She's the colour of amber tea
Though twice as sweet to me
The girl i hold dear
and always long to see.

She roams like Ulysses
owns the many seas
and makes me feel freer
than i ever dreamed to be.

Ants

In life we are like ants, born onto a grassy field of an enormous and some uncomprehensible magnitude. Within this field our goals and objectives that we strive to achieve are placed at random destinations. Some of us are born within easy walking distance of these goals and objectives (those who go to private schools), whilst the majority of us unfortunate ones have further to travel, along ardous routes. It is not, however, just our goals and objectives that are placed on the field, there are a greater number of obstacles and distractions in this field (which we term drugs, beer, fatty foods, entertainment) that we are often held back by.

As each ant slowly travels through this field, getting nowhere fast, they have to choose each blade of grass ever so carefully (choosing one blade of grass will open up different avenues to the one next to it and at the same time burn bridges to goals that the next blade would illuminate). This decision is often hard when we ants don't have a helicopter view of the field and our destinations and goals are not clearly visible. There is no magic line which leads us on our journey.

I desire to gain a greater understanding of what influences our choices when travelling from one blade of grass to another and how people are held back by or conquer the distractions along the way. To this end i one day dream of travelling the world and interviewing fellow ants with questions aimed at discovering these truths. Hopefully with my girlfriend nina! who can illustrate our journey.
