Somewhere.....
somehwere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me,i and
my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands
e.e.cummings

Post-holiday "couldn't give a shit" mood
Hey...
So its been a week already that i've returned from Portugal, and it was absolutely great to be home.. it wasn't long enough, it never is, really, but 9 days definitely wasn't long enough.
Great to see my bro, he is looking great, really happy and fit, nice to see that things are going good for him.
The last week i was in a pretty shitty mood all week, really didn't wanna be here, but its always the same isn't it? Come back from holidays and it takes a little while to go back into work mode, feeling quite restless already, need to book the September holiday really quickly so that I have something to look forward to that is closer than South Africa holiday.
Will try and post a couple pix, but cant promise i will as i fight with this bloody thing everytime i try to post photos.
Speak soon (when i'm in a better mood)

Friday at last, y in a bad mood?
Its finally friday, to top it off its a beautiful day outside, it finally feels like summer... HOWEVER.....feeling really pissed off with the world right now. Dont know why.. have no explanation for it whatsoever..at least nothing that will make sense to anyone.
Counting the minutes to get out of here. If only some people could see how dark my mood is they wouldn't be smiling at me, but hey all they can see is the smily,"all is funfuckingtastic" face that i'm putting on at the mo...
Also counting the seconds to go home, i cant remember last time i have felt so desperate to get there, not counting when my brother has his issues with his flatmate last year, everytime i get a message i just want to call back and spent hours on the phone with whoever smsed me.
not the right time to blog... see you all soon...

How many times has this happened to you?
The below is actually quite funny and very true, the worst thing is - regarding the " i just want to be friends" the guy will end up not wanting a friendship at all.
But in a way i cant really blame the guy for becoming more distant, its difficult to be in love and not being loved back, and sometimes a friendship will simply not be enough....
Keep well

The Futile Fugue: Variations on a Theme
How many times has this happened to you?
The stories remain the same, from the first note you passed in grammar school, to the woman you met through a mutual friend in college:
You meet a girl who is everything you ever wanted in a life-partner: attractive, funny, smart, great personality, laughs at your jokes, understands who you are as a human being, etc. You talk to her briefly, and find out that she is even more attractive now that you've spoken to her. You ask her out. She says to you:
"I JUST WANT TO BE FRIENDS"
You meet someone: a neighbor, schoolmate, co-worker, in the same club, on the same bus. You become fast friends. One day, you realize that, in addition to being a close friend, this person is an attractive woman. You ask her out. She says to you:
"I DON'T WANT TO RISK OUR FRIENDSHIP"
You meet a girl who you know could be the one. She makes your toes curl, your stomach knot, your mouth dry -- you become even more of a gibbering idiot then you usually are. You're so incapacitated in her presence that you can't ask her out. You decide that things will be better once you get to know her better, so you become friends. You become best friends -- so good, in fact, that you can't bring yourself to ask her out. Yet there is this nagging voice in the back of your mind that says you could be more than friends. You swear that you will tell her how you really feel. Right before you can do this, she tells you:
"I'VE MET THIS REALLY GREAT GUY"
Keep well

drinking, dancing, forgetting the world
Hello world,
Its monday again, back at work, its been a pretty quiet day but, that doesn't actually help the fact that i'm stuck in this office, when i actually feel like being outside enjoying the sun.
I had a really good weekend, it actually feels quite long, although I spent most of yesterday asleep, it must be because i was out drinking wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday. I'm drinking alot again, although i havent been sick on it for a long time, it just feels like a week doesn't go by that i dont drink.
Saturday especially, was really good, it was a friends birthday, and we started the night with a couples of bottles of wine, and next thing was 8.00am and i was feeling really guilty that i was a the club still dancing away. Met loads of new people that were at the birthday, and they are all so easy going.
Its so nice to have moments like this, to actually forget the world around you, the people, life in general, and enjoy life just for the sake of it and dance just because, and laugh because life is good, not to worry about anything in the world but the right now.
Anyway, that was my weekend.Got my leave approved today to go home, i cannot wait to be in Portugal. See my cousin, we have so much to catch up on, so much we need to talk about, i think she is probably one of the only people in the world that can understand what i am thinking just by looking at me, so it'll be very very good to be with her again, even if only for a few days.
That's all for now...
Carpe Diem :)

Was asked to work late tonight, couldn't really say no, so here i am past 8pm and i am so bored, these people never arrive for me to sort out their access to this bloody building.
A good thing, going for a drink after i finish here and am off tomorrow, going to a wedding. Should be good fun, have been very lazy, haven't bought a card or the present, its terrible i know, but i completely forgot the date until last weekend when the boys went out for the stag night.
On a different subject--
the exercising has such hasn't really been happening, well, havent joined the gym( will do soon), have been walking a lot more, but havent jog since.. but on the good side, last saturday i dance until 5.30 in the morning, from about 1am, that has to count for something, hasn't it? :/
Everyone is really obsessed about exercising in this place,i have never felt bad about it until now, all they seem to talk about is how many miles they have run in whatever time... boring shit i know, but i cant really tell them to shut up, after all i could use with losing a few pounds myself.
Lets see what happens.
