Disclaimer

I started blogging with Blogger in 2005 and slowed down as I reached my blogging end in 2010. I have attempted to save all the blog entries in monthly archive pages. It's quite interesting to go back and see my novice, naive enthusiasm for music making and playing, as well as travelling. I also notice that I used a lot of exclamation marks! I must have been excited. For a while, anyway... I note that I slowed down quite a bit from 2008 onward; the momentum of my first batch of songs—written, released, and toured—had worn off. Also, I was amidst my first real bout of homesickness—I was living in New Zealand. A couple other things to note. Some of my spelling is American rather than British/Canadian (I'm Canadian). Regrettably, I note that I used the word "tits" a lot—for a while—without being conscious of how senseless, unnecessary, and thoughtless doing so was. Please take what you read with these grains of salt. Return to the root/index of the blog.

Taking a break

I've been slack; I don't have much to say on my blog. You'll have to excuse me - after 2.5 months of freezing my ass of in Wellington, New Zealand, I am now getting sucked into surf-time in Burleigh Heads (Gold Coast, Queensland), Australia.

Surf-time includes frolicking in the warm surf, eating ripe mangoes, papaya, passionfruit, and lychees, rehearsing music on the beach, walking through a nearly-rain-forest, chilling with Merz, Chopper, B-lair, Azza, Jezza, Lisa, etc., and moderately drinking Coopers Pale Ale.

Oh, how I wish I could work and live here.
