I knew you were the one long before I dared to believe it. There were times when I was afraid that I would wake up the next morning and find out that it was all a perfect dream.
How we began, and how well we fit together, has made me realise that there might be a higher being after all.
You are the one - no one else will do.

My Contribution to the Petition on CSE
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/parents_sex_ed_appeal/index.html
We must not allow young, malleable minds to think that homosexuality is normal, because:
1) no human is a product of homosexuality. this means homosexuality is not genetic, not a borne trait. Thus homosexuality is deviant.
2) as a small country, with natural population growth levels of concern, on a nationalistic level we should not encourage homosexuality, even if we do not penalise those who do so.
3) with a heterosexual majority, homosexuals will of course stand out. This may be perceived as being "cool" to confused children with low self-esteem and they may relate being homosexual with being different, outstanding, and thus popular - which might influence a child with no such tendencies turn gay just to get attention.
Warning: you need to pay minimum USD 2 to publish your signature.

Empathy
With the saga that's going on with AWARE, not that i'm anti-anti-gay, but i empathise with the 'old guard' who got unceremoniously booted from their own organisation.

Let's just say I know exactly how it feels. 'Traumatising' is one way to describe it. You feel betrayed, maybe a little like being dumped. The angry indignation that comes with injustice. The massive let-down that your hard work wasn't appreciated. The blindside that came just because you weren't chummy with the right people. And the silly arguments they used to justify them brushing you away. Most of all, the helplessness you feel when you can't do anything about it.
You feel hurt and angry - and walk out, wanting nothing to do with what you once loved so much. But over time you learn that the others too, are human. They make mistakes, and you learn to forgive. Of course it helps if they manage to show everyone else what idiots they are.
But you never forget.

6 Months
6 wonderful, estatic months full of you. Driving home from your place, I couldn't help but imagine how lonely and miserable I must have been without you - yet it seems so long ago that I can't even remember the person I was then. (I hope my frens can't too.)
The days without you are slow and monotonous. I become more productive and upbeat on workdays when I will see you in the evenings. yet time slips away so quickly while you are by my side.
Those 3 little words hold so much meaning - too many positive emotions course thru me that I can only condense my thoughts into these 3 little words, for fear my heart will burst with the intensity I feel, the intensity it all encompasses. And so, so grateful that you feel the same way.
Thank you, my love.

Sprint Aquathlon (750m Swim, 5km Run)
I think I may have overstrained my right calf ligament just behind my knee... have problems walking. other than that, I don't feel too tired.
I thought of a quote during the running leg, as I thought of overtaking the guy in front, and hearing heavy running steps from the guy behind.
"It's not against the guy in front or the guy behind. It's against the fat lazy arse inside screaming at you to get back into bed."
I heard him loud and clear at 6.30am that morning... really wanted to go back to bed. But what would my darling think of me then? Cannot disappoint her. So I had my breakfast and hopped into a cab. Was late but pleaded my way in.
During the warm up, saw that quite a few quite rookies like me. So that was good. The 1st part of the swimming had arms and legs everywhere. didn't help that the water was so murky, you wouldnt see the other guy until it was too late to avoid his elbows/feet/shoulders/hands. I just kept going and tried not to think too much about the distance / possibility-of-faggots-joining-this-for-a-feel. 22m 34s
Swam/ran out of the water to the transition area. I hate sand in my socks, so took me a while. In my rush, did not tie my shoelaces together as suggested by chel.
Soon after I started the run, kena calf cramp. took a while to go to the side and stretch + drink isotonic drinks... was fine but knee started to hurt, so went at a slightly lower pace. plus i was tired from the swim. the water and isotonics helped along the way. the heat didn't. 31m 35s
Not a good competitive result: 97th in my category, 421st male and 538th overall. but then my aim was to finish. I did, and got a cheapo 'bronze medal' for my efforts.
