To My Fellow Bloggers

May 17, 2018

Don’t write to be read, Follow your heart not your head. Always be open to inspiration, Don’t get bogged down by frustration. You can’t always force the words to come out, Wait until you have something to talk about. Patience is key with this blogging stuff, You’ll have that light-bulb moment soon enough. Just keep … More To My Fellow Bloggers

Bienvenido A 2018

January 1, 2018

The clock’s struck 12 and 2017 is officially done, As we recollect our year’s worth of memories, would we say we’ve lost or won? Well I can safely say that we’ve all had our share of ups and downs, Laughter and smiles mixed with tears and frowns. Because such is the nature of life, all … More Bienvenido A 2018

Mi Sobrino

November 30, 2017

That faint dimple in your left cheek that only makes an appearance when you’re either bursting with happiness or being cheeky.

Just A Boy

January 12, 2017

You’re keen one minute, a ghost the next, Drunk calling at 3am, but still ignoring my last text. Sending me snaps 24/7 when you’re away, Seriously dude, are you feeling okay?! I told you my intentions and you said that you agreed, Said you were more than happy to take it slow, whatever I need. … More Just A Boy

My Dad

September 4, 2016

Furrowed brow and hardened hands, Tough as nails exterior, now that’s a real man. Strong opinions, an unwavering gaze, Abstains from laughter for days and days. This is the way that you’ve always been, Although a gentler side I’ve occasionally seen. Like when you talk about your parents or the grandkids are around, Your demeanour softens, … More My Dad

Be Yourself

August 17, 2016

Be weird, Be crazy, Be cheeky, Be lazy!   Be messy, Be loud, Be rambunctious, Be proud!   Be silly, Be dramatic, Be funny, Be enigmatic!   Be authentic, do you, that’s what life’s all about, And if anyone tells you different, just tune them out!
