Et tu?

I smiled
I am crying but I smile
I am disillusioned but I smile
I am seething with anger but I smile
I am shattered but I smile
I am poignant but I smile
I am aware of my doom yet I keep my smile
The time has come not to face anger with might
But to serve my revenge deep in winter’s night
When darkness envelopes the laughter of betrayal
And the warmth of passion no longer felt
Specter of loyalty traded with horror
Trepidation prevails
As the angst of treachery haunts the soul
You are my quest
For a lifetime is mere lingering grind
Seek the wrath of my rile
Or
Scurry
I shall be at your door when spring beckons
Only me
Me

Posted: 29 September 2005 By: Robert Andrews Email: news@journalism.co.uk Pioneering backpack ... I will report from the field solo, as I often have over the last five years, but will be supported by my 'Mission Control' team based in Santa Monica, California," wrote Mr Sites on his blog .

hi anonymous,

thanks to having to turn off my word verification, because i find it annoying and too much work to squint and figure the letters out, and the damn words also doesn't appear on my nokia 9300 when i log in via WAP, i shall learn to enjoy your comments.

i am actually very pissed off right now, and wouldn't mind the company. so i will definitely drop by wenindiayellowpages.com and seek further enlightenment on Mr Sites on his blog and see what the heck it is that he is reporting solo.

(i am so so sick!)

cheers?

But one can only smile for so long. I prefer to just give them the middle-finger salute. Shuts them up and relieves my stress a bit (the bad chi goes from most from that finger I guess hehehe)

You expressed what i've been trying to say for the past few months so eloquently in that poem of yours (it is poem kan?)

always a smile on the front, despair is served behind close doors,seen and heard by my close friends.

Now already up a notch a bit, being vindictive is beginning to take place as one of my characters. :)

thank you folks for the kind words of encouragement. yes zed is fine... he is wounded but not fallen.

if you have not seen Elephant Man - i recommend it. the lessons of how revenge is evoked remains in my mind a timeless classic. you will never know when it strikes, and spending a lifetime having to watch your back is in itself the first punishment.

for now, i have to take a break. perhaps one day i will tell you all about the saga, however as i am deep in the trenches, i shall have to focus my mind on my battles.

and yes, i am enjoying the fucked up feeling of feeling fucked up, so depression will rule the land for the foreseeable future. but hey some of the best pieces from Picasso, Mozart and Beethoven came from a depressed mind (or perhaps crazy) so maybe something great will come out of this period too.

again, i thank you all for your thoughts, and as ramadhan dawns upon all of us, let me be the first to wish you all "selamat berpuasa".

hey pixie,

thanks for the thought... but i no longer measure life by days =) so it is when katarsis takes place that equilibrium is achieved.

cheers!
