I had a bit of an epiphany just now. I was replying to an LJ friend, wtfunkymonkey in his LJ, and I came to a startling realization.

Me: "Oh, I always know what to say. It's an Irish thing - the "Gift of Gab" and all that. It's not knowing what to do when it comes to relationships that fucks my shit up. I really should just follow your lead ( Read more... )

I know I haven't posted in awhile. Haven't really had all that much to say about my own life lately. I'm kind in a calm-before-the-storm place right now. Have you ever had those? The kind where you have several things about to happen all at once, but the moment hasn't come just yet, as well as some other "might-just-happen-but-who-the-fuck-knows?" ( Read more... )

You know how sometimes there's certain people you come to respect immensely in a very powerful way only after a huge knock-down drag-out fight? I kinda had something like that over the course of the day today. And when the dust settled, I came out of it with a better understanding and a deeper sense of respect for someone who, all things being ( Read more... )

Know what the greatest irony of this LiveJournal of mine is? The people who hate me read it to keep tabs on both myself and the people I talk about because they know that I don't lie. They actually know they can trust me to be honest when everyone else around them lies to them. They know this is true because they've never seen me lie yet. Oh sure, ( Read more... )

I had a great time in Kansas City over the weekend. My enduring gratitude and friendship goes out to Gina, Juan, Riley, Shawn, and everyone else involved. I'm considering the whole trip a very enjoyable respite before the storm, metaphorically-speaking, as yesterday was a very difficult day for me ( Read more... )

Someone posted this in a forum I'm a member of. I thought it was rather appropos with some of the things I'm going through right now, so I thought I'd share it. Credit goes to Tsumavoc. I'd like to add a bit more to it, but I think out of respect, I'll leave it as it is.

"Ever stop to think about the things that really honestly matter in ( Read more... )

Here's a new song I came up with tonight. Gonna work on the beats later - something heavy and fast with a mix of Latin and Jamaican hip-hop and techno-driven metal, all accompanied by an orchestral background. Sound complex? You betcha!

"Hell Vs Heaven (I Against I)"

One on one and I against I ( Read more... )

This has been a pretty good weekend for me, so I thought I'd post about it ( Read more... )
