If love was a joke, you'd be the punchline

I sit, having just enjoyed composing nonsense on other people's myspace websites. Feeling a bit excitable and a bit like a geek today.

I think I'm also feeling creative. I made a rather amusing birthday card for an Israeli friend, Ben, whose birthday it is today. I then found my drummer, Edan and had a massive public jam with him in a restaurant. It was rocking. I discovered a new talent - sitar style guitar playing. It involves tuning the guitar to open D or C and going a bit freaky.

The morning was spent discussing how the birthday evening would be celebrated. Various options, including massive drug benders, small drink benders, clean music benders, and just having sex with some benders were discussed. And then this afternoon, mid-jam, the heavens opened and an enormous flash-flooding hail storm hit Dharmsala. I suspect all plans are off given the rain and we will probably just sit in the restaurant until it gets dark and give him the bumps or something.

As I left the house equipped for volleyball, I am currently rather cold. The restaurant has a roof concocted from holey plastic and faith. It's all rather fun. I decided to warm myself up by ordering milk coffee and chocolate caramel shortbread cake and sit under the shawl of a cute Israeli girl. But then I got bored and decided to come say hi to you guys instead. India is so hard. It's just so hard.

The rest of the day will be spent talking to the girls Ben leaves behind. He seems to have quite a following given that he's very good looking, rather charming and yet manages to play hard to get with everyone. It's a high wire act I've been trying to pull off all my life. And somehow managed to fail at miserably, just upsetting everyone (including myself) and making me want to run away from those vile moon-affected creatures.

Yesterday I saw a very interesting film. "What the Bleep Do We Know?" I wonder if it's been released in the UK. Probably. Anyone heard of it or seen it? A bit like Conversations with God, the American tone was at times rather irritating but on the whole it had some rather salient points to make about humanity. The crux of the discussion was based on the introduction of quantum physics but it was essentially a symposium on God, religion, love and our general daily lives.

I just had a quick glance on Metacritic.com and the film got totally slated. Oh well. Shit, have I gone and lost all sense of perspective? It's possible. What to do.

Ok, I best go. Is it raining where you are too?
