Alok Gandhi
24/07/06
This is the last picture ever taken of Alok Gandhi. He and Hannah Block came up Thursday night to visit me in San Francisco. Basically put, it was one of the best weekends three friends could ever have. Then on Sunday, July 23rd, 2006 at around 1:30PM both him and Hannah left to go home. Alok dropped Hannah off at her house at around 11PM or Midnight. He then proceeded to go home. Then, as best all of us can tell, he wrote a two page suicide note and emailed it to one of his friends. In it he detailed some arguments about suicide in general. He stated multiple times that he was happy and such and that it was no one's fault. He then took his brothers Red Camry Solara Convertible and drove off of Ortega Highway.
I just have to say that Alok will be sorely missed and that the world is a worse place to live without him.

New York City

Long time no post. I'm sorry about that. I have just been busy. But I am back and all is well. So here is the best picture I could find of New York. I, in a moment of pure genius, left my Digital Camera at our place so I had to get a disposable camera and boy do those things take bad pictures. I touched this one up as best I could with iPhoto. I know your all screaming PHOTOSHOP. But the tools to fix this photo are no different in Photoshop than they are in iPhoto and iPhoto is easier and all the controls are all in one place. So here it is. This is some building in New York. First impressions of New York. Fewer Homless people in plain view in the nice areas that we were in. This is compared to San Francisco where Market Street is covered with homeless people. Also, I came to San Francisco thinking, "man, these buildings are tall." But, as I found out, the buildings in San Francisco are puny compared to the buildings in New York City. I think a good way to put it is that the tallest buildings in San Francisco are as tall as the shortest buildings in New York. Basically, New York is open later, has less annoying homeless people, is quite a bit more crowded, and not as "hippiesh" as San Francisco. So while I definitely would not want to live there. I think I will visit again some time soon when I have more time in New York City.
