there’s a reason why lovers don’t take to the mountains,
the huge boulders make way for the sand and the fire burns the trees making it more magnificent,
shine shine shine shine.
it grows dependent,
the lovers grow,
inside when the first twilight first first first.

the picture,
the braids,
the blackness,
the pedestal,
walking itchy foot,
going nowhere turned fat,
its the nose therefore,
the flat oily nose in the morning,
penchant for the demise,
the long legs turned fat,
the eyes turned bubbly,
i’m mistaken.

Being promoted in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu

Posted on July 29, 2009 with No Comments

backThe last time I rolled in one of our branches I tapped out blue belts left and right, beat each consecutive players all higher belts and bemedalled in tournaments in their own rights. It was also the first time that I have to confront three players one after another. The first two I dominated while the last one outpointed me but cannot submit me–still I wasn’t promoted.

Last week I went to the branch again and even though I fought graciously though not submitting my opponents still I wasn’t promoted.

The experience broke me.

The Decorated Lawyer

She was a decorated student back in the days when she was taking up law, she graduated with honors and proceeded on working in a big company.

For years she worked hard to help the laborers in the company asserting their rights and their benefits. Then one day she lost her job following an altercation with some of the company’s bosses after arguing that instead of cutting down wages and firing people in the company indiscriminately to cut costs, the company should deal with employees who are becoming logs themselves (people in high positions who are not really working, instead just staying in their position just raking up salaries)

In a few days I am turning 29, personally I dreaded each time of the year when I have to celebrate my birthday because it forces me to think back to what happened last year and as such theres always a negative thing or two to look back to, but there are also a lot of good things to always remember and keep in heart.
