants also have compound vision and kinda see the world through a conglomeration of convex lenses all bunched together..

Just the thought is enough to give one a headache...
 
sigh... So there you have it... i felt like a fly on the wall.. this would be the first time i have expressed these thoughts before putting them in a blog... it was a surreal feeling.. sitting there just staring at the steel swiss cheese and zoning out the rest of the world as it bustled about in gay abandon in my immediate surroundings.. excessively loud indian remixes played in the background... kinda irritating... but even they faded into the distance as my focus slowly shifted to the bits and peices of the picture i could catch glimpses of through the holes in the well... caught a bit of a Pakistani flag in one segment... saw a little boy walking past in another.. several bits came together to form the image of a large oak tree...
 
AND i discovered Picasa & Hello thanks to Umy... and will try to add pictures to my blog through that.. thanks umy..
 
too much thought can cause confusion instead of clarity.. my philosophy of not thinking overmuch is the perfect one.. except... i keep second guessing myself which kinda defeats the purpose... :) this too shall pass...
 
take care people
