But I don't wanna cry now.
The week-end had to be somewhat wild! I met my Tarzan on Saturday afternoon and pretended to be Jane. The only thing was we didn't hang from any ropes.
The evening came and I drove to a Brazilian birthday party in a pub in Islington. I am not familiar with the area but with the 'help' of the bloody navigator, my usual route which would have taken me half hour turned into a one-and-a-half-hour journey through the midnight traffic in Piccadilly and beyond! If only I had taken the matter into hand. Well, finally got to the Brazilian birthday gig, having to apologise to the very patient and understanding Carlos, after an almost two-hour delay.
The queue to get a drink seemed never-ending and the music was not doing much for me. So, I found the birthday girl to wish her happy days ahead and hand in her little pressie and after a warm welcome from Isabella, we decided to make our way to my favourite club; Fabric with two of her girlfriends. Girls' night out! So much steam to let out...
Frankly, I didn't think after a long absence, it will end up being such a late night... Then again... What's new! Met up with some regular friendly faces and danced the night away and chatted with some delightful bright minds till morning hours. What is a night without mischief?
What amazes me is the hoo-ha created over drugs when such a huge percentage of people around the world are using it! Yet, the subject raises an eyebrow or two whenever mentioned.
It was in the news here recently how alcohol does more damage than most drugs, how addictive cigarettes are and how much money the pharmaceutical companies are making out of the various prescription drugs flown into markets, while they make their billions, only to be removed from the shelves some months or years later.
Ecstasy I hear was sold in pharmacies as the happy pill, up to the 1960s. Perhaps if instead of making it all wrong, governments took a more open-minded and understanding look at teaching how each drug is made and the consequence of abuse of it as well as alcohol, then so many of our young population would not be so confused.
In the news on the radio in Tehran in a minicab, a friend heard of the siege of nine hundred and forty-two kilos of crystal meth, almost a ton announced. A man-made drug created in illegal labs everywhere which in time destroys the body and certainly the mind beginning with euphoria.
With the mockery, all the politicians have made of our world today and this is not a question of blame, just a better understanding of what is it they are really concentrating on? Why were massively destructive weapons created, while so many people cannot even cope with passing from one day to the next due to 'barely' living in unthinkable conditions of misery? Why are we getting so self-centred in our ways? Why are people smiling less? And... Where is the Love?
