Lately, I've been involved in encounters with various, shall we say, undesirables. While on one hand, it's good to see them and know that they're doing well and are alive and kicking, on the other hand, I find myself leaving these same encounters with a very bitter taste in my mouth. It is most unfortunate, I find, that Singapore happens to be such a small place. One truly can run but not hide. One of these very individuals just happens to live very close to me and while I am not about to disclose his identity, I can categorically state that he is a cynical fat c**t (this I leave to your imagination) whose presence really annoys me. The things he says annoy me even more but lest I get carried away, I shall hasten to draw your attention to an even more pressing problem; that of my newly-discovered short-temper. It's really strange but nowadays, the slightest thing can cause said temper to flare up and my mood to change completely. I used to be a really easy-going chap (and still try to be) but I find myself getting so easily upset these days that it's getting a bit scary. A simple word can cause me to see red, my heartbeat to increase a thousandfold, my fists to clench, my paranoia to kick in and the urge to hit something, well, that's the scary part....I just feel like I need to break s**t. I've been pretty good so far but I'm just afraid that one day, if somebody provokes me (unintentionally or otherwise), I might end up doing something I regret. In the mean time, I'm hoping that my plan to exercise helps (healthy body, healthy mind??). Oh well, let's leave you all with today's

Poem of the Day:

Imperfections

I'm navy blue,
I'm downcast, darling,
I'm missing you.
I'm nervous, sweetheart,
Unable,
To do anything,
Without you.
I'm trembling now,
Can't face my fears,
Might have a beer,
To calm my tears,
As they come spilling down,
Away from me,
So far from you,
These tears you've caused.
I wish I didn't feel so lost.
