   Raj's Blurbs
About me:
I haven't changed this section in... in years, but it's still pretty accurate.

I'm half Indian and half White.

I was almost born on an airplane when my Mom was flying back from studying Urdu in Pakistan.

People I've never met before are always telling me that I somehow look familiar to them. Either I'm behind on the pickup-lines elderly women like to use or I have the talent of being mistaken for celebrities.

I know a little something about everything, so you could categorize me as a dilettante, but for the next two years I'll be focusing on art, biology, and cycling. I'd like to go out and dance when I'm not doing those things (art, etc.) or sleeping. Until the opportunities to bust-out present themselves though, I'll have to make do with dancing around my apartment or spinning on my heels and doing a little jig whenever I exit my car and close its doors. If that makes me sound entertainingly hyperkinetic, don't let it set you up for disappointment -- you'll only witness such behavior once or twice, and only if I'm really comfortable around you.

While I like all the traveling I've done in straight lines on bikes, in pools, and on tracks, some lateral motion would be a welcome change for me, hence my preoccupation with dancing.
Who I'd like to meet:
Sincere brainiacs, entertaining idiots, people with something to say.

People who like to write.

Long lost friends, and friends of friends, and friends of friends of friends.

Cyclists and hikers for cycling and hiking.

Artists and scientists for talking about ideas.

People who'd be interested in checking out various music and dance venues.

Women who are kind, intense, verbal, creative, physically active, and warm, or those who possess some combination of at least a few of these traits.

The Secretary of State's office isn't giving up the results of the district races, only the statewide ballot measures. What's going on?! I keep refreshing my browser like a psycho stalking an ex but nothing happens. argh. November's gonna be tough...

Sweet! I'm so glad to see that you've got my back, Raj! Although, really, I'm sure I could be a bit more expansive if need be! Wait...that didn't sound right! You know what I mean! :)

The bathroom picts are true classics Raj, but I think for the sake of diversification you should incorporate some of the brown pseudo shag carpeting into your home photos.

Hey, Raj! Thanks for the State Parks info! I'm thinking about Devil's Gulch in Samuel Taylor park in Marin. They have a somewhat secluded group camp sopt along a beautiful trail with creeks. They're all booked through until Sept. 19. I put the nights of Sept. 19, 20, 21 (leaving on Monday - 9/22) on hold. I know it's late in the season, but it's usually warm that time of year. Also, it will be the Autumnal Equinox on the 22nd! I'll keep you posted! Here's a link with a panorama of the park: http://www. virtualparks. org/scenes/ZyIgLCeawEQh8re09RCwFgw. html
Now on 2 wheels!

odd? I pissed in an airplane when In was coming to the states. I break out in song when I exit my car. I drink wine and pay later, I pay now an drink wine later.

I was in Florida for Halloween, and I have not asked my cat-sitter if she did as I instructed: dress him up, give him a 30-gallon trash bag, push him out the front door to Oak Street and tell him not to come home until the bag is full of candy. I don't see any candy, but he's fat, you know.
