Apoplectic Skeptic: two misused words →
leftyjenkins:
the words “terrorist” and “hero” are thrown around all the time, with no regard to their meanings.

Notes on Cyprus: Day 1
First things first, I call a place lovely if I spend time meeting lovely people. This is surely not the sole rule but lets say it’s rule no:1. Northern Cyprus got a huge CHECK in front of rule no:1. I might sound cliché and all but the people of Cyprus are truly made of awesome. This is coming from a person who has lived and experienced more than 8 years amongst Middle Eastern people.

No matter your personal faith or religious affiliation, I hope this holiday season is bringing each of you the very best memories and wishes fulfilled.
Please forgive my Jesus-centric timing, of course… I realize that not all faiths celebrate their mystical beginnings at the same time as the…

Notes on Cyprus
Pre-thoughts
Cyprus, a name that would make me think of 5 star all inc hotels and nightclubs. Was it like that? Nope, not even remotely close to that thought. Cyprus is special, different and by all means sophisticated. I had loads of WTF moments which actually were because of my lack of knowledge about the place. Excuse me but I’m not of those people who read every little detail of the place I’m...

Mirror...Glass
I never loved to look at myself in the mirror. Don’t get me wrong not that I hate my face. It’s like I feel the person I see in the mirror is a total stranger and I can’t face her. Instead I always love to watch my reflection in the glass. It’s always better after dark when all the lights of the nearby houses and the streets are flickering. Then I watch myself in the glass....

Things I have come to realize in the past few weeks..
Your heart can break when you least expect it to.
Your broken heart can break again before it’s even healed. And then again. And then some more.
Your heart can be broken by someone you never thought would break it.
You can’t make someone…

It is an age of wonders! Professor Luigi Nintendorium proudly presents his amazing and mind-boggling invention, which he has entitled the “Play Station.” Those afflicted with persistent melancholy and chronic listlessness need only gaze into the illuminated viewing-box while operating the toggle switches on the hand-held manipulator, and all feelings of woe will melt away in minutes!...

Hello again, friend of a friend
I knew you when
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip
Shape-shift and trick
The past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Light you up every time
Everyone, ooh
Pulls away, ooh
From you
