Sigh...

Today I am in a wierd mood. I am feeling a deluge of mixed emotions- happiness, calmness, excitement, enthusiasm, boredom, tiredness- you could say I am a chalta-firta oxymoron :) Actually these feelings are a direct result of my hectic weekend, the lack of sleep, tired muscles and an almost flat ass (the result of all that biking :D). At the same time I am looking fwd to the week, plan to totally freak out, stretch the elastic, see how far I can go...

I have a race against time and am definitely going to win the race (and no I am NOT going to be the tortoise- I'll simply be the hare; but won't fall asleep). I am going to squeeze time and basically "drink life to the lees"... and now that I have quoted Tennyson, I might as well put in a small para from Ulysses- one of the most inspirational poetry for me~

I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'
Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.

How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
As tho' to breathe were life! Life piled on life
Were all too little, and of one to me
Little remains; but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this gray spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.
