.:Callouses
I haven't played guitar seriously for well over a year. It's one of those things that I almost forgot I knew how to do. It's not as though I've forgotten I could, but more the experience and the feel of what comes with it was relegated to an almost lost memory. I forgot how cathartic creating music was. How I used to sit with my guitar and play ( Read more... ) -
.:Introspect
It's been a while. In fact, I haven't posted once since I started penning Greyscale... so that's where all the words went. But, I now have 3 blogs, and I like to segment the areas of my life that don't need to intersect so I can at least have a bit of sanity of one area not fully taking over the other aspects of my life.
Life has been very busy ( Read more... ) -

This is my first post from my phone... so please pardon any spelling errors (they always seem to crop up, no matter how often I check for them ( Read more... ) -
.:Goodbye
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
~Dr. Seuss
I'm saying a lot of goodbyes as of late. Some are hard to take... some scare me... some give me hope. I had to say goodbye to two very dear friends that Sarah and I had the good fortune of hosting for a little over a week. I'll see them as they stop by on their way back through ( Read more... ) -

Santa: I've been to New York thousands of times.
Buddy: Really?
Santa: Mm-hmm.
Buddy: What's it like?
Santa: Well, there are some things you should know. First off, you see gum on the street, leave it there. It isn't free candy.
Buddy: Oh.
Santa: Second, there are, like, thirty Ray's Pizzas. They all claim to be the original. But the real one ( Read more... ) -
.:Home
"I'm heading home
Yeah, but I'm not so sure
that home is a place
you can still get to by train"
~"Southbound Train", Jon Foreman
As my family comes together at my house tomorrow for Thanksgiving, I rethink the concept of home... what it means... what it should mean... and the gap between the two.
Home has many meanings for me... I have a house that I ( Read more... ) -
.:Wind
"The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it,
but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes.
So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."'
~Jesus, John 3:8
Like a good 'chicken or the egg' type of thought, I cannot place what caused my love for the wind. I once wrote a character for a story who loved the wind. It was one of ( Read more... ) -
.:Re-Return
"I have a good deal on French World War II rifles... never fired, only dropped once!"
~Ivan Laslo, Return to Volition
Now, I never swore it wouldn't happen,
but it is fair to say that I found it highly unlikely,
that Return to Volition would be revisited.
Umpteen times I debated deleting the footage
to save room for future projects
but it ( Read more... ) -
