Not dead. Not, in fact, deceased.

I’m alive, and in fact have been writing all this time, albeit in smaller, 140-character chunks on my Twitter account. So what happened after that fateful evening of March 15th? Well, an hour or two after writing that, I sent a message to a member on Basenotes named exquisitely_me, and the message said…

“What’s new with you? :)”

The conversation’s been going on for over two months since then, and I’ve discovered some new things, namely that I love this girl named exquisitely_me and she loves me back. The gossip was a-flyin’ when Facebook had the hot scoop around the end of March, it was the first to report that…

“Daniel is in a relationship with Diana Kotyk.”

I fell completely off the map for about eleven days starting back on the 9th of this month, the last bit of communication being a tweet that said…

“Diana is going to be in my arms in five minutes tops!”

I did manage to get off one little blurb during that time, that read…

“I am having, without reservation, the best week of my life.”

My perfume reviews have been on pen and paper, shoulder to shoulder with Diana, over a vial of fragrance, or perhaps a verbal review (also known as an ‘opinion’), soft words of like or dislike, learning, exploring, and expanding knowledge of the art. She’s encouraged me to get back into writing, though, so I trade comfortable seclusion for another round of writing for the masses.

In love. That’s where I’ve been, and in fact it’s the locale I write from even now, dear reader.… (More) “Not dead. Not, in fact, deceased.”

Blog Redesign = :D

I dunno, I’ve got dozens (hundreds?) of things I should be doing. Instead, I chose to make some mostly aesthetic changes to the blog. I know the majority of my readers are Facebookers: LOOK AT MY PRETTY BLOG. It’s pretty, etc. Thanks to Anthony at Antbag.com for the theme, though I may take some creative liberties with it. Added the Last.fm plugin because I know you care about that sort of thing.

I direct that comment to empty space because I’m pretty sure that’s the entirety of my audience.… (More) “Blog Redesign = :D”

“Don’t Put That On Your Profile!”

I’ve had about five seconds of a song stuck in my head for the past week. That sucks in itself but I only really had the general gist of the song, as opposed to anything useful in tracking it down, like…lyrics. Yeah, that’d be handy. Finally, I tried to track it down in my head on the drive home and actually did come up with one line, “I look at the cross.” Before you think this is something unlike me (ie, Christian) I’ll say that this is in the bridge of the song, and it’s whispered, I mean the bridge is downright sexy, but there’s distorted guitar throughout most of the song. Turns out that one snippet was enough because Googling it turned up, amidst the Christian refuse, one page that says…

I look at the cross
Then I look away
I give you the gun
Blow me away

That was exactly what it was, all coming back to me now. The song in question is Change (In The House Of Flies) by the Deftones. Way, way too sexy for a track that is essentially metal.

I should mention the reason behind the title of this post is because I changed my facebook profile to reflect the song, so it reads “Daniel looks at the cross, then I look away. I give you the gun…blow me away.” Apparently that’s scary or something. *shrug*

Hi Facebookers. I know you get this via the feed. Sup.… (More) ““Don’t Put That On Your Profile!””
