Awakening

(This is an old one - circa 2003. I still like some parts of it, though most of it is tosh)

Deep red slashes across the sky
Like the setting of the sun i still wonder why
It felt like my world had been torn apart
Did you even realize you'd broken my heart?
No, not broken, more like bludgeoned to death
Soaked in every single tear that i shed
Wasting my time, wondering what if
I'd fought to keep you 'stead of setting you adrift
Out of my life, out of my world
They say hell hath no fury like a woman spurned
Spurned I was but I hate you not
Time healed the wound but I never forgot
I'd closed my soul, stopped people looking in
But maybe it's time to let them in again
Let you go and get rid of your spell
But keep you safe in a place where memories dwell

Who's your donkey?

This whole man-woman relationship thing is one I never get tired of writing about. It's crazy how different the two sexes really are. The thought process; from pre-relationship to in-relationship to post-relationship are so different you wonder how the in-relationship bit worked without going poof and leaving your face all blackened.
The pre-relationship stage for the female generally consists of evaluating the male. The evaluation process will consists of a long check list containing all or some of the following:
1) Appearance
2) What he drives
3) Where he works
4) Where he studied
5) Whether his finger/toe nails are clean
6) Whether he has facial hair
7) Whether he doesn’t have facial hair and why
8) Whether his ears and nose are proportionate to the rest of his face
9) How he eats
10) Whether he drinks
11) Whether he doesn’t drink and if so why
12) How many siblings he has
13) If there are male siblings, whether they are more attractive than him
And so on ad infinitum.
The males however just go,
"Donkey?”
“Pin the tail?”
“Oh, um,” (points) “here."
which is why halfway through the relationship they start to wonder,
“Where am I?”
“Who does this donkey belong to?”

Pani Pol

I was asked to contribute toward the jokes and recipes sections for the company newsletter so I thought I'd combine the two and write a funny recipe instead. Unfortunately the editorial powers that be didn't have a sense of humour and my offering was rejected.

Blog Off

Mudmark.com is no more. So here i am slinking back in to my old blog (which i actually thought i'd lost).

Now that I've shaken hands with long lost friends and settled down, let's start updating this thing, shall we?

Epiphanous rambling

I went for a bit of a walk this morning. The silly cat wakes me up at 5.30 on the dot anyway, demanding food, so I thought might as well and...
