Away from Cities

i've been "home" two weeks now, and the quietness is getting to me. i walk to find busy streets and congested intersections just to hear cars. a construction site next to a park should set me wrong, but i'm used to green spaces tempered with the reminders of what surrounds it.

it's a nice break but i want to get back to the noise.

I'll going to bed.

my friends lived on a small holding in north yorkshire for a while and i used to visit a lot. we would go to sheffield on day trips and get culture shock even after a few days. once we went to barnsley and there was this new bar boasting 'cappucino' and 'espresso', you know, proper coffe, like you might get in a real town, not mellow birds. so we ordered some. it was a mistake

My Lion Has Got No Nose


Take a close look at the lion on the right. He is missing his nose. Poor bugger. These lions are attached to this building (the filthy windows mar the view a bit): I was on the 13th floor of a building on...
