I’ve recently taken up songwriting, which is a new and scary and awesome experience for me. Anyone who knows me knows that music is my world, and I don’t really know where I would be without it. And while I always wished I could write my own songs, I always told myself it was impossible. I just couldn’t work out the intricacies ...
It was a regular Friday afternoon, and I was working as usual, until I got hungry. Armed with my wallet and phone, I set off to but a lunch packet from the shop down the road. I walked back in to office with and left my wallet on my desk, had lunch and continued work as usual. It wasn’t until ...
Dear Body, I know our relationship hasn’t been all that great in the past, but I just want to say thank you. See, this morning, when you woke me up 10 minutes before my alarm was meant to go off, just because you know what a lazy bum I am, I realized that you still love me. I also want ...
I wake up at 8am, to sea gulls and a sea captain screaming ‘ARRRE you ready kids???’ The kids scream back; ‘Aye aye, captain!!’ The captain jovially yells – ‘ I can’t heaaaarrrr youuu!!!’ Yes, the Spongebob theme song is my alarm. I’m up early on a Sunday, because I have to come in to office to finish some freelance ...
“I am the Sun; The center of your universe. My love for you burns ever so intense, And its undeniable gravitational pull will set all the pieces of your life in perfect orbit around me. Let your very world revolve around me, my darling; Let me be the center of your universe. Let me be your Sun.”
I’m bursting with things I want, and things want to do! I want to sing with different bands, I want to color my hair, I want to get a new tattoo, I want to go to the gym, I want an iPad, I want a gold watch, I want a car!!! Ok, I’ll admit that’s a lot of things to ...
Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when you’ve left a boat-load of things unsaid. I’ve known the dude for about a year now, and I was one of the first people he asked about moving back down-under. Of course I said ‘yes, man, go for gold’; it was the best thing that could happen to him. What I wasn’t expecting ...
You paint the stars in the sky One by one, Just to make me smile. You compose musical masterpieces Complete with violins and grand pianos Just to amaze me. You thrill me with sounds of the ocean, and wind chimes that sway in the rain. You gave me ears that are hungry for music, And now you satisfy my needs. ...
Two and a half years ago, L called me up and said they could use an extra voice and a pianist for their band. At the time, it was a two man band, just the guitars, and they felt I could add to it. I’d always wanted to sing for people, and although I didn’t think my voice was exemplary, ...
Happiness: something I’ve been focusing on a lot lately. It’s so simple to just ‘be happy’ but often times I find that I’d rather sit around and feel sad than make that conscious choice to be happy. And that’s exactly what it is. A choice. Yesterday, I was feeling crappy. Someone insulted my body on a public forum. I don’t ...
It was dawn. The ocean was calm and quiet, and the sky above it glowed a rich golden orange. The sun shone its rays from behind the clouds, hiding its true force and power. It was a glorious morning indeed. Seated cross-legged on the surface of the ocean was a being – as tall as mount Everest. Her magnitude ...
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. But abstinence, it makes the heart desire - more fiercely than it ever has before. ~ They sat there, engrossed in conversation. Religion, music, pop culture, life itself – they discussed it all. He leaned comfortably in to the sofa, legs stretched out, one above the other. And she leaned forward, hanging on his ...
Take my hand spin me around, pull me close, and slow dance with me. Look deep into my eyes and romance me. Make my heart skip a beat, and take my breath away. Give me goosebumps with your sweet kisses. And in the background fireworks explode. A thousand butterflies in the evening sky soar. Whisper sweet nothings in my ...
You put your tiny hand in mine and we walked across the sandy shore and dipped our toes in the cool salty ocean. You put your arms around me and hugged me tight as I walked in to the water, and it melted my heart to see you laugh every time a wave crashed in to us. Armed with ...
I used to get drunk on a daily basis for the past year or more. I’ve finally settled down. Got it out of my system, almost. And the more time I spend at home, in the company of my family, the more I’m reminded of why the hell I would do anything to get the fuck away from them. This ...
I woke up on poya day to my dad telling me my grandpa just died. I didn’t even have time to think about it. I went and sat on his bed and stroked his head. He was still warm. No sign of a struggle or anything, he had just passed in his sleep. I’ve written about gramps before, but for ...
I’m not sure yet but……….. *deep breath* I THINK I’M QUITTING THE BAND. Which is pretty weird , cz after over two years in the band, I just started to feel like I was actually IN one. I never really saw myself as a singer, or a pianist/keyboardist -I sure as hell didn’t look the part, and quite often I’d ...
My luck’s been a little off lately. Ok. A LOT off. It started the week before Christmas, when the guy who hired me told me that my management asked him to look for a replacement for me. I got all hormonal and cried, and he said don’t worry, I’ll buy you some time, just get your shit together. SO ...
I miss my kid. I don’t get to see him that often anymore, and it’s true what they say – that absence makes the heart grow fonder. And in this particular case – it also rips it to shreds. I die every single time i have to let him out of my arms. What do you do when your heart’s ...
