Here we are
On earth together
It's you and I
God has made us fall in love
It's true
I've really found
Someone like you
Will it stay
The love you feel for me
Will you say
That you will be by my side
To see me through
Until my life is through
Well in my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I...
I'm glad
At least in my life
I've found someone
That may not be here forever
To see me through
But I found strength in you
Cause in my mind
You will stay here always
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I
In my mind
We can conquer the world
In love you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I...

Apologies for the long slumber… Was a bit busy with the shit load of bugs that keep popping up before the release at the beach house and was going nuts with trying to memorize all that EJB stuff for the J2EE exam…
It would have been a sin not to post a blog about the lovie dovie month of February. Even though we have come to the end of the month thought of penning down some words about it from a male perspective. Considering the fact that the Valentines Day is a great opportunity to dissect the incongruous human behavior when it comes to that sweet four letter word called LOVE.
For the mediocre male homo sapien the 14th day of February would be just another day… Yet for those Casanovas hell bent on impressing upon their lady friends their true and undying LOVE, it is another story.
Rather than criticizing the pandemic behavior which takes place during this day, I’d like to explore what might attribute to such behavior especially in a country like SL.
So what does make us lose all reason when it comes to LOVE? I have seen some discussions on the tube recently about some pundits trying to connect this word to sexual desire and trying to paint the young as a hallucinated generation of drug addicts and sex workers. WTF?
I might not agree on how some people celebrate Valentines Day or maybe even the fact the need to dedicate a special day to do that. Yet trying to define an emotion by the acts of a few should be condemned. It is these kinds of twisted interpretation that lead to what everyone terms as the cultural divide.
My view on the matter is somewhat undefined. After all the observations and conversations I’ve had with my friends and by my own experiences, I find it difficult and uncomfortable to find a reason to why we behave like total idiots to impress women we are in love with. Is it sheer stupidity?
Maybe the reasons are seen as primal in nature, yet it seems to be mixed with the cravings of the human to seek affection and companionship.
So in other words we all are fools when it comes to LOVE. Happy belated Valentines Day wishes… Calvin signing off……

Christmas is here again…
Although I’m a Buddhist and don’t really celebrate Christmas it’s pretty hard to ignore the Christmas spirit in the air …
May it be the long queues at shopping malls and dress boutiques or the never ending search for a parking space during any time of the day or the hyperactive DJs playing Christmas songs over and over again while claiming that their station has been declared the official Christmas Radio station by some unknown decree; one would have to be pretty ignorant not to notice this euphoria during the last month of the year.
Sadly I’m not as ignorant as I thought myself to be.
Don’t worry guys… this isn’t another post about the intolerable commercialization of another hallowed festival nor an analysis of how Saint Nicholas ended up wearing red pants cleaning chimneys.
Rather.. I’d like to reflect upon a tragic incident that occurred almost one year ago on December 26th which claimed many innocent lives and proved how minuscule and helpless we are to the wrath of nature.
Although so many words were told by many a scribe about this tragedy and so much of work has been done to bring normalcy to our brethren affected by the Boxing Day tsunami, that fateful day will remain in our minds and our hearts forever.
I’d like to finish off my post with a little poem that caught my eye recently while browsing through my mail box.
"Darling little angels – It was time for goodbye
Darling little angels – Our time to cry
There’s one thing – we’ll always do
We’ll always love and remember you.”
