please wash away
the second continental obligation 
meeting clothes differ
discover the belly of a convict

equip him to jump
the problem reporter wheel
a memorial contempt
wriggle, tread, soar to the satellite

flag the marketing cheat 
with a handy provincial farewell
proud, talented prince
channel his major worry, and relate

the flow of the hierarchy
dominates his college 
and turns heaven difficult
and into an admiration of an aluminium attic

remind them of the rock
of grounds grandfather wrestled for
scream off the myths
roar for victory
small traits

Paris: Cinquième Partie

The rest of my seven-and-a-half hour tour of Paris was like a whirlwind trip to wonderland with a little bit of a suspense-horror vibe going on. Why, you might ask? Well, I arrived from Maastricht at around four in the afternoon. The sun was getting low and the darkness of the cold mid-winter night in the French capital was slowly creeping in. So, after about 30 to 45 minutes of just being mesmerized by the Eiffel Tower and its peripherals, I proceeded with my self-made itinerary, using the river Seine as my main point of reference. On my list of spots to briefly visit and take pictures of (and with) were the Louvre , Cathedrale Notre-Dame , Champ Elysees , and the Arc de Triomphe ... all of which I crammed into my walking tour. I make it first to the Louvre after Tour Eiffel. The museum was already closed, but I wasn't really there to see its interiors; I was after its very interesting external architecture. Perhaps I came at the right time of the day because both of th...

There are certain things about my life that I have chosen to willingly make public through social media and actual social interactions with the people in and around the periphery of my life. These aspects about me that I have decided to share online and in conversations are pieces of who I am that I want to put out there so that people -- with varying degrees of closeness to me and with different access to my life -- can get the right information  about me and form their opinions of me based on facts that come 'straight from the horse's mouth' . If you get to see content about my travel adventures (locally and internationally), it means I've given you access to that part of my life. You can talk about it as openly as you want, because I have shared it as openly as I want. If you come across a social media post or if I casually talked to you about my love for either Switchfoot or Jars of Clay, it means you've been allowed to peek into and speak into that ...
