When's the Season Gonna End?

Let's count the curses (as opposed to blessings) on why Liverpool Football Club is where it is this season. 1) Steven Gerrard has been off form. He's been a passenger, probably having the world cup on his mind and he's afraid to get injured, and not be able to travel to South Africa in June. 2) Xabi Alonso absence. The position and influence of Alonso have yet to be filled. Lucas is good but having to play in that position has inevitably brought out comparisons between him and Alonso. Alonso himself only shone after the Gareth Barry fiasco, which I blame Benitez for. Rafa could have handled the situation more subtly. 3)Rafael Benitez is not that creative. At the begining of this season, Sir Alex Ferguson predicted that Liverpool will not be a threat because "we already know how Liverpool play." Rafa in response said something like, this is football, there are only so many ways to play football.... 4) Bad management. Hicks and Gillette should take the blame, too, a

A Marriage

I’ve always shunned the company of humans Yet, there’s a basic need for procreation So I looked and believe I’ve found a woman Just perfect to bear my next generation A decade have passed and seven years From us have sprung a brood of four Many a happy times and many a tears At times I think we should’ve had more Then, there were times when my eyes wander Lusting after distractions, in one form or another To temptations of the flesh I wish to surrender To turn a deaf ear to my conscience’s whispers But, to hurt these people, I don’t fancy I can never hurt my children and wife Thus, my amoral deeds remain a fantasy Maybe I can indulge on it in my after life I love my family don’t get me wrong O, how they’ve grown, my little ones And, I pray this marriage will last my life long But, I swear I’ll not attempt marriage more than once...

Kartika and the Prince

Once upon a time, in a land where there was a law but not much enforcement, there lived a witch who thinks she was beautiful. She is not, of course, but some people took some pictures of her once, so she calls herself a part time model. One day, after doing some modelling, she and her friends went for a beer. But in this land witches are not supposed to drink beer. She has been doing it for so many times and for so long, that she never thought that one day she'll get caught. Well she did and the judge sentenced her to pay a fine and to be turned into a toad. She paid the fine and told the people of the land, she doesn't mind being a toad. However, the government of the land, although, have sentenced witches to become toads before, have never carried out such punishments. But, after being pressured by the people, they turned three witches into toads. All of these ex-witches were handed down the sentence a long-long time ago. Then, suddenly, for no particular reason at all, the p

My Goals - A siloliquy on a Sunday morn

Am I getting closer to my goals..... Not! There's the rub, for being gainly employed, what goals do you hope to achieve? How wonderful it is, I imagine to have a goal in life And finding yourself coming closer to achieving it as each day goes by. How good it must feel that you wake up in the morning and you cross yesterday as another rung you have climbed on your way up the ladder, bringing you closer to that which you yearn. What is my goal in life? I know not. To be wealthy, perhaps... but, that is not a goal. That is just a dream. And, like dreams, it dissipates the moment you awake and join the other goalless men on the highway of life. Dashing through another day of busying oneself, more often than not to please others, your boss, your investors, you financiers..... least of all yourself. The pleasing of others, a habit so ingrained in me, that I have become nothing more than a mongrel, that longs only for a compliment or a pat on the back, an acknowledgement of my efforts. A
