you can sometimes find wisdom is the weirdest places....

"If you are on a train, will you reach your destination quicker by running up and down the corridors? Some processes just need to take as long as they need to take. That's not easy when you feel a burning desire to get them over with as quickly as possible. Yet that's actually all the more reason to make sure that you don't waste your energy. Even if it means incurring the disapproval of people who do not understand, you need to pull back a little and pace yourself this month. Focus on what can be done, and become less agitated about whatever, for now, cannot be altered."

poem by Zach aged 9

There are only dreams
There might yet be hope for me
For love I will not forget like summer blue
Autumn and winter, spring too...
I am a drawing, you are the colour
and you give life to me

Risky Business

Loving anyone is risky
Loving someone an awful lot is awfully risky – it leaves your heart unprotected and vulnerable and sometimes it gets unintentionally crushed by the slightest of slights
Loving anyone is joyful
Loving someone an awesome amount is awesomely joyful – it fills your heart up and just a smile can light up your whole day
We make our choices - we know the risks, we know the rewards.

of mice and men...and msn messenger


R says (15:35):
wat r u doing
J says (15:36):
I'm at home today got snowed in and couldn't make it in to work.
I just went out to supermarket and was driving along and a mouse ran up my arm! Most perturbing! It must have got in my car to get out of the snow. I couldn't stop straight away as roads were so bad so it went and sat by the speedometer and sat washing itself whilst I drove - it was hilarious
R says (15:40):
i want to fuck u
J says (15:40):
oh...you don't want to hear my amusing anecdotes then?

footnote 'R' is an ex who J hasn't seen in more than a year
