"There is a light that never goes out"

(I wrote this sentence last - I apologise for the following ramble - see if you can make any sense out of this nonsense)

It's a couple of hours later, I watched most of a DVD (Mighty Boosh live - how I wish I'd seen that show last year, and funny how I identify more with Howard Moon, when Vince is clearly cooler, and he is "King of the Mods" - which reminds me how rubbish is Phil Daniels in Eastenders? I only see it when Billie is here but really, how could he!! - talk about stream of consciousness this is a bloody long sentence!!)

"We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life" I used to be a big Prince fan, I could've sworn that used to be "love" but hey that's right I'm (slightly) intoxicated again! Well a bottle of red and I'm anybody's ! (sure I said that to someone recently) - You must think I have every day off and spend it all drinking and watching TV - well the life of a Nurse is strange (and I like strange) - shifts suit me, I could never do a "9 to 5" (Dolly or Sheena or Lady Sovereign - you decide!!) - plus my ex-wife is on holiday this week, which means I get to see very little of my daughter!
(Jeezy Creezy this is rambling, what was my point?) I think I was going to talk about love! that would explain the Prince thing anyway. However I think I've talked about love once too often, I've been in love (in honesty I still am - kind of) and I've had my heart broken. But if there's one topic that doesn't need any more discussion it's love - so I'll drag out some trusty quotes, and let others do my talking! you already had my favourite love quotes on Valentines Day, but here's a few more:

(My Favourite Beatles song is "I will" which contains this wonderful but sad line: )

“Who knows how long I've loved you, you know I love you still. Will I wait a lonely lifetime? If you want me to I will.”

but enough of unrequited love (please):

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost. - GK Chesterton

We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. Goethe (with you on this one German poetry paintery Dude!)

Who so loves believes the impossible. - Elizabeth Barret Browning

Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better. William Shakespeare (always reliable for a good 'un)

It is an extra dividend when you like the girl you've fallen in love with. - Clark Gable

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. - Tennyson (ah the classic - thanks Alf!)

"Enough, no more, ‘Tis not so sweet now as it was before..."
(yes thats a quote but it's also an instruction to me to stop -please!)

A few months ago I sort of invented a game - The Morrisey Oracle! I use my ipod to pick a random Smiths or Morrisey song, and the title gives me my fortune - tonight it picked the song of the title , "there is a light that never goes out" Such a beautiful chorus (especially the double decker bus) but does the title refer to optimism, or unrequited love?

and now goodnight!

"To sleep, perchance to dream"

(I love Hamlet! - that nutty Dane ! and my final quote tonight - honest)
