Not without my Coffee

“Come to the dark side, we have coffee”

Not without my Coffee

I freely admit it
I am addicted
To the finest organic suspension 
One of the greatest inventions

Coffee

If gets me up in the morning
So read this  forewarning
To save yourself from scorning
Do not get between me and my 

Coffee

If you want your day
To be inventive and stay
On top of the world
Life delightfully twirled

Coffee

Take my advice
Don’t think twice
Pour yourself a cup of java
It beats the hell out of guava

Coffee

Your fellow human kind
Never looked so fine
The world filled with love
If everyone joined in a cup of

Coffee

Shall I Just Twitter Then?

“I worry we are spending too much time on Facebook, that we are losing our ability to connect with people on twitter”

Shall I Just Twitter Then?

“Good morning” I say when I arrive at the office. No response, from anyone.

“Good morning” My voice a little louder, but still no response.

“GOOD MORNING” I am now half shouting. I don’t believe it, no response. Everyone sitting there staring at their screens, small, medium and large.

“Fine” I say to myself, “I shall just twitter ‘Good Morning’ then!”

Suddenly, my screen filled with pings, indicating several responses to my greeting – in Twitter, that is!

Today’s social convention, how could I have forgotten!

Coffee, a Bliss and a Blessing

“There is no such thing as too much coffee!” Gun Roswell

Day Four: Coffee, a Bliss and a Blessing

Premise:

What is your idea of bliss? Is it an image of your family, laughing at the dinner table? A state of total relaxation, while lying on the beach? Your latest painting, drying on the canvas?

Bliss: complete happiness, great joy, paradise, or heaven.

Quotes:

“There is coffee in that nebula!” Captain Janeway, Star Trek Voyager

“There is no life before the first cup of coffee in the morning”

“Coffee, it’s gotten me through the best of times and the worst of times”

My thoughts:

So many passions to choose from, but in the end I guess my top choice is, surprise, surprise: COFFEE!

If I had been on the Titanic, I would probably have chosen to save the coffee before anyone or anything else. And trust me, you would not want to be stranded with me on a deserted island if there was no coffee!

Another day with Coffee:

Need more coffee before work

Good God Get a Grip Girl!

You may
Think
You’re the
Cat’s meow
But let’s see
How you
Really feel
After I
Tell you
About
What you
Actually are

I’m not
Trying to
Come for you
Offend you
Upset you
Or even
Resent you
In any way

But this is
What it is
How it is
Really like

Why
Don’t you
Give yourself
A really good
Look in
The mirror
And tell me
Can you
Get a grip
On it!

My Precious One

“Last Wednesday, I stupidly dropped my iPhone in the bath, and my life has sort of spiraled almost out of control” Patrick Stewart

My Precious One

The utter horror
Oh the sorrow
For no where
My precious one
Can be found

Why me?
Why now?

I keep on looking
Searching, longing
Turning every stone
With my fingers to the bone

Oh wherefore art thou
My sacred cow?

Suddenly in the distance
I hear a familiar sound
I am utterly astound
And without resistance

Dare I hope and glee
To be united with thee?

My heart skipping a beat
Feeling the heat
I have found it
My precious fit

I am back in the zone
Cradling you gently
My one and only
Iphone

Blogging 101: Day One: Introduce Yourself to the World

“I can’t sing, dance or act, but it never stopped me from doing any of those things”

Who am I?

Today’s assignment: Write and publish a “who I am and why I’m here” post on your blog.

Who am I?

Gun Roswell, residing in the fine city of Espoo Finland. Enjoying life as we know it (yes there is life beyond the world wide web). Enjoying travelling and trying to visit exotic places. Well if you can call visiting the cities in a fifty kilometer radius exotic, then yes.

I have been a tinker, tailor, solder, sailor… not really, but DJ, customer quack, salesperson and a duck.

I am currently acting as a blogger, storyteller, photo snapper, video doodler and a closet screenplay writer on my spare time. During the day I pretend to be an IT expert and gotten away with it for the last twenty odd years (Oops! Hope my boss isn’t reading this!).

My passion is to write, write and write some more. And maybe snap a few photos in the process.

I guess I started scribbling when I got my first crayons and started learning my alphabet around five years of age. I have been and guess still am a little shy about my writing and a lot in the closet where writing is concerned. This is actually my third attempt in writing publicly. And the second time publishing on the world wide forum of the internet.

After my first attempt to sell a screenplay with the feedback “Too American for our taste” from a Finnish production company, I stopped writing for a while. Then I restarted after the internet was invented (not!). Actually, there were no blogs nor social media way back then. Just simple handmade sites with no feedback options. That was during the dark ages where Stone knives and bearskins were common place. A chisel was needed to carve the letters in stone, no one had even heard of a computer.

Why am I here?

I truly hope this isn’t a meaning of life kind of question, because as wise as I may think I am, I don’t think I can answer that question.
But seriously, I am here to make friends.

(ANGRY BEEP!)

Wrong answer?

“This is not Bloggers best friend race!”

It’s not? Sorry my mistake.

“Cut, cut, cut!”

?

“Line?”

(Muffled sound in the background) “I am here to learn to write, connect with other bloggers and get feedback on my work.”

I am here to learn to write, connect with other bloggers and get feedback on my work.
Was that OK, or do we need another take?

“It was fine.”

Are you sure? Because I think I can do better.

“It was fine! Trust me!”

OK then!

“That’s a wrap everyone!”

So that is it, me, myself and I.
Thanks for reading! You have been a great audience!

Four Options For Coffee

“Coffee – the finest organic suspension ever devised. It’s got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it”Captain Kathryn Janeway

The Four Options Of Coffee

1) Good
2) OK
3) Drinkable
4) Yak

How to recognize bad coffee:

1) Looks like tea, doesn’t taste like tea and certainly not like any coffee you’ve ever tasted!
2) Sticky gooey stuff sticks on your tongue: Looks like tar, tastes like tar!
3) Your face twitches in a funny way: Not funny good, but funny bad.
4) Coffee with milk: Except when it’s ice coffee, with lots of coffee, a little ice and hardly any milk.

You know it’s an excellent cup when the coffee is:

1) Black.
2) The spoon melts in it before you manage to stir.
3) You have a burned after taste in your mouth for several hours after your last cup of the day.
4) It’s ten o’clock in the evening and you are still drinking it.

Note: Why you would actually stop drinking coffee at any hour is beyond me!

Block, What Block?

“Writing about a writer’s block is better than not writing at all” Charles Bukowski

Block, What Block?

Deadline approaches
Shoving off the roaches
Clearing the table
Computer enabled

Typing, typing, typing

Trickles of sweat
On my forehead
Writing some more
Oh what a bore

Writing, writing, writing

Reading out loud
Feeling kind of proud
Even without a crowd
Sitting on a cloud

I love it
I feel uplifted
Its pure golden
Feeling bolden

Continuing my writing

Reading back
I feel the lack
Lost the right track
I am a quack

I hate it
It’s utter shit
My writing sucks
What the fuck

Almost quitting
Seems fitting
Maybe try knitting
Before I am splitting

Delete, delete, delete

Giving it a third try
Even though feeling dry
No pain no gain
I need a new aim

Writing, writing, writing

Finally done
Hesitation all gone
Task completed
Feeling depleted

Reading, reading, reading

Not half bad
Finally feeling glad
Afraid of changing my mind again
I hit send
