Ok ok,

The Last few weeks or the last few months have been about as pleasant for me as (pick one) :

a. using a rabid porcupine to scratch my back.

b. having a head that looks exactly like a soccer ball and living in Brazil.

c. being Darth Vader about an hour before he gets the helmet and suit.

That’s because i have just met my project deadline. Its over now and completely successful. For the first time in many months now, i can breathe through my nose again. I can start writing crappy articles like this one again. For those of you thinking about the same plight that you are in, I’d say its worth it (now that its over, i can start talking like a saint). I finally got paid and now i am already contemplating of avenues to invest the money in.

I’m also thankful that my particular skill set includes writing Web applications in ASP and PHP and troubleshooting server inconsistencies. I could have been born with the skill for painting miniature Taj Mahals on bottle caps. I’m lucky and thankful for it.

I’m thankful that I can reach almost every part of my body in case I get an itch. Except for the middle of my back, which is the only place I ever get one. But I’m not going to quibble today. I’m thankful.

They say that speed kills. I am not really sure who “They” are, or what’s being killed, but if the dictum is true, then i am thankful that i have managed to hold on to dear life and not kill anyone. I will come up with a warning label for 2007.

I’m thankful that i don’t get turned on by looking at myself in the mirror. My friend Tok, can stand by the mirror touching himself for hours at an end. I am thankful i am not him. I am thankful.

I’m thankful that i’m not married or don’t have kids. Its getting freaking uneconomical to actually raise children. i would like to propose to the relevent authorities to encourage people to raise chickens instead. I should also be probably thankful that i dont’t pay tax, but somehow i always feel that my money is being absorbed by an agent in a black suit employing his cheap jedi mind tricks on me.

Life is about making choices. There is no other choice. I am thankful that i have never had to choose the wrong ones.

I’m sure there are a more things I should be thankful for, but I take all of those things for granted. And the privilege of doing so is perhaps the thing I am most thankful for.

To my fellow friends and readers, a new year brings its own set of challenges. But lets always remember the past and be thankful for the good things in life. When was the last time you thought about what you would want to be thankful about?

Cheers

ps: Joyous 2007 everyone !!!
