right, so today i completed my 18th london marathon Smile finished in 3.28hrs which is pretty cool considering my personal situation - but hey y'know that's the thing - that despite what's going on in our own lives we should never forget about others - i personally ran to raise for aids awareness but for all of you out there today that took part and for whatever cause you were choosing to support - i real just wanna say well done guys Smile near on 40,000 participants ran today (some still running - walking - crawling) - my belief that there are still good people out there, away from computers, remains intact Smile xxxxx

yeah so anyway time now i guess to kick back and suffer the agony that is nal v chelsea (can i please just run 26 miles again it's less painful lol) - you'd think as a gunner i'd be used to it by now - always the bridesmaid never the bride Sad haha - what happened to the glory days of nal? and c'mon guys before you answer that it was kinda hypothetical and wishful thinking Wink

johnny xxxxx

edit - lmao at nal - should say a*rsenal - it's a football team marapets staff! ah man *shakes head*

an endless tale
10 years, 1 month & 3 days ago
22nd Oct 2014 07:17

a tale of no beginning
because where does life begin?
does it begin with the spring time daffodil
or begin with the winter snow?
does it begin with the summer daisies
or begin with the autumn fall?
we're born to life - as we are to death
so much to give - so much to see and do
and yet in life the seasons pass by and by
can we hold our heads high
and say we did the right thing?
in life, that's only a question our own hearts can answer.

the scrapes in the playground
and the ignorant stares
just told you one thing
that nobody cares

you bury your head
and keep walking for miles
you know what they said
yet they're still full of smiles

the adulthood beatings
and the bad-timing meetings
just because you don't look the part
can be criminal, damaging
you're left lying and bleeding
stabbed with a knife in your heart

but back to my tree now
and the seasons of life
you people like rhyming but i'm done

my tale with no beginning comes to an end
but where does life end?
does it end with the spring time daffodil
or end with the winter snow?
does it end with the summer daisies
or end with the autumn fall?
we're born to death as we are to life
so much to have given - but so much not done
and yet in death the seasons pass by and by
can we hold our heads high
and say we did the right thing?
in death, that's only a question we can take with us.

acorns

and so the day came
a new day
a wondrous day
borne from an acorn
an acorn of life
thousands of seconds
becoming thousands of years
a new life

a solitary acorn that falls alone will wither
holding out its branches
grasping at far-away roots
withered and wilting but awaiting inevitable death

a solitary acorn that falls among friends will thrive
branches held by those who love
no need to grasp no need to want
alive and growing

a thousand years

inanimate people
13 years & 10 days ago

illusive shadows in a darkened corner
flickering lights of a mindless mind,
the advice in a whisper
under the cloud of a fool,
quiet words of persuasion
confused by it all.

inquisitive chanting with hands held firm
unspoken answers of a voiceless voice,
pretence and compassion veiled in a mist
the silence of solitude echoed,
volume of multiple thoughts increased
confused by it all.

clambering of bodies pushing forward
chilling the flow of bloodless blood,
lies and passion hidden in screams of denial
the emptiness of a confused mind beckons,
is this life or death
or just inanimate people?
confused by it all.
