They’re not pretty, this family. They’re all sand browned skin and falling ashy black hair, sliding over their dark dark eyes. They’re tall, wealthy, and powerful. They’re not pretty, but they’re something else. Something better, more elusive, something that everyone wants. They’re more of the same, all of them the same sturdy lean build. Smart, exhaustingly so. Clever, and witty, and sharp, so much sharpness. Access to anything and anyone they want, and everything is a gateway, with no lock. And if there ever was a lock, they’ll get the key. And its spare.

They’re not pretty, this family. But they’re something else. Something attractive, that turns their ashy darkness into spun white gold, platinum. Sandy brown skin, looks so much more like mocha chocolates and Godiva’s heaven. And everyone wants. Wants a piece of them. Of that. Of what they have.

They’re something else. That redefines everything.

The Reason For Living Is To Get Ready To Stay Dead a Long Time
-Faulkner

“…One slightly leftfield possibility is that keeping magnetic fields in symmetry about the axis of your body could affect certain bodily processes. There are tantalising bits of evidence to back this up – in humans, the time it takes to drift into REM sleep and the electrical activity in the brain differs depending on whether we’re facing a north-south direction or an east-west one.”

“Before age 25, a man is judged by his potential. After 25, he is judged by his results.”

London Town

All this time, I’ve been holed up in London Town. God, I seem to say this every year, but damn, it gets crazier and more packed with each visit. They shut off some roads like Baker Street, and had construction done near the end towards Regent Street, so that caused a lot of congestion. It was people crowded too, more than before, lots and lots of Emiratees. A LOT. I think I saw faza3 driving his custom ordered range rover stormer…I am not ashamed to admit it, I stopped dead in my tracks. Not for him! For the car: it was drop dead gorgeous. Drop dead limited orange with side sweeping doors gorgeous…WHY WHY?! I thought it was just a concept, when the hell did that happen?!

And I almost forgot: If I see another Hermes bag on a mother fuckin’ 14 year old again, I will scream, so help me god. They were everywhere, as if that bag wasn’t around for like the past 50 years. I always called it a granny’s bag, not meant for people under 30 at least. Haba.

That’s it for now. I am sick and tired, coming up with the flu, so me need sleep. ZZZzzz.

“Black is all the colors combined, while white is the absence of color. There was a painting of a full moon overlooking a beach, and there in the middle, was a rectangular shape lined with rainbow colors. The average viewer would say that the painting depicts the full moon shining on a colorful blanket on the beach. The ‘blanket’ is actually the moon’s shadow which is black, and black being the symbol for all colors combined, is shown likewise within the painting.”
