The End

It's funny. As I look through the things I used to write on this blog, I can see a part of myself that I once wanted to come out. A part of me that needed to be heard in order for myself to develop. A person that at one point I wasn't. Looking back, I realize that I created this persona, and this blog, in order to become who I wanted to be. And I succeeded. In these writings and the attitude they had, I formed myself.

Yet, once I got there, as always happens, I found that it wasn't a destination. Merely another point along the journey. And as with all points, I had to keep moving after I had rested there for a little. Granted, THS is still inside of me, but he's only a part. I'm older now. Wiser. Though I still do have these thoughts, I've found more and more that I've been keeping them in my notebooks as opposed to a web page. And I don't know if it's bad or good, but it's time to move on. So know that I'll still be around, just no longer on this page.

Basically I'm just saying what's been true for a while. I'm not writing on here anymore because this blog has accomplished its purpose. I have become, and will always be, in one form or another, the Highland Sage. I'm going to keep writing, but this just isn't a good format anymore. Keep a weather eye out, I'll be back someday, in a different way, when you least expect me. So with that this is Dominic Blanchard, the Highland Sage, signing off for the last time.

Random Thoughts From a Highland Sage

The End

Bands

So recently, I've really discovered two bands that I find I really like. They are The Script, and Lifehouse. I like the script's style, and they have some songs I really like.(The Man Who Can't Be Moved & Breakeven) Lifehouse just has really deep songs, which is something I look for, which brings me to another point. Just the other day I realized how much more I identify with the language arts than the fine arts. It explains why I prefer rock/pop/songs with words to classical music. I love music, not so much for the tune, but more for the poetry set to the tune. Which I think is why I have such eclectic taste as far as style of music goes. I mean, not that a song with a catchy tune won't catch my attention, but the songs that have really stuck with me are the ones with meaning in their words. And in fact I can only think of one song without words that really holds special meaning for me, which is more do to the memories I have attached with it.

Ah, the beauty of words,
floating through air,
into my senses,
ensnaring me there.
In thoughts, of all things.

Today

Well, just wanted to post a few reflections I've had about living in the present. Really it's the only way to live, because the present is the only place we are fully in existence. If you dwell on tomorrow, you'll always be worried that you'll mess it up, and if you dwell in yesterday you'll often think of what could have been had you only done this or that. Niether is productive or cunducive to bringin one closer to God, therefore, one ought to live in the now. Think of the past no more than you need in order to draw from experience, and think of the future no more than you need to in order to be prepared for descisions that come up. Above all, seek god's presence in the moment, and the past, present, and future all fall into place. It's 11:38, and you are loved.

He's BACK!!!

Well, it's taken a long time, but I've finally recaptured the Blog from seussir. Suesser. Whatever. He's been banished to the sludge of code that flows through the bowels of the internet. And so now I'm back. The funny thing is, I haven't got anything to say, but since it is my first post back i feel like I ought to come up with something. Booyah! peace peeps.

The Proper Story

Hello all of you fresh little whippersnappers. I'd just like to clear up some confusion about what happened yesterday. I just want to reassure you that there was not, as was rumored by a post created by computer malfunction, a large force of Confederate soldiers and thirteenth-century European cavalry that entered the blog. Any reports that you had that said this happened are wrong. And also anyone who says that the Highland Sage was leading them is flat out wrong. Besides, even if such a force did happen to break into blog territory, I'm sure my minions would have no trouble dispatching them. so not to worry my poppets, I have and will retain complete control of this blog for a long time. That will be all for now. Look for a great post of my recipe for liver and onions sometime next weeks. until then, this is Suessir, signing off.
