I've been looking in a mirror for so long
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side.
All the little pieces falling, shatter
Shards of me too sharp to put back together;
Too small to matter,
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces
If I try to touch her

'Breathe no more' by Evanescence

We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever

Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory

My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I will bleed forever

'Ghost love score' By Nightwish

Is it true what they say,
Are we too blind to find a way?
Fear of the unknown cloud our hearts today.
Come into my world,
See through my eyes.
Try to understand,
Don't want to lose what we have

We've been dreaming
But who can deny,
It's the best way of living
Between the truth and the lies

See who I am,
Break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,
This is not the end.

Coffee shop, where art thou?

I received some wonderful news recently that made me jump for joy - Starbucks, the megalomaniac coffee chain is finally disappearing from our high streets. I cannot express how happy this made me - particularly since McDonalds is taking their customers.

It goes without saying that coffee shops are so far reachingly middle class nowadays. As a hot chocolate fan myself, yes, I am more than a little biased on this matter, but it's always baffled me why even our smallest towns need more than one in a short radius.

My local town is a historic one, with a medieval market and lots of shops where my Dad went when he was a school boy. There's a miniature sweet shop on the corner, where we used to call on our journeys to and from college. There was only one shop we never explored - the one coffee shop in town, which day in, day out, was filled with what we called disapprovings, sipping their coffee.

All of a sudden, the historic shops began to disappear - a music shop that had survived since the 50s, in which my Dad bought his first CDs, disappeared in favour of a Costa Coffee - just three shops up from the 'disapprovings'. A couple of months later, they demolished the pizza hut in favour of another one. The final blow came at the end of my college year when a book shop fell victim to the foul stench of coffee.

There was a book shop in town - the kind where you can be lost for hours in winding bookshelves, in the midst of titles you have never seen before and will never seen again. It seems odd to me they reduced this shop to a meagre coffee shop; particularly since it had a tea shop on the premises in the first place.

Coffee shops have always been of great confusion to me, possibly because my folks live on the stuff and so biased I may be, but I can't help but confess that the news of Starbucks' imminent decline brought a very large smile to my face.

It's a Weird World

It's a strange world we live in.

In a bid to persuade my father to cut out the coupons for the classic costume drama DVDs free this past few weeks, there's been a lot of newspapers lying around. And since they were lying around, of course I had to read them.

I am disgusted by so called 'feminists' all but legalising murder, at the expense of the percentage of women genuinely abused. They paint a queer picture of women - victims, of evil men, who seek to use and abuse us. These women, though true in their original intentions are NOT feminists. Truth be told, they are the bottom of the feminist barrel. What kind of feminist would paint woman as inferior to men, when the point of the movement was to prove otherwise?

And otherwise, in our society, is so often the solemn truth. Though men are usually envisioned the violent sex, it is women nowadays who commit violent crimes. I read recently of a young woman, jailed for several years, who held down a woman her own age while her [male] friends sexually abused her. I'll never forget the time my aunt [several times beaten by her drunken husband] admitted to threatening to stab him whenever he was too violent.

My views on the matter are thus - one sex should never be greater than the other. We were created equal, and that is how we were intended to remain. All this talk of a female entirely cabinet is folly, it always was going to be - the point of the cabinet was to have a range of views from different stations (or at least it was supposed to be). A female entirely cabinet, though romantic, is completely irrational and unfounded. Women in modern day society ARE more violent than they were before, through alcohol and the 'ladette' culture.

It is true that women are becoming more boyish - to the point where it is affecting our personal lives. Now we women have the right to work alongside men, we have laid aside our femininity for the sake of a [lesser] wage. While we become more and more masculine, pushing off having children, getting married later and later in our lives, the higher ups have the brainwave to bring out cosmetics and [?] tights for men.

Am I the only one thinking huh?
