Andrew’s a bit of poet. He’s not like one of those dramatic, scarf-wearing, standing-in-the-rain type poets. He just likes to play with rhythm and word density. He writes amusing verse sometimes. On the main page for this very website is a poem Andrew wrote which is meant to sound like the King James Old Testament poetry, in fact.
Anyway, he now has a formally published poem, except it’s not really a poem. More like… free verse meets haiku. It’s on the public transport system (along with many others), but it’s also on the web, along with with an extremely amusing autobiographical paragaph.
I did take him to task somewhat over the way he used the word “contemporary” in the description. I think he could have chosen a better word, and I don’t think the way he used it was quite correct. He defended his choice of word, of course, but I still think he was wrong on the internet (which is why I must correct him; can’t have people going around being wrong on the internet now, can we?)
I will complain slightly that I was originally the one who came up with the idea of nursing homes filled with tattooed people with pierced eyebrows, but he’s forgiven for stealing my ideas. Fact is, we’ve been together so long now and our minds are so intertwined that it’s hard to tell who thought what first. But I’m sure that this was originally my concept. No matter. I’ll steal something from him and get it published one day. That’ll show him. Or something.

Well, it’s Winter Solstice today here in the Southern Hemsphere. The shortest day of the year. Starting tomorrow, the days start to get longer, and soon it will be spring. I’m looking forward to it, believe me. Not only do I quite dislike the cold, I do still suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, although it’s only enough to make me totally exhausted and completely unmotivated, rather than being truly “depressed”.
Anyway, in honour of the solstice, here’s one of my all-time favourite songs (Here Comes the Sun) sung by my all-time favourite Beatle (George Harrison). Enjoy. (That’s an order! Enjoy it, dammit! ENJOY! Do you hear me?!)

This article made me smirk and shake my head and sigh a bit. Gee, whiz, George Bush is suddenly concerned that the world thinks he’s a warmonger! Oh, gosh!

Mr Bush voiced regret at divisions in the international community created by the war in Iraq, adding: “I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric”.
He admitted that his use of phrases such as “bring them on” and “dead or alive” had “indicated to people that I was, you know, not a man of peace”.

Gee, George, ya think? *smirk* *shakes head* *sighs a bit*

I don’t normally pay any attention to the Nigerian scam emails I get. I just report them and get on with my life. But this one really caught my attention. I love how FedEx uses Gmail and has lost contact with the sender via Western Union and calls on the name love of God and the Spirit of the Lord…. This was obviously written by a truly, TRULY clueless scammer. I hope and pray that nobody would be stupid enough to fall for this one (which is why I’ve removed any/all contact information), but it was such an amusing read, I just had to share it.
