Tower Of Babel

Floating lanterns - Diwali Festival
Trafalgar Square, London

I am not a Hindu, nor am I even Indian, but those lanterns are pretty. I stole the picture from somebody’s photostream at Flickr. Yeah, I am shameless! Since I don’t really have any diwali business in my background, I don’t have much else to say about it. Enjoy the pretty picture, zeen?

So, Natty has gone out to have dinner and drinks with one of her sistren. I am @ home with MBJr. He is watching Monster House, its just out on DVD. Me, well, you know what I’m doing, nuh true?

I went to a memorial service yesterday evening. It was for an Irish guy I used to work with @ the bank I used to work for before the one I just left. He was a pretty decent chap. Anyway, he was this very active guy, he used to play squash, swim, run, play rugby and so on, he even ran in the New York Marathon last year, and then all of a sudden, he started to have some back pain. He was mis-diagnosed at first, and then he went to Florida to check things out and boops, so him take off and go to hospital, so him drop dead!

Turns out he ….

Turns out he had this wicked cancer. Everyone was really shocked, ‘cos he was always so active, you know. Anyway, he was a good guy and I hope him gone to Heaven straight!

You know, I found out that he was younger than me too. And now he’s gone… just like that! Makes you think, doesn’t it. People, enjoy life. Do what makes you happy. If you are not happy, re-evaluate things. Decide what will make you happy and go for it. Life is short, and popular belief has it that you only get one turn. Oonoo must ‘membah dat!

Anyway, enough of this serious talk… I was surfing and I came across this picture of a girl pole dancing. The caption suggested that she was doing it on a pole erected in her bedroom, for her significant other. I reflected upon that for a bit and I have come to the conclusion that I have not seen any pole dancing done for a long time, in fact, for too long! I am therefore considering buying a pole and setting it up here at home. Natty will have to learn to pole dance. Earlier I was talking about Diwali! Well, let her do the pole dancing and I will have Di Willi waiting for she! Yeah, I think that some poledancing would make me happy right about now!

Anybody know where I can pick up a suitable pole?
