Hmmmm?
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
We all know this heres the poem
The Hollow Men
T. S. Eliot
Mistah Kurtz—he dead.
A penny for the Old Guy
I
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death’s other Kingdom
Remember us—if at all—not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
II
Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In death’s dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind’s singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.
Let me be no nearer
In death’s dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat’s coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer—
Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom
III
This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man’s hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.
Is it like this
In death’s other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.
IV
The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river
Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death’s twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.
V
Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o’clock in the morning.
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long
Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

The Movie?

So here we go
Well this is likely to be an interesting segment of my life. Im off to the states for 2 weeks odd to meet Karen a lady I have been corresponding with for 8 months. The obvious question no we didn’t meet on a dating site That’s actually kind of important to me as it feels a more natural like in the old days when you went to a club and you meet people with mutual interest not throwing a damper on dating sites I think I heard somewhere that will be the future of a lot of hook ups.
So anyway should one feel apprehensive on meeting someone that you have been talking to for 8 months but have not physically meet. I suppose it depends on what one expectations of the future are that come from the meeting.At the moment as I sit comfortable in the koru lounge at Auckland awaiting my flight to San Francisco I am incredible relaxed lets see how I am 10 mins out of New York LOL

The trip is to the States, and as we all know that's the most expensive destination for travel insurance.
The price difference I found between the different companies was astounding!.
I'm sure each of the different companies policies will suggest there's is that much better but for me when it came down to it I basically was only interested in the medical cover and public liability.
For this i could have paid nearly $500! for 17days or what I ended up paying $69!
So if you cant be bothered to shop around try 1Cover I found the best value with them.
