My first ever negative mood for a post, and I'm more deeply grieved than these mundane little mood icons could ever express. Johnny Cash is no longer with us.

This update is long overdue, and I’m sorry that I have not been commenting much lately to posts, I really don’t mean to neglect anyone. I am just now catching up with reading my friends page, so hopefully most of you will hear from me today. Words don’t usually come easy for me, you see. Sometimes when I sit down to type or write something out with ( Read more... )

A day begins wholly different when the morning wakes to greet you, rather than you waking to greet the morning. The transition from night to day is miraculous to observe, going from dim to bright, silence to sound, from stillness to motion. Blink too slowly and you might miss it, too fast and you just can’t take it all in. I watched Edinburgh stir ( Read more... )

When I went on hiatus from college to tour with the stage production of Disco Pigs, me aul wan and aul lad didn’t immediately take to the idea, to put in the lightest of terms. The subject sparked many suppertime disputes with my family, which worsened after I took up my studies again only to decide that law was simply not my forté. Extremely ( Read more... )

I have had a strange mix of thoughts and emotions the past several days, and sorting them out enough to describe them here hasn't been easy, so this little analogy is the best I could come up with without droning on about the private details. It's a bit like being at a party and having a beautiful stranger step up out the blue and give you a kiss. ( Read more... )

Surprise, I’m in Scotland, haha. I realize I should have made mention of this previously, so I apologize to everyone who may have hoped to see me after I returned from Ireland. I had just enough time to unpack a few boxes and decide what I am to do with all of the space I acquired in London before heading here this morning. I’m resuming my role as ( Read more... )

It seems that nearly everyone I know is going through a hardship of some kind just now, much of it is primarily related to matters of the heart. It's difficult to sit back and watch them suffer, knowing there's not much to be done about it by me but just that, to sit back and watch. I offer an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, my embraces and ( Read more... )

So much has happened lately I don't know where to begin, and forgive me if I leave anything out due to the bulk of events. I have seen the city of Ghent and its hand toiled history of stone and mortar, I have become an honourary member of Ash and formed a fun little mock band with the one and only Tim "Egg" Wheeler. I have frolicked in the summer ( Read more... )

Everybody wants a piece of me, and I want to give it to them. I have a very difficult time saying no to anyone I respect or hold dear in some way, or one I feel that I am somehow indebted to for an above and beyond kindness they have shown me. Some might say this is naivety, since it is well known you do not always receive what you give. But to ( Read more... )

That post I mentioned about high wires and willys seems a bit outdated now as far as my immediate thoughts are concerned, but the gist of it remains. Doubts and fears, anticipations of what the future holds, still linger in my mind. I try to live for the here and now, while in some aspects planning for the tomorrows yet to be. Attempting to predict ( Read more... )
