Who Are You?

"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." - Jim Rohn

That was the quote on my iGoogle page. And it scared me.

Time to make changes in my life?

Not that I don't like the people I hang out with, but this kinda puts things into perspective a little for me.

Help?

Oh man...

I thought I was overwhelmed by lust when I first laid hands on the N97. As it turns out, my fickle heart swayed once I started researching online...

Here's the N96. Another brilliant N-series multimedia phone. I happen to be a fan of the Nokia N-series - I still have the now old-school N70. Some may think it's a tad too bulky, but I like the bulk - the phone sits securely and snugly in my hand. I tried it when Ash first got her phone. I like it cos it feels like a traditional Nokia, spruced up.

The downside? No QWERTY keyboard - a feature I have gotten quite used to on my first-generation iPhone.


Then there is the E75. Slim, with an alphanumeric keyboard AND a QWERTY one. Perfect! Except I'm not as fond of the E-series business phones.


The N97 still charms me, but after some 'bonding' time with it today - thank you Cheryl! - I felt that while I could get used to the QWERTY keyboard which lacks tactile feedback, I didn't quite fancy the user interface. And yes, I do understand that touchscreen is the 'in' thing right now, but I really won't miss it.

Who knew buying a phone would be this much of a headache?

Robin van Persie - We Do Love Thee

Oooo... According to results from my personal polls, Robin van Persie may just be the most hated Gunner around. Don't matter, us Gooners and Goonerettes love him just the way he is!

The Dutchman has emerged as the winner of the Arsenal Player of the Season poll! Woot! Altogether now - Robin van Persie! *clap clap clap-clap clap* Oh don't you pretend you don't know that chant.In his injury-free season (finally!), Robin scored 20 goals for the Gunners and played a major part in garnering whatever team spirit he could. Having signed a new contract that will keep him at Ashburton Grove for the foreseeable future, Robin pledged his allegiance and heart to Arsenal - that's the equivalent of sealing our love for him off with a kiss.

Love him or hate him, RvP and his hairy, muscular legs (yes, I do know that for a fact) are here to stay.

The Arsenal!

Lust Is A Dangerous Thing

You know what I mean.

Sparks in your head flying.
Your heart beating with wanton need.
Shallow breathing.
Butterflies in your tummy.

Then comes the first touch.
The anticipation searing like electricity,
lingering in the space just before contact.
Like that first kiss.

Every image you can summon,
is a fraction of your need.
Every smell and tactile sensation,
fuels the raging emotion within.

Perhaps it's a transient infatuation.
Or a good trip served up by desire.
An insatiable and irrepressible hunger.
A heady rush of intoxicating chills.

Damn I miss this.

I Want To Appreciate The Now.

I wish weekends were less tremulous.

If only we could all leave the past behind, appreciate and be thankful for the present, and look forward to the future.

Is something worth it when we have to fight so damn hard for it? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Who knows? Maybe at the end of the line, we're all just damn suckers.

Maybe the start of the football season will make things easier.
