Pineapple Express

There were some nicely cut up chunks of pineapple in the fridge packed neatly in a container I bought from Pick 'n Pay. Thinking I'd better eat it before it went bad, I decided to take it to work to eat for breakfast yesterday.

Though... yesterday the trains messed up and I was almost late for work. Just just made it in time with a quick jog. So I didn't eat breakfast at work. The pineapples, as suspected, went a bit in an uproar and screamed "EAT US before we go sour!".
But lo and behold, a little juice leaked out into my backpack whilst I was running to work.
So my backpack's aroma changed into this horrible hobo pineapple beer odor throughout the time of day...

I got home, unpacked my stuff and then needed to whisk off a few suburbs away to fetch medicine for my flatmate, taking the backpack with because I needed to do some shopping as well when I return.
Climbing into the cab, the guy asked "where are we off to?" and I wanted to reply with "To infinity and Beyond!!" but didn't... :(
Pinelands, I said instead.

I couldn't smell the bag then... but standing outside the doctor's house waiting for him, the backpack in the taxi probably grilled the odor some more...

Then on my way back to Cape Town City, I stopped at the Gardens centre to buy something to eat, like hot cross buns (ah... The city life!), but stopped in by Clicks to buy myprodols.  Standing in that queue for medicine I could smell myself with the strange hobo aroma. It was so embarrassing, but had to get pain tablets...
2 x 30 packets of myprodol, because you know... "I'm a drunk".

Stood really awkward in the queue with that backpack. Lol X_X so sad.
Then off to PnP again. Bought hotdogs over the counter and asked questions like "When was this made? Why is it ON the counter and not behind the glass? Is there something wrong with it?"
The lady looked at me as if I'm a... You guessed it, a drunk.
The smell didn't help either.

Then off to Woolworths for those hot cross buns. Stood in another long queue. The lady in front of me kept on glancing in my direction. As if to say "Get away from my two boys, you vagrant!!". Hiss and sneer...
Or maybe it is my imagination, but why does my nose itch? :/

Then after that, to the KFC where all the hard working drunks go to buy chicken. I fit right in, you see...?


Pineapple... you won...

YESH!!

Live, love, believe

Words he once reminded, reminisces of a lost emotion.
 
One day the moon will shift aside and the sun shines comfortable enough for two to see each other.

She sees a man who only reveals himself to little and he sees a light he wants to follow at the end of his night.

It is hard to come close to this man.  Not because he is not attracted to her or because he doesn't want her, it is really because he is self centered.  Not meant in the slightest like egotistical or spoiled men, but being self absorbed because they are unaware of what being totally awakened really means.
It is hard for him to self surrender because it makes him feel undisciplined.  He is not going to chase after her, but he is not going to run from her either.  What she can do for this man is make him aware of what makes the world turn for others.

They see each other clearly right from the beginning considering they are both from the Earth.  They are both level headed and will have similar goals in life.  She is comforting and he will love her sweet voice.  He is gentle and has a very clear way of the things he says albeit others might not understand him. They will rarely irritate another.  What is going to hit him is the comfort she brings him.
He will love her slow and sensual movements, because there is very little room for error when you don't move very fast. He admires this trait because he has been moving fast his whole life and seeks a place of real comfort.

Neither one of them get angry very often, so fighting will be rare. He is a little worry wart, and his worries are usually unnecessary. She will take his critical manner with the sweetest appreciation, where most women would be offended and he appreciates this and feels safe.
He is a large man at heart who is quite strange in that he is quite satisfied in small spaces. He is content when he is working hard at something which makes them very helpful and also polite.
He has a lot of hope, but will never trample on anyone else to get there.

His uptight and critical manners are enough to give him a side ache, but that is where her comfort that he will love comes into play.  She will teach him that people who are loved have happy, fulfilled, and healthy minds and bodies.
She will then draw him a bath and make him soup that will warm him.  Her love and thoughtfulness will touch him even breaking his critical yet kind heart.
He will feel the love of this sensible and sensuous woman who makes everything seem so simple.
He loves that she is always there to listen to his worries, he will love her natural smell, and her cooking.
What she does not know is that he will do the same without asking.

She will feel so lucky to be with this man ultimately and intimately, because she knows that his love is not the temporary type.

He was never looking for a party girl as a wife. Women feel safe with him, but he only needs one dame in his heart and always believed that life would be more accomplished by doing many things with one person instead of one thing with many people.

He may not admit it, but when he receives a letter he wishes it is her, sometimes disappointed when it is a bill or another acquaintance, Bill, seeking his attention. He wanted to see her name instead...

He was not attracted idea of marriage unless he completely knows a person, but she will make him feel comfortable about it because she does not make it feel restricting.
He is a creature of habit, and will love coming home to her in comfort.  He will be there every morning to share their favorite breakfast and end the day doing something fun together.

The first time that he saw her room he will ask, "Why do you have so many pillows, and such a large bed that two people could lay spread eagled on it?" Of course, not meant in a bad way at all, he simply has an awkward sense of humour that approves his appreciation on her home. Another way of saying "me likes!" in another phrase.

Most disagreements between these two will end in apologies and forgiveness.  It is not easy to please this man, but she will find ways to do it easily.  She will be able to touch his heart in a very warm and sweet way.  If she uses her natural patience to show him that love is all he needs in life, he will be hers forever with time, not even needed to say this part.

Her words would mean comfort;
smell reminds him of happiness.
embrace would mean trust;
And her love, the world
