random thoughts on a random day...

...not really a random day, and not really random thoughts, given that the day is unique and the thoughts are specific - but pedantics aside...

Hamas wins the day. The positive take: Sharon was such a hardliner that the Palestinians were appalled when he was elected - but has he not been the most effective peace broker so far...perhaps the same with Hamas here? And we can hope that they renounce violence - on all ends - because the loss of even one innocent life, is one too many. So let's hope for the best - if there is no hope, what is there? ....besides, it was a democratic vote... and we cannot promote democracy and then bemoan the results...

Apparantly January 23, 2006 was the gloomiest day of the year. "Cliff Arnall, a health psychologist at the University of Cardiff in Wales, has devised a formula that combines personal and seasonal factors to calculate the year's emotional low point" Now while, I hate to admit that it was true in my case - here is the positive: at least the worst day is over and done with and I have the best day to look forward to - (June 23 according to the formula) though I shall believe there are many happy days in between)

The positive about the NSA scandal is that it can now be debated from a legal perspective. Freedom of thought and speech - ah, the positives of democracy!

Oh - and happy, happy news - Manchester United is now in the Carling Cup semi finals against Wigan - and surely they must win!

I am still beautiful - that's something to be happy about - not that I ever expect not to be beautiful - but I am positively thrilled about it everyday. Thank you God!

Truly I would love to explore my thoughts further - but I must finish up on a presentation for tomorrow - and of-course face another day in my relentless pursuit of being alive...

...but before I go, let me keep the promise to myself and consider something that contributed to my relentless pursuit. Today in the presence of such coldness, I found such my hero who redefined my capcity to feel. There are no words to adequately express how moved I am - but I shall carry the feeling in my heart forever. So today, a part of my heart was revived- and I felt braver and stronger and infinitely loved - in my relentless pursuit of being alive.

Wigan was a walkover - 5th round against Liverpool, though. Can they do it twice in a month? Hmmm here's hoping - I have a vested interest in MUFC performing.
