Suicide (Happiness is...?)

Rodney Quarcoo — 2008-03-05

]]> Happiness is... the warm feel of the earth through the granite rocks the cold of the steel tracks confusing her touch bliss... when she feels the reverb through the tracks in the distance a train thunders towards her soon the inevitable... the last experience of a lifetime! Happiness is... ? ___________________ PS> please forgive the sloppy PS - no excuse I know, but i was knackered!

]]> Ushers from the 2008 Africa Cups of Nations closing ceremony exhibiting their vanity? They are dressed in stylized Ghanaian traditional ceremonial outfits of royal chieftan guards. All good fun, but these guys make me feel lazy! Footie's over now, but was definitely a fun ride! Bring on Beijing? :-)
