  In my dreams

  It's the last day on earth
  In my dreams
  It's the end of the world
  And you've come back to me

  In my dreams
  
  In my head I replay our conversations
  Over and over til they feel like hallucinations
  You know me? I love to lose my mind

  
  And every time

  anybody speaks your name

  I still feel the same
  I ache, I ache, I ache

  inside.

  Wow - I can hardly believe that I'm writing a blog, its been such a long time, I thought these days were behind me!

  So much has changed in my life since last time I was here, new job, new town, new people... maybe even a different La?

  I'd love to hear how everybody is... do you remember me? Or has it been too long?

  I suppose one of the most important things that has happened is that I fell in love... and had my heart broken. Hasn't everyone been there? But, it hurts... enough to make me want to avoid it ever happening again! It was a case of wrong person, wrong time, wrong place... wrong everything! But that's me all over, learning through my bad decisions.

  I thought I might go back to writing a movie review here and there, maybe tossing a blog and an episode review on occasionally as well. I've missed this place, even if its not the place it used to be. I notice that I've been a member for 2 years and about 3 months - doesn't time fly.

  Regardless, this is where we are at. Look forward to hearing from you.

  That's all she wrote.

  For some reason I can't explain...

  I used to rule the world
  Seas would rise when I gave the word
  Now in the morning I sleep alone
  Sweep the streets I used to own

  
  

  

  So, its a new year... 2009. Many things are not as I thought they would be if you had asked me 6 months ago where I would be right now. My whole life has changed, not to mention the changes we have seen around here. Sadly, I have just visited FrakkingFrakker's blog and we have also lost a truly amazing and very special friend of mine, John. Ralph was really my first true friend on this site and he has been a huge presence for a long time... he will be sorely missed.

  Last year I did a full New Year blog outlining the highs and lows of 2007, the milestones of the year, and what I wanted to achieve in 2008. You never know what life is going to bring and there is no way I could have been prepared for all the experiences of 2008, so this year all I want is to have a year that I can be proud of, where I made more good decisions than bad ones, where I made more friends than enemies, and where I actually achieve something, rather than ran around in circles for another 12 months.

  I hope to keep seeing movies, and working on improving my review skills. I'm also going to try to keep up my reviews on here, by writing them as I watch the episodes, and loading them whenever I get a chance to log on to someone's internet. One thing that 2008 has really shown me is just how passionate I am about writing and reviewing films (and tv shows) and that is a positive thing that I want to take with me this year.

  

  I received the first season of HEROES for Christmas and have watched the first 6 episodes. I am very very impressed and can't wait to get through the rest of the show. I find it to be very original and very intriguing, with the story unfolding with plenty of suspense and intrigue. Once I have been through the whole season I will go back and start rewatching to get my thoughts on paper.

  Right now I am stuck in a very small country town where we are waiting for flood waters to go down to travel on to our next destination... a fairly funny story really, and not where I expected to be right now! I really do take the long way round...

  For some reason I can't explain
  Once you go there was never
  Never an honest word
  And that was when I ruled the world

  Cos everyone's singing...

  Standing out...

  So you won't forget my name
  

  
  

  Gone... but also forgotten? I guess time is all it takes to be forgotten in a big way! I made a huge move in my life 11 weeks ago, and moved cities to start a new job. Unfortunately, where I am now living I don't have any kind of internet access, which basically cut all my tv.com time from my world... which is something I never really came to terms with.
  
  Life is fantastic, hugely challenging. I am now the fittest I have been in a long time, and my new job/path is working out well. I've fit it really well and made some very special new friends. I can't really say anymore about it, so I will just have to leave it at that.
  
  I am back in my home town for Christmas, which is how I am online again. I thought seeing as I had some time I might write a quick Christmas blog, just to see who around this place remembers me!
  
  2008 has been a crazy year. Lots of ups and downs. It has been the biggest learning year of my whole life. I feel like a different person, a much older person. My life has taken me in a lot of directions over the last few years, and I can only trust that it is all part of bigger plan that I am on.

  

  The one real constant in my life has remained my music and Xena. I have had so much growth as a fan this year through the forum and my outside discussions with Ian, who has opened my eyes to so many possibilities. I look forward to another year as a fan.
  
  
  I want to dedicate this blog to Rob and to Lindsey, two of the most important people in my life. I think about Rob so often and will never forget any of the time we spent together. Linds is one of the strongest and best people I've ever met, and after the year we have had, I know that nothing could bind us closer.
  
  The next 5 months will be challenging, but I think I'm over the worst of it all now. Then next May will see another move, to another new town, and another new adventure. No one could ever say my life is boring!
  
  So... for now, just reminding that I'm taking the long way round...
  
  Merry Christmas to all of you in tv.com land... even though I've been gone for a while, the time I've spent here over the last 18 months means more to be than I can say.

  I wished I was smarter
  I wished I was stronger
  I wished I loved Jesus
  The way my wife does
  I wish it had been easier
  Instead of any longer
  I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud
  But that won't happen now
  That won't happen now
  
  There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
  Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
  Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
  She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
  Top of the world
  
  I don't have to answer any of these questions
  Don't have no God to teach me no lessons
  I come home in the evening
  Sit in my chair
  One night they called me for supper
  But I never got up
  I stayed right there in my chair
  
  There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
  Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
  Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
  She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
  Top of the world
  
  I wished Id a known you
  Wished Id a shown you
  All of the things I was on the inside
  Id pretend to be sleeping
  When you come in, in the morning
  To whisper good-bye
  Go to work in the rain
  I don't know why
  Don't know why
  
  cause everyone's singing
  We just wanna be heard
  Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
  Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird
  Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now
  
  To the top of the world
