Fly in my soup?
Food containing any traces of garlic should be banned within a work environment, can't these people eat lunch away from their desks? The sun is actually shining outside and their is a park across the road, but no they sit at there desks and discuss how lovely the bread they got from Sainsbury's is causing me to dry wretch as it smells like old socks and crutch.
Funny the snippets of conversation you hear in an open planned office. Try sitting in someone else's chair for a few hours and see the outlook on life they get for a day. I sit facing towards a window and I get to see people come in and out of the office as I also face the doors. I also have the in and out tray hovering over my desk and the water cooler - so everyone docks by my desk and must see the internet abuse I do over my lunch break (yes I work through lunch mostly and I don't eat at my desk, except for the bagel in the morning with coffee). I just smelt Salmon... damn it why fish! I suppose it's better than Sardines as if I smelt that I would tell them to shove those slimy filthy stinky things up their own ass.
Apart from that last weekend happening to be a long weekend, was again a quiet one. I've long decided the party life is on a hold and that once a weekend (if that) is all it needs for me to continue my social decree of abstainance. Currently organising my birthday at Abacus for July 1st with Horse who is hopefully designing a funky invite. Horse and Bradders just got from Malta over the weekend, they have been doing a lot of travelling, hence to say that I havent and everyone else has been.
The boys are trying to get a week away together, possibly Portugal, towards the end of July as tickets are cheap. Hoping to have time off by then for it.
Nothing too exciting in the household. Chris the new English lad is quite the funny guy from Sheffield, as I've been having a few drinks with him of late. Ulandi (spelling?) is the new South African lass into the barracks upstairs, not much to say about her as she as dull as a butter knife and as Praetorian as an Afrikaan can be.... getting closer and closer for me to move out of that place - but I do bide my time!
This Saturday is Bradder's and Ben's birthday at the Zoo bar in Leciester Square (after they were told it was such a bad place on the weekend, it might change) so it should be good days...
It's a salmon salad with sun dried tomatoes - looks good - doesn't make it smell any good though.

Errghh
Woke up in completely the wrong end of London this morning and lost as hell, found out when I got to work it's one of the worst places to be in London to be, I guess I should of realised this when I asked some guy for directions to the tube and he just smiled at me and all his teeth were silver....
My head now hurts and I'm downing enough OJ and Coffee to sustain living!

Place and time
So I'm sitting on the tube Tuesday evening on the way to meet up with Liv (who I haven't caught up with since she has been here, very slack of me). My headphones dug deep into my ear and I'm flicking through some Australian tunes, I always like to put my IPOD on random usually has a good mix to delve out, however reminds me I have a number of songs to kill off too in it. Anywho I've looked up and there are advertisements within the Tube system, and these were promoting Gordon's Gin, clever uses of pictures and words and highly colorful, 3 in total and I was just looking at each from left to right. 19 out of 20 berries arent good enough for Gordon's Gin.. next.. We use Lemongrass and Ginger to make Gordon's Gin.. next .. It's a slow process using sloe berries to make Gordon's Gin.. then I look at fourth and last advertisement in the spacing... Berocca gives you back your bounce. I laughed aloud and people looked up from their afternoon commute, now I could explain it too them, which I didnt I just stared at them with a large grin... this girl sitting next to me got it I think, either that or I think she just smiled at my outburst of laughter.
Anyone else seen advertisement that has made them laugh like that?
I should be in product placement I think.
Meeting up with the lads this weekend - they wish to delve into planning trips away together. Joy I'm trying to pay off a credit card and these guys want to fill it back up again.

Errr get me a bucket!
And the American's are wondering why that their young generation is becoming obese and have fat ankles and will pass down their hearts to their generations;
http://www.hardees.com/menu (link fixed)
Funny thing is that Hardee's actually look like they promote this type of thing to the public, yeh you know you want some type of attitude, thing is they are probably right. After looking at that I will continue my regime against all take-away stores... except of course the Hungry One, Northfields where the Amercian style burgers are the best at 2am in the morning!
I think we going to need another bucket!

Lost and Found
Expectation looms and dies and dies and dips and reappears and each time is greater or lesser or just completely unexpected.
And we greet or we run or we seek desperately .
Or we sigh.
And when we wear it everyone can see plainly and like a siren for those we dream for and deliberate and repeat and those that eat up all our time.
And we wear sunglasses darker than the thoughts that keep us from sleeping or we scream it out because we know and defy those that have loved and lifted and raised and helped and made us who we are, we walk away from them, knowing that that's what we are doing and we believe, we believe because you're essentially alone if you don't believe and all the other dreams are slowly not ever going to be a reality so we cling to the one that doesn't require a salary or a home or a principle or a motivation or even an inspiration - it just makes you feel good
Some people get it right - some people don't and then that becomes enough.
Who says?
Little frogs are everywhere,
And their limbs are impossible and so we watch.
We are bored, we haven't jumped enough,
We've never jumped.
How hard is it to rip open your lip with a tin opener?
How hard is it when you punch a old man who's nose is red, red like the canyons in his eyes and his voice?

Chewing fat
Who says the world is your oyster, when they don't like the taste themselves. Running around like frightened sheep amongst the mass throng of crowds, when you know a shepherd can herd you but your wool is black. Who decides what is right and wrong when you read if they turned left or right, we do not judge we just make judgements, unclear and precise subjectivity. Why does it make people think about the label and not about the effect nor the square they are so comfortably planted like a one hundred year old oak protected by the family around it, who holds that axe aloft for you? Where do you bide your time and place your knowledge and advice when it is so evident you are troubled like the teenager you still are and the baggage you hold onto like a pain snail seeps its murk around behind you. You bow down to your false pretences and mark me with your burnt stick and make me feel your guilt that I do not want nor need, you are nothing but your own wants and needs. What knowledge have you to offer me when I only want your love, like the first puppy you had or the first born a mother smiles at. When do you feel your mighty branches swaying in the wind when there has never been a cloud drifting over your heads in years, you catch stars which are not there and try wrapping them in tissue paper to hand off as cheap souvenirs to people, they are not yours to give. How many eggs in your basket do you count daily and then kick the hen that cannot provide for you today, it is only natures course and you are never to make it divert down the long road you once thought you travelled. Fire your arrows at me, I am just a target for your self-indifference, your lust for life is with me and you are jealous like the green monster of envy, greener then the football pitch your played on as a child, greener than the person that did not love you. What hopes do you make and when do you give up on them in a rigged lottery that stamps out the flames with a torrent of tears.
