Belongings
Sometimes it makes me terribly sad, that everyone doesn't just fall in love once and stay in love. Wouldn't it be nice? Curled up inside each other like sleeping kittens. And I think even if you do find that person, that 100% perfect other, you still change, both of you, and hopefully the changes still allow you to stay in love, those two new people just as compatible as the people you were when you met and fell in love.
You know that pain in your gut when someone you've loved loves someone else? That forlorn feeling of "not me, not me, not me"? No, it's not you. But it's not your ex-lover either. Not the one you knew, not exactly. Not the same dance, not at all, even when it looks the same. How can it be, when you aren't there to do it? No one is as good at being you as you are. And he wanted you once. Your lover has changed, changed into someone that wants someone else, not you, not you, not you.

Gabriel and the Vagabond
There's a man in the corner and his clothes are worn
And he's holding out his hand
You could see in his eyes as the people walk by
He knows they don't understand
Ya see they just think he's gonna take their money
And go and spend it all on dope
Then a man stopped by and I saw a smile inside him
As he gently whispered hope
Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying,
"Why? why? why?
Could you see I'm a dying tonight
Well I'm 32 and I've got this one pair of shoes
And a bad taste in my mouth
I think it's clear to see that even God don't love me
Or else why would He leave me this way."
Then Gabriel just smiled and said be peaced my child
Salvation is here today
He got up to his feet and he sang Hallelujah
People were turning around in the street
He looked them in the eyes and he sang,
"Hallelujah
There's someone here that you gotta meet
Someone you just gotta meet."
When the vagabond turned around well without a sign
Gabriel just smiled and disappeared
Then he looked to the crowd and they were laughing out loud
But he could not see them fore tears
When his vision came round
There was a young girl on the ground
I knew she was fine and hard to cope
She never was a fighter until he laid beside her
And gently whispered hope
They got up to their feet and they sang Hallelujah
People in the street were turning around
They looked them in the eyes and they sang,
"Hallelujah
There's someone here we have found"
They sang,
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We are the voices crying in the wilderness
Hallelujah, Hallelujah."
The people in the street started their sins to confess
And a chorus of,
"Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Every knee will bow and every tongue confess
and the voice of one crying in the wilderness
crying Hallelujah, Hallelujah"
And he's holding out his hand
You could see in his eyes as the people walk by
He knows they don't understand
Ya see they just think he's gonna take their money
And go and spend it all on dope

Seriously unsettled.
I have had a world wind 4 months. One month in Uganda, Two months in Majorca and now I'm nearly into 3 weeks living in Birmingham; A city where I know very few, have no job and don't quite feel at home as yet.
I have been making plans to save the world. Plans to do what I can for others but I can't seem to get the motivation or direction. I feel everso slightly useless and lost.
I need a trip home to get inspired and encouraged by those who know and love me.

Subway
This is a blog to promote the 24 Hour Subway on The Dublin Road in Belfast.
It is brill.
It hasn’t been an overly long period of time since we found out that it is infact a 24-hour food place but boy have we made up for lost time. You can find us in it at around 2-3am, two out of seven nights a week making friends, singing to the employees, entertaining the bouncer (yes, they have a bouncer) with our dance moves and munching into a 6” hearty Italian with chicken, lettuce and mayonnaise followed by a chocolate chip cookie.
My mouth is definitely watering.
So folks, gather your Mums, Dads, Grannies, Granda’s, Friends, Spouses, Neighbours, Cousins, Cats and head down for an unforgettable experience.
