I’m back… it’s been months since I last gave my blog any attention.  I think I should be punished for that

I must say that it’s not easy thinking of something interesting to write on a daily basis, and it’s not always to say that I want to write about personal stuff either, so finding something generally proves to be difficult.

I hate writing about things other people have already written about.  I see no point to it as you might as well go and read that persons blog instead

I bring you all some interesting photography to enjoy as an apology for my extended absense.

Herewith… the EASTER collection

A big thanks to the guys over at PS3ZA for getting me into the GTA online thing.    With that comes the rhymes that get thrown around by the members of the GTA group, and boy oh boy are the guys talented with these rhymes.  You can check em out here

Anyway, so today I tried a rhyme, and it was so much fun I decided to try another.  But alas, my brain switched itself over to my poetry writing side, and I came up with this instead.

It was a dark and windy night,
Rain and wind pounding with all its might.
