two thousand and nine

Love, hate, hope, falling, heartbreak, bitterness, anger, voice, reason, faith, sadness, death, beauty, smiles, isolation.




It was a big year and one I'll remember for many to come. A year mainly spent on my own without most of my music and art to get me through, a year of planning for the future, the year I actually fell in love, the year I finally managed to shed a tear, the year I stuck strong to my true friends and family, the year I stood back in the shadows and witnessed alot of bullshit around me. The year I realised by the end of it that everything was in its right place.

As I enter the new year smiling still with heaviness in my heart I smile as I look around and witness the beautiful things in life like becoming a godfather and seeing my best mate step up to the father role. My best friend moving back home to help me take one last big shot with my music. A band happy enough to let me rock out and gig with again. New direction with my business plans, photography and modelling and locked in adventures around the world.

This year is not only the start but a second chance at taking on and changing the world so readers, lurkers, stalkers, admirers, lovers, haters and believers...you've been warned!
