A Melancholy London Sunday Morning


Was walking around London in the early morning, my head full of thoughts and a bit of grief in my heart. Didn't really have any direction, I just followed my heart. Wandered near St. Paul's and sat on the steps. Then opted for an extended walk along the Thames.

What if the Thames could talk? What would it say? I suppose the Thames is a woman. Don't know why, I think it's because women are generally more interesting than men, and she interests me. I thought, 'If the Thames could talk, then she would have warned me that my last luv was not meant to be.' How so? Because one day two weeks ago my luv and I were walking by the Thames, she leaned over and gazed into the Thames.' 'The Thames is dirty' I said, 'why are you looking at it so intensely?' 'Because I've lost something in there.' she said.

I don't know what she lost. Perhaps she was being coy. So today I went searching for it along the Thames. But now, I've come home, tired and weary, and a bit teary eyed, empty-handed.

Sometimes things are better left unfound or else we'd spend our whole lives searching for things 'lost' in our past, thus distracting us from discovering new things/people/experiences in our present state.

Get a load of Robbi everyone! I thought he was going to look like all goth, pale and lank - turns out he's an Asian boy-band model! Who woulda thunk it! Looking good, Robbi boyo!

No, you see... someone from London (like me) would know that advertising subsidies are a form of comercialism. The fact that this sailed over your head leads me to think that either you're not from here, or that you're just... special.

What's wrong with commercialism? If it wasn't for commercialism, this site would not be here.

Hanid, inspite of not wanting to laugh I find that I must.
Robbi, with fear or sounding trite I'll not say anything. But I will say that I 'know' what you write about.

yeah, NYC is a joke. As a Theatre worker, I despise Broadway and the massive commercialisionism of plays there. Secondly, NYC is nothing but a big capitalist dream. Times Square? Owned by Disney. Fifth Avenue? All owned by rich fuckkers. London, on the other hand, has a REAL history full of culture.

london's music scene is unsurpassed. people say nyc is edgy. it is, but not as edgy and deep as london. there's this polite hostility in london. in nyc it's out in the open. and besides this nyc is a capitalist dog at its heart. that's what spoiled her for me. all the adverts and sh1t. all those condos and penthouses.

yes i'm familiar with them LP. yeah, i know so many born and bred new yorkers who prefer london to nyc. outside of london, though, i can't think of any place but nyc. only placed where i don't feel walled in...

or dressed up like the Japanese transsexual rocker, Paddy Fields, from that 77 London punk band, Raped, led by Sean Purcell, RIP... Robert, would you happen to be familiar with them?

SoHo is a transsexual, not a man or a woman. Granted, born a male, then had a sex change op and dresses up like one of the New York Dolls. Even tho the NY Dolls were from NYC, they whole-heartedly prefered London.

i love wandering around buckingham palace mall in the evening, during the sunset, when it's quiet and practically empty, and the sun sinks in so low over the castle, it's awfully romantic and somewhat disturbing. ahhh, anarchy and tea-cakes.
