Be nice to yu turkeys dis christmas
Cos’ turkeys just wanna hav fun
Turkeys are cool, turkeys are wicked
An every turkey has a Mum.
Be nice to yu turkeys dis christmas,
Don’t eat it, keep it alive,
It could be yu mate, an not on your plate
Say, Yo! Turkey I’m on your side.
I got lots of friends who are turkeys
An all of dem fear christmas time,
Dey wanna enjoy it, dey say humans destroyed it
An humans are out of dere mind,
Yeah, I got lots of friends who are turkeys
Dey all hav a right to a life,
Not to be caged up an genetically made up
By any farmer an his wife.
Turkeys just wanna play reggae
Turkeys just wanna hip-hop
Can yu imagine a nice young turkey saying,
‘I cannot wait for de chop’,
Turkeys like getting presents, dey wanna watch christmas TV,
Turkeys hav brains an turkeys feel pain
In many ways like yu an me.
I once knew a turkey called…Turkey
He said “Benji explain to me please,
Who put de turkey in christmas
An what happens to christmas trees?”,
I said “I am not too sure turkey
But it’s nothing to do wid Christ Mass
Humans get greedy an waste more dan need be
An business men mek loadsa cash’.
Be nice to yu turkey dis christmas
Invite dem indoors fe sum greens
Let dem eat cake an let dem partake
In a plate of organic grown beans,
Be nice to yu turkey dis christmas
An spare dem de cut of de knife,
Join Turkeys United an dey’ll be delighted
An yu will mek new friends ‘FOR LIFE’.

i renewed my library membership… been reading paper books for the last few days.. there is so much to learn that it’s overwhelming… also, my internet subscription expired… and i don’t feel like renewing for some time (i feel more productive offline)… i’m posting from a cybercafe right now
…i have so much to tell but i somehow end up not writing.. not that i don’t actually write.. i write.. in my head… a few days ago, i wrote a three part humorous column about my kitten, in my head.. yes… two days ago, it rained..you know how rare winter rain is.. i sat in a coffee shop.. having coffee.. reading a book.. people were running, trying to get out of the rain.. it was serene and peaceful.. and raining… and there, i wrote a really long piece about my life, the rain, the beautiful patterns of the branches of those trees, about my new year resolution, people running… yes, in my head… never put it on paper though… most of it is lost now… i’m thinkin about writing it though… someday… ….i’m content with just experiencing right now ..have my explorer hat on.. to go where no man has ever gone before …isn’t life just beautiful? 
.. i’m high on the complexities of Physical Universe thesedays.. 
…why the hell is this Universe so beautiful… i feel like i’m gonna die of euphoria…
…and a very Happy Holidays to you
Penguin: Waiter, one attack of euphoria please
Waiter: One attack of euphoria coming right up, sir
*attack of euphoria*
… i’m beginning to feel like a madman… i better run out of here

I’ve been thinking of going to the library everyday for the past few days. I haven’t read anything in like a month and yes I’m feeling very restless therefore. Add to that all the turbulences called my life and it’s just ermm… Yes time spent away from the ‘net can be good, but I start feeling very restless then. err I am a restless person by default lol.
You have a kitten? Cute! I like dogs better. Cats are kinda scary, but cute. Writing in your head? I know what that’s like, I might be carrying a book up there lol with all the thinking that I do. I do that often, I like doing that – reading outdoors. Rain — i have mixed feelings about it. sometimes it makes me sad, sometimes meditative.
Do you always keep having these lil conversations in ur head? I find myself at a loss of words these days. So much to say, yet I don’t know how to say it.
Whoever said you were sane?

restless, eh? …i started writing n posting online due to restlessness.. when you’re restless and you write, you write about yourself, about your personal life… …anyway, after some months of steady posting i felt that i was consistent and dedicated enough to maintain a blog, and started this diary… if i hadn’t been restless i would’ve never started writing… maybe restlessness was good that way… but it gets tiring after many months!
“Do you always keep having these lil conversations in ur head? I find myself at a loss of words these days. So much to say, yet I don’t know how to say it.”
…I don’t have the urge to say what I feel anymore… especially about my personal life… …i’ll probably start a blogging about science, philosophy, programming instead.. and some photography… personal life will be kept to a bare minimum… the kitten might appear now and then…
Yeah! lots of lil conversations.. not always though!
“I find myself at a loss of words these days. So much to say, yet I don’t know how to say it.”
… i feel like that a lot.. so what i do is, i just write down a vague sentence about what it is that i want to write about and then get back to it later when i’m feeling more creative..times when words flow like a river.. … but if i keep on pressing myself to write about it right away, it gets tiring… it’s not a freakin job! enjoy it… and besides, since i’m doing a lot of reading thesedays, i don’t get restless enough to be forced into writing! 
what is sanity anyway…

There r science mags for science, philosophy doesn’t interest me, programming is what school’s all about these days and photography flies over my head. Incomplete shots of meeeow at weird angles every now and then are welcome. Eventually I might be able to piece it all together
I went to the library yesterday
Sanity, I don’t know. I have yet to see it.
Happy New Year, Beautiful New Year.
