This time last year I was basking in the blistering heat, developing a nice tan, somewhere off the coast of Queensland, Australia (probably Fraser Island come to think of it); taking in the magnificent coastline views and not worrying about having to buy a new winter coat. What a difference 365 days makes! I’ve been … More Winter is coming…
After spending four months in Brisbane at the back end of 2014 and then re-visiting before I flew back to the UK in July 2015, I realised the place had become like a second home to me. I felt weirdly attached to Brissy, and the familiarity and sentimentalism I experienced upon my brief return made … More Brisbane’s Beats – A Gig-Going Guide for Travelling Music Lovers
She sits, staring at the sky, her dreams far from the reality she reluctantly embraces. A shooting star passes by, casting light upon unfamiliar faces. Her thoughts dance along the waves, the sand at her feet, warm and loving. In stark contrast she behaves, as if the past were lost and merely nothing. Yet it’s … More Pave Me The Way With Streets Of Gold
If we met in the night like passing ships, then sailed by again to catch another glimpse; If we shipwrecked ourselves upon the shore, stranded together like never before; If our short precious time was filled with fun; lessons and experiences, my trust you won; If I could stay but chose to leave, to follow … More Like Ships In The Night
What will happen when day meets night, And night meets day on the other side? The vast mountains and rolling hills, The rumbling jungles, silence instills, The never ending ocean and dipping tides, The connection felt between you and I. Along the horizon a new tale unfolds, Crashes of light and colours so bold. Sounds … More Dreaming of the World and You.
As I appear to have been neglecting my blog recently in begrudging and reluctant favour of participating in full time work; a job I care little for and wish I could walk away from but cannot as the financial catch 22 situation prevents me from doing so, I’ve been channeling my creativity and writing into … More Close Your Eyes
Music has always been a huge part of my life; it has inspired me, it’s uplifted me, it’s provoked sentimentalism, it’s roused feelings I never thought I could have; it’s made me cry, it’s made me laugh, and it’s also made me cringe. Music has helped me through some bad times, and there are certain … More Searching For Soul But Finding The Blues
There may come a time in every Creative’s life when that spark of artistic talent slows down; when the creative flow wanes; when there’s nothing being produced except, well, nothingness. Becoming consumed and bogged-down with life, and monotony, and routine (yawn) sometimes voids a Creative of all inspiration – there’s no stimulus to give you … More When Creativity Wanes, Head For The Ocean
They say the truth hurts, but you don’t believe it until you’re actually faced with it yourself. And you know what, it more than hurts, it wretches at your soul; twists it into small, tiny, unidentifiable pieces and then spits it back out. The truth, apart from being a great platform to base your life … More The Truth Hurts
Writers Block is a real thing. It affects the best of us and it probably affects the worst of us too. Personally, I’ve been experiencing writers block way too often of late and I think I know the reasons why. I can’t put it down to lack of inspiration as there’s inspiration for a good … More Writers Block Is Real And It Sucks Ass.
