I Love you Mummy.I love Swansea, a lovely city by the sea, in the friendly country of Wales.
This year it is the 50th anniversary since the Gower penisular is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to be preserved and admired.
I've been there many times, in all conditions and seasons since i first arrived here in sept 2003. Every visit reminds me that i'm living in a calendar picture, the ones that when i was a kid i thought i will never see.
I'd like to share many pictures with any reader that visits, the beauty of Gower.
1. BBC's picture of gower
2. My pictures thru the years.
u can see all these thru-out this posting. Enjoy!
This picture on the left and above was taken during my first visit, it is still the best visit so far. perfect in every way. The left picture is a cliff taken from another cliff, the friend that took that photo took a really long walk to take it.
notice how small the people compared to the cliffs.
The following picture was taken during the Easter period of 2004. I think this picture represents my appearance and my inner-state-of-mind during that period. Its Art. that year i had a pony tail, almost always with a black UWS hoodie, favourite shoe that my parents bought me, and my companion slingback full, complete with my hands in pockets. This picture was taken without me knowing, thanks to ZM for such a good picture.
The stories moves on and i still visit it a few times more after, the most memorable visit after these would be the time my lovely girlfriend visit me on december 2005. We braced the wintry weather, pet the sheep and despite the cold we enjoyed our time, love is truely wonderful.
this came at random into my thoughts...
"As a member, a double-crosser is a traitor; As a leader, a double-crosser is an resourceful artist"
If i'm to publish a book, this will be a chapter under the title Dark Art.
Today...could be another normal day, however it did not.
By not being specific, a person's gesture made me think i have found another good friend, and that made my day. I've overcame my mentality barrier, to put it simply, and i like that feeling.
its another normal day after all, so i'll keep my calm and mojo, be cool, i'm a dude.
England Football Team Manager Sven Goran Eriksson had chosen Theo Wallcott as part of the squat to the world cup 2006 in germany,
he said: 'Maybe it is my biggest, bravest, boldest gamble. It is a bit of a gamble." (click here for full video of the press conference-13minutes)
Bastard.
Fact 1 - he never saw Walcott played (NEVER), he only saw him on video.
Fact 2- Walcott is still in the Arsenal Reserves, he never played in the premiership since his £12m transfer.
Fact 3- The ommission of Jermaine Defoe, who had proven qualities as a good striker, fast enough, skillful enough and had been in the England Squad for the past year.
Fact 4- This is a gamble that any good manager would have make (after all Walcott HAS the MOST potential).
I don't like the gamble bit, when u gamble if u show the ruthlessness, rational and mentality then u inspire confidence. However, when u make a gamble and seems unsure and soft then this will transpire down the team hierachy, down to the fans.
So, The contradicting point of Eriksson's comments are as such:
I- my biggest, bravest, boldest gamble <--this is a good gambling rally
II-It is a bit of a gamble.... <--he just said it is a BIG gamble, now its a BIT?????
Its like a chess player going into a game and say:" i think today i might win, or lose."
Cheeky bastard.

how true...
The ministry of defence of UK has released a 400 page report on UFOs, after it is being requested through the Freedom of Information Act by an academic.
Read the full news here (BBC).
Here is a summary for lazy people:
1. The report, which was completed in 2000 and stamped "Secret: UK Eyes Only", has been made public for the first time.
2. the identity of the man who wrote it has been protected.
3. "No evidence exists to suggest that the phenomena seen are hostile or under any type of control, other than that of natural physical forces."
4."Evidence suggests that meteors and their well-known effects and, possibly some other less-known effects are responsible for some unidentified aerial phenomena,"
5.People who claim to have had a "close encounter" are often difficult to persuade that they did not really see what they thought they saw. The report offers a possible medical explanation.
6. "The close proximity of plasma related fields can adversely affect a vehicle or person," states the report. "Local fields of this type have been medically proven to cause responses in the temporal lobes of the human brain. These result in the observer sustaining (and later describing and retaining) his or her own vivid, but mainly incorrect, description of what is experienced."
7.other causes of UFOs - aeroplanes with particularly bright lights, stray odd-shaped balloons and strange flocks of birds, to name but a few.
of course, there will always be an argument that this is an elaborate government cover-up, so on and so forth...
