Art

Listen and you might hear it 
Look and you might see it
Blink and you will miss it
Move and you will pass it
Speak and you won't hear it
Think and you won’t perceive it
Thats art can’t you feel it
That is the nature of art

The Bulls Horn

...turtles all the way down,

But the last big one was balancing on one side of the horns of a big bull.

The interesting thing is what was on the other side of the bulls horn!

A Mechanical Orgasm

I find great satisfaction in watching a well constructed machine while it performs it mechanical dance of cog and gear as it turns and twirls to slot in gear after gear ever so precisely and with a reassuring mechanical certainty their is nothing sweeter than the sound it produces it’s music to my ears.

This love of all mechanical moving parts extends to cars and other automotive instruments of the mechanical kind, watches, camera lenses, and any other mechanical device elaborately constructed with meticulous relentless passion and scrupulous conscientious design.

Holding a well constructed piece of machinery in my hand, observing the mechanical movement of it’s parts as they perform the magical dance of it’s purpose, regardless of the reason of it’s use, mundane or otherwise, it still remains an object of fascination of mine.

Sometimes even looking at a drawing or diagram of a mechanical device, discovering the genius of it’s design, simple or intricate, that alone is enough for me to go into a state of higher consciousness, as the little hairs at the back of my nick stand on end, and shivers go up and down my spine, call it a mechanical orgasm, shall we.

Young Men Do Rise

Young men do rise
lift your voice, fill the skies
Let the UAE’s name ring
As you, the young, are aspiring
To show the world your ingenuity
Let them marvel at your creativity
While you dazzle them with artistry
The UAE’s young and their ability
While your sports shall be seen
On the ever echoing Green
Horse racing, golf, football and polo
Our youth are winners in a team or solo
Under pressure their spirits are always high
As they will always reach for the sky
From now until forevermore
Our youth will forever soar
Among strong nations far and wide
And always be full of pride

An Aficionado, ad absurdum

I am, Mon amour, an aficionado to your charm
I am, Mon trésor, an aficionado ad absurdum
I am, Mon coeur, an aficionado ad infinitum
I am, Mon ange, an aficionado ad nauseam

Eu te amo, eu te adore ad absurdum
mi vida, mi amor, ad infinitum
Zuckerbienchen, Knutschipuh, ad nauseam
Ich liebe dich, not just bona fide beau geste, but ad infinitum

Meu bem, gato, mot juste, sui generis
Ma poupee, I love you, ad absurdum
Ma cherie, I need you, ad infinitum
Ma belie, I want you, ad nauseam

Verboten, our love might be
although, anathema and taboo
It is the product of our weltschmerz
Zeitgeist and Tout le monde, listen
in sotto voce I declare
this is the vox populi
my love for you will never die
as long as it’s spoken in the tongues of the people
