MY MUSE

Is always kind

Is not judgmental

Is Patient

Yet full of fire

I'll reward her generosity one day

The gift she gives is more precious to me than each breath of life

I'll share her inspiration with a hundred thousand souls

They'll join with me as one

She will hear her inspirations sung back as one voice

So loud, so clear

 . . . and maybe then . . . just maybe . . .

She will know how much I love her

Unconditional Surrender - Gains another verse!

It's Late,

Been up all night,

Counting the days,

You know I'll never go away,

You have my,

Unconditional Surrender,

What is the price,

For so beautiful a vice,

Gave my all,

Watch me fall,

I have no choice,

If I ever hear your voice,

Don't let me go,

Out of the storm in your eyes,

Comes a strange possession,

Confessions of the soul,

Long is the darkness that falls,

Cold is the night,

Without you by my side,

Its True,

I've been drowning,

In the deepest of blue

Reflect me in

A different Hue

Green signs

My Unconditional Surrender

More lyrics wot I'm playing with

Tears fall from her face once more

Will she ever stop the rain

Sunlight shines in her eyes once more

There will be rainbows again

Tears not all for you

Tears never enough to join the oceans blue

Tears Scattered like drops across the years

till all that remains are a pool of tears

She needs your faith

She needs your Love

It's so simple, and so plain

So when she looks at the stars above

No dark clouds, no more rain

Tears not all for you

Tears never enough to join the oceans blue

Tears Scattered like drops across the years

till all that remains are a pool of tears

Whats in a Tattoo ?

I only have one Tattoo at the moment its based on a Polynesian design, it wraps itself across and around my shoulders and down on to my chest.

To be honest it does need re inking now since it was done back in 1998 and when I have that done I will have it extended down my spine in a double helix like DNA around my pelvic bone onto the tops of my thighs . . . however . . . . . .

I've never been a fan of  'badge tattoos' with one exception, the Superman logo, now I know what you will think, I'm either a comic book geek or I'm just having the same tattoo thousands of others have had . . . and maybe you are right  . . . maybe not.

I like to think that tattoos are one of the greatest expressions of  'self' they say something about us and how we would like to be perceived.

So when I say I want a Superman logo tattoo you could naturally be fooled into thinking I consider myself a Man of Steel or that I wish I could fly or that in some other way I align myself with the comic book heroes virtues or super powers.

but like I said tattoos are in my belief a form of self expression . . . . . .

So I am having a Superman logo not to emulate Superman but to align myself with Clark Kent

Put simply Superman is the only super hero who puts on a costume or a facade to appear like the rest of us to integrate and feel part of the human race.

Sometimes You have to Wonder . . . . .

I just read a blog by a full time journalist . . . this one as it happens:

http://www.fleetstreetfox.com/2011/10/more-imoney-than-isense.html

and came away thinking a couple of things, yeah right on . . if I was 12 years old and secondly what an asinine pile of arse.

With the sad demise of Apple founder Steve Jobs it was only a matter of time before haters started.

I mean let me be clear in my professional capacity as a designer Apple products have been the cornerstone of my 'toolbox' for many years in much the same way as Snap-On tools are to a mechanic, but suggesting that either Steve Jobs or Apple fail because they didn't, don't and won't solve World poverty leads you to think only one thing . . put the bottle down.

Also I'll be the first to admit that Apple products are pretty expensive and there are certainly cheaper solutions available if you cannot afford to go with the Apple option . . its always been this way with Apple so this is hardly breaking news.

Now to the article in question specifically . . . Steve Jobs and Apple were never conceived to solve any of the Worlds problems they are a corporate business with the specific goal of becoming as profitable as is possible, in fact their long running rival Microsofts former CEO could be considered as questionable having become a born again philanthropist in order to garner public popularity having made himself universally hated for his Windows (insert version number here) creation, in some last ditch attempt to be remembered fondly when the blue screen of death comes for him.

Apple generates wealth for the US economy and has created numerous jobs worldwide, the respective worldwide governments collecting tax from Apples efforts are the ones that should be under scrutiny here.

Similarly I could point out that Apple was the innovator with regards to the iPhone for instance, but you can easily obtain an Android alternative with the same feature set and donate the price differential to charities focusing on abolishing poverty yourself.

I see no point in berating Steve Jobs when all he did was be the best businessman he could be.

He did lead the way however in integrating technologies so that we might communicate with each other and in the case of recent events throughout the Middle East prevent despots and dictators from operating without the worlds eyes watching.

To quote one of the greatest inventors of all time when asked by the President of the United States "Tell me Mr Edison, what real use is this electricity you intend to generate" Edison simply replied "You will be able to tax it Mr President" . . perhaps worth remembering when you turn out Edisons other great non poverty solving invention tonight as you go to sleep.

Ok so on with the show!

Rather than write some boring long arsed intro to the blog . . (which I can do later, or not) . . here are some lyrics.

This is a verse and chorus from a song called Goodbye Lullabye, its a dreamy track with a great guitar solo that drifts on into the distance.

I guess it would normally be the last track on the album . . so lets start with it on the blog!


Every single day,
Before you close your eyes,
Sail into waters blue,

See star filled skies,
Each one a wish,
Yet to come true,

If one wish could tumble down,
Put to rest,
The days gone by,

Sing this lullaby . . . . 


:)

What goes on here ?

You can pretty much ignore this first post . . . its just so I can see the layout and formatting . . . :)
