Serentiy (oh and Lau Lau)

To be a child again...

Some images of life and times so far in the UK - will keep them coming

"In nature one can escape the world and truly be alone. Nothing is more beautiful than this."

Went to Old Trafford this weekend (aka the Theatre of Dreams). Nothing short of awesome. Ended up missing the last train to London by 36 seconds so myself and trusty South African wingman Greg Wiles did what we know best...partied in Manchester until the next train was rolling out (12 hours later). All in all will definitely be popping into Manchester again. Welcoming city, cheapish drinks and pretty women - need I say more.

Will put up some photos soon.

Glory, glory Man Utd!!!!!!

There are many alleyways in London, each one leading me to another place I have never been.

I shall probably never manage to discover the delights at the end of each one...but I'm trying.

My child when I am gone,
do not shed a tear.
Do not lie awake at night,
gazing at stars in the hope of find me amongst other celestial beings.
Do not reminisce on days gone by,
or ponder the times to come.
Remember me only as yours,
that once was.
Yours,
that shall no longer be.

I am a child of this land,
and through my ancestors this is my spiritual home.
Desolate and barren as it may be,
this is my ultimate place of rest,
my grounds of solitude.

I am a child of this land,
but I will soon stray to distant plains,
chasing dreams that may not be my own.

I am a child of this land,
who has been wrapped up by life,
and forgotten himself a little more each day.

I am a child no longer.
For today I must become a man.
The end will eventually tend back to the beginning,
and guide me home

Just a thought

This has been bugging me all evening - do elephants get diarrhoea?

When she asked me.
When will this all be over,
and the "good life" finally begin.

When will today become your coveted happily ever after.
When will this, be your heralded happy place,
of infinite joy and possibility.

When will I be a queen, fit for your affection
(and) a muse, worthy of your prose.
When will the here and the now,
satisfy your desire for everything that is more.

When will you stop dreaming and searching
for all that you already have

Money...cash...hoes

Can you keep a secret?

Dexterity...determination...dedication...or
just another case of too much time?

Not a very momentus post to get us going. Will update the space in the fullness of time
