Oblivious
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
(Time by Pink Floyd)

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
(Breathe Reprise by Pink Floyd)

    "Amazing, that's how I would describe Chief''s eyes. His eyes see everything in a picture, and he expresses what he sees in such wonderful detail, and it actually makes you look at your photo's again and see what he sees, before you know it, your own eye's are really looking over photo's and seeing so much more. Chief sees the beauty in all and is not shy to express himself. Chief inspires me, and spoils me with his wonderful humor and compassionate comments. What a terrific Flickr friend as he takes the time to express himself, cheers to a wonderful person, we need more people in the world like Chief."

    "Ah, John!
    What would Flickr be without you?
    Without your humor and sarcasm,
    without your lovely poems and comments?
    It'd be nothing - that's what!"

    "I just coudn't find the proper words to describe how this perfect stranger has encouraged me. He came up out of the blue paying so much attention to my work and appreciating it with his special and unique view. I'll keep his honest and kind words in mind if i ever feel like giving up - if i can touch someone like i seemed to have touched him, even if he's in the other side of the world, i can go so much further and i must have no fear.

    Only a very few can actually see how much feeling i put into my pictures, and those who can are deserving of my most deep respect and admiration. Sensibility in a world full of beasts is a rare quality - let's keep it coming, let's do it better everytime.

    Thank you."
