And I never wanted anything from you

Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh

Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back

Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over

Murphy, to his credit, has been a great sport for the many adventures that life has thrown him in the last few months ( Read more... )

It's terribly late, but it's been such an eventful few days I'd be remiss not to include more of the events that happened than a moment in front of a derelict house...

Point form!

• I got in touch with two lovely people from my past currently living in BC using Facebook today. As I joked to one of them, it's moments like this that make me change my ( Read more... )

I don't know whether or not how sad I just got

Was of my own volition, or if I'm just missing the sun

I should probably dig some gloves out of the winter stuff bag from the basement. You see, it's been cold inside and out. Not all the time, either way, it's chance weather what happens. Every day that the sun shines we turn the temperature down in ( Read more... )

Maybe I've been the problem, maybe I'm the one to blame

But even when I turn it off and blame myself, the outcome feels the same

I've been thinkin' maybe I've been partly cloudy, maybe I'm the chance of rain

Maybe I'm overcast, and maybeall my luck's washed down the drain

My last road trip to Edmonton was a bit of a trip down memory lane with the ( Read more... )

“She was leaving the home that was so dear to her, and something told her that she was leaving it forever, save as a holiday refuge. Things would never be the same again; coming back for vacations would not be living there. And oh, how dear and beloved everything was... all the thousand and one dear spots where memories of the old years bided. ( Read more... )

So today I'll trust you with the confidence
Of a man who's never known defeat
And I'll try my best to just forget
That that man isn't me

Today I left for Edmonton to finish the final packing. After what can only be described as a herculean effort to catch up with my editing, I can proudly say that I am actually, honestly caught up as of this morning. I ( Read more... )

On a lonely day I look out on the freeway
I can fantasize 'bout the car I'd drive
Don't leave the light on, I can find my way
It's been so long now, I have to say

I have decided to try focusing on blogging briefly so that it happens more often, so here goes what's brief, for me anyway. The biggest item of note today is that I drove to Saskatoon after ( Read more... )

Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid?

Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn’t done what I did?

Will I joke around and still dig those sounds

When I grow up to be a man

I have had that Beach Boys song stuck in my head for probably about 60 hours or more now. It's just starting to get a teensy bit old now. Guess it's time to replace ( Read more... )

Tried to forget when I left this town
But it takes me right back when I come back around

This Canada Day long weekend I enjoyed a wonderful, not too busy time in Saskatoon with lots of my closest family and friends, it was a really lovely opportunity to have some much longer, more in-depth conversations about life. I got to meet the fiancee of one of ( Read more... )

Gravity is workin' against me
Oh, and gravity wants to bring me down...
Just keep me where the light is
I wanted to provide some sort of compendium of things that have been happening in my life since... well, New York. Or mid-April. Or, well, since I stopped posting a lot. Which was a LOOOOONG time ago. It's almost the middle of 2011. Crazy. So here's ( Read more... )
