Disclaimer
I started blogging with Blogger in 2005 and slowed down as I reached my blogging end in 2010. I have attempted to save all the blog entries in monthly archive pages. It's quite interesting to go back and see my novice, naive enthusiasm for music making and playing, as well as for travelling. I also notice that I used a lot of exclamation marks! I must have been excited. For a while, anyway... I note that I slowed down quite a bit from 2008 onward; the momentum of my first batch of songs—written, released, and toured—had worn off. Also, I was amidst my first real bout of homesickness—I was living in New Zealand at the time.
A couple things to note. Some of my spelling is American rather than British/Canadian (I'm Canadian). Regrettably, I note that I used the word "tits" a lot—for a while—without being conscious of how senseless, unnecessary, and thoughtless doing so was. Please take what you read with these grains of salt.

The Tide is Rising
Oh stop, it's not that big of a deal! There were three short films premiering that night, the final product of the 2006 graduating class of The Film School. Actually, it was a bit exciting - I wrote the soundtrack for the first film, titled "The Tide is Rising"!
I sat in a rear-ish seat (it was quite full, several hundred peeps) and took in the moment - the glory - and as the film began, I immediately thought, "Wow, I wish we'd recorded the soundtrack better!" And, "Not bad for a week-end's work!" Alas, it was cool to see a movie in a grand theatre, knowing that I wrote the soundtrack for the film.... with my friend Vorn... he wrote the bass line for the scene where Jenny is walking along the street.
The film's editor has made it available on YouTube, so you can check it out!
