Down and Out

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

November 15th shall always remain etched in memory as a stark remainder for what could ve been almost my self destruction almost..

Caught in the middle of English channel?!

As the d-day beckons nearer and nearer,am faced in tis dilemma of my own which is routin whom at the WC.Traditionally my support has always been wid the les bleus which still has not waned with their performances..Though am not sort of a vacillating kind..4 the last coupla yrs watchin english players from close quarters has brought them even closer to my heart..this sudden change has even surprised me since not long ago i remember clearly cheerin the french all the way in 2-1 win over the English inspired by zizou heroics in the dyin moments of Euro '04 game.., i must say though am followin the intl friendlies of both nations with equal fervour only an encounter between the two at some stage of the finals will settle beyond doubt who has the edge coz i ll be forced to take sides..currently though it looks as if am caught in a storm in the middle of English Channel in a boat tat can sail either way as it subsides and things become apparent again (def its not goin to capsize!!)
The signs r ominous as regards italian football,a cloud of controversy is hangin over ready to explode once the WC ends ,FIFA and UEFA hav no doubt wid intentions of savin the tournament decided to keep a low profile of the issue tat threatens to rock very structure of the game..for long the chiefs of italian clubs hav been accused of buyin and threatenin referees,fixin matches and each time they've been brought under the scanner they ve come out unscathed one such recent houdini act bein staged by Juventus in the light of the drug allegation tat had such prominent names as del piero involved..u can as well equate the italian heads to modern mafia dons..the recent fixing charges only highlights their flagrant turpitude...if finally some justice and fair-play mark the UEFA hearin that has hitherto been absent then the 3 leadin clubs of italy in milan,inter and juventus may well b relegated and a quick procession of stars leavin will b inevitable .. i suspect the move of shevchenko to chelsea has more to it than a mere 'lookin for challenge' remark..its only the tip of the iceberg tat has been revealed and we r likely to see and hear more in the followin months..it doesn't augur well for the future of football at all.

MESSIAH OF NEW AGE BLOGS

hi fellas,so finally i find my urges get the better of me in this battle of 'starting my own blog' this decision as late as it has come is definitely not 'inspired' by the thousands of blogs floating in the web,on the contrary its a decision seriously induced by 'the pathetic contents' forced to ur reading in the name of blogs..ya i can't help it but feel real sorry for the entire lot of blogging community and its current readership..most of them suck. my columns will b unlike most, in the way tat it will totally bank on the concept of 'responsible writing', that is there will b no or infrequent references to the false groodies of some page3 actress or to the skirt lengths of a hot tennis pro or to the affairs of some distant celebrity vecks(pardon me for the Nadsat here) or such thing as trivial as tat,and most pathetic of 'em all the high concentration of narcissism prevalent in most posts shall b kept to a readable minimum.. i still say 'infrequent references'coz i may suffer temporary bouts of perverse mood swings wherein my writing may get distracted.
me being a sport afficionado u can expect plenty of sports strewn around in my columns and many even dedicated solely to sports ..though most shall contain my frank views from a neutal point.. yet i must warn u beforehand against trusting the veracity of those articles which bear the name of 'Gunners' or 'Arsenal FC' which can be highly partisan sometimes even to insane or ridiculous proportions.
i promise u tat i will strive to honour my commitments stated above by churning out only responsible contents and it is upto u to make tis exercise a success by ur support..now please make way and welcome the 'MESSIAH of new age blogging' which is ur YOUR HUMBLE NARRATOR
