Happy Birthday Pakistan

May you be rid of nepotism and corruption.

I’m not a huge fan of the United Nations. In fact, I find the body a synonym for collective impotency. For example, they needed a “petition” to pressure Burma to release 5% of political prisoners. Really? That said, nothing takes away from the brilliance of this ad campaign. In any case, I hate the new [...]

on being vulnerable

a year ago Pakistan was hit by the worst floods in its history, affecting 20 million people. a year later, 800,000 people are still internally displaced, and the situation looks like this:  there’s a beautiful collection of pictures from the flood @ The Atlantic’s In Focus. there’s a collection of beautiful photographs from pakistan 2 weeks [...]

“flex muscle and make sensual hair.” no, fabio! down, boy! and if you cant get enough of his handsome, like i couldnt, he’s also on twitter.

[...]

FML – FOREVER ALONE special.

pretty much. except my eyes are smaller. umm… on an unrelated note, people have been visiting the State by googling for “reasons why i deserve a promotion”. and hitting this post. which is 3rd in google search results.   a) i’m sorry the post isnt much help. b) dude, if you need to “google” reasons for why [...]

the lovables

I wanna write you a blob, i promise, but i keep on getting distracted by life, and things. like this. ketteh had actually fallen asleep on the keyboard while i was attempting to check my 5000+ or so unread items on google reader. *sigh*. forever alone it is, i guess. (right now it’s fallen asleep [...]

this better be worth it.

it’s 7:57 pm and im still at work, thinking about leaving, but afraid that if i do, the sky will collapse and the world will stop spinning. my other coherent thoughts have been that i need to hire someone to moisturize my feet (since i cant seem to find time), and that i really, REALLY [...]

The one in which i have a midlife crisis.

Ten days and no blob. What FAIL. It’s not that im super busy. It’s a combination of things like not having time at work to goof off (imagine that, tough luck, han?), or the energy, brain bower or internet at home to come up with something worthy. Oh. And somewhere along the last week, I [...]
