Questionable taste in men

Posted on 16 April 2009 by kyknoord

Exciting prizes to be won if you can find these on my Flickr stream
This slight departure from the norm is in honour of the fact that Dolce and I have been together for a year. Perhaps it would be more precise to say “an item” rather than “together”, since we’re actually in different hemispheres at the moment+, but I think you get the gist of it.

So what’s it like dating a demon? To paraphrase Lou Reed – she makes me forget myself. Extrapolating Perfect Day to twelve months should give you an inkling of what I’m on about. Still confused? Okay, to put it another way – it’s fuckin’ awesome, man!

Happy anniversary, schveetie.

+ Any suggestions that this may be a contributing factor to our continued itemhood will be met with dire retribution. You have been warned!

Congratulations to both of you! It’s no less than either of you deserve. Kyk I know you are a honey and Bete tells me that Dolce is a fantastic lady so together you must make a dynamite pair. Although I have also heard that the expression “get a room dammit” applies to the two of you very often.

A song for the both of youz … Rush

To be the first in someone’s life
To set the sun and raise the moon
In someone else’s eyes
To see heaven just for a day
To hold a moment in your arms
And never let it slip away
To leap off a mountaintop

And feel the rush of love
To taste that holy kiss
I could never get enough of this
This rush

To touch the earth before you fall
To know that here and now with you
Remains forever after all
To hear the beauty in dissonance
To finally know that all our questions
Take perfect sense
To touch the surface and breathe the air

To be the first in someone’s life
To set the sun in someone’s eyes
To hold forever for a day
And never let it slip away

To be the first in someone’s life
To set the sun and raise the moon
In someone else’s eyes

=^..^=
Maybeez you could sing it to your Schveetie!
