“Brighton wrote the book on sex … and the dirty bits were on every page.”
Julie Burchill, “Sugar Rush”
I Love These Words
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking step into the sun
There’s more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
One Little Slip
It was a recipe for disaster
A four-course meal of no-sirree
It seemed that happily ever after
Was happy everyone was after me
It was a cup of good intentions
A tablespoon of one big mess
A dash of overreaction
I assume you know the rest
One little slip
One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things
I guess I probably took the wrong direction
Well, I admit I might have missed a sign or two
I ran a light past your affection
At Humiliation Avenue
I took a right turn at confusion
A left when I should have gone straight on through
I ran ahead with my assumptions
And we all know what that can do
One little slip
One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things
I get the feeling in this town
I’ll never live ‘til I live down
The one mistake that seems to follow me around
They’ll forget about the sky when they all realize
This guy’s about to try to learn to fly or hit the ground
It was a cup of good intentions
A tablespoon of one big mess
A dash of overreaction
And I assume you know the rest
One little slip
One little slip
It was a humble little stumble
With a big ungraceful…
One little slip
One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things

This little guy – a lesser anteater or tamandua – was born just days ago to mom, Cypress, at Discovery Cove, in Orlando, Florida. The youngster will hitch a ride on mom’s back for the first part of his life until he’s able to walk and find food on his own. Tamanduas are native to the forests of Mexico to South America. They use their sharp claws and 16-inch-long tongue (41 cm) to eat up to 9,000 ants in a single day.
Omigod. Check him out.
The big one looks like she’s very nervous about something.

Hey, sup?
This is now my desktop wallpaper. He is amazing!
Good point.
“It’s very simple why kids are crazy about dinosaurs — dinosaurs are nature’s Special Effects. They are the only real dragons. Kids love dragons. It’s not just being weirdly shaped and being able to eat Buicks. It’s that they are real.”
Robert Bakker
Just try and deny it.

Leda and the Swan
A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.
How can those terrified vague fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?
And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?
A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower[20]
And Agamemnon dead.
Being so caught up,
So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?
I need her assistance right about now…
