One last final thought before
i depart

God help me

I never in life believed in you

But please forgive me

Let me in

And please look after me

For i did not know what i did

And promise i will abode in
future

Have learned my lesson 

And will leave and forego all
of my selfish ways if you are
willing to let me

Whilst simultaneously firmly 
pressed fingers crossed
behind me just incase

To hedge my bets

You are not willing to accept me

And i am left stuck in purgatory

With the lift in need of 
repair and out of order and 
the stairwell is firmly locked
shut chained up

So i can't go up or go down either
way

And that's my final thought


Ferocious Oflaherty Wild Atlantic Way

Why this is my tale

Of my family tree and roots 

The what and where

My Gaelic Celtic 

Surname origins came

Straight out of my Liverpool home 

Retracing my heritage right back to 

The emerald island of Eire 

Galway Bay

And the Wild Atlantic Way

Which paved the way 

Where the

Ferocious O'Flaherty

Clan initially began and surname came

To Aughnanure Castle

On the shores of the Drimneen river

Where I myself have never previously been

Which I aim to put right and address

Because as they say and it's said

In order to know where you are going

You need at 1st to know 

There fom whence you came

If no other reason

Apart from maybe just incase

In death you may well be returned

Indexed alphabetically under ones surname

Mine begining with the letter

" F '"

Moto and Meaning 

Fortune Favors the Brave

Bright Rulers

Ferocious in both

Spirit and namesake

Dear Diary Entry Page 13

Dear Diary

I know because I have been forewarned 

That when my name is brought up
and I am mentioned and 
referenced in certain other people's
 company

Some people choose to refer to me as
isn't he funny but not meant as or
to be complimentary 

But rather as they think I am joke and
meant to be a poke

Which only serves to prove to me I
am exactly where I am supposed to
and wish to be 

Because if they spoke of me or held
me in high regard or thought we held
similar opinions or points of view

Then I fear I would have to take a
long hard look at myself and revaluate 
who I think and believe I am

The type of person who much prefer
to gossip about other people when
they are soundly out of earshot behind
their back's 

Who wouldn't dare spout anything but
praise if standing right in front of them
whilst simultaneously avoiding all forms
of eye contact just incase they see the
white's or color of their eyes

So Dear Diary please promise me that
you will never to constantly remind me 
every time I decide to make a fresh entry

To remind me that life is not a popularity
contest based solely upon good looks an
alarming lack of intelligence or morals
and character

But rather being able to look oneself 
in the eye and being able to sleep at night

So gladly please feel free to poke away
and think of me as joke it's merely 
water off a duck's back to me 

And ditto same , same here , here right
back at you

I think you're funnier than I am or could
ever be difference being 

I am actually trying to be which
is ironic because sadly you aren't

Sell Me Less, Tell Me More

color pickets 
match the days away
when hours fade
there's no feel left to persuade

you know more than me
that you do 
But i know who it is 
beneath the scars
the fancy lights 
the impervious dark

no matter what your poetry says
it's undone
and your songs will sing themselves 
unfinished
until they become desperate enough
to turn to vinyl plagues

and if you were to feel contagious
i guess i could move you along
and if you were to feel contagious
I guess i could shoot you a call

no sense in wishing 
what you cannot say
i kiss you well
curse me
your days of hell

to see your thoughts unshelved
is a catalog i've wanted less
sidewalks and broken bones
unskin your knees
the little fees 
that bring about such doubt

color pickets 
match the days away
i'm holding on to
all i've ever known
little thoughts of you
incase you move along

and if you were to feel contagious
i guess i could move you along
and if you were to feel contagious
I guess i could shoot you a call
move along now
move along

Things I Shoud never tell my coach

When the team was supposed to be resting for the next game in the Regional Championships.  We rented e scooters to make our trip worth it  
The feeling of the torn off handle bar slamming against my palm as I jump the curb with a 30lbs hunk of metal. 
Two wheeled vehicles becoming the staple of our extracurricular endeavors.

Some afternoons we even got our assistant coach to go on rides with us incase we ever needed an alibi down the road 
Boba and Smoothie shops were his go to. 
Until our starting midfielder tried to do a wheelie with our acai bowls losing two in the process

When we were supposed to be resting for the next game in the National Championship
One night we while trying to network ourselves to colleges we ended up at a Boise State dorm
Trying to explain to local students that we couldn't join them in going to the frat next door was very challenging at the time 

In the early morning we went on a joyride to eventually be chased by local security guards after passing them at an unreasonable speed 
Bangin up our starting defenders knee in the process 

The night after winning said tournament 
We went to the market to get snacks 
Only to decide to host a poker tournament in of our hotel rooms with the team nextdoor 
Lets just say the night ended with more I owe you’s than big winners

Premium Member Trying To Mediate Troubles Between Zee and Dee

Zee and Dee could not get along for two seconds in class.
The teacher was hanging off a cliff by her worn down teeth.
I said I would try to figure it out.

Zee was super angry with Dee.
He could not stop yelling about it.
Dee and Zee came into my room together.

Dee casually mentioned they are brothers.
Zee is angry because ten months ago, his mother sent him away.
And she kept Dee.

I have a feeling this is not something a school counselor can solve.
I asked permission to tell their teacher they are brothers.
They were adamantly opposed to this.
No idea why
But I am keeping my mouth shut,
so, I can learn more
incase there is a next time.

An Encounter of the Fourth Kind

Last night a great heaviness
fell through the roof
dropping like a boat anchor into my dreaming mind.

It was sentient,
a being as hard as steel and massively stupid.
I felt its dumb confusion, its awkward alarm,
I winced as it lumbered around my head-space
crashing into my own startled thoughts
though I realized on some level of awareness
that I was still living in a bad dream.

The brutishly bulky being wanted answers,
I wanted answers, the dream had no answers.
Eventually that solid hulking creature gave up
turning my inner-state over and smashing
my neuronal workings over its big stony head.

Oblivion took us both.

When daylight unveiled the long night
I looked about me
the bedroom was not ransacked
but my brain was blinking on ‘check engine’ light,
and something was still asleep
on the backseat of my mind.

Tonight I will take a strong drink and 2 Ambien
incase its guttural snoring, or its chaotic dreams
wakes me up again.

Premium Member Brix is Beautiful

"There is unimaginable beauty in his reaction when he sees you, even if it is the twentieth time today. " The Poet.

Is it possible to see any sight more beautiful that this ?
Do glance again incase there is some feature you may miss.
The smooth sleek wrinkles over his nose. 
The gesture of alertness as he strikes a pose.
His handsome head firmly rests on the ground.
Such elegance and poise simply abound.
The epitome of beauty and regal charm.
The mere sight of him makes me feel warm and calm. 
Having such beauty roaming the house is a delight.
His soft gentle eyes, follow me from morning til night.
It's so easy to love a creature as beautiful as this.
A privilege to be honoured by his special doggy kiss.
Our daughter doesn't behold him in the same light.
Without the same vision, her perception isn't right.
She lives far away - doesn't live here with us.
She says, about our beautiful Brix while making a fuss:
He looks like he had a head on collision with a bus.
Age is giving him a debonair, distinguished touch of grey.
He enjoys his beauty sleep most of the day.
Apart from the sound of a cheese wrapper he has few interferences,
So he can spend his time keeping up his pristine appearances. 
He has always been a rare beauty, even now that he is older.
So its hard to believe that beauty is only in the eye of the beholder.

Slam Synchronized Olympics Diving Injustice Slam

Watching the Olympics news
coverage today

Sadly this is the conclusion 
i came to afterwards

Our British male duo won gold 
in the synchronized diving event

Brilliant yes of course an 
unbelievable achievent

But given more than any other
sport the clue being in the name

It should be equal appreciation
and praise for each as without
the other winning is simply
an impossibility

So how come then i know who
Tom Daley is but don't even know
his diving partner's name

Maybe that's because he was
made to appear or seem
totally irrelevant by the media
news coverage

After the pair won they cut to
Tom Daleys family his mother
husband and their baby

Then we see Tom being
interviewed , Tom singular 
on his own fielding questions
mostly regarding his personal
life and sexual preference

And thanking the LGBT
community for all there support

Exactly what that has to do
with diving i hold my hands
up i do not know admittedly
i am no expert on the subject

But personally for me what
i found was the real kick in 
the teeth smack in the face

As i for 1 absolutely love and
breathe sport the gift the ability
the dedication the sacrifice

Was how it was constantly
infered it was only Tom's 
dream since he was a young 
child to win a gold medal

Again personally and only
to me what i seen goes against
the very ethos and ideology
of  what the Olympics itself
stands for

I felt so sorry for him and his
family as Tom family husband
and child got more coverage
than he did

I tried to put myself
in his or his family shoes
and tried to wonder

How they must have felt having
their joy pride stolen and cheated
from them

Reduced merely to a bit part
or side show to the main event

And again i protest because
the clue is in the name

Synchronized Diving a duo
a pair a partnership a team

1 simply can not without
the aid of the other 1 win

So tell me where on earth
is the justice and sportsmanship 
to be found here

And his name by the way
just incase you missed it
or care is

Matty Lee and he to also 
wanted to be and win a
gold medal

And was just as dedicated
and trained just as hard in
order to achieve and make both
theirs dream a reality

Rather than as the press and
media barely refer to him as

Tom Daleys diving partner
or the other guy

Box Set Bingeing

When it comes to

What my definition is

Of a good night in

Which and what

Box Sets I want to binge on

These are my preferred favorite's

Placed in no particular order

Boxes of

Beer

Cigarettes

Take-away

Chocolate

Sweet's

Chip's

Painkillers to quell the morning hangover
bound to follow tonight's festivities

Doggy treat's to keep my furry best
friend mutt quiet

Because he deserves a treat as much
as I do

Bacon , sausage all things greasy 
full English breakfast ingredients

To soak up all the booze settle my
stomach and make me feel 
half human hopefully again

Box of tissues to wipe the dribble
and sick away from my mouth

And also use to clean up whatever I spill 
mess I make and leave behind in my wake

And finally the most important box
of all

A box containing my last will and testament
and a fire extinguisher

Just incase I die before I wake

And the certain someone sent to rescue me 

They themselves do in fact on the odd
occasion smoke as well

Inadvertently strike up a cigarette to
calm their shaking nerves

Then need a fire extinguisher to put the
flames and me out

Because although I may be long 
dead passed on my final breath

I am still 100,% proof here in spirit form

Just as explosive or combustible

As a Box of say

Fireworks

Or

Dynamite
