Barely.

buttt (not the one you are thinkin of!...though mine is quite niceish!) ;)

It's 'bout as bad as it could be
Seems everybody's buggin' me
Like nothing wants to go my way--
yeah, it just ain't been my day
Nothin's comin' easily

Even my skin is acting weird
I wish that I could grow a beard
Then I could cover up my spots
not play connect the dots
I just wanna disappear

[Chorus:]
Up--up--up--
Can only go up from here
Up--up--up--Up
where the clouds gonna clear
Up--up--up--
There's no way but up from here

Even something as simple as
Forgettin' to fill up on gas
There ain't no explanation why--
things like that can make you cry
Just gotta learn to have a laugh

[Repeat Chorus]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah...

When everything is goin' wrong
Don't worry, it won't last for long
Yeah, it's all gonna come around
Don't go let it get you down
You gotta keep on holding on

It's 'bout as bad as it could be
Seems everybody's buggin' me
Like nothing want to go my way--
yeah, it just ain't been my day
Nothin's comin' easily

[Repeat Chorus]

Oh-- I'm going up [4x]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah...
(Shania Twain - Up!)

Thinking of you!!

this is called quarter-life crisis...everyone goes thru it. so pull up ur socks n act.
wishing well for ur appa.
btw i'm surprised to see my blog url as one of the comments :|
# posted by Mustang : 2:26 PM
--- as am i now! thought you put it there? thats how i came across yours.
and i dont think this is what a quarter-life crisis is supposed to be like! that should be about things like - what do i give more importance to? job satisfaction or money?!?

Like everybody else I too am short of words & hope words could help. You seem to be a brave gurl & though nobody can fight destiny, I m sure u'll swim thru this though test of destiny.
All the very best dear.

sheesh indeed.

A) What i find sad with you is not that you are a 'could have been' but that you think you are a 'could have been'. Its never too late in life for anything.
B) How you treat your health is how much importance you give to your responsibilities. Your health/body/life is your responsibility.
C) I dont believe in destiny nor in faith. Spend as much time with your father as u can.
D) You write very well. Do continue writing.
Best of luck in life
Swayam | 09.25.05 - 4:40 am | #
--- a) i too DO believe that. unfortunately i have my weak moments too. i KNOW in the not too distant future i WILL post some achievement here. *fingers crossed*
b) trouble is - the american govt must give me the permission :|
c ) thank you for the compliment. though i am not entirely sure i deserve it.
as for writing. yes, i will :)

Been a while since you posted. How are you? Hope things have been better.
My situation has improved a lot. But it has been hell the last 4 months...
Ripcord | Homepage | 09.05.05 - 12:13 am | #
--- the last 4 months haven't been particularly good for me... hopefully everything is good in your world right now ?

You sure are a brave girl. Hang in there. Prayers for your dad.
Seema | Homepage | 08.26.05 - 6:40 am | #
--- life has a habit of throwing you some nasty stuff. considering it doesnt kill you it will make you stronger.
question is : what if you dont wanna get stronger?
iron woman doesnt want to become steel woman. :|

Take care

--- trying :).
how are things with you?

OH no! I'm so sorry, sweetie! That has to be horrible to be alone and terrified for someone.
6-12 is usually a conservative estimate, and as long as your dad is getting treatment, it usually turns out to be VERY conservative.

--- it had better be! he has signed on to teach my children tennis... and i am not even dating anyone yet! :)

--- ahem. am sorry. no drinking on the cards for me! not for a very long time! hope your trip was good... when do you leave for Oz ?

Will not presume to know what it feels like - vis a vis your dad. This too shall pass P .
D | 07.07.05 - 8:41 am | #
--- wish you had left a link..or atleast an email.. something tells me i know you. do i?
this reminds me of a wonderful phrase - everything will be ok in the end. if its not ok, its not the end!

Hi my Gal!! Gee, I'm sorry about your dad and all. It seems like difficult times, these.
Love you and glad to hear from you
happy | 07.05.05 - 5:37 pm | #

faith. there is a concept alright. very few things i have "faith" in any more.

Swayam: so did u find u'r raison d'etre and so now u dont have the time to blog anymore ??
--- ahem!! no... he.. or the lack of HE... has little or nothing to do with my absences from blog land!
though his presence wouldn't hurt at this time.

*************************************************************************************

also wanted to thank the wonderful strangers who took time out to send prayers / wishes my way via email and ecards!
thanks a whole bunch!
...and a quick special thanks to Nidhi for not only rushing to come and meet me at the hospital.. but throwing her AND her husband's bank balances open to me! (this after having met me only ONCE before!) - the blog world is indeed a powerful medium! :)
