Eagles are back

Hey, Eagles are back after 28yrs with a brand new album.They say this might be their last studio album.So one of the greatest musical act of all time are finally over.The new album is titled "Long Road Out Of Eden".And as i found out like good wine they have only mellowed with age.They have still got that signature sound responsible for songs like,"Hotel California,Desperado,James Dean,Tequila Sunrise" etc.

If you need more info here is what Wikipedia has to say about them:------

The Eagles are an American rock band that was formed in Los Angeles, California in the early 1970s. With five Number 1 singles and four Number 1 albums, the Eagles were among the most successful recording artists of the 1970s. At the end of the 20th century, two of their albums, Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 and Hotel California, ranked among the ten best-selling albums according to the Recording Industry Association of America. The best-selling studio album Hotel California is rated as the 37th album in the Rolling Stone list "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and the band was ranked number 75 on Rolling Stone's 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.They are also the best-selling American group ever, with Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 being the best-selling album in the U.S. to date.
The Eagles broke up in 1980, but reunited in 1994 for Hell Freezes Over, a mix of live and new studio tracks. They have toured intermittently since then, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

In 2007, the Eagles released "Long Road Out of Eden", their first full studio album in 28 years.

Saint Rockey,Third time's the charm



Today I will talk about the St.Rockey incident.well 3 incidents,around two years back this bus called St.Rockey had a conductor and a cleaner who used to behave badly toward school kids, especially girls.One day,this cleaner while at the bus stand kind of insulted my cousin sis,Asha who is also the sis of my best friend.I came to know about this news from her brother.so,me, my bro(Muneem),Shafee(the bro of Asha),Achu(another cousin) and Gafoor(another friend) we waited for the bus at our stop and we stopped the bus and kind of manhandled the cleaner,nothing really serious, did not beat him up or anything just a few jabs and really scared him and threatened to kill him if he repeats this ever again.So that was over.

Second time the conductor of the bus after a hiatus of six months insulted Achu's sis.So we stopped the bus again but accidentally we beat up the cleaner again.I know it sounds stupid,we threatened the conductor but just seeing the cleaner pissed us off and we beat him up and tore his shirt off.So second time was done.

Now,third time the conductor insulted Achu's sis in bus,really badly for no particular reason other than she was blocking his way while he was walking.This time we were seriously pissed off,since it's the same guy.So this time we were kind of used to it,so we stopped the bus and told the passengers to get on another just so that we can stop that trip and give them some loss in revenues.This time we weren't nice.We really beat the shit out of the son of a bitch.It became a large crowd,everybody from Manjaly came and manhandled him.We kind of stopped that before it got,out of hand.If he dies we are the ones who will go to jail,not the rest.He kind of begged for mercy and said please don't do anything he has two kids and all.But we weren't in such a forgiving mode.After all this is the third time.So after beating the shit out of him we warned him if this ever happens again we will burn the bus with him in it.

I know this sounds really like a fantasy,it's not.The conductors and cleaners behave badly towards school kids and other teenagers(maybe it is some sort of perverse pleasure for them).More than 99% of the kids don't talk about this stuff to their parents.


Well after this long story here is the moral of the story-----

"You can be rude towards kids or girls,but if somebody even breathes bad on anybody from my family,they are going to get the asswhuppin of the century.Hmmm...... Moral over and out"

Carnivale

Well, I just remembered about a TV show i used to watch.Carnivale, it was a great show about good versus evil set in 1930's dust bowl setting during the depression era.The character depth was good,the hero became a champion of light very reluctantly and the bad guy was good at the beginning but he couldn't outrun his destiny to be the usher of destruction ie the Avatar of Darkness.Freaky characters, mysterious deus ex machina, epic storyline.Even the roles of seemingly minor characters was planned for growth at the beginning.But like all the great cult shows it got cancelled after two seasons because of ratings have fallen.So goes to purgatory along with Twin Peaks,American Gothic etc.It's my kind of show.It was said that this show was for people who thought that Twin Peaks was too accessible.Well actually I found this show and Twin Peaks too accessible,so more the power to me!!!!!!!!

Well you should check it out, here is a trailer for you

Lakeshore

well,was in Lakeshore hospital for the last two days.Was staying there with my dad because he had some tests to undertake regarding his diabetic condition.But , the administration there is pretty bad.Everything takes too fucking long, unnecessarily i might add.The security was rude to me so i kind of told him that he is a son of a bitch and i will break his teeth if he talks to me that way ever again.Next i went to the PRO(that is Public relations Officer,not the "pro" you thought although i know for a fact that she just got an abortion after one of my acquaintances got her pregnant)and shouted at her.She did not have anything to say, so i went next to the administrative manager of the Hospital and talked to him.He was an older chap so couldn't shout at him.So told him if we are paying for something we expect to get our money's worth and we should be treated with a little more respect since we are paying for it.the guy didn't seem to have any administrative power so I just stopped babbling and just said goodbye and went home.Anyway it was a fun day.I threatened a security guard with bodily harm,I almost made the PRO cry and talked to the administration manager, that should make life a little bit tough for some people in the hospital.


It was a good day,Just spreading misery all around

Storage and Management

Well,after i quit my job i kind of lost my priorities and was confused about what to do next,but the other day one of my cousins offered great advice which has again put me on track.I am not going to talk about how good that advice was because he might read this post and think that I am ass kissing,Which I hate to do.Now he gave me advice on specializing in storage and management.So now I have started researching on that subject.Already started with the basics and advanced things about SAN,NAS etc.Will move to vendor specific software only after getting the general things and basics into my head.

So somebody other than my parents put their trust in me for the first time in my short life,It feels good.I just hope I don't screw this up like I did with everything else in my life

Note To Self----I am getting too serious,should definitely develop a sense of humor about these things .Yup,sense of humor is a must

Marriage at Palakkad

I went to my best friend Firoz's cousin's marriage at Palakkad the other day.It was fun just traveling from Cochin to Palakkad in a bus.Didn't sleep for 24 hrs.just me and some friends traveling in the night.when we were traveling through Thrissur i saw the house of somebody i thought i knew but was wrong.she was my favorite person while i was growing up.But when i grew up I learned some truths about her that shook me through my soul.It was the first genuine shock experience of my life.But it taught me a valuable lesson that you can never take anything by appearances alone.what we presume to know about a person might be far from the truth as possible.While i continued traveling i thought i saw people and houses whom we were close with but has drifted apart,not because anything but human nature, Ego, Greed etc.I really do wish life was simpler and not filled with so many politics and psychological warfare as of now.But that is never going to happen so what we can do is make everyday life into a challenge and try to over come it,take everything with a pinch of salt,never trust anybody other than our selves and never expect anything.If we don't expect anything from people we will be happy if they do something and will not be disappointed if nobody cares about you(the latter is what usually happens)
