So it’s no surprise that in New Jersey in the winter it snows. So I have a question which I long for someday to get an answer to. Besides from weather men having to lose their jobs or at least be scolded when the induce fear into millions of people by telling them to “duck for cover, a HUGE snowstorm is going to pummel the Northeast!” causing everyone to cancel their hair appointments, not go to school, not workout, and pretty much hibernate in their homes and await the snowfall that often never comes!

Now let’s preface this by talking about how when there is talk of snowfall or a hug snowstorm everyone runs to Home Depot and buys every single shovel in stock along with ALL the melting salt in preparation for this natural disaster. I mean come on people dont you own a shovel or melting salt that stays in your garage all the time? WE LIVE IN NEW JERSEY! UPDATE: it snows in the winter! there is no need to panic and clean out the Home Depot and leave no supplies for the poor shlub who now has to dig up snow with his or her bare hands (well thats an exaggeration, but you get the point!) And let’s not even discuss the supermarket. Every loaf of bread, every gallon of milk, all the cheese and eggs are gone due to the panic stricken masses who are lead to believe that the town is going to be blanketed under a huge pile of snow. So my message to you is simply this: Panic creates more panic, be prepared for snow if you live in a place that gets cold in the winter. If we were living in Miami, this would not be an issue. Leave bread, shovels, and milk for the other folks!

The Indian government wisely pulled out of the United Nations global warming watchdog committee this past week and wisely declared it would establish it’s own oversight agency to deal with supposed global warming tends. This was partially in response to the salacious,fallacious,the “sky is falling” hysterical claim that the Himalayan glaciers would disappear within 30 years warning from the United Nations based entirely on the rantings of a student term paper  that had no basis on fact or reality other than hallucinations.

The one world advocates of the left see the global warning hoax as a means to galvanize and ensnarl the the world in a plan to deindustrialize and unelectrify the power houses of the world  and to prevent nations like India from achieving Super Power economic status. No matter that the world is actually cooling and their data has been shown to be based on false and misleading computer projections while contradictory facts are withheld from the public. The proponents of political correctness have accepted this theory as fact and lampoon those who dare to disagree.  Public schools teach this flawed doctrine as fact and governments vow to fight this phantom threat by burdening their citizens with astronomically expensive solar and wind and battery powered  energy sources that ignore their own weighty carbon foot prints.

While the Himalayan glaciers continue to stare down on and water the Ganges and the U.S. capital continues to be buried by blizzards of historical proportions the debate will rage on at the United Nations and in left wing one worlders imagination let us hope that wise governments like those in India will prevail.  Otherwise we will cripple our ability to produce the goods and foods mankind needs to survive in a cold world.

There is so much going on in the world of NYC/Northern NJ. Too much. Life is so fast paced and stressful. Its a rollercoaster that isn’t for everyone. People all over the world love to be part of this rollercoaster. Its the only place where you’ll see Tiger Woods secretly hooking up with other women than his wife, Mary Jane Watson leaving Spiderman to be a famous “actress” in a great big city and people from “other worlds.” This is where 9/11 happened and weakened the great city, only for it to bigger and better because this is the only place in North America that is in a class of its own. They’ll kill you with all kinds of taxes and bullshit here that you won’t here in too many other places. But the strong do survive here. People may want to branch off and go to areas like Long Island, South Jersey and Connecticut, but they really want to be here at the melting core. This is a place where you’ll see celebrities in shorts and sunglasses walking down Soho and radio talk shows and baseball players coming in from nice Northern Jersey wanting a taste of the big Apple. This one of the few places you’ll see Calvin Klein walking strolling around downtown occassionally, Giselle walking her dog in fat sunglasses and a pizza pie really costing $70 if you really want to treat yourself. This is the American dream. WORK HARD n BE A PART OF THE BIG APPLE

MTV’s Jersey Shore has become a cultural phenomenon.  The show has been parodied on SNL and it seems the cast members are making appearances anywhere and everywhere.  Snookie even made an appearance at the Grammys.  The cast is returning for a second season of the hit series for a whopping $10,000 per episode.  As ludicrous as that seems for the cast of a show that was deemed trashy and offensive, the show was a guilty pleasure for many of us.  However, there is one thing I didn’t understand about the show.  Usually on reality shows such as MTV’s Real World, when a cast member leaves the show, he or she is replaced with someone else.  Why did they not replace Angelina when she left the show?  I have my own theory about what happened.  I believe there was another cast member on the show that was kicked off or left.  The lost cast member was a Guindian (Indian Guido).

Imagine a Guindian with the blowout haircut, the chin strap beard, the fake blue contacts, and stud earrings living at the shore house with the rest of the cast.  MTV casted him to create an interesting dynamic with the rest of the cast, being that he was a poser.  The name of the Guindian is Sukhdeep Patel from Edison, NJ, but he goes by the nickname DJ Sunny P.  Sunny is a DJ at many Indian parties at the NJ/NJ area, and thinks that he is the shit.  So once Sunny arrives at the shore house, everyone tries to be nice and cordial, but they all know he is some cocky wannabe Guido.  Sunny didn’t really click with the guys.  He didn’t go tanning with them because obviously he is already brown.  He didn’t hit up the gym with them because he was a puny vegetarian that probably couldn’t even bench the 45 lb bar more than 3 times.  Sunny would claim that he didn’t need the gym to look good and get girls because of his smooth game.  One night, the whole group went to Karma night club and DJ Pauly D was spinning.  Pauly D was really working the crowd and girls were feeling him.  Sunny, who is also a DJ, was getting jealous because he is used to being the center of attention at the Indian parties that he spins at.  Once Pauly D took a break, Sunny took over the DJ booth.  He had his Ipod with him, so he started playing these Hindi song remixes.  Being that it was a non-Indian crowd, everyone started booing, but Sunny didn’t care.  He kept spinning and playing music.  Pauly D confronted him and told him to get out of the booth.  Sunny ignored him, so Ronnie and the Situation tried to drag him out of the booth.  Being the puny mofo that he is, they easily dragged him out and threw him to the ground.  In his fury, Sunny tried to charge them but the bouncer restrained him.  Thinking he is all tough and gangster, Sunny said “get off me; I’m gonna fuck these n&ggas up!”  Even though Guindians dress like a Guido, they talk black and say “n&gga” frequently.  The bouncer, who was black, couldn’t believe what he heard.  He said “mudda f#cka, you ain’t Italian or black, you just a puny ass bitch that is a disgrace to your people.”  The bouncer let go of Sunny and pushed him into Ronnie and the Situation who took him down to the ground again.  Jwoww and Snookie scratched him on the face with their fake nails and he started to bleed.  The bouncer kicked him out of the club.

Once Sunny was kicked out of Karma, he saw a cop on the boardwalk and told him what happened.  The cop said he couldn’t do anything since he didn’t witness it.  Sunny was furious and started cursing off the cop.  He said “f@ck yall white cops! Y’all don’t give a sh%t about me because I’m brown!”  He continued to be belligerent towards the cop, and finally he was arrested for disorderly conduct.  He called the shore house when he was in jail and apologized for his behavior, but no one wanted to pay for his bail.  He had no choice but to call his parents.  Once they bailed him out, Sunny’s mom slapped him in the face and starting cursing at him in Hindi.  Sunny knew he couldn’t he stay at the shore house, so he moved out.  While he was moving out his stuff, Pauly D saw his license out on his desk, and found out his real name.  He told the rest of the group and they all cracked up.  While Sunny was about to leave, they all went in the kitchen and started sucking on a pickle, just like how Snookie would eat it.  Sunny was visibly angry, but left quietly.

So why didn’t MTV show the footage?  Well Sukhdeep’s parents were so ashamed of their son; they cleared out their savings and borrowed money from their friends and relatives, and bribed MTV to not show the footage.  MTV agreed, and hence that is the lost episode of the Jersey Shore.

There’s something that runs deep in Desi blood. An urge to succeed that can’t be found in some other races. This is what makes me proud to be a Desi. There are some “outcasts” that bring it down. It’s just like anything else. Their breadcrumbs that never became a crust of the pizza….

They intentionally want to drive beat up cars and be satisfied with an arranged marriage. They live for nothing. They do nothing and become nothing.

Being Desi is about having the courage to do something. Its not about being comfortable. It was never comfortable when Mahatma fought the British or when the the local kid in Hartford, CT got called 711 from his boys at Grenwich.

There’s something beautiful about being Desi. It’s about being more. Learn from me Neil or otherwise you’ll be an outcast.

Best Regards,

The number one car company in the world could do no wrong in the consumers eyes. Toyotas rolled off  the assembly lines and out of the showrooms around the world by the millions.  Glistening show rooms purred with pride as General Motors and Chrysler filed for bankruptcy, closing plants and dealerships around the world. Hummer, Saab, Jaguar, Volvo and Opel hit the auction block in a fire sale of distress.

Yes, Toyota was poised to rule the highways of the world as had General Motors in it’s day.  But,something went wrong…very very wrong..It seems that Toyotas had developed a mind of their own just like Hal in the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey…Hal was the computer aboard a space ship who decided to take over the ship and kill it’s crew..  Toyotas  on board computer systems began to take over the control of the cars they guided and began killing their drivers and passengers..hurtling them at full throttle into on coming traffic,trees,buildings and over embankments..  Technology has challenged  and called into question who will dominate the world …man or machine..

So I am taking a class for school that deals with Ethics Issues in the field of Nursing. On a recent online discussion we were asked to write about ANY topic that we might find interesting in and well, write about it. I chose to write about how the field of nursing has changed over the years stemming back from Ancient Times where women were persecuted, oppressed and had this predominantly female profession taken away from by the brainwashing efforts of the Catholic Church and the male race. I continued to write that as years and eras passed, now, in Modern Times the smoke has started to settle, women in history such as Florence Nightingale began to speak up against women’s rights and their place in the nursing profession and have once again started to be recognized as people of value and now both men and women from all areas all religious backgrounds are embracing this field of healthcare (It’s not me its history people!).

Well much to my surprise I log on the next week and find that my comment has been completely taken out of context and I am being accused of being prejudice against gays, having a double standard somehow stating that gay people or men are not capable of being able to work in the field of nursing! Blah! Blah! Blah! WHAT IS UP WITH THAT! If its one thing that falls on the top of my pet peeve list is people that don’t read and understand what they are reading and then respond with some stupid response that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual content of what is there! Luckily in this case the discussion was in an online format, because I am positive that this level of stupidity would not have been spoken out loud and to my face if the class was live.

A list of instructions for anyone who is guilty of this or has dealt with this situation because it happens ALOT. 1.Read first 2.Understand 3. Take a deep breath 4. Use caution and finally 5. Respond Intelligently!, don’t just speak or write because you like to look at words on paper because, newsflash! people are reading this stuff! and no one likes to be labeled as something that they are not or have their words mixed around and used as some messed up version of the game operator! Believe me, I’m no expert on life but this is one of those things that I’m telling you will payoff in the future; paying attention to content is a very endearing quality and your response is even more important.

Did you ever call a  place of business and have the receptionist say “Hello, what do you want?” or  “Hello who is this?” You wouldn’t think too much of that business or the receptionist . How much of a tip do you leave for a rude waitress or waiter? How do you feel about the neighbor who never looks you in the eye and walks past you without saying hi? We naturally get negative vibes from these people and tend not to like them very much.

On the other hand we have the receptionist who is so sweet we want to send her a box of candy because she remembers our name and asks how we are in such a sincere way that we know she really cares. The waitress who makes us smile and tells us which special of the day is the best or the waiter who recommends the perfect wine always gets at least a twenty  percent tip. The  neighbor who always greets us with a friendly smile and a cheerful good morning is the one we would surely miss if or they moved.

What about us? Do we always answer the phone politely and make the caller glad they called?  Does the message on our voice mail get us more hang ups than messages?   Do we use the words, please, thank you, you’re welcome as often as we should?  Do we hold the door open for the person behind us especially if that person is older or a female?  If we show others that we have good manners  it will put us in a positive light that will also be a good reflection on our family and our upbringing and this really does matter.

There’s difficult people and there’s easy people.  There’s people that will never accept who you are for what you are and there are people that will accept you for who you are and then others who will accept you for who you are and will be less inclined to tell you everything because you may not be ready for it.  There are some things people do that make others feel they aren’t ready for them and things that show they are completely ready for the challenges. Life is Lifestyle. The more input, the more output. The best thing to do is progressively grow.
