Chasing Cars...

2006-10-30T00:47:00.000-08:00

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

We might as well be strangers...

2006-10-30T00:35:00.000-08:00

I don't know your face no more
Or feel your touch that I adore
I don't know your face no more
It's just a place I'm looking for
We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a different world
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well

I don't know your thoughts these days
We're strangers in an empty space
I don't understand your heart
It's easier to be apart

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in a another time
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well be strangers
Be strangers

For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know of you now
For all I know

She has no time...

2006-10-30T00:20:00.000-08:00

You think your days are uneventful
And no one ever thinks about you
She goes her own way
She goes her own way

You say your days are ordinary
And no one ever thinks about you
But we're all the same
And she can hardly breathe without you

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Think about the lonely people
Then think about the day she found you
Or lie to yourself
And see it all dissolve around you

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Lonely people tumble downwards
My heart opens to you
When she says

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Walnut Tree

2006-10-10T23:36:00.000-07:00

Once there was a great storm,
Pushed my head beneath the waves,
I was gone.

Underneath the walnut tree,
Where you said you'd wait for me,
And I waited a long, long time

I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time.

Why, why do I come here?
Seeking out the memories I hold in,
'Cause you put your spell on me,
Made me live in memory,
And im frozen in just the wrong time.

I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time,
I waited a long, long time.

Venture capital - Bootstrapping

2006-03-08T21:53:00.000-08:00

Venture capital and start-up companies

As defined by Greg Gianforte, CEO, RightNow Technologies in an essay at, "bootstrapping" is the act of starting a business with little or no external funding. "Bootstrappers don’t write lengthy business plans, chase deep-pocketed investors, or indulge in overly academic market research exercises. Instead, they focus all of their considerable energy, brainpower, determination and skills on creating a business that can actually succeed in the real world."

Other books by entrepreneurs on Bootstrapping include: "Bootstrap" by Ken Hess. and "Go it Alone" by Bruce Judson . Bootstrapping is not well-studied or understood in Academia. Amar Bhide at Columbia and Darius Mahdjoubi are two academics who focus in this area. Examples of Bootstrap Entrepreneurs include Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Anita Roddick and Richard Branson and Michael Dell.

With the decline since 1999 of Venture Capital for early stage companies, bootstrapping is on the rise. It is supported by groups such as the Bootstrap Network which maintains a comprehensive resource guide on bootstrapping.

I discovered this amazing post-punk british band this last week - Arctic Monkeys. Very refreshing sound and lyrics. It looks like there a huge hit now back in the UK and are soon releasing their single here in the US. iTunes have their EP for download. Comes with three songs -
1. I bet you look good on the dance floor
2. Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
3. Chun Li's spinning bird kick

Also check out their "Five minutes with Arctic Monkeys" singles - I liked this one - "Fake tales from San Francisco". They are playing at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on the 13th of March.

Season 1, episode 1 (Pilot)
Broadcast date: July 5, 1989

JERRY: I swear, I have absolutely no idea what women are thinking. I don’t get it, okay? I, I, I admit, I, I’m not getting the signals. I am not getting it! Women, they’re so subtle, their little...everything they do is subtle. Men are not subtle, we are obvious. Women know what men want, men know what men want, what do we want? We want women, that’s it! It’s the only thing we know for sure, it really is. We want women. How do we get them? Oh, we don’t know ‘bout that, we don’t know. The next step after that we have no idea. This is why you see men honking car-horns, yelling from construction sites. These are the best ideas we’ve had so far. The car-horn honk, is that a beauty? Have you seen men doing this? What is this? The man is in the car, the woman walks by the front of the car, he honks. E-eeehh, eehhh, eehhh! This man is out of ideas. How does it...? E-e-e-eeeehhhh! “I don’t think she likes me.” The amazing thing is, that we still get women, don’t we? Men, I mean, men are with women. You see men with women. How are men getting women, many people wonder. Let me tell you a little bit about our organization. Wherever women are, we have a man working on the situation right now. Now, he may not be our best man, okay, we have a lot of areas to cover, but someone from our staff is on the scene. That’s why, I think, men get frustrated, when we see women reading articles, like: “Where to meet men?” We’re here, we are everywhere. We’re honking our horns to serve you better.

Poster in my attic!

Lately I have been cleaning up my stuff over the years and I came across this photograph of a poster I had in my dorm room. Came out pretty good on the scan...the spirits of rock.

Pink Floyd Chronolgy in Album Covers

2006-02-03T23:50:00.000-08:00

This is a pink floyd album cover art work I created sometime back. Recently I set it up as a wallpaper on my desktop and used the "tiled" option and the results were amazing...btw the album covers are stacked in a chronological order starting with the cult "umma gumma"
