Back into Normalcy

I’m hoping that this week is a time of starting a-fresh. Not necessarily forgetting, because I never want to forget my beautiful Nana and gorgeous Gran-Nan, but I need to get up and get back to the normal, mundane life. It’s funny how when something crazy like this happens, you wish so much for that boring life you had before. I will think twice before wishing for excitement within my life, and will make my wishes more specific because the last 2-3 weeks have been more than enough for this year.

Not only have these major events occurred, but my sister got major food poisoning on the day she was supposed to visit for my brother’s birthday, and my cousin was almost in a major car accident – if it hadn’t been for her swerving at the right moment, she probably would have been killed or at least severely injured.

I just need some “time out” from life right now – it’s all becoming so overwhelming – and while I know it’s difficult to not dwell on the rotten things that happen in life, sometimes you need to pay some attention to the shit that happens around you, because it makes appreciating those wonderful things that little bit easier. You never know what you’ve got till it’s gone, that kind of thing.

I thank the Gods for my family, my friends, and in some cases complete strangers who supported us though the events of the last couple of weeks. The energy field of love and support is so strong that I can literally feel it. Thank you.

Late night rambles, but you know – that’s what this site is for.

Sway

A song I’ve loved since I first heard it in 1997. Although I was only 9 years old when this song came out, it resonated with me, and still does on so many levels. It’s just a beautiful song and I have to share it.

Don’t stray
Don’t ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better
Of me sometimes
When you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
Don’t let me drown
Let me down
I say it’s all because of you
And here I go
Losing my control
I’m practising your name
So I can say it to your face it doesn’t seem right
To look you in the eye
And let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth indeed it’s time
Tell you why
I say its infinitely true

Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you

And there’s no cure
And no way to be sure
Why everything’s turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now
It all turns sour
Come sweeten
My every afternoon

Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
It’s all because of you
It’s all because of you

Writer’s Block

I’m quite often sitting at my computer, but it rarely occurs to me that I should be spending the time posting to my blog. I mean, I’ve spent this money to host and pay for a domain, and other than the occasional theme change and a post about the new house, my site gets utilised. I’d really like to make more of an effort around here, and I could make all the excuses – work, housework, shopping for groceries, going out – but you know what? Today I did absolutely nothing except sit on my ass, play games, watch TV, then cooked dinner. Why didn’t I take the time to write a blog post? I do have some theories.

1) Twitter. Now that I’m using Twitter pretty much daily, I find myself using that more often to talk about my daily life.

2) Facebook. The same reasons above, I’m using that more often, and thus there’s less that I feel I should be writing about on my blog.

3) Michael. No, it’s not that he prevents me from blogging. It’s more that because he’s in my life, I have someone to share my days with, and again I feel there’s less to talk about in a blog entry.

What do you guys think? For those of you who are regular bloggers, how do you come up with things to say on a daily (sometimes more) basis? I need something to cure this writer’s block.
