Paresh’s Blog

ever been flipped off by a chart of U.S. GDP over the last 5 quarters? no? you have now:

and on a slightly different note, i just logged onto my xanga site and they were nice enough to inform me that its been 436 days since i joined. i’ve been blogging for more than a year now. since then, i’ve moved from xanga to my own site with my own blog. just for kicks, i thought i’d repost my very first blog entry from last april:

LOOK OUT!! Hide the liquor, shut the blinds and put the children to bed cuz I’m blogging and no good can possibly come of this. My thoughts are way beyond random and I apologize for subjecting the poor, misguided souls who find their way to this site to the aforementioned thoughts. To anyone who actually finds my entries entertaining, I highly recommend psychological treatment. In line with that sentiment: To anyone who found this first entry a complete waste of time and brain power, take comfort in the fact that you are completely normal and (for better or worse) much like me. Some of you still have time to run for the hills. As for the rest of you, don’t squirm cuz it’ll only make it hurt more…

haha, i was pretty dead on about random. just in the last few days i’ve had a random quote from dodgeball, complained about gift registries, and buying travel sized products. to everyone that reads this blog, i hope it hasn’t hurt too much. if it has, don’t worry, some tiger balm oughta take care of that.

‘f****** chuck norris”

HAHAHA!!

today’s quick wisdom:

if you ever want to feel like a giant, buy travel sized everything.

nothing makes you feel bigger than holding a tiny bottle of shampoo and a tiny can of shaving cream.

i went up to davis on friday night for an end of the year/graduation party my friend andy threw at his place. it was a good time. i’d been trying make time for a trip to davis since last september but wasn’t able to go until this weekend. it was a supremely long drive on friday afternoon since i cought rush hour traffic after work but it was worth it. i got to see and hang out with a lot of people i haven’t seen or hung out with in at least 2 years (more in a couple cases). we all just hung out shooting the breeze till 5am on saturday. i didn’t want to be the dork taking pictures all night but i am glad i was able to get the pictures that i did. all in all, it was good times.

for my davis peeps: i don’t have everyone’s e-mail addy’s so feel free to pass along the link to anyone that wants it.

that’s all for now. will have a real entry in the next couple of days.

poor yahoo! mail, forced to play keep up with with joneses. as anyone with a yahoo mail account noticed today, yahoo has delivered unto us 100mb of storage space (a slight increase from the old 4mb). since i was getting close to overflowing the banks of my inbox, if yahoo had upgraded just 2 days ago, i would’ve been stoked. but alas, i’ve had a google mail account for the last 2 days and i’m officially spoiled.

sure gmail can’t do the frilly stuff like bold or italics or smileys but those are all things which i never used in yahoo mail anyway. gmail gives me 1000mb of storage and, what i think is the greatest thing ever, the message board style organization of my e-mails and the replies. and its all for free. yahoo, is also offering 2000mb storage…for $20/year. i dunno, i give yahoo credit for trying but its too little too late (though sbc yahoo dsl subscribers get the 2000mb option for free but only for their master sbc e-mail account).

once gmail goes public, its gonna blow up and yahoo’s gonna be left high and dry. well, maybe not. i’ll probably start using my yahoo address for all my junk mail.

also, i’ll just get this out of the way now: next action star on NBC is going to suck like history has never seen and joel silver will officially be committing career suicide if he goes through with making a movie starring the people that win this thing.
