  • Sometimes life is like a tango . . .

    This is not a story about true and lasting love. Make no mistake….just because it is played on a large screen and has beautiful scenes staged for the delight of the players and now for you, dear reader…well, that does not make it love. It was lovely all right – take- your-breath-away beautiful, but it…

  • Diary (14) “Alienation “

    Diary (14): Alienation May 31st 2009 (NOTE: there was a photo here of somebody kissing the TV presenter goodnight. Apparently, a known phenomenon where extreme loneliness affects people.

    My best friend just broke my heart – if I remember what it’s like to have a heart breaking -betrayal – confusion. I wasn’t ‘in love’ with him – don’t know how to do that. I saw him for who he was – broken by life’s battles, addictions and heartbreak, but noble nonetheless. He made…
