Merry Christmas for tomorrow, folks. My love to all.

Part 3.

oOo oOo oOo

I am sorry for the hurt that I have caused you. My own fears are often negated by the use of an unrelenting superiority complex when it comes to dealing with others. I know that I have at times patronised you and perhaps even dismissed your own fears when you've expressed them. Regardless of what I think of them, I know that ( Read more... )

Part two.

oOo oOo oOo

I am sorry that I didn't have the guts to say 'yes' when it mattered. I realise that had I said that one simple word, things may have been very different between us. That conversation - February/March 2004 - sticks in my mind. The truth of it is that I wondered if you were in a healthy place and actually meant what you said ( Read more... )

This is a kind of twelve step thing, so you'll have to stick with me for a bit. In a way I suppose that even this is something of a cop-out, as I don't know if the right people will even read what I want to say to them, but it is the only way that I have of communicating with them.

I am alive. I promise. This is not the ghost of me blogging.

So I recently put together four volumes of guitar related music for my cousin. He's just starting to learn to play and I figured it would be a thoughtful thing to do.
