(S)miles to go...

Face is the index of mind. A smile can make worries go away :) The nose, hands, fingers, eyes are the most important parts when you draw a character. It doesn't come quite easily to me generally, but this time it doesn't look so bad as I thought it would be. Cherish this smiley...

The 'fight' club

I got this as a forward and I liked it...After the 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' season, this is one that I had a good laugh. 'Laugh' through it now...

1. My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, 'What's on TV?'
I said, 'Dust.'
And then the fight started...

2. My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 100 in about 3 seconds.'
I bought her a weighing scale.
And then the fight started...

3. When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive...
So, I took her to a gas station..
And then the fight started...

4. My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and my wife kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.
I asked my wife, 'Do you know him?'
'Yes,' She sighed, 'He's my old boyfriend.
I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since.'
'My God!' I said to my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'
And then the fight started...

5. I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.
"I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"
"Naaah, she can order for herself."
And then the fight started...

6. A woman is standing & looking in the bedroom mirror.
She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband,
'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'
And then the fight started...

7. I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Kingfisher for $14.95.
Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95.
I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream.
And then the fight started....

8. I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?”
It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation.
"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.
So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?"
And then the fight started....

Pursuit of Happyness!

When you get something big that you had been aiming for few years and know the intense of happiness you get when you achieve it, it's truly a bliss! :) Hee..hee...got my new TV - Sony Bravia 32" HDTV. And I am having a wide smile on my face for days :))

He...

I walked away from my apartment towards the entrance and there comes 'he'. I blink at times when I see him and he looks at me without showing any feeling. I am confused on what he is thinking. I feel shy at times for doing this but since I want to avoid seeing him, I started taking a new route. The new route gave me a satisfactory feeling that he did not cross me. But the satisfaction remained only for few days. One fine evening after taking the mails and happily watching the kids playing at the swimming pool, I was shocked to see him in my new route. I stood for a second without knowing what to do. There comes a voice: 'Honey! Don't go away...He likes you...'. I smiled. I did not want to offend the voice but at the same time, I did not want to give hopes to him that I am reciprocating the love. I would never do that for anyone of 'his' type. To avoid complications, I just went near him with my heart beats sounding at a high rate. He just stared at me as he always did. I waved bye with a cute smile and came back home. After coming home, I was seriously thinking on how he found my new route. There are only two routes I could take and now that he knows those two routes, I don't know how I could avoid him staring at me. With all my guts, planned to do this thing the next day and I did it, as planned. As usual, he came and stared at me and I walked towards him and asked the lady who comes along with him - What's his name and the answer was Jimmy. He is indeed a cute black dog. As I approached him closely, he did not do anything other than staring at me. And the lady goes, 'My cute Jimmy likes you!'. I smiled back and came home with a sense of relief that Jimmy will not punce on me and I can follow any route that I used to go :):)
