ABOUT ME:
I'm strange.
That's it, that's all you need to know...unless you're really persistant or demented and want to know more.

Nessun dorma
Nessun dorma,
nessun dorma ...
Tu pure, o Principessa,
Nella tua fredda stanza,
Guardi le stelle
Che tremano d'amore
E di speranza.
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun saprà, no, no,
Sulla tua bocca,
io lo dirò
Quando la luce
splenderà.
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
Che ti fa mia.
Il nome suo nessun saprà
E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir...
Dilegua, notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba vincerò!
Vincerò!
Vincerò!
Giacomo Puccini
(1858-1924)

No One Sleeps
English Version of "Nessun Dorma"
None shall sleep!
None shall sleep!
Even you, o Princess,
in your cold bedroom,
watch the stars that tremble with love
and with hope
But my mystery is hidden within me;
none will know my name! No, no!
On your mouth
I will say it
when the light
it will shine!
And my kiss will melt the silence
that makes you mine!
None will know his name...
and we will have to, alas, die, die!
Vanish, o night!
The stars they set!
The stars they set!
At daybreak I shall be victorious!
I shall win!
I shall win!

Every morning a gazelle wakes up in Africa, knowing it must out run the fastest lion, or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa a lion wakes up knowing it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will go hungry. So in Africa, it doesn’t matter if you are a lion or a gazelle, when you hit the ground, you better be running! – Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.

WORDS OF WISDOM AND OTHER STUFF....
~ I wasn’t born a bitch, Life made me this way.
~ No, I don’t have PMS – I just really hate you.
~ I never really though of myself as a princess…..but if the crown fits…..
~ They said “Relax, it could be worse.” I did and it was.
~ I’m really easy to get along with once people learn to see things my way.
~ I have plenty of talent and vision, I just don’t give a damn.
~ Just remember if the world didn’t suck we’d all fall off.
~ Chocolate, coffee, men….some things are just better rich.
~ Always yield to temptation because it may not pass your way again.
~ Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.
~ Some people are alive only because it’s illegal to kill them.
~ I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.
~ You’re just jealous because the voices talk only to me.
~ Consciousness - that annoying time between naps.
~ Don’t take life to seriously, no one gets out alive.
~ Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
~ Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.
~ I’m not a complete idiot, some parts are missing.

“There comes a point when you just love someone. Not because they’re good, or bad, or anything. You just love them. It doesn’t mean you’ll be together forever. It doesn’t mean you won’t hurt each other. It just means you love them. Sometimes in spite of who they are, and sometimes because of who they are. And you know that they love you, sometimes because of who you are, and sometimes in spite of it.” - Anita Blake, from Incubus Dreams by Laurell K Hamilton.

Attributed to Lady Thornicroft after the hunt. when a saboteur asked her why the horse was so hot and sweated up; "If I had you between my legs for two and a half hours you dear sir, you would be equally as hot and sweaty."
In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. 1100 pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs - it's something you just can't get from a pet hamster.

thepoetsings on June 20Like your work.
Made me laugh, seeing "O fortuna / Velut luna" further up on your page. Last spring, my choir sang Carmina Burana in its entirety...reminded me of that. Thanks for sharing your work AND adding me as a favourite.
