Age, Aged

Funny, age isn't it?
When we are in our teens, we want to grow up so fast, and then once we realise that the spark we once had, that youthful glimmer in our eyes has begun to dull, we race around trying to 'fix' it.
The only thing that is assured to us in life is a birth and a death, nothing more, all else is attained, but birth and death are given facts which we cannot refute.

The other day, I received the news that my mother is expecting another child, I am going to be 20 years older than this child and have no part in it's life, because I won't be around, and the age gap between my sisters isn't going to help either. I can't help feeling that this child is going to feel isolated, starting its life when everyone is busy sorting their own lives out.
But it made me think though, It made me remember, in essence, my own birth and childhood, and now that I can understand what it means to bring another life into this world (by understanding I mean that I am no longer a child who thought babies were delivered in the post) and I can also understand the events which shaped me with such clarity.

Truth Is A Sign

Truth is a sign on a dusty highway, looked upon but never followed,
We are told as children that the truth will be our salvation, and is it?
Maybe the sun warped sign was right, maybe the desert is the lie.


A Thought,

(I am meaning to expand, but just wanted to get that small thought out)

Cardiff! Cardiff! Cardiff!

(A Picture Of Mermaid Quay In Cardiff Bay)

I Love this city, everyone is polite and friendly, I've already met so many people in the short space of time that I've been here.
The architecture is stunning, the highstreet is fabulous (a bit too fabulous according to my aching bank balance hehehe) and just the feel of the place is so different, I feel totally at peace here, so comfortable and at peace.

Soooo, I guess that it's a good sign.

Even the gay scene is slightly more domesticated here, me having gotten used to the bitchy workings of a run of the mill gay club, I was taken aback.

Anyways, my mind has has been churning alot lately, alot of inspiration for alot more poetry. Maybe it's because I'm in love, or maybe it was them funky pills I took yesterday (any member of my family now reading this, please know, that it is a joke).

OoOo... Tomorrow night I'm going to be working at this big party in Cardiff giving Shiatsu massages, I'm so looking forward to it, there are gonna be so many people there and a 40ft inflatable church (hehehe, how apt) and people in fairy costumes and what not.

Anyways, will probably come up with something more that I wanted to say when i log off, so I'll fill you all in when I update next.
