Now to the 63rd video. Finally I've got up to date with my videos.
This is one of my own songs and it is titled "Sight Or Sound".
I have written poetry since I was a child, and one thing I liked to do was make a puzzle out of them, and hide things within the words.
So it's no surprise really, that those elements ended up in some of my songs. This song is a good example of that. In the description, I ask people to work out what the song means, and if they can discover all the links within the song and the video. I have only given the answers to those that have asked. I like it that some know, and some don't.
I wrote this song last year, and recruited the help of a very good friend, and extremely talented guitarist called "Steve Morgan". He has just got married, so I wish him the best for the future.
So I hope you enjoy the song, and the wonderful skills of Steve.

So I got there in the end. I've caught up with my video releases. So I'm not too sure what the next post will be about. I'll know once I've decided what song to upload. It might be an Original song, or one of the masses of cover songs that have been requested of me. Over 100 now I think :)
I've almost got used to life as a Partially-Sighted American, although this morning, I tried to take my glasses off when I walked in from the cold. I've heard that blind people can have powerful visual hallucinations, but I really want to know if anything has been written about what seriously nearsighted people see when they can't see what they would like to be seeing.
Colors seem to have been the first thing to go. I have even more of a problem recognizing and remembering them than I do when I can actually see. It's almost like my eyes (and my brain) don't want to take the time to concentrate on mundane things like shade... it's enough for them to realize that there's a big car-shaped blob moving right at me (true story) because I've accidentally wandered off the sidewalk, without worrying about whether it's silver, black, or sky-blue pink. And there's even been a few times where everything was... well, not precisely black and white, but colorless, at least until I focussed.
Ronnie's been my seeing eye dog, and I really hope I have my eyes back before she leaves. (Actually, since she's leaving next month, I hope for other reasons... many of them involving my continued sane existence... that I have eyes.) Of course, she makes fun of my situation constantly, and today she told my coworker that I seemed to be running into things a lot less than when I was a Sighted merican. She has a point... I do have quite a few stitches in my noggin, and I can't quite blame them all on the house that I lived in in Japan. Even though after three years, IU was still forgetting to duck sometimes when I went from room to room. Where was I?
Anyway, think I'm going to attempt some more Math homework, though I've been doing nothing at work except stare (very closely) at numbers. Nothing too big going on in the outside world outside of some awesome pictures of gold atoms. I've always, since I was un piccolo bambino, wanted to see atoms, and I'm so incredibly happy that I can finally say that. Then again, they look exactly as I thought they'd look so I'm not sure if I should feel validated or disappointed.
Thoughts race through my mind as sure as u r there typing in reply to what I say.... life flashes before the one who’s closest to death but flashes quicker to those who chose to look back..... time is slow at times but when it's fast u wish that moment could never end.... if only I am granted the ability to look into the future and see the good things ahead.... I may have something I could believe in something to look forward to... but sadly all I am granted is the ability to look back on the few fun times I had.... and the many sad I times I had..... I see this in my own eyes as I look into the mirror sadness a pain.... a whole that has yet to be filled.... help me please......
hey everybody! I'm almost finished with statistics class - another teacher and I worked from about noon today until 11:30 tonight! I don't think I've ever spent this much time on a class - not even writing my first three chapters of my thesis. The irony of it all is that I might only pull a B - I think I'm still in the running for an A, but it depends how my final goes.
I'm sorry I've been ignoring all of you that have made comments and that have added me as a friend. I'm hoping to be back in the 'real " world soon, if that's a good thing or not. I will talk to all of you soon! right now, I need to sleep so I can finish writing everything up in the next couple of days.
love
