Refusing help when you need it most is ridiculous.

A story I wrote back in high school. It basically sums up my grandfather’s life (seriously).

People say for most things you are never too late, but there are exceptions to the rule.

Those damn animal bracelets.

Either you have what it takes to make love work or you don’t have enough.

When you realise you were the only person putting anything into a relationship you feel ridiculous.

Maung Ba’s decision to get married to Rose had to be shelved for a timebeing. It was a time of anxiety and he wasn’t quite sure what the future would portend. They could be separated under unpredictable circumstances because of the imminent invasion and prospective occupation of Rangoon by the Japanese. His concern for her was such that he felt the necessity of postponing the marriage, suggesting, instead, that she should leave the country. He later changed his mind when she was determined not to leave without him. As tradition demanded, he would have to seek the advice of an astrologer who could suggest an auspicious date for their marriage.

My heart goes out to the families of any murdered person.

Summary of my thoughts on the emotional Gordon Brown interview with Piers Morgan on 06/02/10 in poetic form.

Suzuki’s message was a hidden prelude to what was in the offing. The purpose of the enigmatic letter, promising salvation, seemed too good to be true and there were those that felt that it was weighty enough to indicate that, perhaps, the smuggling of weapons into Burma might be a distinct possibility, short of war, about which nobody could even hazard a guess so far.
