You have tested our family
This year after many
If there’s one thing we learned
Staying together matters more than any

A year of illness and a year of grief
Tears shed for a lost one
Hoping for recovery, still in disbelief
We have forgotten how to have fun

We push on this road forward
This journey called living
Death is all we march toward
Love is all we have for giving

Celebrate the ones who are here
Remembering the ones who have passed
In happiness and tears
This love will grow and last.

Retro morning

en route to San Fran to kick off this new gig with my old team and a tired client..listening to shakin Stevens crankin on the iPad..,,weirdly though this ain't popular music at all, reminds me of shitty good rainy days in Bandra growing up. Shitty because well life can be shitty sometimes, good because, well, it's all good once the Shit has passed. That's why we named our youngest one in the family ( our niece) Poopy!!!

I am a refraction,
of light and through pigments,
though transparent in my thought
dont know about where that sanity went

the loneliness, its getting to me
comfort in the arms of my best friend
someone so far away
cant wait, for these moments to end

the beckoning and nearness
that i share with you
i said i wanted you under my skin
my love, you know its true!

The Counselor

fave dialog from the movie - between the Jefe and the counselor

I would urge you to see the truth of your situation. It is not for me to say what you should have done. Or not done. I only know that the world in which you seek to undo your mistakes is not the world in which they were made. You are at a cross in the road, and here you think to choose. But here there is no choosing. There is only accepting. The choosing was done long ago.

Twinkle Twinkle North Star

Working with this software vendor has made me absolutely nuts...an ode to that company

Twinkle twinkle little north star,
how very difficult you are,
up above a world so high,
dealing with makes me cry,

 

When they show their migration code,
i feel like Genghis is attacking with his horde,
but then again the day gets good,
because i like wine and i like food

Friends and Debbie Downers

So i am back in the local area shlepping to and from a certain old client. Great to be back with friends - horrible to work with the same bullshit IT department all over again.

Happy New Year

onward and forward into life. for those that i care about: my wife, my family and good friends - here's wishing you all a very happy 2012.
