Spiderman?

Spiderman 4 according to my sources is the telling of Peter Parkers early days, supposedly his biggest trial yet.

There has been much discussion on the web as well as in my own house as to who will be the new Spiderman. At first I was extremely shocked to hear that Zac Efron would be the next Peter Parker...



I was intriuged with the idea of Zac Efrons attempt and so decided to wait and see the movie, that was until I heard that Zac Efron was in fact not going to be in the film at all, this relieved me all until I heard who would be taking his place...

Although Zac Efron would not have been great, there was no way I could take Robert Pattinson seriously, I mean c'mon!

Which is why I was especially ecstatic to hear that he won't be the next Spiderman and even more excited to hear that Andrew Garfield will be the star!

I absolutely love Andrew Garfield, I saw him recently in 'The Social Network' before that in 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' and before that in Doctor Who.... I have real hope that this will be an epic re-boot of Spiderman! =D

Love

Very little love is lost in living.
A star can fill a universe with light,
Lasting not one second less for giving
Each of us the gift of its delight.
Nor do we love ourselves the less for loving,
Taking others' pleasures for our own.
In love there is an ecstasy unmoving,
Neither more engaged nor less alone,
Eternal in its house of flesh and bone.

Be Mine...

To ask you to be my Valentine
I'd have to talk to you,
Something that in all this time
I've managed not to do.

I'd have to get past "Hi!" somehow
To show you that I care,
But the right time is never now,
Especially when you're there.

It's as if a wall of fear,
Transparent yet profound,
Came hurtling up as you come near,
Cutting off all sound.

I fear I won't know what to say
And strike you as a fool,
Or you'll be glad to get away,
Polite not to be cruel.

Easier to dream than act,
To hope than to find out,
So fearful of the force of fact
I wait in fear-filled doubt.

But now the day of love has come,
And I must cross its line,
And so I ask you through this poem
To be my Valentine.

Valentine

Valentine's for lovers and for friends.
All my love goes out to you this day!
Love is something different from desire:
Even, silent, peaceful as the sky.
Nor is love interested in means or ends.
There are no selfish needs that it must weigh.
Instead, love's plenitude itself inspires,
Needing neither cause nor reason why.
Each day my thoughts enchanted with you lie.

Valentine's Day

I wish you were my Valentine
Though I may not be yours,
And I may, in my ignorance,
Be speaking to closed doors.

I have no inkling of your heart,
No hint what you might say;
But when I think of you the sun
Will just not go away.

There is in you a loveliness
That makes my darkness shine,
And so I'll wait, if wait I must,
To be your Valentine.

Matthew Arnold - Longing

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.

Come, as thou cam'st a thousand times,
A messenger from radiant climes,
And smile on thy new world, and be
As kind to others as to me!

Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream it truth;
And part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say: My love! why sufferest thou?

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.
