the man that can't be moved - the script
Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not...broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you...
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
Policeman says son you can't stay here,
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm
and maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
Cos you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
[Repeat in background]
So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.
Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move.

16 random facts about me
taken from my facebook note.
1. Day dream a lot. (Read: Excessively). Star Wars. If I could be a lightsaber wielding, force using Jedi. I would be. Yoda would be my hommie. And Darth Vader would be like "I am not your father. But I wish I was. Damn!". I've read more than 40 Star Wars novels.
2. I have a dislike for people in general as other people agitate me and cause me to feel anxious. Though this is setting dependent. Which makes friendship especially important to me, for a simple reason. My friends don't cause me to feel on edge all the time.
3. One of my all time favourite meals is the Christmas meal. Roast Turkey and the various trimmings that go with it. (Thank you early American pilgrims and puritans.)
4. I am afraid of heights, small spaces and of being in a coma; conscious of the world around me but unable to do anything, trapped in a prison of the body.
5. I enjoy humour. I try to colour everything about my life with it.
6. I don't particularly enjoy poetry (reading it) but find it an excellent way to cryptically express my feelings on subjects to close to home to express otherwise.
7. Songs I'll never get tired of Tea and Sympathy by Jars of Clay, Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, Change Your Mind by Boyce Avenue, Everlong by the Foo Fighters and Glass to the Arson by Anberlin.
8. Aerosmith's song was right, falling in love is hard on the knees and I fall in love way too easily. I have accumulated plenty of metaphoric scars over the years. Some worth their pain. And to that end I hate Alfred Lord Tennyson. I swear the bastard was piss drunk or on crack when he said it is better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all.
9. I love the rain, thunder storms get me high and lightning is by far the most amazing natural phenomenon that I have ever seen. I can spend hours staring at the skies as lightning streaks the sky with light as I lose myself to the steady rhythm of the rain falling. Playing in the rain only serves to enhance the experience and after the skies have cleared the stars never look more beautiful.
10. I enjoy conversations. Listening or the other thing people do in conversations. I enjoy them so long as the subject matter is engaging. Topics ranging from fart jokes to life, the universe and everything. (Thank you Douglas Adams).
11. Ambition in life: to be a good father.
12. Have a morbid fixation with death, depression, sadness.
13. When playing a video game that involves moral choices, have never been able to go down the "evil" path willingly. I feel real guilt for hurting pixelated people. Except when they deserve it and then I show no remorse.
14. I have a weakness for brunettes. In my opinion, Paz Vega is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen on TV. Followed closely by Eliza Dushku, Christina Ricci and Kristin Kruek. But that is just TV. And since we're on the subject of beauty. I think the most attractive physical quality of the opposite gender is the eyes. Iris colour is irrelevant, but I do find shades of brown and green to be the most enthralling. All that beauty on the inside goes without saying in fact mentioning it in depth is hackneyed.
15. Nickname growing up "Ton". Short for Titon because at the age of two I couldn't pronounce Tristan. Heck some 30 year old and older adults can't pronounce it. I've been called Christian, Kristin and some others.
16. Considered being a Priest. True story.

spiced pineapple rum cake
I've been thinking a lot about dessert of late. And a recipe came to mind.
A spiced pineapple rum cake.
You're probably going wtf! But hear me out.
I was thinking... Rum is awesome, it's got rum, enough said. I kid.
Seriously though, I was thinking about getting a pineapple and extracting all the juice. Put said juice in a saucepan and reducing it with brown sugar and some cinnamon and rum. Getting a nice pineapple flavoured sugar syrup along the lines of molasses. Sticky sweet spiced goodness. Yum.
After doing that I was thinking of getting raisins and more pineapple (or using the pineapple I extracted the juice from) and soaking that overnight in rum and black coffee. Smokey rum flavoured fruit. Yum.
Once all this is done. Get flour, eggs, butter/margarine a little cinnamon powder in the correct amounts for a cake that would use molasses/golden syrup/treacle as the sweetener. Combine. Bake. Bam. Cake.
And for a topping or icing. In the spirit of keeping with the rum/spice theme. Make a sort of Chantilly Cream, instead of vanilla, we use rum mixed with cream, icing sugar and a small amount of cinnamon. Spread over cake or serve separately.
Me thinks I should getting working on this.
