Your eyes to me are like diamonds,
They tricked me, seduced me to play.
I didn't know then, that i couldn't afford them,
Now i'm drowning, can't help it, please stay.
My sea is swelling, no use in yelling,
The dept in my soul, its arranged.
For i have to pay, but i don't have the money,
My soul has no choice, i'm engaged.
And all for the sin of our skin, in a one-night inn-
It sealed the contract of your twinkling eyes.
Those eyes seduced me, your mind, it threw me,
I'm drowning, can't help it, please stay.
My armageddon, it's coming,
The Devil, he's near,
Your breath is stirring the lairs of my mind.
I'm drowning in a concept of diamonds,
My thoughts are converging,
Lost in the labrynth of my head.
My sea is swelling, those concepts are dwelling,
I'm drowning, can't help it, please stay.
I remember the way,
Your stare, it burnt my face.
You glazed into my avalance,
And it tumbled away for you.
But it's all in my head, don't forget.
It's my bead, my diamonds, my dreams and my eyes.
I see what I see and that brings me to be,
In a sea of your twinkling eyes.

THE TRAGEDY
I was listening to 96.1 last night, and i heard a very frustrating statistic: 80% of men cheat in relationships and 68% of women cheat!
What is the world coming to? With statistics like that people will just think it has become the norm to cheat on their partner. Even mentioning that statistic would make people reluctant to trust their partners and it would just turn us into a paranoid society, as we would already assume that our partner is a cheater. You could look on the bright side of life, however, and stop to consider that your partner consists of the 20-30% of partners that are loyal..BUT does that frustratung little gut feeling of yours make you feel like your living in denial? Is he really working late? Is he really just going out for drinks with the boys? There are a haunting number of stories circulating of deceivingly 'perfect' relationships that are really absolute nightmares.
If we believe that the whole world is cheating on us, would we return the favour and cheat on them too? Will our relationships just turn into one big cycle of cheating? Will our future society rule out the whole concept of marriage?
Elliot Spitster, Governor of New York, was recently caught cheating on his wife with a highly paid sex worker, and his wife is still publicly standing by him. Does this mean we are supposed to stand by our partners no matter what or does it mean that cheating is perfectly OK in today's modern age?
The news last week featured a group of mature women critisizing the men's magazine, "ZOO", for pubishing a "Win a Divorce" competition. This just shows how the ideology of relationships has dramatically altered.. 20 years ago, the idea of winning a divorce would be outrageously controversial, but in today's society this could be seen as a practical idea because the economical barriers partners face when considering a divorce can be overwhelming.

Moving Out!
I had the most marvelous week last week when I was given five days to move out of my apartment! My room mate decided to make a deal with a marketer from Realty Excelsior, whom i have now grown to strongly dislike. I met the guy a few weeks ago and he asked me if i wanted to be in a Bollywood film. Who could turn down a bolly? i was extremely excited to be in a movie ... up until a last week when i asked this guy about it and he not only told me that he gave the role to another girl but that he wanted to sell my 6-month old apartment to someone else! Asshole. Anyway...... at least now i have discovered that uni, work, and moving out don't mix. By the end of the week i had missed two uni classes and i found out how little sleep does absolutely nothing for my complexion.
I really needed to get this marketer back for making my life a living hell. All week i was scheming away and i finally did something on Tuesday. I parked in the guy's parking spot in the garage downstairs even though he has multiple signs up warning residents not to. Tuesday evening, i get a knock on the door, and guess who it is? Mr Realty Excelsior Marketer ADVISING me not to park in his spot again. I smiled mischeveously at him and said, "sure, not a problem" and then shut the door in his face. It was a small triumph, but a triumph nonetheless.
