What we are witnessing now is a clash of civilisations, not just between states but within them.
I always said life consists of love and work. I tried to balance it 50-50. And, of course, now I'm so happy I did.

Now everybody's got a crazy notion of their own. Some like to mix up with a crowd, some like to be alone. It's no one elses' business as far as I can see, but every time that I go out the people stare at me, with me little ukulele in me hand.
