I can never write when I want to. I went home last night intending to write a story. When the words come, they’re when I least expect it. And even then, the burst of inspiration doesn’t last long and I have a strong urge to finish it up and never leave whatever I’m writing to [...]

After an unusual, yet nice Monday night, Tuesday dawned with a sense of doom, gloom and sadness. I was in the weirdest of moods and I just couldn’t put a finger on what the problem was.
And all of a sudden I felt strangely nostalgic for Elsie’s Bar. There was a thread going around Facebook, a [...]

Three cheers to a fantastic production crew for handing their first production with such finesse and thank you so much to the cast for a performance well pulled off. (I think there was some syntax error in that sentence there, but what the heck!) It was an experience to work with such diverse personalities. And [...]

There are times in your life where you feel you’re standing still. It’s like you’re in this one stagnant place and you can’t quite put your finger on what it is you need to do to move on. You look for inspiration within and without and still… you feel like it’s so very senseless. You’re [...]

Till we meet again…
The knife has cut an inch deeper now. Almost as if it knew how long it could cut to a certain depth before the numbness sets in. I can’t seem to do the one surefire thing to ease my pain… I can’t find a song that relates to my mood. I want [...]

I’d like to say it’s getting better 4 years down the line, but I’d be lying. How do you recover from sending someone to feed the roses? Some days aren’t as dark as others. But then I wake up one morning and that gut-wrenching ache returns and I want to scream out at the injustice. [...]

Let’s start with the good news, shall we?

Just leaving to the Wendt. My panic is getting to be a little manic and I’m not going to make excuses for the unintentional rhyming. Shite. This is really happening. Yikes… I don’t have butterflies in my tummy. It feels like a herd of elephants are running around there. I’m serious.

The desperate, the restless & the broken-hearted…
It’s time.
Tonight is when it all starts to make sense.
We found & followed eachother in blind faith
And in 5 short months we lived lifetimes together.
Loved, lost, found, hated, cried, desired…
Its not over. Its only just beginning. Tonight.
