The secret to winning in life has been staring me in the face all along. And it is discipline.
If only they'd said so straight out in school, instead of making it seem like discipline was some rubbish rule that convent school nuns wanted to instill in you because it would make God love you more or some nonsense.
Anyway, I have decided, I will be the most disciplined.

As I write this, I look out a window, onto some other apartments, but the sunshine that falls on my table is pure california.
San Francisco is unlike any city I've been to. Its squat. And there isn't atleast on the 18 streets I've been on so far, any visible manic energy. This Friday I am going to seek it out - try and find the Soho of SF, as it were.
I live close to a very popular gay bar called the Stud, and I want to explore it.
I want to buy a book at City Lights bookstore.
And I want to eat an ice-cream as I walk down the pier.
I want to scrunch a penny in the machine for Kabir. And I want him to know when Amma went to raise a ton of money - this is where she made a wish for good fortune and tossed a dollar into the sea.
