i get worse and worse at updating blogs. what is a boy to do.
here are some of my involvements as of late:
- http://eightfourteen.tumblr.com - a house blog, that covers the ups and downs of me and my roommates, in our hopeless pursuit of life, love and illegally downloaded movies.
- http://www.storiesofoceans.com - matthew and i finished our record, and it can be downloaded off our website for free. neat, no?
thats all i got kids. no deep insights; i'm too tired to be able to put down anything to words. in the meantime, go enjoy a nice sit underneath a tree.

tonight was a good night
so you know those parties where you don't really know everyone, so you keep really quiet, and don't go out of your way to make a big scene? this was one of those parties, but it sure didn't end up that way. my throat is gone, mostly from all the david bowie, beatles and andy shauf songs sung so loudly, and with so many other people. that's what community is all about: singing loudly, with a group of good people.
so the moral of the story is this: always sing loud when you're in a group of people you don't know, and always smile really big and laugh at how ridiculous you're acting. the night can't go bad if you follow this.

an alright start
so, here we are.
i'm writing a novel, and it's called 'moving backwards'. i'm really excited about the fact that i've actually been able to sit down and stick to it. i think at least half of the people i know have said, "yeah, i'm writing a novel" and then they eventually forget about it. i've been done it myself, too many times to count. i guess i like the idea that i'm finally seeing something through. i would love to share some of it with you, but i don't want to post any until i'm done it. either way, the feedback i've been getting has been good, and i'm excited to see where it goes. in 'waling on water', madeline l'engle talks about how there have been works she's done where the characters start to do things unexpectedly, and she wonders why, or how, it happened. that's happened to me, and i really can't explain it, but i know it's a crazy feeling. i don't know if it's a good sign, or if it's anything at all, but it's still cool.
the summer has been a gray, rainy one so far. i think it's rained every day for the past week, which has been a total drag. bc in june; i'd rather be in the prairies.
i've been thinking back to times in europe a lot lately. as grateful as i am to be home, i'd really love to be back at some of the spots i visited. iona has been on my mind this week; i miss the the feeling of being in the chapel. the cold stone walls and floor, or the way the sun shone in through the windows on easter morning. i miss sherry and eva, and our late night tea and conversations. i know that it would be great to go back, but when i think about it, i realize that i want to go back to that specific moment. it makes me wonder about nostalgia, and how easy it is to get stuck in it. it's crazy to look back, and see all the different generations pining for 'better times', and how nostalgia seems to grasp all of us at least one point in our life. maybe that's the one thing that connects all of us, the fact that we all have moments that we wish we could go back to. i think we're just confusing memories with the idea of home, and since each one of us is so desperately longing for home, nostalgia can be such a warm blanket.
as always, i'm listening to plenty of beautiful, inspiring music. here are some lovely bands to fall for: anathallo; dustin o'halloran; fleet foxes.
i'll leave you tonight with a video of the song that has been consuming my life, these days. enjoy, and good night.

starting anew.
because of internet annoyances, i decided to get rid of the old blog, and start using this one. as you have nothing to read here, go check out some of these places:
a townhouse and traffic | a vintage valentine | moments | art is for the birds | one, two bicycles, three four | just for the kingdom
see you soon!
