We face the path of time

Do you remember the days when the dust blew by as the wind held us in it's ungentle caress? When in that early spring we dared to dream and our passion's future saw the world at our feet and glory round our heads. Time has taught us a few lessons since then, but still we dream; our hopes not now for us, but for our children. We yearn for their happiness and prosperity.

Enough trying to be deep . . it's St. Patrick's Day and I hope it's a jolly good one for you all! I've just spent some time reading over my previous entries here and remembering the times in which they were written. A strange path of memories that. But, maybe not so strange, given that life itself can be rather strange. I'm given to reminiscing today thinking of times and friends past, longing for good times again. Not that these days are terrible, just a bit stale. Stale days largely of my own making. I need to get a job. I need to quit being a hermit and get out and live again. Sorry to all of you with whom I've been largely uncommunicative . . it's not you, it's me.

My thoughts also turn to memories of friends and family passed, memories of happiness and good times bringing melancholy for missing them. My life is better because of them. And to the friends and family of one recently passed, I'm very sorry for not sharing my condolences and grief personally. Know that you all have been in my heart and good wishes. I've shut myself away from the world for the past season or two, largely to my detriment. It's time to get off my arse and live again. I sad that before, did I not?

It's been a season since I last posted here. In fact, one could count seasons and posts from me equally, if one were so inclined. Not that I'd advise it . . just rambling a bit here, trying to clear the awkward air.

So, some good notes from the past little while in my life . . good times spent with the kids. If you haven't seen Coraline yet, I highly recommend it. Especially in the theater . . I never knew how cool 3D could be. Makes me look forward to Ice Age 3. Also looking forward to Harry Potter 6 and hoping that its a better adaptation than the last one was.

I'll sign off for now, thanking you for your time. You all have my permission to be as Irish as you wish today.
