Its hard out here for a pimp!!
Saw the movie "Hustle and Flow", and the tittle track has become my new theme song - On the face of it, it doesn't seem like this would have much relevance to my life, or my goals for the year - but the lyrics are very profound (to maintain the PG rating of this blog, am not going to reproduce them here), and convey a message of rising above all odds and achieving your dreams - in fact the very last line of the movie is "Everyones' gotta have a dream"
This weekend saw a lot of activity in terms of the wedding planning - locked down a decorator and a DJ. We went to meet the decorator at her home and were asked questions like "what is the theme for your wedding" and "what color napkins do you plan to have". I was at least all at sea, and got increasingly tense that we had not been doing our homework - but as Keya pointed out to me later, we've got all the big stuff done, and we have enough time for all these little things to fall in place.
The other eye opening experience for me this weekend was going to see an actual wedding reception as guests of one of the DJ's who we had shortlisted to perform at our wedding - he had called us over to an event that he was doing. I have never been to an indian wedding reception in the US before, so had no idea of what to expect - I was really impressed with the decor and arrangements that had been made, which did nothing to alleviate my already heightened stress levels from the meeting earlier in the day. Anyways, the DJ was good, and we have decided to retain him for our event even though he is more expensive than some of the other options we had shortlisted.
Not much to report in terms of the other goals - did a lot of shopping for running gear - running shorts (why are they so short??), IPOD case, sport earphones - now if only I can run more regularly!
