Track by Track: 1996 by Eighteen Visions
I know I’m late to this review but I’ve been in throws of our 2nd lockdown and well, to be honest, I’d rather listen to music than write about music. But now that our 8th week of lockdown is slowly inching its way into the 9th week (I think it’s the 9th anyway), the urge to write about music is back. (And if you’re curious, … Continue reading Track by Track: 1996 by Eighteen Visions
Sometimes a Comment Brings You to Tears
WARNING: Contains spoilers to The Anger of Angels I have a coworker who’s opinion I truly and deeply value. I hold a great deal of respect for them as they are one of the wittiest, smartest, and damn fine humans I know. A few weeks ago, they made a comment on one of our end of day calls that they were reading a new novel. … Continue reading Sometimes a Comment Brings You to Tears
51 Days in…
51 days into Lockdown 2.0 and well, I’m not insane…yet. While the first lockdown ended after 87 days, I can say without doubt 2.0 will not be ending in 36 days that’s for sure. At the end of July, the government announced they were giving singles a “singles bubble”. It means that, I as a person who lives alone, can have one friend be dedicated … Continue reading 51 Days in…
Everything is Connected
As I wrote in my post MENTAL DUMP, I’ve started Book 2 in THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER series, but it has sort of taken a backseat for a moment. I confessed that my mind kept drifting to Ava and Hart from COFFEE AND CONVERSATIONS, but it is now a goddamn obsession. Such an obsession that I’ve got 14,000+ words written in what was suppose … Continue reading Everything is Connected
Music Inspiration for The Anger of Angels
Through the various adaptations and incarnations of THE ANGER OF ANGELS there have been a lot of playlists and but only one song made it over to the final playlist and that was Duran Duran‘s “She’s Too Much”. When NIN released Ghosts V and Ghosts VI, it was like the Universe clicked. Both were the perfect inspirations for the novel. They became the musical noise … Continue reading Music Inspiration for The Anger of Angels
Mental Dump
Day 34 of Sydney’s 2nd lockdown (aka Lockdown 2.0). It sucks but I won’t complain. I have a roof over my head, food on my table, and am very fortunate that I can work from home. I am still able to train with my trainer outdoors and I’m fully vaccinated. Like I said, I won’t complain. I’ll support my local businesses and do what I … Continue reading Mental Dump
Currently Sparking Joy Is…
June came and went. July started and where I am is currently in lockdown due to the rise of the Delta Variant of COVID. It sucks being in lockdown but as the vaccination program here has been slow to roll out, the best way to curb a high death toll and herd mentality is to lock us all down. Granted, we’ve had a semi normal … Continue reading Currently Sparking Joy Is…
See You on Down the Road, Marcus
I’ve been avoiding this piece of writing. It’s had starts and stops and none seem to be the right way to say anything…to write anything. And I suppose that is life. Start. Stop. Keep going. Progress not perfection. I guess, that is what I take away from writing this piece. It’s not going to be perfect but it will hopefully express how much this person … Continue reading See You on Down the Road, Marcus
Songs of My Life: May 2021
May…one step month closer to winter here in AUS (1-June is the first day of winter) and it was a month that was filled with mehs. Nothing bad happened. Just meh. I blame that last fading light into dark and the days getting colder. Mentally I’m not ready for winter. Physically I’m not ready for winter. (I hate being cold.) And I just don’t want … Continue reading Songs of My Life: May 2021
After the Music Stops
What happens after the music stops and the rain stops singing What happens after the music stops and the heart stops beatingWhat happens after the music stops and the brain stops being Does the wind fall silentDoes the soul turn into dustDoes the ego let go What happens after the music stops Am I filled with peaceAm I filled with joyAm I filled with quiet … Continue reading After the Music Stops
