I woke up today in jail. I received a DUI last night! I had to lie to get someone to come pick me up. It was awful because that person was my mother. I had to then tell her the truth of why I was arrested. She was not happy. Then, when I got home, I found that the cat had knocked my glass centerpiece off of the kitchen table and shattered it. So, I had to clean that up. Next, my girlfriend calls. She knows I have a drinking problem so I lied to her as well. Obviously, she will know the truth soon. Now, I am looking for local AA meetings. This is going to be a problem because I no longer am able to drive to the meetings nor are any close enough to walk or ride a bike too. So, I am pretty much having an amazingly bad day!

Woke up to the kicking of little feet on my shoulder. Great way to wake up I must say. This after a night of three young children awake when their heads should have been on pillows dreaming up whatever youngsters dream these days. My two oldest had woke up in the middle of the night and started to kick and yell at each other. I groggily went upstairs and did the referee thing. I ended up taking the four-year-old across the hall where he screamed for mom for about a half hour before he eventually fell asleep. Mom, of course, was downstairs in our bed with the two-year-old who has quite grasped the concept of sleeping with his brothers for the entire night. Who can blame him after the night’s activities? Anyway, he’s kicking my shoulder. There’s the alarm clock. No rest for the weary. I have to be hopeful that today will be better than the last five hours…

So far it was a typical type of early morning. The air was brisk, but not cools, as my significant other and I enjoyed the pre dawn air and stars accented by a waning cresset moon over the eastern horizon. The stars are more visible away from the city lights and this of recent days has come to be noticed more often.

The furry felines that share our humble abode were busy with their morning breakfast of beef laced cat food and quite content to leave alone the bugs that gather around the porch light throughout the night. The darkened peaceful start to another day will soon give way to the sun as it will reach above the horizon. The day however presents the strange lack of the rooster chanting across the vastness as his persistence was no longer needed as much as his contribution to the supper table.

This was the late sixties, when Spartan basketball was played in the men’s gym rather than the Civic Center Auditorium. The days when Crazy George was a student and a cheerleader there, with a drum head and enthusiasm. Half time was just a few seconds away, and the opponent had the ball and was killing time before the buzzer. With a few seconds left, they took a long shot and missed. A Spartan grabbed the ball, took a quick look at the far end of the court and the one second that was left on the clock. He then threw the ball like a pitcher throws a baseball. The basketball had just left his hand when the buzzer went off. The crowd watched it arc the entire length of the court and drop through the basket without touching the rim. The crowd went wild, Crazy George was banging on his drum head, and the score was tied at the beginning of half time.

I woke up today with a powerful feeling of confidence and I thought to myself, today is going to be the day in which I finally start working on my thesis. As the day went by, hundreds of small, everyday tasks prevented me from accomplishing that; showering, having a nice breakfast, checking my mail, reading the news, checking my facebook, going to the grocery store, preparing lunch, having lunch, resting, watching some television, playing some online games, visiting friends, going out and plenty of other very distracting and time-consuming things… and there goes another day without me working on my thesis!

Today I had a dash with my boss by morning, because I had not completed my work in time. But I got a splash of joy by evening, that’s because of my work. The whole day I worked, and I had not even taken my lunch. By evening, I have completed all my pending work and went to my boss; He splashed me with prizing I am an exigent employee.

So today I started with a DASH with my boss, and ended with a SPLASH of success.

We are four friends living together. It’s been three days, we are celebrating different occasions, firstly, the Janamasthmi (Lord krishna B’day), second, Independence day and today, Sunday we planned to watch at least four movies in continuity. So in the morning we ordered four DVD, 1 action, 2 comedies and 1 horror.

We also planned the lunch and dinner, as we are not making anything today but will order pizzas and burgers at home.

So finally we started 11:00 am with the movie “300″, action packed and was blown by it. And so on we enjoyed remaining three movies, watching and eating and making fun of each other. It was damn entertaining day for all of us.

And at last after taking dinner and finishing all four movies we went for night walk. It was a day we friends will remember forever.

When I was a student at Notre Dame, the primary sport, regardless of season, was football. Basketball was an afterthought in every sense of the word. That really changed my junior year. Even though Notre Dame’s men’s team did not make the NCAA tournament, it did host 3 games of the NIT. The third and final game, against Manhattan, was a thing of beauty. LaPhonso Ellis, playing his final game at the Joyce Center, put the team on his back and led the Irish to a 74-58 victory. More importantly, the students were seated behind one of the baskets, instead of their usual spot along the sidelines. Every student at that game and the two that preceded it are convinced that we helped influence the game with our noise and enthusiasm. For a few days in March, South Bend was home to a hoops hotbed.

I woke up in the morning at 7 o’clock. By 7.30 I was ready for college, now I could begin my morning internet-paper routine! I checked my mail, replied to the ones that needed an immediate reply and did a quick few hits on mturk.

Then I read the newspaper and had my cup of tea – without which I cannot bear to leave the house! I left for college at about 8.15 and had lunch at the canteen by 12.30pm. A few more lectures and I was back home by 4pm. I sat down to do a little project work for my main project, and then solved a couple of GRE verbal papers for practice.

By 7 o’clock I really needed some time off, and I went off to play football with my friends. I came back home by 9 and had my dinner. I read a book till about 10.30, and then went off to sleep.
