Some Thoughts - 1

Status Updates / Quotes from the HYDE ROCK fan page, written by Hyde:

On the far climb to the top of the Mountain, forget not to stop & smell the Edelweiss. =)

it's fear that destroys ones inner being. imagine the great things you can accomplish when you try to conquer the things that hold you back.

Never relinquish the things you desire. You require only a strong belief and commitment to your goals.

Expect nothing. hope for the best. ☼♪♫

♫ What in the World would we do without Music? ♪

If there's something you want badly, or you want to turn out differently, imagine yourself doing the very things that you only dream of doing, & changing towards that direction. Then work on going to that path, truly see yourself doing it. You can create your own, new tomorrow. The first step is believing in yourself.

Sometimes you get to a stage or age in your life where you think it's too late for you to 'wish' and 'dream'. The things you hoped to do seem lost and 'too late'. Nothing can be further from the truth! If there's a will and strong belief in yourself & your wish, you can make it happen! No time for regrets, go do it...! Make it happen. You'll love yourself for it.

Never concern yourself with other people's opinions or judgements about you. There will always be someone who has something to say. Live your life fully. Do what's the best by you, pleases you & makes you happy, and act without fear. Simply, your life is your own. So own it.

If something seems too risky & you're uncertain, you're probably better off doing it. Just go for it. The risk is worth more than the unknowing & future regret.

Be grateful for everything, every day. From the chair you sit on to the roof over your head. Be thankful for life's simple pleasures & for what you have, never of what you don't have. Each of us have a gift, each of us are blessed.

Be grateful for all the things that happen in your life. The good and the bad. Through our experiences we learn, we grow and become stronger, better people. And heck, it sure makes for good music!

Never sacrifice your entire life to only work and ideals. The most important thing in this life is to bring happiness to others, love and forgive. The gifts you give are the same you'll receive.

Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out.

Life is a journey with many paths; we can change our own destiny simply at our own chosing. Sometimes I feel like I'm on a high-seated bicycle with training wheels. Take the steering wheel with both hands with no fear. Live completely.

Expand your wings, prepare for flight ^i^

When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side.

If there were no hope for a tomorrow, how would you make today better? Live every day as if it were your last. 'Cause one day, it will be.

Believe with all your ♥

If you can dream it, you can do it. Fight for your dreams, and your dreams will fight for you.. Have a wonderful weekend ♥

Simple, kind gestures go a long way. Be good to those you care about, what you give is what you get back. Love each other unconditionally. Life is too short for BS!

Creativity is bleeding out of me at the moment ...

Nothing makes me more proud than things like listening to the kids, while in the back of our auto, singing in harmony to my music.... ♥

Is it SO wrong to crank your own funkay music while driving? =DD

LISTEN

The Earth shook and divided, rising the above; where the waters crawl and reach the shores.
Mist evaporating in the sky, the rapids white - who simultaneously crashed in choreographic form, each by each, storm by angry storm; charged at the treading soldiers of the sea. Blissfully, fearfully, we lift our bodies submissively, to her command, bowing merciful to her authority. Make no false moves, she abides by no rules, a part of this weary World you must listen.

Along The Shore

This is a sketch of a song I wrote back in 2008.
It is spoken by myself in a song that I'm collaborating on with Don Schiff.
All photographs & art are also created by me. Thanks for listening.

ALONG THE SHORE

(My Place In This World)

"So many times I walked along the shore
On a sandy beach
The angry waters crashing (and)
The sun kissing it’s rapids
Blinding my sight

My feet embedded in the sand
Leaving a mark of where I’ve been
A small piece of history
Only for the waters to erase what is behind me
No one noticed but me

Sometimes I look back and don’t understand
Other times I’m glad for this
I pray for this
Wash, wash it all away

Funny thing about the ocean
It’s so powerful in strength
In scent, In sound, In sight
Even in taste
You don’t even have to touch it to notice any of those things
It surrounds you, and you become a part of it

The waters are seemingly endless
Looking upon it’s horizon
It encompasses so much of our world
Yet we take it for granted
Wash, wash me away

So I walk yet again
And sometimes I take steps back into my old
Thinking of it’s comfort
But fear it’s consequence
The waters keep changing, so why can’t I ?

Onward again, many journeys ahead
Many footsteps to lead my way
And I’m sure, many I will leave behind
That wherever it brings me
I’ll surely know then
My place in this world"

Descending

"And the rapids rage against the shore. Beads of sand wrap around my feet and ankles, trapped in foam. The water rushes past me; I slowly descend into the sands. I feel my body being pulled as the waters wash back into the sea. I'm spinning, light-headed and smiling... unsure if I'm being moved or if it's an illusion; anticipating the next wave, and how far I'll descend before I'll want to escape..." ~ hYdE rOcK

Spirits in Fete

"The winter wind blows across the sea, curving it's waves mightily. Ne'er does she sleep in the storm, always waiting for the glorious warmth; Where the gulls fly o'er and cast shadows on her sands, from the blue-green hues and across her beachland. Bring back the sun we patiently wait, where days are ever so long, as we embrace her with spirits in fete" ~ hYdE rOcK
