The nutritional value of networking

You know a lot of people underestimate the power of networking. But believe it's huge. This new book I'm reading: Never Eat Alone. It truly exemplifies what it's like to go out there in your community or in the world and make friends like never before. People are who save our lives and guide us towards novel opportunities. It could lead you to a new job, new car, or even a new girlfriend! Point is that it is very crucial to build a lifetime community of mentors, colleagues, and friends. More on this later when I can think better.

Trying to find a song

You know I'm constantly on the go in cyberspace when it comes to finding an unknown song. I google the lyrics nothing pops up. I search endlessly until I collapse and can't twitch a muscle.

I crawl the falls across the desert ta da ta da da,
we walk for miles and miles to find where we've been.... all along.....

And the rest I do not know. I'm dying to locate this song but so far no luck. I just hate it when that happens. You loop this song in your head but have no idea about the song title or artist. You spend minutes sometimes even hours searching and nothing comes up. Such a frustrating feeling.

You know I feel bad for the bashing Taylor Swift received from Kanye at the MTV music awards last night. Wondering why Taylor didn't retaliate by talking shit about Kanye at the Subway stations through lyrics. Look out folks for a song on Swift's upcoming album titled "Kanyay is gay". Would I wanna listen to it? Text y for yes and FUCK NO!!! for no. Seriously I FUCKIN HATE COUNTRY SO YEAH THAT'S RIGHT UP YOURS MS. SWIFT. And Beyonce is no better 'cept when she's performing with Destiny's Child.

Can deep thinking cause brain damage?

As usual, I'm in Level 10, deep thinking mode. By now my mind should be exploding but surprisingly enough it hasn't. Still clueless as to how I was able to get my ass outta the house. Surely, the thinking has contributed to my sinuses. You know it is so discouraging chatting with my parents about my future endeavors. They say they're not judgemental but naturally as parents they become so. No wonder I don't feel comfortable speaking to them more often. Perhaps I should stick with the people that give me positive feedback rather than people who criticize and say that you should be doing things a certain way. Following tradition is definitely not one of my greatest strengths. Okay so it isn't even strength. I just have no idea how other Indian post grads American communicate their career ideas to their parents. Maybe all ABCDs get spit at when talk about getting into areas that the parents don't approve. I just ask: Did God have to make me this sensitive??? Maybe I should just stick to my own guns and quietly manuever around people that are in areas I'm passionate about and not share with my parents anything. Besides, there are other people I can talk to like Vinayakuncle and Girish. Two of the prominent figures among the Indian community in my eyes.
