About me: Hmm... not too sure what to put here really... So hello! If there are any cool people who aren't pretentious who want to stop by and, in particular, people who I haven't seen for ages, then please say hello.
Anyway, I now work in London, in Shoreditch to be exact (I'm sorry, but people in Shoreditch are twats. Really stuck up there own...... ahem. RULE NO.1 - If it is not sunny, don't wear sunglasses - EVER. It's that simple!) for a law firm and commute back to not-so-sunny and really quite chav-central Southend. I'm making it sound terrible but some of the area's alright I suppose, if you like burnt out cars, police sirens, that sort of thing. Nah, I'm only kidding.
Happiness and smiles to all....
Who I'd like to meet: The jailer comes knocking,
Without wit yet mocking,
My shoes, my pride, my place.
I have answers,
If I could speak louder,
I'd silence it all flat.
Sometimes I get angry,
When my impulse beats reason,
Honesty and delusion collide.
Lust has a lifespan,
Love has eternity,
It is pure and hard to find.
Blood is thick,
But water runs right over it.
Hustle and bustle, voodoo and fire.
If I have faith,
Please show your face,
Because you're a stranger and we haven't yet met.
