its been awhile, i apologize.
this past week has been a tad lonely with my rommie being super busy and not seeing her much...i gotta master the being alone thing on my nights again...its a different dynamic and it kind of catches you off guard at first...but, the best things often rise from the worst situations...this past weekend, i got into some drinking and started writing and recording some music and i found it incredibily satisfying...it was the first time in a long time that i completely lost myself in something...running used to do that for me, but as i mentioned before i am on a little bit of a hiatus...so, writing and recording was a blessing this weekend...it is incredible to put something in motion and then sit back and watch it spin...this is something i am really excited about exploring and i think it could be something that will really help me through the whole running break...i am not sure if i can post anything on this blog, but when i have something complete that i feel merrits being posted on the internet i will figure something out...there are no lyrics right now, that may or may not change...i haven't mastered the art of recorded my voice yet so that could take some time...i found it quite interesting to compare the music that i created to the type of music i listen to...in a way it was completely different, but in another way it was just layers of different influences all mashed together...by no means am i a musician who is creating some sort of masterpiece, but its a creation and it is rewarding, challenging and just plain enjoyable and i look forward to more of it.
last night i was out celebrating australia day which was great fun...it was sort of inspiring to be around people who are just travelling and living life to the fullest, not caring about anything else but the present...it help put things in perspective for me...i mean it didn't change my life or anything, but it was interesting to see the difference between these people and the people i interact with on a regular basis...here's to the travellers.
i would still have to say that i am struggling with things, a few things, key points...but the sun still rises and sets each day with no sigh of slowing so that news is good news...ill keep chugging along, just to see what happens and where this train brings me...it should be exciting.

In agreement over your respect for those travelers. Especially those traveling with cause, meaning and/or hope. Some people are sewn of wild oats, some people fall into a much more stagnant home grown grain, and then you have your bread on a mission, we'll call it multi-grains for lack of a better name.
I myself am a mix of the latter two I suppose. Haven't really thrown myself off course in this short lived life. However, I also find myself pondering these lonesome evenings. For this and other reasons, I've taken to the streets and the sounds in my head and I am building something grand, that I am sure of.
Truly, it is the only thing which I can be sure of. There are so many factors in this world which influence so many systems and produce infinite outcomes. To control them all is simply impossible.
Often, the apple may not fall far from the tree. However, I'm out to determine the path it rolls once it has hit the ground. Only problem is, I can only look back at the tree as I roll into the fog!
Keep the music flowing...
