I woke up one morning this summer.....bleary eyed as usual...scratched da ole testicles(!...nt summin i do regularly).....gathered my thoughts...glanced at my watch....looked out onto the sun bathed daffodils on the street...and cried like there was no tomorrow.... For when I glanced into my watch and had a look at the "date" column( date as in the day of the month...not the other meanin ya opportunistic morons...wish i had one which did both tho...lol),what I saw shook me to the very foundation...the date read 17th of May 2007....my very last 6 months of school had begun..I also realized that this was my last official summer holiday..My mind immediately rewound to the summer of '06 and then '05 and then '04 and so and so forth stretching the extreme limits of my memory till it could recall no more..the net result...a lingering feeling of sadness and helplessness that I could do absolutely nothing about my predicament..Time you see...is much much more wonderful and powerful than any other trait of human life...It can heal..It can injure...It can enrich...It can infect...but it always moves on....People in distress normally refer to time as the Great Healer but I would prefer to describe it as a relentless,unswerving continuity...a continuity with which every sphere of our life is laced...a continuity from which there is no escape...no matter how famous you are ..or how much wealth you possess.
As I continued with my reverie I recalled all the good times I shared with my friends..how we became closer than brothers over the years...which made my mind fast forward to the heartbreakingly painful separation in 6 months time...Things will just never be the same...the companionship..the camradarie..the endless hours of phone conversations..overcoming the trials and tribulations of the teenage years...all the girls..all the legs...and blahhh....so much more...
Anyways thats all for now...more to come on the 17th of December 2007...watch this space..
