p.s i am now inlove with vampire weekend

giving up the gun

Your sword’s grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It’s locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it’s done

And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun

When I was 17
I had wrists like steel
And I felt complete

And now my body fades
Behind a brass charade
And I’m obsolete

But if the chance remained
To see those better days
I’d cut the cannons down

My ears are blown to bits
From all the rifle hits
But I still crave that sound

I heard you play guitar
Down at a seedy bar
Where skinheads used to fight

Your Tokugawa smile
And your garbage style
Used to save the night

You felt the coming wave
Told me we’d all be brave
You said you wouldn’t flinch

But in the years that passed
Since I saw you last
You haven’t moved an inch

I see you shine in your way
Go on, go on, go on


ah* they are my new favourite
and they remind me of Tara :)

saturday morning musings

today i made cupcakes for my grandpas 78th birthday*

and then we saw Robin Hood;

List and hearken, gentlemen,
That be of free- born blood,
I shall tell you of a good yeoman,
His name was Robin Hood.

[and now i want to live in a forest]

can you feel it?

starbucks is comming to south africa for the world cup... im not too sure how i feel about this, yes i do live for the days when i go over seas that i can drink a cup of refined sugar that tastes like heaven, but thats what i look forward to when i leave south africa, what will i have to look forward to now?

this is the outfit that i wish i had worn today*

and this is what i read today :)
"...and we may be pretty certain that persons whom all the world treats ill, deserve entirely the treatment they get. The world is a looking glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion; and so let all young persons take their choice."
— William Makepeace Thackeray (Vanity Fair)
i love how he writes.

A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language -
