am i a success???

The other day a friend and I,
Tried to define what success meant to us.
Does it mean having enough to buy,
Whatever you want without a fuss?

Or does it mean being the best,
And being universally acknowledged as number one.
Or does it mean differing from the rest,
And doing things that no one's done.

Would I be considered successful,
If I came second in a test,
But I had given it my full,
I had done my very best.

How/when does one know he is a success,
And does success really matter to me,
If all I want in life (well more or less),
Is just to be happy.

lonely

Wish I knew someone here,
Someone I'd meet for a movie or a beer.
Someone with whom you could just talk,
Someone to hold hands and just walk.

Four million or more in this city,
Yet every night I feel so lonely.
Lots of people, lots of food, lots of culture,
Yet nothing and no one I hold dear.

Days, weeks months have gone by,
Cold and alone, in my bed I lie.
Wondering how I'll spend the rest of my life,
Will I be alone or will I have a wife

But what scares me most is that, when I die,
No one will come to say good bye.
No one will look and no one will care,
How this old man died on his rocking chair.

three movies i've liked so far

Of all the movies I've seen this year,
Here are three I hold most dear.

The Korean movie "200 Pound Beauty"
Was a movie that really tickled me,
A light hearted romantic comedy,
Perfect for that special someone and you to see. :)

Then there was "300",
About King Leonidas & the Spartans that he led,
With battle scenes that looked out of a painting,
This was one movie worth seeing.

Finally there is "Priceless (Hors de Prix)",
That wonderfully romantic & funny French movie.
Starring the oh, so beautiful Audrey Tautou in a new look,
If nothing else she will definitely get you hooked.

thank you

Birthday wishes, birthday gifts and of course the birthday surprise,
Nothing could be better or as nice.
Friends writing in with their best wishes,
Going out for lunch and hogging on my favorite dishes.

It's nice to know that people still remember,
Even though they are everywhere and I'm still here.
From Casablanca, Drops of Jupiter to you know who ;) ,
I just wanna say a very BIG "THANK YOU".
