An obscene waste.

Honorable Mention.

I am the clown.
Because you asked me to
and I am colorful enough, so
I quickly make the change.
It’s an easy switch in contrast.
Then, you are off and running.
Up and down the row
I am chasing you and I am out of breath.
You are elusive, but you see
I am the clown.
And I will use a trick to catch you.
I must catch you, because I have to tell you
I am not a fool. But, I have failed.

The pulsing lights drawing on
Death and destruction flash above
And beyond you. The images are mostly grave
Punched in and out in perfect time.
They were too many and too long, but
I had to remain until the end.
I knew they would tell the story.
Then, the images stop.
I achieve execution in a flash of bright white
Then perception returns to me, the clown,
Looking at you down the row.
I can’t move but to say the end.
But, I forgot the most important part.

Then, you are gone.
For a moment, I am frantic to find you.
But, I also don’t want to lose my character.
It is of every color and
Can give me up a reckless fool.
While I pretend to know the rest,
I search for my friend.
His name is random, and
He was sitting next to me.
Before you came along…
And as I am just about to take my leave
You appear again, but now
You are the clown.

And you want to tell me that
I am just a fool.



p.s. strung out on pointless prevarication and cardboard collusion.



(...fucking nightmare)

Hopeful wish, Anon. Good answers from all.

Could we also wish for peace? Not just here, but everywhere.

unity, huh?

that has a lot of meanings in it, none particularly appealing actually.

co-operation is better i think. and co-existence.

unity turns into tyranny so easily.

"Peace, Love, and Understanding"
Elvis Costello

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

unlikely, if the motivation is through love

love never seeks to dominate

Original Punk J said...

That song is almost 30 years old, but it's timeless in the message.

J

ergoproxy said...

I'm back from the bus

anon I would never want to give up on fulfillment

toujours said...

but love can easily start making it's own definitions and it's own reasons...

i like diversity better, i like variety, and matching chords rather than one choir singing the same note.

i like a partnership rather than a soulful union.

i want to dance with someone who loves me for everything that makes me myself, rather than be with someone who wants us to be a matched set, marching together in harness.

a wild garden rather than a sterile lawn.




um.

getting carried away, sorry about that.

*gingerly steps off soapbox*

ergoproxy said...

yes anon true unity through would be a lessening of self for the benefit of the relationship, but not a loss because in unity you'd find self too


oh how philosophical I can be, if that makes sense

elena said...

love never seeks to dominate


Pure love perhaps

Original Punk J said...

Trust.
Honesty.
Fulfillment.
Happiness.
Peace.
Understanding.
Forgiveness.
Unity.
Love.
Compromise.
Tolerance.
Gentleness.
Acceptance.

This is just the beginning of what it will take to right the wrongs of the world.

J

resurrected wreck said...

I was under the impression that anon's question was personal rather than all-encompassing, at least that's the way I answered it.

ergoproxy said...

true unity through love I mean


but it is very easy for one side to overpower the other.

I'd never want to feel like I lost myself in a relationship, a companion who desires the best for you and you the best for them. And who appreciates you , not wants to change you

Anonymous said...

sets can also be diametric opposites that bring strengths to each other

It's a myth they are identical in nature

Original Punk J said...

RW, I did too. And that list of words I made can apply to personal relationships as well.

Unity in a relationship can also mean thinking along the same lines, having the same opinions, sharing an inner "oneness", if you will.

Didn't Redrum pull up The Law of Attraction last night? "Like attracts like."

J

ergoproxy said...

RW I felt it was more personal too

plus I'd never want to give up on happiness, learning, wonder, enjoyment

I wouldn't want to sit back on my death bed and think gee I wish I'd done more things just because I enjoyed them, not because I had to, or people expected me to

toujours said...

i can agree with that, anon. that's what i meant by what i prefer, by partnership...

if that's what you meant by unity, then perhaps it's just a difference of definition.

unity always sounds a bit 1984 to me. gets a kneejerk reaction.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

I dis agree TjI can see coexistence going wrong before unity. Unity is more of people feeling the same. While co-existence is more of just putting up with someone. You don't like them you just put up with them.

resurrected wreck said...

The "like attracts like" of the Law of Attraction is "you get what you think about; your thoughts determine your experience".

ergoproxy said...

opposites can't be too opposite though, no commonality is difficult to overcome, but complimentary is better, differences that compliment the other. But enough common ground to understand and appreciate each other.
Identical matches mean identical hang ups and identical problems, and boredom.

resurrected wreck said...

I don't think the Law of Attraction is necessarily about relationships.

toujours said...

martha, i suppose the word "co-existence" needs clarification then. i meant it as co-existing in a harmonious way.

elena said...

Identical matches mean identical hang ups and identical problems, and boredom.

No one wants to live with their mirror image. It's makes your own flaws so much more noticeable.

Original Punk J said...

Well, you know, RW, it could be. Depends on how you look at it. I don't mean "attraction" like, Hey baby, you look good to me. I mean it more like, We share this type of thinking, we have the same ideas. Does that make sense?

Of course, it IS late, and I may be completely full of crap!

J

ergoproxy said...

I think you do attract what you think about, which is why being secure in yourself is so vitally important to a relationship, if you don't love yourself at least to a point (noone is perfect) you cannot love another, you look for a fix, or in worst cases and even more destructive match

Anonymous said...

what about being very different temperamentally, but having the same visions, aspirations and goals?

resurrected wreck said...

I'll sit this conversation out, I think. It's giving me a headache.

Like usually does attract Like, but finds it drives Like nuts.

ergoproxy said...

J it's often the little things too, people can exist happily with differing political views and things, (again to a point) but ideals about money, the household, child rearing, problem solving, knowing a person well is really more important than a lot of people think

Amyranth said...

what about being very different temperamentally, but having the same visions, aspirations and goals?

Can you achieve those visions, aspirations and goals on a level that's acceptable to both of you?

What if one is patient, and one is bull-headed?

May 19, 2008 2:12 AM

If people are willing to work to make a relationship work than almost any kind of relationship can work.

But with out want the relationship to work I would say no.

Original Punk J said...

Anon, I think people with differing temperaments SHOULD be together. Imagine having two people who erupt at the drop of a hat: complete destruction every time they disagree.

But, if one person is calmer, and the other a little more reactive, they can complement each other. It's good to have varying levels of emotion about "hinky" topics. It gives a balance to the relationship.

J

toujours said...

then the goals are the music the two dance to, what brings them together and hopefully helps them work through the differences in temperment.

no relationship is ever going to achieve a "perfect unity", and expecting that puts a strain on the relationship from the beginning.

it's our imperfections that make us beautiful to each other, after all. you don't love someone for the way they resemble someone else, but for those little things that are unique to them alone.

Anonymous said...

the bull-headed one learns more patience, and the patient one learns to be a bit more assertive.

resurrected wreck said...

Law of Attraction:

'Life is supposed to be fun. You said, "I'll go forth and choose. I'll look at the data, and I'll say, yes to this, and yes to this, and yes to this, and I'll paint a picture of the things that I want, and I'll vibrate about them, because that's what I'm giving my attention to. And the Universe will respond to my vibration. And then I'll stand in a new place where a whole new batch of yeses are available, and I'll say yes to this, and yes to this, and yes to this." You did not say, "I'll go forth and struggle into joy", because from your Nonphysical Perspective you know it is vibrationally not possible. You cannot struggle to joy. Struggle and joy are not on the same channel. You joy your way to joy. You laugh your way to success. It is through your joy that good things come.'

ergoproxy said...

anon it would be very difficult, like I just said big things goals, aspirations are less of an issue than the small if the temperaments were too different the relationship could be very volatile, some people enjoy that, but I personally prefer someone who is at least similar. Otherwise you may have the same goals but will constantly disagree about how you should be trying to reach them

Amyranth said...

the bull-headed one learns more patience, and the patient one learns to be a bit more assertive.

Or, the flip side.

The patient one constantly feels put on, and the bull headed one feels weighed down, or dragged on.

Unfortunately, there's two sides to every coin.

EXACTLY. Perfect, Anon, that's the very thing I was trying to say. This way, the two can grow as not only a couple, but as individuals. It aids in the integration process, if you ask me.

Ergo, I agree with you totally.

J

ergoproxy said...

assuming anon that they are both willing to learn , in which case their temperaments are more alike than they thought

ergoproxy said...

though I have seen the bull headed one get very annoyed when the other tries to be more assertive as they resent no longer being in control.
OR
the less assertive one become upset when the bull headed expects to not have to make all the decisions


it's a very fine line, the more polar the attitudes to begin with, the less likely they can accept the change in the other

Amyranth said...

I think that the other thing to keep in mind is Teenage Love versus Adult Love.

Not all relationships are going to start, or end the same way. Relationships in high school, and relationships in your adult life are completely different things. We relax a lot more as adults than we do as kids, we're not as likely to force someone towards our way of thinking, and we're more open-minded for the most part.

Teenagers have nothing more than Puppy Love. Cute, and sometimes romantic, but nothing close to what you'll really experience when you know yourself better.

-A

Original Punk J said...

BTW, Ergo, I meant your 2.15 comment. Sorry!

L and I are a good example of bull-headed and patient. (Guess which one of us is which?) Over the past 20 years, we've adapted some of each other's traits. I'm now more accepting, patient, and calm. L is more assertive, willing to "make waves" when necessary, and braver.

It DOES work.

I think that two people who are basically alike but with clarifying differences are about as good a couple as you can get. No huge gaps in personality or beliefs, but enough different to balance each other.

J

well, this has been an interesting conversation, truly, and i thank you anon for bringing up the topic.

but i've pretty much run out of steam for the night.

(i shouldn't be up this late anyway, what with this sore throat that won't go away.)

so good night all, sweet dreams and sweet conversations. :)

Amyranth said...

J,

you and L are like puzzle pieces.

Smaller parts of a bigger picture, but you fit together, even when you don't seem like it.

And it works.

Original Punk J said...

Thank you, Amy. :)

L and I have said for years that, as best friends, we should marry another set of best friends, because that'll be the only people who will understand our relationship! We ARE like a puzzle. And hopefully whoever gets stuck with us will make a puzzle, too. Then we'll all make another puzzle together.

J I think it is as you said, there needs to be that underlying companionship and the desire to help the other grow and change, not to try and force.
Noone is a carbon copy in temperament, but it's learning accepting, adjusting etc. if the willingness isn't there it wont work

elena said...

Goodnight Amy, yes, I'm so jealous of your getting up at 4am to manhandle critters...I only wish I could take your place.

*coughsarcasmcough*

See you later!

Ergo, it's so important to realize that when you go into a relationship, you should accept the other person for who they are, and not try to change them to fit your mold. The two of you have to strike a compromise, and work around any glitches that pop up. It's not fair to get together with someone and then say, "I don't like you the way you are, be like this." You wouldn't like someone doing that to you, would you? (Not "you" Ergo, but "you" the other half.)

mayo,

sometimes, i just get so worn down. i have my trust that things will work out, and it's a trust that springs from experience, but getting there is exhausting sometimes.

not complaining. just trying to say that sometimes, like tonight, my heart's hopes seem so incredibly out-of-reach. it seems like it would be better and easier to just set them down alongside the road, except that i can't figure out where they start and end. hopes get so tangled up within.




and i'm tired, and i'm sick, and i should just go to bed, instead of writing a morose comment to you.

not a very nice good night to you tonight, i'm afraid.

don't take it personally. doubts are crowding in. maybe tomorrow's moon will light my way again.

good night, mayo-sama, and sweet dreams.

Mayo

Oh I just wrote you name and did a very heavy sigh. That didn’t sound good. I didn’t mean to say that writing you name made me sigh (a very weary sigh by the way) but it just happened. I’m tired, physically and mentally. Crap I just sighed again.

I’m sitting here and wondering what to write. Truly that doesn’t happen often. Usually I just start blabbing away about whatever is on my mind. Problem is tonight there is so much shit on my mind that I couldn’t pick a topic. Okay maybe I’ll just tell you what I did today. It’s sorta boring. I worked in the yard finishing up my water garden I started on yesterday. It’s a peaceful place to sit and do nothing. I don’t go there often. I should. I should just sit and try to clear my mind but I can’t. I try, really I do. It starts out good but soon I’m thinking of all the things I should do. Then I start making the lists in my head. Then I put the items on the list in order of importance. Then I get up and start doing them. Perhaps I need to learn a relaxation technique? Slow down, enjoy life, I say to myself. I don’t listen. I just keep moving, Okay, I’m running. I know it. The lists I make keep me from dealing with the things I don’t want to face. Those things never make the list. Why the hell am I always admitting this crap to you? Oh, wait, I got this one. Cause when I tell you; I’m really telling me. Well since I don’t listen to myself that seems sorta pointless doesn’t it? Okay I don’t like the path this whole goodnight is going down. Been down this one way too many times and I know it by heart. So why don't we just start down another?

Another heavy sigh. Okay I’m totally annoying myself now. I’m tired. Oh crap now I have the Madeline Kahn song “I’m Tried” from Blazing Saddles stuck in my head. Random much? Okay that’s it. I so obviously have nothing to say to you tonight, Mayo. No words of wisdom (like I’d ever have those), no amusing stories, no, I got nothing but heavy sighs. Oh and a very strong desire to run away and join the circus. If that ain’t telling me something I’m really not listening.

Night Mayo

Elena (think, listen, think, hear then ignore)

Mayo,

Despite the fact that I spelled your name wrong (Maup) and that I can't see very well out of my right eye (cataract acting up again), I'm saying goodnight anyway.

What a ragtag, misfit bunch of women live in your Castle. Can we get group rates on insurance?

Hope you're moving past this angry place you're in right now. Clowns aren't the most popular entertainment source around, as well you know. But maybe all will work out for the best, soon.

I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the opera that features the Harlequin as the main character. Starts with a P, right? I've been thinking about that today in relation to your post. No, I'm not going to explain it, I just wanted to mention it. No offense intended, I just don't want to. ;D

Stay safe, Mayo, and have a thrilling Monday if at all possible. "Good" thrilling, not "bad". You know what I mean.

Love and peace and hope

It's below the ankle bone on the outside of my right foot, When I was 30 I got a butterfly side on flying with blue pink and yellow wings, ad lasy year I added a pink flower which sits about level with the bone and the leaf/vine curls past the butterfly and my daughters name in front of the butterfly, so it's like an L shape

ergoproxy said...

oh sorry RW about an hour for each, they aren't huge. It does hurt but it's hard to describe, to me it is like a fine hot knife. First touch is a shock. But it has this strange sort of hypnotic effect, you go into like a zone it's wierd, and after it's done I always want to do it again.
Black outline hurts most, colouring is almost pleasant sort of more scratchy.
As long as the artist is good they'll get rhythm. It hurts then for a few hours sort of dull achey not bad at all.
Then you wait a week or 2 for it to scab and peel (the colour stays but it goes dull as it scabs)

Original Punk J said...

SS precious,

I had this huge, long, wordy piece written about our discussion here tonight, and then I thought, why? He'll have read it by the time he gets here...

So I deleted it all and started over.

I took the popsicle test today and found out: Blimey I'm Limey! Should've figured I'd be something like that, hunh? ;) And when I took the other test, the OkCupid thing, it said I was a Wild Rose. Boy oh boy, I never figured on THAT one. Whatever. :D

Well, tomorrow is another day, and I have to pay bills and clean the catbox. :P Real life calls, y'know? Yeah, I know you do.

So I bid you a fond goodnight, and sweet dreams and all that other stuff. Keep looking up--I love you, baby.

so we had to catch the bus to school today! we live a little way out and there is only one bus in that direction per hour!! i kid you not! and it's meant to come at 8.22am!! ok so i'm doing my usual witch screaming routine to my girls!! and we are out of the door and walking to the bus stop. we see the bus go past and it has to go round the estate and then it rejoins the main road and then passes our bus stop. so i'm saying to the 5 yr old "run on and wave it down!!" the 8 yr old trainers (sneakers) are undone (its healthy schools sports week for her so she is in sports wear this week) so she stops to tie them up!! i have the 3 yr old in a buggy cos he walks so slow and i can't carry him he weighs a tonne! so anyway i think we should make it, it's only 8.18am!! so 5 yr old is off in front, 8yr old overtakes me! then we look to the main road, 5 yr old is nearly there!! and the bus whizzes on past!! we all catch up and we are like "it didn't stop!!!!!!" 5 yr old promptly breaks down in tears!! i know life can be so disappointing!! i felt like saying "this is life my love! this is an example of life! this kinda shit will happen to you in various forms for the entirity of your existence!!" so then i'm cuddling her, the 3 yr old is holding a balloon left over from his party, no string on it, just a balloon (bad idea i know but i didn't have time to argue with him and replace said balloon with something more practical!!) anyway it pops!! (course it fucking does! it was always going to pop or blow away!! i knew that, you knew that, mayo and SS knew that!! even the meffing bus driver knew that!) so now he is crying!! so i'm comforting 2 kids, we've missed the bus, and we are going to be late! i looked at the 8 yr old and she was just giggling!! at which point i started giggling and then we made the decision to walk!!

it was fun and thank god it wasn't raining! so we arrived late but fully awake!!

so there you go blogbelieve how fucking exciting is my life??!!
not very, but i don't really care!!

Split Enz - Dirty Creature
(T Finn, N Griggs & N Finn)

Dirty Creature come my way
from the bottom of a big black lake
Shuffles up to my window
making sure I'm awake
S'probably gonna pick my brain
Got me in a vice-like grip
He said one slip, your dead. Ha.

Dirty Creature of habit
Little horror here to stay
Anyone in his right mind
would tell it to go away
but the river of dread runs deep
full of unspeakable things
The creature don't mess around
I don't wanna mess with him

I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail
I don't wanna, I don't wanna sail tonight
Dirty Creature's got me at a disadvantage from the inside.

Tentacles on the brain keep me from falling asleep
I'm rooted to the spot
The beast don't know when to stop
Sneaking up from behind
Binds and gags my wits
Dirty Creature got my head exactly where he wants it

I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail,
I don't wanna, I don't wanna sail tonight,
Taniwha is waiting for me just below the surface so bright (Yeah)
Even as we speak the Dirty Creature springs a nasty surprise.

Dirty Creature knows my type
Found it in a magazine
He's seen the look of fear before
splattered all over the screen
The animal magnet thug
draws me out of myself
I need a dragon-slayer
who can save me from myself

I don't wanna sail, I don't wanna sail,
I don't wanna set sail for the middle of nowhere tonight
Dirty Creature's got me at a disadvantage from the inside (Yeah)
I don't wanna sail upon the waters of invention tonight

[a Taniwha is a New Zealand dragon/sea monster type "dirty creature"]


just wanted to post these lyrics, I've been watching Split Enz clips on TV

enjoy!

*charges in confidently and toothache pain free (finally)*
^wink and nod to Ergo^

Good *insert time of day here* Mayo, SS, Ergo, Kass, FASC, Possum, RW, Amy, J, everyone I missed last night, anons, lurkers, watchers, dirty creatures of blogbelieve!

How are you all? I hope you all had a much better Sunday than I did! Yes, I was in serious pain yesterday. Thankfully, that old country doctor neighbor of mine is very wise. He told me to swish with Brandy every thirty minutes. Who knew Brandy was the miracle cure for a toothache! Well, the vicodin also helped ;p

Have I ever mentioned how much I love my neighbors? I do! They're such wonderful, helpful people. Well, there is that ONE; but, there's always ONE, right? We won't talk about him. ;)

Kass: A good thing I am now toothache free. All the laughing you made me do this morning would have really HURT if I were not!

Miranth: I have a 'sixth sense'. Much like the critters I love so much. Just ask Amy about the Jagermeister thing! ;)
BTW, Did you save some of that pasta for me? I can chew now!

Amy: HELLO!!!! Congratulations on the new addition to your family! Please give Smyth an extra fish pellet for me :)

FASC: I'm glad to hear your son had such a nice birthday. WOW, It sounds as though he has quite a set of choppers, lol!! Hopefully, he will never decide to use them on you or his siblings!

MissT: GREAT to see you back! HOORAY for you regarding the new male in your life. Take your time and don't do anything you're not comfortable doing. IF you are comfortable, remember these 2 things:
1. It's like riding a bike (Hi Bikey - not implying anything *wink*), you never really forget how!

2. Always wear the proper protective gear! Safety first! ;)

There is alot I did not properly catch up on. Sorry if I missed anything requiring my personal attention ;p

To ponder today:
(I know I've posted this one before; but, I like it!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

Kalidasa

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hoping you all have a wonderful, pain free Monday!

Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~
6/Wendy

PS: Are there only 2 flavors on that popsicle test? Yes, I too am "Free and wild, cherry flavored"!

There must be some grape, orange, stawberry and watermelon flavored folks!

Whoever came up with that test obviously never purchased a proper box of popsicles! ;)

sdock10 said...

Mayo,

Morning, how are you? I hope you are doing exceptionally well for a Monday. Me? Well, I did not want to get out of my nice warm bed. I was snuggled deep under the covers surrounded by pillows sleeping so good and then beep, beep, beep. To which I replied, bleepity bleep, bleep, bleep. I hit the snooze and rolled back over for another 9 minutes. I eventually rolled out of bed, drug myself into the bathroom and cursed Monday some more. Grr....no hairbrush slinging going on today. I must refrain. Can't afford to break the only one I have.

Mayo, I'm wishing you a most awesome Monday! May it be filled with all things jaw dropping and beautiful.

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. Mind blowing.

sdock10 said...

SS,

How's Monday working out for you today? Do you ever have Mondays that make you go "Grrrrrr!"? What's your trick for making it through?

I would love to know the Sssecret.


Wishing you a most marvelous magnificent Monday, my friend!

Always,
S

Oh it's Monday again. Why does it always seem that this day arrives so much quicker than any other? LOL

Hope we all have a good day. Fingers crossed and all that.

Hi Elena.

Kassiopeia said...

Bye KD!

Hi E!

Safe,
I had a great weekend - one fun but sober hen night (so I clearly remember all the things others would wish to forget!), one successful shopping trip for wedding attire that doesn't make me look like a drag queen and 2 pain-free gym sessions squashed into the two days. Plus I'm only 3lb off my target weight for peak Summer-skinnyness-without-looking-like-Gollum. Damn, I'm so vain!

Kass xx

Good morning BlogBelieve!

FASC,

Your story about catching the bus made me laugh so hard this morning. I can totally relate that’s for sure!

Oh and I loved “proncess”. :)

Mayo,

What’s up? Anything? Nothing at all? Still on the right side of oblivion? Sure you are, dude. O_O

SS!!!!

So you are cherry, eh? I don’t know what I am actually. Hmmmm, I must find the popsicle quiz later. Sorry I missed you this weekend but I can’t say I’m sorry that I missed some of the shit that got slung everywhere. Bleh. Just makes me ill. Maybe I’ll catch you around this week? Possibly? Yeah? Okie-dokie then.

Can you tell I missed you guys? I’M BEGGING FOR ATTENTION! ^_^

Alright, got a long day ahead of me. Ewwwww.

Have a good one errbody!

So pleased that your chompy bits are better!

Thanks for the Dating Personna test, Kapunua =)

MissT,
Woohoo! Have fun, be careful =)

Ergo@6:41am,
Taniwha,pronounced tah-nee-fah, are real!
Modifications to our main State Highway were delayed for six months because of a Taniwha(a supposedly mythological water creature)living at a bend on the Waikato River. Construction was halted until winter so the floods would shift it to its other home.
Absolutely True!
Yes, we are totally cracked O_o


*places flowers on FASC's sh*t car*
Sorry to hear it finally kicked it's tyres, Far.
Good luck walking the little tired ones home this afternoon!

Mayo,
Plunging only counts if it is in blue, by the way =)

SS,
It's the simple things that amuse sometimes, isn't it? But cola popsicles would have made it better =)
Goodness, how far back did you go to find Kapunua's mono no aware poem? All that rereading is going to keep you out of trouble for a few hours ^_~

whispering in your ear
writing on your heart

holding you in my arms
wrapping my body around yours

I love you.

Surrender

Won't you please surrender to me
Your lips, your arms, your heart, dear
Be mine forever
Be mine tonight

my love

i surrendered to you
a lifetime ago
all that i am
is yours

my heart is on fire
every moment I think of you
of us
of our love

the stars already tell our story
it is glorious and magical
and as infinite as the universe
our story is love

Always


"Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me

Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words - I love you"

Be well

I hate to cry, in public or privately, so I don't do it very often. But, I do smile alone when something strikes me. I've even laughed out loud alone, but then people think you're nuts, so I try to muffle the laughter.
