Changing Lanes

Firefly to me and a few other million people is the name of a television series created by writer/director Joss Whedon who I first came across while watching ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and ‘Angel’ on TV ages ago (I was in school then). I got hold of the series for my sister about 2 years back because she’s a huge sci-fi fan. Being a bit of a sci-fi fan myself, I’ve seen the series a couple of times and the movie called ‘Serenity’ that is based on the series numerous numbers of times. Love the characters, the concept, dialogues, the ship…basically the whole execution. The series didn’t last beyond its first season due to low rating and poor decisions.

Anyway back to the reason of this blog post, here is Firefly….an energy drink sold at Starbucks…. (O_O)

I’ve taken sleep deprivation to an all new level. During my school/college years getting 8 hours of sleep if not 10 was a norm without which you’d meet a cranky moody me (not that I need less sleep to be like that). Things have changed since then because currently 4 hours of sleep is a blessing, anything more is an endangered occurrence. In the past 7 days or so, I’ve managed a meager 20 hours of sleep. The tired look is what I now permanently fashion which meant I do (at last) look my age unlike the supposed school boy looks I had a year or so back. All I need now is some facial hair and I might just look 35 years old not that I’m aiming for that or maybe I am. Just take today for instance...woke up at 5:30am, played cricket from 6:30am to 10:30am in this heat, then went for prayers and had lunch, then went mall hopping till 7, got dinner for family and watched some IPL while it’s midnight right now and I’m still awake blogging about sleep. My step counter stands at over 16,000 right now. I am extremely tired but I can’t sleep. I’m assuming this is what insomnia feels like so maybe it’s time for some pills or whatever it takes to get some sleep...

On a different note, I’m broke. I haven’t been paid for over 5 months by various clients which means I’ve depleted most of my cash savings. I really don’t understand the funda behind the delay. I just hope I don’t have to incur some more bad debts because the amounts due this time are quite large and I can’t afford another blow to my limping career and bruised confidence.

I was half expecting to end up with cramps by the end of it but surprisingly I felt perfectly fine. I even wanted to walk back but due to other commitments via SJ, had to hitch a ride with her. I might weigh more but I am indeed as fit as I was before if not fitter. This feels good. ^_^

I broke my lens. The fishy eyed one. It has been improved upon. SJ wants to buy it. I think I'll make a profit. So I’m happy. Plus I got this shot to boot so I’m not complaining!! (^_^)
