Your 14-2-17 Valentine's Poem

Your 14-2-17 Valentine’s Poem

Love is a word, it’s a verb, it’s a noun, It inspires and scares, resounds up and down, It tickles the fancy, It draws up the fears, It wakes up the dead, and quenches the years,

Reduces grown men to tears, women to sigh, Children will learn, but til then wonder why, It bonds up a family, makes friends, It’s the glue, If untended for, anger, hate, pain will ensue,

The End of a Week of Books

The End of a Week of Books @TheBlogTag

Heya all :)

It has been a really busy week for me personally, and I missed a day of blogging yesterday, but not for nought – it’s hard work being a family man, so I thought I would take the time today to answer yesterdays question on The Blog Tag, as well as the end of week Q&A :) I also didn’t do the tag post from Tuesday as my Monday Book Review was also about my favourite book of all time,…

DS106 Daily Create #tdc1612: My Heart, My Love, My Everything!!!

Well wouldn’t you know it, on a day where I was actually wondering if people were picking up the real me through this blog, my DS106 fellowship provides me with the perfect challenge in which I get to share a part of myself that is the most important part… Yes, I’m a family man.

Even Home wasn’t at home anymore as he, his mommy and sister had to move out of their lovely house and into a flat on Jules Street, which today is a place that many fear to tread :( :(

His Mommy had to take up 4 jobs so…

Madonna MUSIC Madness

I have this weird relationship with Madonna.

I am well aware that the lady in question is nowadays pretty much a gay icon – I mention this because everytime I mention the “Madonna-thing” I get that raised eyebrow (you know the one I’m talking about, you’re probably doing it right now)…. The thing is, it wasn’t her gay-iconess that got my, ummm, attention, when as a young 14 year old I managed to…
