It's that time of year when a pricetag is placed on love

First of all I find it quite funny that I just read another blog quite similar to my own, and I have to say, DanielBenoit, I swear this is total coincidence. I was already planning on posting this before I even read your blog....

I myself have a long time loathing for the vein of commercials for various high end jewelers and diamond sellers and such of the like which always start to pop up this time of the year.

Perhaps it is just because I am unconventional, and low...

One day I got lost in a line of the Da Vinci Code
and found myself in an American high school class
where no one could answer the teacher's questions
about American history,
apart from the vampire.

An old man, he stared with bloodred gaze
at nubile young women
while they oohed and aahed at his young body,
dragged in by his eyes into rapture and death.

He could look pasty and stay out of the sun
