Mail from a frustrated chain-mail victim ...

I wanted to thank all my friends and family who have forwarded chain letters to me in 2003, 2004 & even 2005.

Because of your kindness:

* I stopped drinking Coca Cola after I found out that it's good for removing toilet stains.
* I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with AIDS.
* I smell like a wet dog since I stopped using deodorants because they cause cancer.
* I don't leave my car in the parking lot or any other place and sometimes I even have to walk about 7 blocks for fear that someone will drug me with a perfume sample and try to rob me.
* I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they may ask me to dial a stupid number and then I get a phone bill from hell with calls to Uganda, Singapore and
Tokyo.
* I also stopped drinking anything out of a can for fear that I will get sick from the rat faeces and urine.
* When I go to parties, I don't look at any girl, no matter how hot she is, for fear that she will take me to a hotel, drug me then take my kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.
* I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. A sick girl that was about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times. (Poor girl! she's been 7 since 1993...)
* I went bankrupt from bounced checks that I made expecting the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL were supposed to send me when I participated in their special e-mail program would arrive soon.
* My free Nokia phone never arrived and neither did the free passes for a paid vacation to Disneyland.
* Still open to help some from Bulgaria who wants to use my account to transfer his uncle property of some hundred millions$.
* Made some Hundred wishes before forwarding those Dalai Lama Ganesh Vandana, Tirupathi Balaji pics etc.. now most of those "Wishes" are already married (to someone else)

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you do not send this e-mail to at least 1760 people in the next 10 seconds, a bird will sh** on your head today at 6:30 p.m. Give me a break!!

modified logo ...





so in the recent past i've been providing material for this new idea that my friends on the other side of the continent have come up with called www.dippu.com ... firstly it goes against my place of current stay and secondly i feel the logo should have been more like this ... but who cares! ... i'm IN!!

Go Rasheed ... Go Pistons!!

Did you see Rasheed right from the start of the 3rd quarter ... like 7 pts in less than 2 pts ... then to make it even better 2 3-ptrs in a row ... more 3 ptrs later on down the game!!

Why didn't he play like this when he was with us?!?

Anyways, wonder if anyone saw the part where Iverson had an ice-pack pressed on to the left side of his head. I wish I could freeze the picture right there and post it here ... 'cos that's exactly what the Pistons are!! ... A Headache!!

From 16pts behind in the first quarter ... they come back with such form!! awesome talent!

The game's not over yet ... but I thought of posting it up anyways ...

my sis shaved my niece's (nysa) head!! i don't know for wat!! Posted by Hello

Passion CD!!

So I went and bought the "Hymns Ancient & Modern" CD ... oh & I love it ... I love listening (and singing along when no one's around) to these old hymns with a modern musical base.

Here's one of my favorites ...

JOYFUL, JOYFUL, WE ADORE THEE

We sing in jubilation, adoration to a joyful King
You are spinning and You are singing
Zealous love over all Your children

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Opening to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day

All Thy works with joy surround Thee
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays
Stars and angels sing around Thee
Center of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee

Mortals, join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning o’er us
Brother love binds man to man
Ever singing, march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music lifts us sunward
In the triumph song of life

I boldened the phrases I liked ...
Best part is that these CDs have complete digital files of lyrics & chords for avid musicians who want to play it themselves too!

The Notebook - sweet movie indeed

So finally after having it for more than a week, I sat down n watched the movie ...

I was taken back ... this was a really nice movie!! It showed simple but true & undying & unfailing love. It was a sweet story. (girl's use this word a lot ... but this time sweet's a perfect fit)

I hope I fall in love like tat soon ...

Update:
Actually the movie was kinda like 50 First Dates ...

google telephony!!

"First of all, Google has been noted to be purchasing large quantities of 'dark' fibre-optic capacity, on the cheap (much excess capacity was laid during those heady days of irrational exuberance) to increase its proprietary network bandwidth. To what end? Some of the most far-out rumours say that Google is developing a Skype-esque software that will allow high-quality voice communications over the Internet, costing virtually nothing to the consumer. If Google is making a play into the telecom arena, it would be a relatively late-comer in an arena that is widely populated.

Granted, having its own network capacity would allow the company to offer quality-of-service guarantees that some of its competitors could not, but there may be more here than meets the eye. Imagine for a moment what it might do with all those flashing bits lighting up its optical cables. What if the company recorded, and kept on its servers, a record of every telephone conversation ever made? (Ignore, for the nonce, the plethora of privacy concerns that jump out of the page). Now imagine it had technology that made those digitally-recorded voice calls completely searchable, as you would today search a past MSN Messenger conversation. What we're talking about here is the eventual creation of a perfect digital record of your entire memory, at your fingertips and searchable, all emblazoned with the Google logo and, certainly, some pertinent and unobtrusive advertisement. Scary? Maybe a little."

new old car!!

finally ... i got myself 4 wheels!!

u won't believe the pain iv gone thru for years relying on public transport, rides & rental cars. Ofcourse the rental cars were fun (some of my PDX homies would amen that).

nyways tat aint the point right now, now me is happy cos me is got myself an old car tat runs!!

so the car is ...
a '98 Mazda 626 ... V6 engine (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....)
(some of u are already like bobby's driving style and a V6 ... tis aint gud! ... it's ok i drive more carefully nowadays)
  • it has a very clean interior ... a factory fitted CD player (didn't know they put them in cars in 98!!) ...
  • AC & heat wit this cool "SWING" feature in the vents ... if u turn SWING on the flaps in the vent start swinging from left to right & back ... kinda like spreading the air all throughout the car ... to me it's like a hidden camera scanning my car every 3 secs :D
  • CRUISE!! ... i drive almost 11 hours every weekend to New Jersey/New York & back ... you do not want to drive up & down I-95 without cruise
  • cost me less than $5000 ... so it makes my car the official THENDI SHUTTLE of the east coast (representin the West Coast Thendis)
  • came with a 3 month/3600 mile warranty ... so i can offroad this car ... break every breakable part in it & drive into the dealer & tell 'em "FIX IT!!"
  • GREEN color!! I hate green ... green is yuck! Green does not mean anything ... Green is ugly ... Green should not have been a color in the spectrum of light!! But I didn't have a choice anyways.

I can go on braggin abt tis old car ... but I better stop here ... or else God will make someone crash into my car while I leave it parked somewhere ... and I go back only to see a crumpled up Green metal box ... and I would have to go car-shopping again!!

So I will not get too attached to the car ... i'll just put in alloy wheels, xenon-headlights, tint the windows ... put in new speakers & subs ... ofcourse the amp, XM satellite radio and last but not the least GPS navigation!!

Anyways ... I'm just thankful that I got myself a car ... I can move around without asking for favors nymore ... (if u don't know me well ... i love helpin ... but i dont like askin for help)

Honest wives ... such a dreadful thing!!

A man who was driving a car with his wife was stopped by a policeofficer. The following exchange took place.

The man says, "What's the problem, officer?"
Officer: "You were going at least 75 in a 55 zone."
Man: "No sir, I was going 65."
Wife: "Oh, Harry. You were going 80." (The man gave his wife a dirty look.)

Officer: "I'm also going to give you a ticket for your broken taillight. "
Man: "Broken taillight? I didn't know about a broken taillight!"
Wife: "Oh Harry, you've known about that taillight for weeks." (Theman gave his wife another dirty look.)

Officer: "I'm also going to give you a citation for not wearing yourseat belt."
Man: "Oh, I just took it off when you were walking up to the car."
Wife: "Oh Harry, you never wear your seat belt."
The man turned to his wife and yelled, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"

The officer turned to the woman and asked, "M! a'am, does your husbandtalk to you this way all the time?"
The wife said, "No, only when he's drunk."
