I hope you're having a wonderful day.

One Day

Hilarious

...


"Dearly beloved, it is with a heavy heart and a sad face that I say this to you this morning.

As of last Friday the 28th August, I have been forced to leave the Manchester rock'n'roll pop group Oasis.

The details are not important and of too great a number to list. But I feel you have the right to know that the level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable. And the lack of support and understanding from my management and band mates has left me with no other option than to get me cape and seek pastures new.

I would like firstly to offer my apologies to them kids in Paris who'd paid money and waited all day to see us only to be let down AGAIN by the band. Apologies are probably not enough, I know, but I'm afraid it's all I've got.

While I'm on the subject, I'd like to say to the good people of V Festival that experienced the same thing. Again, I can only apologise - although I don't know why, it was nothing to do with me. I was match fit and ready to be brilliant. Alas, other people in the group weren't up to it.

In closing I would like to thank all the Oasis fans, all over the world. The last 18 years have been truly, truly amazing (and I hate that word, but today is the one time I'll deem it appropriate). A dream come true. I take with me glorious memories.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have a family and a football team to indulge.

I'll see you somewhere down the road. It's been a fuckin' pleasure.

Thanks very much.

Goodbye.

NG."

She's a Little Runaway...



Like an arrow with no direction.
It was my intention to get lost.
I draw the crooked lines.
I take the pictures.
Proud of my work.
My dreams became what I do.
My plans became what I forgot.
Change seems so real lately.
The wind is just right.
My days are made of art.
It's not a secret.
I know my freedom.
Words on paper tell me where to go.
My heart says "take me with you".
Courage.

Knock Knock


The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

Let's Get it Right


This love is taking it's time.
Things run slowly when you're not around.
Beside you, I am real.
I paint you in my head using bright colors.
So I don't feel your absence.
There is always a moment to give to you.
I am a dreamer.
I wonder about you.
What you are doing.
Where you are.
Missing you keeps me honest.
And patient.
And creative.
And close to you.
If I wait too long it's because you never came.
Can't think of a reason why you wouldn't make it here.
You are so full of secrets.
Until you return your name will stay safely in my mouth.
