Watch the Birdy

Too tired to write anything today so if anyone's reading then have an old poem to keep you going. I must get round to writing more some time. If no-ones reading then what the hell, nothings lost.
An Interruption
 
Four finches in the hedge discuss
How the dawning day progressed.
Forgive my ignorance when I report
That each of you were brown.
 
So four brown finches chatted
Each wearing a black balaclava

Considering bear necessities

I recently had a text conversation with a friend. I asked him if he was going to the pub later to which he replied does a bear shit in the woods. He did go to the pub of course but I pondered the question. Does a bear indeed shit in the woods? I have never seen it happen. There are no bears in the wild on this island but in all my years of watching nature TV I cannot recall ever seeing how or where a bear goes to the toilet. Oh I have seen them mark territory with scent but never take a dump.

Clan Infighting

Clan wars for real....

There might even be harsh language and fisty cuffs. Wonder if they're still trying to get a certain burger chain to cough up compensation over name rights?

Spaces damn you

Spaces! There's supposed to be spaces between each stanza. In the name o the wee man! How can an artiste create in such an environment?

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

You know, I think I'll keep this blog avatar for a while. It's grown on me. It's bright and vibrant, which perfectly juxtaposes my demeanor these days

Picture this

I need an Avatar for my blog. I'm not sure if my current one does it for me. I started off with a picture of the snow capped Kilimanjaro simply because I needed a picture. It was weeks before I realised the halo2 connection. It was purely unintentional. I've never had a kilimanjaro in the game. A couple of killing sprees, yes, and my highest spree is 7 kills, but I digress. I felt that picture was a bit bland and not very clear so as a stop gap I found a little animation of my country's flag, the Saltire (or St Andrews Cross), fluttering in the cyber breeze.

Menstruation and Masterbation

An open, and perhaps rhetorical, question: When women go through that 'special' time of the month, why are men wankers? I am not a tosser! (most of the time that is. I have my moments, in the figurative sense, from time to time). I am being general in the accusation. My dear wife has never used such terms to describe me but it's a good way to describe the general tone and outlook while nature takes it's course. I empathise ladies. I sympathise. I would change it if I could but all I can do is grit my teeth and run the gauntlet.

Floaty floaty swimmy head

In the brief moments of sleep last night I had some very wierd dreams. One of which I can remember only little bits and would take too long to explain. Assuming it were even possible. The other was more lucid and slightly freaky. Sadly neither were erotic. the dream I can share involved half a dozen or so large slimey slugs slopping their way across the ceiling of my kitchen. There were silvery trails everywhere and some even secreted silk, which allowed them to suspend from the ceiling.
