Romance and Rhinos « One Man's Opinion Blog

Romance and Rhinos « One Man's Opinion Blog: I wrote the article below about 3 months ago. Considering what has happened since then I think I should have followed my head, not my heart! Speaking of which, I also followed my heart in a romantic sense, which was also a disaster of note. Firstly I believed I had a job that would take me many miles from my complicated girl. We had not seen each other for a month and I emailed her the details of the job. She then phoned and asked me to come stay with her until I had to leave. I did my public transport thing and we had a wonderful weekend together.

The LoversPlus Disaster « The Mexican's Lifestyle

The LoversPlus Disaster « The Mexican's Lifestyle: The evening started off well enough. My complicated girl and I went to an Art Show at UNISA Art Gallery. We got a lift from her ex-boyfriend, who was accompanied by a friend of his, a 69-year-old gay chap. (Let us not go there!) The art on display was not very nice as it was a series of sculptures made from dead animal bones, skulls and skins. The good part was the caterers had gone all out and the crowd was not as large as anticipated. The food was excellent and for a change they had Coke and not sickly sweet fruit juice as most openings do. The wine was bottled not box, so the other three were well content.

Just a common Soldier « One Man's Opinion Blog: Just a common Soldier
(A Soldier Died Today)
by A. Lawrence Vaincourt

He was getting
old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.
