VERDAGTES VAN DIE WIND

Ek wens ek was 'n klip.
Sodat ek nie hoef om te gee oor hierdie wereld se probleme nie.
Ek wens die see kon my vat en my rondgooi oor al die strande van die wereld.
Daar kan ek tussen ander klippe le en die nag in staar, sonder die dreigement van vordering en sukses.
Net ek en sy en die lang pad vorentoe.
Ek wens ek was die sand.
Onder die weskus-nag, langs haar lyf, soos sy sit en saggies huil.
En dan sing die sterre haar naam oor 'n duisend, duisend see's.
Ons hoor hul saam, soos hul op die branders brand.
Ek wens ek was die grond.
Dan kon ek altyd naby haar bly,
Ek en sy.

I Think, Therefore I am Confused...?

Greetings my fellow Confusioneers.
Anyone read this blog lately? Didn't think so.

Tsk-tsk-tsk. Kids today, I'll tell you...
No respect.

Back in my day, the good old days in 2007, people had the common decency to read the damn blog! I'm telling you, the youth is on a downward spiral! the whole 'Snowball effect'

It all starts with the parents. No basic moral background. before you know it, they're drinking coffee and listening to jazz! Pretty soon, we'll all be forced to face the horrible cosequences of our past actions.

I leave you to think about what you've created.

'till next time.


Peace out.

Late for the sky (Jackson browne)

The words had all been spoken
And somehow the feeling still wasnt right
And still we continued on through the night
Tracing our steps from the beginning
Until they vanished into the air
Trying to understand how our lives has led us there

Looking hard into your eyes
There was nobody Id ever known
Such an empty surprise to feel so alone

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they dont mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I dont know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

Awake again I cant pretend and I know Im alone
And close to the end of the feeling weve known

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
How long have I been dreaming I could make it right
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need

Awake again I cant pretend and I know Im alone
And close to the end of the feeling weve known

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
How long have I been running for that morning flight
Through the whispered promises and the changing light
Of the bed where we both lie
Late for the sky

TICKET TO THE MOON

Hier is waar die engelse* dit reg gekry het om iets reg te kry.
Dit is geskryf deur Jeff Lynne(ELO)

*Nie-Afrikaans sprekende engelsprekende.

Remember the good old 1980s?
When things were so uncomplicated?
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same.

Ive got a ticket to the moon
Ill be leaving here any day soon
Yeah, Ive got a ticket to the moon
But Id rather see the sunrise in your eyes.

Got a ticket to the moon
Ill be rising high above the earth so soon
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain
That gently falls upon your window
Youll never know.

Chorus:
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon)
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon)
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon).

Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright, oh, oh.

Flying high above
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here
Could turn around and I would see you there
Standing there (and I would see you there, waiting...)

Ticket to the moon
Flight leaves here today from satellite two
As the minutes go by, what should I do?
I paid the fare, what more can I say?
Its just one way (only one way)...

DIE AVONTURE VAN BADKAMERTEEL

Aah, die reen, soggens sag teen my my venster. Die winde wat aankondig dat die winter oppad is, is nie agressief soos ek hulle onthou het nie. Na so 'n somer kom hulle meer as 'n troos, singend in die naam van die kaggelvuur. Ek besef weereens dat die klein goed waarmee ek myself besig hou, nie regtig so baie saak maak soos wat ek dit laat voorkom nie. Oor dertig jaar van nou af, gaan ek weer so sit en nie ontou hoe my wiskundepunte my vakansie bederf het nie. Ek gaan wel dertig jaar se herinneringe he om die winter vir my bekend te maak. Oor dertig jaar van nou af groet die winter my weer soos 'n ou vriend, en dan probeer ons weer al die koue aande herleef. Langs die kaggelvuur, op die bank met my boek, die sterk geur van roosmaryn en lamsboud wat trots deur die kombuis parradeer en die meubelstukke omhels. Elke oomblik tel. Die reen sing haar deuntjie terwyl die donderweer in alt harmonieseer. Na die gesang skeur die wolk soos die son dit met daglig looi, en ek onthou uituindelik, wat die winter werklik vir my beteken.

DIE MIDDERNAGSESSIES

ja, ek weet, dis al lank na middernag, maar is dit nie altyd nie? Die klok slaan erens na wat lyk na laat en ek sit hier en babbel soos 'n dronk gek. Tevrede met my beperkde intelek, wat na 'n goeie nag se slaap hopelik weer sal herstel. Soos ek sit luister ek na al my pa se ou plate en raak dronk op filter koffie, te moeg om te slaap. As ek moes raai, sou die rede vir hierdie gedrag die absolute skoonheid van die vroulike spesie moes wees. Ek raai nie. Ek weet. Die skepper van die vrou moes 'n moerse sin van humor gehad het. Die arme man struikel al vanaf die begin van tyd agter hierdie bose, maar bliksems aantreklike, wese aan. Elke oomblik van haar absolute skoonheid maak my net meer broos. Gaan lees maar net Hooglied, besef dan opnuut waaroor hierdie wereld gaan, die teenoorgestelde geslag. In my geval is dit die meisies. O Hel, daai meisies.
En dit is hoekom ek hier sit en jou, my en almal wat hierdie inskrywing lees, se tyd mors. Sekere mense sal meen dat ek mal is. Hulle is reg. Maar so laat in die aand is ek trots daarop. Verskoon die spelfoute, ek gaan dit nie nou proeflees nie.

Tot waneer ek weer reguit kan dink, groete.
