Stalemate (Day 260)
So I guess life is like a game of chess. You need to plan your moves well ahead of scedule. You need to be strategic and clever and think about what you want to acheive and how you are going to acheive it. You have your Queen which you think you will never lose and then all of a sudden she is gone. You have pieces like your Rook or Knight who you get dangerous and adventerous with, until they are taken from you. Then you realise that your priorities were all wrong and that the game you thought you were winning hands down, now looks like a lost battle. So what do you do you when you realise that you got blinkered, and instead of consulting your Generals and planning your attack, you went off on a tangent and did what you thought was right, when your Bishops and Pawns are screaming at you to sort the mess out but you ignore them and carry on losing, even thinking that you can turn the game around and still win. What do you do?
Do you just knock your King over and call it quits?
Or do you set the board back up and play again?
I have a lot of thinking to do I guess.
I will leave you with this song, it sums up my relationship with my soul mate. Debs.
I took a bite out of a mountain range, thought my teeth would break the mountain down.
Lets go, I want to go all the way to the horizon.
I took a drink out of the ocean and I'm treading water there before I drown.
Lets dive, I want to dive to the bottom of the ocean.
I took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn't go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride. I wouldn't leave here without you.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
'Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don't like.
You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished here, and then you'll find out where it all went wrong.
I wrote a note to the jungle and it wrote me back that I was never crowned king of the jungle, so there's and end to my horizon.
I took a ride, I took a ride. I wouldn't go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we'll take a ride. I wouldn't leave here without you.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.
'Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don't like.
You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished here, and then you'll find out where it all went wrong.
Nothing lasts forever, except you and me. (You are my mountain, you are my sea)
Love will last forever, between you and me.(You are my mountain, you are my sea)
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.
I am a mountain, I am the sea
