It was just a matter of time before the engine continuously running at top speed on the very, very long straight finally showed signs of giving out. While the momentum might still carry you across the finish line, you wonder if you can manage to get out of the ailing car in time before the entire piece of machinery blows up in a glorious burst of flames.
If you succeed in doing so, you might yet get that trophy on the podium.
But while you may have won the race, you realize the championship's only just begun and you don't have a functioning car to compete for the rest of the season.
Maybe I shouldn't push too hard.
I'm really tired...

Romance is not always the same as love...
Love at first sight?
Well, I reckon you need glasses.
Swept off your feet?
Well, I was mopping the floor.
Head over heels?
Well, I didn't mean to trip you.
You're the air that I breathe?
Well, I think I just farted.
Heart pounding faster?
Well, I told you to exercise.
Can't live without you?
Well, I hope you won't die then.
Miss you like crazy?
Well, I've always guessed you were nuts!
Darling, I love you?
Well, actually....
Me too.

Check, raise or fold?
Life's not easy, life is hard,
Life is like a game of cards.
Think you have the better hand?
Double your bet? well, you sure can!
When the flop finally comes out,
You'll find out this game's a rout.
Lost your money and your pride,
Leaves you naked, nowhere to hide.

Recipe for a good picture (and the end to a weekend trip of trying to be poetic...)
One part heart and one part soul,
One part more that no one knows.
Trust your feelings and your senses,
Mix it up and pass through lenses.
Not of that which makes a sound - *click*
But that which tears flow when you frown.
And if all that just doesn't work,
My advice? You think it's quirk.
Delete the pictures you just took,
And just sit down and read this book!

Trying to write a sonnet but not quite succeeding...
The forecast is gloomy,
The outlook looks bleak,
God set out to screw me,
He knew I was weak!
I could've succeeded,
But I was denied.
Advice I had heeded,
Turned out to be lies!
The spirit of kindness,
To love and to share,
Took advantage of blindness,
Hopes turned to despair!
So may I ask God, "What plan hath thou hatched?"
In order to get my poor lonely heart patched.

Love is a funny feeling...
From whence it came, from whence it'll part,
Deep within the bowels of our hearts.
It makes its journey through our veins,
Bring joy ,sorrow, lust and pain.
Perhaps I'll find it yet sometime,
Maybe I'll finally make up my mind.
But then again I'm just afraid,
There won't be much left to be said.

To friends, to friends, to friends everywhere!
Oh dear, how life is full of surprises,
As failure mounts, therein hope rises.
Praying for life to change for better,
Only to find more stormy weather.
The journey may seem a bumpy ride,
That eats your soul, and wounds your pride.
But on the way, you will find friends,
Who'll help you make it around the bend.
They'll lift you up, and help you out,
So when you're drowning, remember to shout!
For those that come in times of need,
You won't need to beg, you won't need to plead.
But when your life finally falls into place,
Forget not your friends, not a name nor a face.
For friends are what makes life's journey worthwhile,
When you're wrinkly old, or still just a child.
So to friends, to friends, to friends everywhere,
I'll cherish the moments and memories we've shared!

Random contemplations...
Did Dutch women gain gender equity sooner because they could kick men in the groin with wooden shoes?

I'm drunk, of course...
I have to admit that while the past few weeks have really been physically and mentally tiring, it's also been extremely good overall. I'm part of the team dealing with an issue that's much bigger than I am, and so far have done a good job on it (at least I hope so). Job satisfaction has been good, especially getting recognition from the big boss and some co-workers.
And I've met some great women over the past few weeks, though all unavailable so far. But it gives me hope that the kind of girls I like do exist and are not as rare I thought they would be.
