Reality TV is the opiate of the masses. Expanding waistbands and compressed sofa springs. Junk food and junk sitcoms. We see the stars from here, gazing into a gilded future of our own construction. We follow in the footsteps of celebrities and drop-outs, visionaries and maniacs, dream-weavers and hope-destroyers. (more…)
The new beginning
It wasn’t glamorous. Returning to the city he’d known so well when he was trying to live like everybody else; before his own path had been forged and he’d ventured over the horizon.

We are living a dichotomy.

Older, wiser, stronger
The army was growing. Spurred on by the consistent, relentless ticking of the clock, he knew it was time to push on. The music was there and he’d stood up to the heat of the spotlights, but the dream still hadn’t turned into reality. He could feel it – it was within his grasp – but as he reached out he noticed that his hands were becoming weathered. (more…)
The blue horizon
The blue horizon stretches on, as if it will never cease. A horizon represents so many things and conjures so many pictures, so as I sit here and watch it stretch endlessly, I find myself hopelessly hopeful. I am lost in the blue of the blue sky and the blue sea and the blue horizon, falling into the blue and feeling blue in the big blue ocean. (more…)
Following the Irish legacy
You’ve heard the story before. Beats, the pounding rhythms that capture our youth and propel us on a musical journey through high school, awaken us to a new world. Hairs standing on end, lyrics reverberating around our minds and melodies begging to be hummed. Everybody went through it. But something broke through the din of the music of the day. (more…)
Beyond the horizon
It was late 1993. The constellation of Leo rose through the night sky like the burning morning Sun as his dream lay just out of focus.

He was so young, so naïve, so stupid.
