Quick bit on my journey thus far to the old country.
Forgive the choppiness of this post, but I've only got 4 min left on my internet session and want to get this pounded out so I'm just copying from facebook posts I did. Enjoy ( Read more... ) -
Random song I wrote...
As the title says, I got inspired the other night and wrote a song. This is big because I actually have a beat for this thing and everything. Anyways, here it is. I won't be posting again for at least a week because I'm going to Ireland for my fall break ( Read more... ) -
wow, such a long time....
Wow, its been forever since I last posted I just realized. So much has happened. But I’d like to think I’ve been talking with you guys in other mediums and keeping you posted, so its not a huge loss. But regardless, I figure I’ll give a huge account of my life in Greece to date. I apologize for the length and possible summary-nature of it. I ( Read more... ) -
Musings 2
And now that I've shown you my latest Odes, here are a few works from a piece that I hope will eventually fill a whole book. They're part of a piece I've titled "The Miscellany." Enjoy.
The Miscellany
“For You”
These words come easy but the thought is empty
Weak utterings escape my mouth and flood to the page.
A diet cola of creative expression,

Musings
So much to say and so little time to say it. I just got back from a week-long trip to Crete and let me say it was AMAZING. But before I type up a REALLY long post about that, let me just entertain you (I hope) with a few workings I did while on the island. It was absolutely gorgeous and totally helped my muse. First, here are a few more Olympic ( Read more... ) -
Apollo's musings take 2
"Zeus"
A lightning crack, the ocean stirs
The mountains shake and I tremble.
Terrible is the power a man must face
In the conflict of the soul.
Again, thoughts?

Wow, Apollo is SO my patron diety
It should be no surprise that a would-be writer as myself would find inspiration here in the land of the muses, but I was nevertheless surprised by how freely and quickly this came to me. Its more than a tad Shakespearean, but keep in mind that I've never read the guy so this is just me imitating a style I've heard about through indirect pop- ( Read more... ) -
Time for a change
Ok, call me fickle, call me just following the trends, call me a copycat, but I'm freakin sick of having longish hair. I woke up this morning, it looked like crap and I'm tired of trying to deal with it. So, before I split for NH today, I was thinking about getting it cut. But I want something new, something different. Something that I'll be ( Read more... ) -
Weird thought
Well, as any of you who know me well or have been reading my lj posts know, my mental state changes like the wind. No, I'm still doing well right now and I hope that stays this way for a while. But I was reading this really interesting and scarily semi-biographical book called "Strange and Dangerous Dreams." It's a study of some great but doomed ( Read more... ) -
Wow
I really never thought I'd be happy right now, but I am. It's amazing what complete honesty will do. I wont go into detail because I've already ranted about it enough (yeah I know, I rant when its bad but wont spill when it's good news). Needless to say though, I can't believe what 24 hours and 3 serious chats will do. I feel like an entirely ( Read more... )
