My Home on the Internet
No one invented the music video, they happened by accident. There are so many that have tried to lay claim to this marriage of song and film but the truth is they evolved first and were defined later. They were never deliberately conceived.

I have a blog. I do nothing with this blog. Every time I sit down to write something I find I have nothing to say. The truth is I did, it was what I was passionate about and yet I said nothing. I think it’s time to speak up about something I love. [...]

Friday the 1st of February was a hot day and I was suffering from some sort of virus, I felt like I d been hit by a bus, exhausted and like someone was stabbing my gut with a fork. The Police concert was on that night, I went home dreading that I was going to [...]
