Running with the Dogs

I have taken up jogging again. Been quite a long time since I have last exercised regularly. Still I needed to lose 20 kilos so I have finally managed to talk myself into going jogging.

There's a waterways very near to my apartment. I am not sure it is called a waterways but it is directly under the freeway and there is a canal with running water. There are paths on both sides so that people who want to walk, jog or bike can do so.

Yesterday when I started my jogging I met this huge dog. really, really huge. His owner was almost dwarfed by the sheer size of this dog. I think it was a saint bernard but I am not sure. I don't know much about dogs. But i think it was a saint bernard because I remember this one cartoon which portrayed a saint bernard dog was and this one looked pretty much like the one in that cartoon. Anyways I was talking about how huge it was. I started jogging on the other side as I did not want this dog to come after me.

Probably it's size would not have been that much noticeable except for the fact that as I was finishing my jogging I came up the smaller version of it. I think everyone has seen those small dogs that celberities like Paris Hilton is always carrying around. So this extremely small dog came running up to me and sniffing around my shoes. It's owner kept calling to it and it finally decided to go back to the owner after thoroughly inspecting my shoes and deciding there was nothing interesting about them. I asked the owner if it was a chihuahua but he replied that it was a miniature dachshund or something like that. I was too tired to really care.

So all in all I managed to burn some fat (which I probably have already put back on) and I saw two dogs of the oppposite sides of the size chart. Not bad for an hour of sweating.

Fireworks of New Years Eve 2005

It has taken me a year and half to upload these videos. Still it brings back some good memories. My wife (at the time my girlfriend), myself and a friend who was studying in Tasmania went to sydney for New Years festivities. We went to the harbour bridge around 12 o'clock at noon on the 31st of December 2004 and camped out till midnite. so we spent more than 12 hours waiting there and it was all over in less than 10 minutes. But the fireworks were spectacular and it was soemthing me and my wife had wanted to do for sometime. The videos were taken with a digital camera that allows only 30 seconds at a time to be recorded. I ended up with 10 clips of fireworks. I managed to cleave them together and make two vids each 2 and a half minutes long. The second clip is better than the first one. Enjoy.

Tales of a Cop - Part 4


Forbidden Love

He was on reception duty when the call came. His superior officer told him to get ready so that they could both travel to a nearby island for a case. It seemed like a simple case. Two girls who were under house arrest had gone out of their houses and thereby committed another crime. It always happened. What was not simple was the history of these two girls.

The island itself seemed to have contributed to the original crime that had been committed. Their crime?? Lesbianism.

There were few men on the island. Most of the menfolk were in other islands working. This of course left the womenfolk to their own devices. As he read the girls’ case files he got more and more confused. He was pretty naive when it came to women and had never really thought that women could have sex. The graphic descriptions in their files opened up a whole new world to him.

It was not the first time something like this has happened on that island. There have been other instances. One involved a mother and her daughter. Her reply when asked why this had happened was that she had not breastfed her daughter when she was younger so she thought she would do it now.

Anyways he went to the island and brought the two girls to the island office where his boss had a long talk with them and advised them not to violate their house arrest. They were sent back to their homes and he went back to his island.

Blog Overhaul - part 2


I got this template which I am using from erisfree which somehow seems to havegot itself suspended. That means some of the features of my blog are not working, like the background which had its image stored directly on that website. So I put in a new background which doesn't really mesh with the whole look of the blog but it is a start and will have to stay that way till I can figure out a way to make a new background. I also have to update some of the links. I think I will get rid of the credit box and put the blogger button in the buttons box. That will do for the moment I think...

Rest in Peace Dha'tha

My aunt died last week. She was my mother's older sister. She had been sick for sometime now and it is probably a good thing for her that she has now moved on to a better place.

I wake up sometimes at night


I wake up sometimes at night;
The dark is still there
It is not yet light

I try to remember why
I woke up; and there
Right beside me you lie

I remember now; 'twas your hand
It had slipped from where
It should be; in my hand!

I take back your hand slowly
And squeeze it very very softly
I look at your face; my angel asleep!
At last i can go back to sleep

Green Eyes


Green eyes follow me
Wherever I go
Be it up or down
Or sideways through the door

Green eyes capture me
Times when i dare to look
My heart make like drums
The whole of my body shook

Green eyes adore me
From a distance afar
A shyness so endearing
As approachable as a star

Green eyes touch me
As I have never been touched before
As I want to be touched again
Countless times more

Green eyes smile at me
Stars winking in the night
The sun signaling the return of day
Putting the dark to flight

Green eyes question me
A query I cannot answer
A journey I cannot begin
A love I cannot return

Words to live by


In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your superficial sentimentalities, and amicable philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity.

Let your conversational communications possess a compacted conciseness, a clarified comprehensibility, a coalescent cogency, and a concatenated consistency.

Eschew obfuscation and all conglomeration of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affectations.

Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and voracious vivacity without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast.

Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolificacy, and vain vapid verbosity.

In short: "Be brief and don't use big words."

blog overhaul

I have been experimenting with different types of blog templates and trying to see which template best suited my blog. I have found a good one at http://blogspottemplates.blogspot.com/ and am currently trying to tweak it so that it looks nicer than it already is. I am learning a lot about blogging trying to do this. I like the spidey backgroud but I like the backgroud with dina and me as well. so lets see... I might put up a poll later and decide on it. once I have figured out how to put polls on.

Unsung

Night turns into morn,
Around us the world has grown,
Some dies and some are born
Still my love for you is not shown.
Sitting straight on my throne,
I stare at you until you are gone,
Leaving me all alone,
My love for you... unknown.
