MY SPACE MUSIC

Okay, guys, check out my music space at www.myspace.com/harrytoulacis I have my music up there available for download. I'm currently also uploading it on last.fm

IT BEGINS

Okay, so I think it's about time I started this blog again. Eventually I will go through the entire thing and edit it, but for the moment, I will keep you updated. I have so many photos and I just haven't written in here due to the fact I was leaving Japan and everything was hectic, sad and most of all depressing. Yet some part of me was excited while exhaustion just wanted everything to end. I wanted to be back, I wanted it all to be over, as I hated being in a temporary limbo state, where I don't know where I belong or when I will finally settle somewhere again.

I'm back now for 22 days. I don't start work for approx another 2 weeks, so I'm still sorta just organising stuff and relaxing and doing my own thing...which I love by the way. The funny thing is that even though I am not working and I have the entire day to myself, I still don't have enough time!! What is this shit? I don't understand it. My life here seems very hectic, dealing with all the mundane things yet wanting to do something else. I need to organise myself. I need to let my previous personality, my strong, confident Capricornian self and deal with it all... Still adjusting.

BACK IN BUSINESS

So I'm back where it all spawned from. 'Home, the centre of what is my world', but is it?

Well it is, but not entirely. I used to think that the place in which you were born would always draw you to it regardless of other influential circumstances, but it this is not true. I will always have a connection with Australia, but as a human being our minds are and will be influenced by the things with do and by places we intergrate into our lives either for the briefest of moments or for a long period of time. They shape us or more correctly layer us into something new, not different to before but merely more evolved. We become and more silkier and more confusing grey.

And so our lives become more challenging, more rewarding and thus more pleasing.

A POEM INSPIRED BY A NEW FRIEND

INSPIRATION

It manifests itself in the most curious situations

Unexpected, unexplained, yet pleasing

A perfect form, creation flawless of error
Beauty, radiates and flows

A simple gesture word or sentiment
a pose, a glance, an image frozen in time

This Perfection I speak of is more than dedicated
Unspeakable effort, Indescribable Will

I watch in awe as this work unfolds
Yet Perfection knows not itself

Ironic that Inspiration can be found
In the merest of places when

If you seek, you never find it.
For Inspiration Manifests itself in the most curious situations
