its official

So it is finally official... i am in love... about a year ago i discovered a band who have been around for about 3 years, called Starsailor. I posted a thing about them on this blog but I dont think it was very insightful.. just mentioning that I liked their stuff.. so since then I have been getting more and more into them and with their recent release I have come to the conclusion that they are probably my favourite band out there at this point in time. I don't usually have favourites.. but always have one band that I am getting into at any one point in time.

Its funny because they haven't really made it in Australia, but in the UK they are all the rave. Australian music lovers are usually all over the UK scene, but this band seem to have slipped through without much notice.. and Im kinda glad because it means no overkill on the radio etc.. but.. i am not one to be greedy.. so I share around the good music that I stumble across.. and these guys are definitely worth checking out if you are up for some melodic rock with smooth sounds of Tim Buckley inspired vocals. James Walsh (vocals) has such a unique sound.. I absolutely love it. Anyhow, enough of me carrying on about them.. now its in your court.. check them out and let me know your thoughts :-)

She Just Wept

She just wept
Like I could not ignore
How can I act
When my heart's on the floor?

She just wept
'Til her eyes became sore
I knew who she was
But I don't anymore

She just cried
To the ruins of time
That kept us apart
We were doing just fine

She just wept
She was put to the test
Those that she loved
She had learned to detest

Daddy I've got nothing left
My life is good
My love's a mess

netiquette

Work has been quite interesting lately. I'm loving my job- but getting quite passionate about things to come. It seems that being content, happy, challenged but comfortable, and satisfied is not enough... I still know there is more to come and although this is a great little job I've landed, there is more!

I am having to do a bit of a self edit and moral check in recent times.. It seems that my values and beliefs don't quite line up with those of the organisation I work in.. or perhaps they do line up but the process of embracing those beliefs and values doesn't line up with how I personally choose to live them out. I'm finding myself getting a bit high and mighty about it all and thinking I'm right and they are mislead- but I am just as failable as the next man. So- I am having a bit of an inner battle between my morals and my work ethic.. And then there is the whole "there is more" thing.

It's such a bizarre circumstance to be completely satisfied with my job, loving the people and the position and everything about it... But still wanting that something more.

I love the challenges I'm facing re the values and morals because when you have to fight for your beliefs you really have to be sure of them and that takes a lot of self editing and reality checks.. So I live for those opportunities to extend my faith and need to call on god for his wisdom and grace and such. I live for those moments.

I guess this post is an unorganised, unedited, ramble about my life and where it's at.

Consider yourself updated, loved, missed, and lucky to read such a damn sexy blog.

kosher

where I stand
and how I say this
-its just not kosher-

defying the rules of society
we make our own and that's alright with me
b
u
t
-its just not kosher-

they whisper their secrets of their desire to be with you
suggesting they are the only ones who really do
I nod and smile, but all the while
-its just not kosher-

how dare they try to make that claim
when the secrets I hear are all the same

you're a gift to this world
but a bastard to love
because every eye you've looked into
thinks there's something there to continue...


...and then there's me.
the most foolish of them all
if I couldn't run to you, I'd damn well get down and crawl

and you like it that way
or so it seems
because when I finally shut you out
you're back; pursuing my dreams

I will keep denying it until this ridiculous idea is over
because someone like you with someone like me...?!
Its just not kosher.

for me to be

The somersaults take my breath away
Each time I'm unprepared
A tiny cage of emotion- i won't let it out!
But it has it's way of letting me know it's there

It turns me weak
To hear your words -reverberating
Echoing through my thoughts
Addictive, cliché and simply ridiculous
But it is there, I can't ignore it

Please leave me alone
I don't want to feel
I'd rather reason- and reason says 'no'.
But what say have I got?
I've been 'saying' for years
It's got me nowhere-it's time to stop

So I'll wait
And hope
And trust
And try
To kill the gymnast inside my tummy
But I will probably wait
Wait just as before
Until I realise you are waiting for me
To be the one you are waiting for.

still

there is no time
where the maker rests
but still, he waits for me
no tick of the clock
no start nor finish
but still, not a second to waste

there is no grudge
where the maker rests
but still, he knows my heart
I deserve nothing from him
no blessing nor glory
but still, his grace prevails

there is no language
where the maker rests
but still, he speaks to me
with words of fire
not written nor spoken
but still, his words I receive

there are no tears
where the maker rests
but still, he weeps for me
when I am too proud to cry out
not intentional nor planned
but still, he intentionally plans for me

break that

when she is your treasure
you will find her,
in the same place you found change.

seeking out counterfeits
do you desire to pursue your faults?
temping, not true
but something all the same.

lose your preconceived ideas
and you may just find the you that got lost.
