I'm walking home from work through the city and a beggar asks me, "Excuse me, but do you have any spare change?" I looked at him and said "No, sorry."
Now normally i do give change to those who need it but this guy obviously didn't, i mean it wasnt so much the brand new pair of Nikes he had on (and i know these are only a couple of months old because i brought a pair for my nephews birthday) it wasnt the fact that he had an Ipod on or even the D&G glasses he had on, but it was the fact that he was sipping a Latte in a Starbucks cup that really threw me.
I cant even remember the last time i was able to afford a Starbucks coffee, so after a quick assessment of the situation i decided that i was in more need of my change than he was. I looked at what i was wearing and what he was wearing and in the latest fashion stakes he won and i was a ragged looking last place.
Not even my Mp3 player could put up a good fight with his Ipod and chose that very moment to go flat, i felt somewhat embarrassed that in my hand i had a McD's coffee i could just sense the milk going sour inside my cup as it sensed that Starbucks greatness was close by.
So, feeling poor and dejected i left this chap who seemed quite happy in his own world and went searching for a doorway to sit in and a bit of cardboard to write on..
Or you guys just foolin around again? Imma find out and when i do, i'll probably just shrug my shoulders like this guy ->
for me and im plum outta ideas for what to blog about, so, I'll just say i hope you all had a happy and safe festive season and wish you peace and prosperity for this year.
I know its a bit late but i worked through the festive season including Christmas day and New years so im slowly catching up on things.
Woke up this morning and thought to myself its time to spring clean this bomb site i live in (well its not that bad really).
But as per usual i'm gonna switch on some tunes and go for it, this means cleaning, vacuuming, polishing, getting under furniture, cleaning away cobwebs, getting into the corners of places, doing windows and banging out the laundry as well.
I guess it helps if you like doing housework which i do, i really enjoy it because as the musics going and as im going it gives me a lot of time to reflect on things, a spring cleaning of the mind if you will.
I have found that i have made some pretty good decisions and made some really good plans while i've been house cleaning or doing projects or things that i dont normally do everyday except for washing dishes, doing the dishes everyday gives me some daily mini reflection time and i enjoy it quite a lot.
It amazes me sometimes because i find myself so deep in thought that i click back to reality and find ive done everything and wondered to myself, does anyone else find themselves thinking about other stuff while they do housework?
Anyway, time to get going, have a great day or night depending on which side of the big ball you're on..
P.S. and before any of you ask -
NO, im not going to come to where ever you are and clean your house!
and..
NO, im not going to put on nothing but a little bitty apron to clean house and send you pictures!
Monday last week i asked about Christmas holidays and all i got back was "I'll let you know"
So i decided i would keep asking and every day i got the same answer "I'll let you know"
Yesterday the boss finally had enough, and let rip with "I TOLD YOU I'LL LET YOU KNOW!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??? IF I WANT YOU TO WORK THEN YOU WORK!!! WHERE I WANT AND WHEN I WANT! I DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR TIME OFF, OR STUPID HOLIDAYS OR EVEN THE WEEKENDS SO IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN YOU CAN LEAVE!!!"
I replied "but i cant leave.." and he said "I KNOW AND JUST YOU KEEP THAT IN MIND!!!!"
Boy, i tell ya, sometimes i really hate being self employed.....
Found this today while trawling through my music collection, its an old favourite and its nice to hear it again.. post some your forgotten favs if you like..
It was my first time ever
And I'll
Never forget
I'd do it
Again
Without a
Single regret.
The sky was
bright
The sun
Was high
We were all
Alone
Just she
And I.
Her hair
Was soft
Her eyes
Were blue
I knew just
What
She wanted
To do.
Her skin so
Soft
Her legs so
Fine
I ran my
Fingers
Down her
Spine.
I didn't
Know how
But I tried
My best
I started
By placing
My hands on
Her breast
I remember
My fear
My fast
Beating heart
But slowly
She spread
Her legs
Apart.
And when I
Did it
I felt no shame
All at
Once
The white
Stuff came.
At last
it's finished
It's all
Over now
My first
Time ever
At milking
A cow...
what were you thinking you perverts!!!!????
I was going through my music collection and found some gems from days gone by, so i put them on and oh boy.. did the memories come flooding back.. i smiled at some of them and i cringed at the not so good ones and laughed at the truly horrendous ones.
I enjoy the fact that you can put on some music and the memories are right there where you left them.
So Im going to post one of the songs that brought back memories for me and would encourage you to do the same.
I could see you standing out on the deck, watching the waves go by as our ship silently cut its way across the glassy sea.
The sun, surrendering its last of its golden rays to the blue of the oncoming night mingled together to create a deep crimson and purple hue that kissed the top of the ocean in the far off horizon where the two meet.
You gave a slight shiver and wrap your arms around yourself, I step out onto deck behind you and wrap my arms around you and pull you back into me.
You murmur a soft "Hi baby.." as i reach down and gently plant a kiss on the side of your neck, a slight gasp leaves your lips as you feel the contact, you lean your head back on my shoulder to allow me to continue, the kisses on your neck becoming more prolonged and insistent.
You turn to me and wrap your arms around my neck, looking deep into each others eyes we say nothing, together, we move toward each other... our lips full and moist, ready to receive the kiss that will bring us together as one.
Our lips meet, we both falter at the power of it, our arms intertwine, our thoughts and intentions become one, we break our kiss, we move back into our cabin to explore the very limits of our desires.
As we disappear from sight, night wraps her silken cloak around the ship as it silently cuts its way across the glassy sea.
I'm gonna show her!!!
I went into my room and packed only the important items and made sure i had enough money on me and off i went.
I got down to the gate, nobody cried out or tried to stop me, Ha! i was going to leave and no one would be the wiser, but i didnt bother me one bit, i was on my way and nothing was going to stop me.
She was going to miss me, i know she would, but i didnt care, i wasnt going to be told what i could and couldnt have, i was away and i didnt care.
This was going to be the beginning of a new life, one without all the drama i was leaving behind, yes i was on my way... nothing was going to stop me now... nothing!!!
I walked down to where my street met a main road, cars sped past, trucks rumbled and shook the ground i was standing on as they went by, screeching brakes and horns blaring, everything seemed so much bigger and louder.
I had never been out here like this before.. at least not on my own, despite myself, i found that i was missing her already, i wish she was here with me, she would make everything alright.. i wish... i wish... i wish i had packed some food.
I decided to go back... i was defeated, i knew it, i didnt have the heart for all of this.. i would go back and face the music...
She was sitting at the kitchen table when i walked in, she seemed a little stand offish.. "So where have you been?" she asked me "Nowhere" i replied, "Would you like a sandwich?" she queried "Yes please" i heard myself say.
She made the sandwich and sat next to me while i ate, i felt comfort in knowing she was near, she asked me "Were you running away?" Shamefacedly i replied "Uh huh.." she then turned her attention to my bag with all my worldly possessions in it and one by one pulled out the contents.
A comic book, my favourite action figure, a torch and a collection of rubber bands and some string, all the things a 5 year old would need out in the world.
At the bottom of the bag she found a small parcel wrapped up in a handkerchief, she carefully unwrapped it and uncovered a picture of her in a small frame, With a quivering voice she whispered "I love you son" and i replied "I love you too mum..." We exchanged the best hug ever and spent the rest of the day together.
Sitting... watching... waiting... listening..
Head still, the eyes cast across the tall grasses.
Sitting..watching...waiting... listening..
Ears scan the hillside for the the sound...
Sitting...watching..waiting.. listening..
Nose constantly samples for the familiar scent..
Moving... crouched ... silent... focused..
stretched out and flat, nearing the quarry...
Boom!!!! An explosion of golden hair and the high pitched squeals of laughter mix together with joyful barking as dog finds boy, they roll around with each other, its a happy reunion.... best friends forever.
