This post has very little to do with communication, creativity, brands, planning and advertising. Nothing to be precise. But it does involve emotion. Lots of it.
I’ve been very busy with work lately, which is the reason I haven’t updated this site more frequently. And I won’t write about any of the above until Jan 2009.
It’s not that I’ve run out of steam, not at all, it’s just that I’m currently trying to collect my thoughts on what needs to be done in 2009: what I want to achieve. In the face of the current economic gloom, I’m actually really excited about 2009. Oddly enough, I have a really good feeling about it. Call me delusional.
This post, however, has nothing to do with work and doesn’t require an explanation or a lengthy oration so I’ll cut straight to the chase.
I stumbled across this clip just now and realised that I, unlike Cat Stevens, have already found her – my hard-headed woman. How lucky I am. My search is over. If there’s one woman on the face of this earth who’s earned the epithet, hard-headed, it’s her. My wife. Annie. She’s a woman you don’t mess with.
I love my hard-headed woman, particularly her hard-headedness. I look up to her, admire her, adore her. She completes me. That’s why I’m posting this. Felt compelled to.
“hard-headed woman…one who will take me for myself…one who will make me do my best…and if I find her, I will need nobody else…the rest of my life will be blessed”
(un)common sense and bravery 
That’s a top post mate. I’m looking forward to that beer one day.
You think that will make up for leaving her Christmas pressie till the last minute?
Anytime Charles.
Rob, I don’t think this would make up for much, if anything, especially not with the kind of woman I’m talking about here. All I know is that I’m an extremely lucky man to have found my hard-headed woman. I simply needed to express it with a little help from Cat Stevens, alias Yosuf Islam.
My Memere’s name was Annie. Maybe it is something in the name? She was a hard-headed woman. Smart, oh boy, don’t be trying to quote something if you don’t have ALL the info. Correct anyone anywhere on grammer. If someone was being “ignorant” she would come right out and say it in public. She was my Memere, kept me in-line, on my toes, honest, respectful and taught me how to appreciate simple things. I love her and miss her and look forward to seeing her again.
I was lurking and had to comment on this, thanks for the space.
Thanks for sharing “Erni Bert”.
It is nice to definitely locate a web site where the blogger knows really well about his subject.
