About Me

HELLO THERE, MY NAME IS RUTH MCGONAGLE, WHICH IM SURE YOU HAVE GATHERED. I AM A SINGER/SONGWRITER AND IM FROM BELFAST. FROM THE AGE OF 5 I BEGAN MY MUSICAL PATH ON PIANO. I HAVE NOW REACHED WHICH I FEEL IS THE TOP OF MY ABILITY ON PIANO. AS I HAVE BEEN CLASSICALLY TRAINED I HAVE ACHIEVED DIPLOMA STANDARD ON THIS INSTRUMENT. NOT BEING ABLE TO STICK WITH ONE INSTRUMENT I DECIDED AT THE AGE OF 9 I WOULD LEARN HOW TO PLAY VIOLIN, TO WHICH I HAVE REACHED GRADE 7. JUST TO ADD I ALSO PLAY CLARINET. haha. ANYWAY AS I SAID I NEVER KNOW WHEN TO STOP. I WANTED TO LEARN MORE, THEREFORE AT THE AGE OF 17 I PICKED UP A GUITAR NOT HAVING A NOTION HOW TO PLAY IT, I WAS MORE DETERMINED, IT NEVER FELT AS EASY AS THE REST OF THE INSTRUMENTS I PLAY. SOOOOO...... I DECIDED TO RELY ON MY FRIEND JENNIFER TO TEACH ME, NOT KNOWING THAT THIS WAS THE INSTRUMENT THAT I WOULD BE MOST FOND OF, I TOOK LESSONS EVERY WEEK WITH HER!!! ANYWAY, SHE WAS SUPBERB, AS I GOTTA ADMIT I AINT THAT GOOD A STUDENT. (WELL SO IM TOLD) I BEGAN WRITING SONGS ON GUITAR FROM THE AGE OF 17. STILL NOT KNOWING THAT ONE DAY I WOULD ACTUALLY BE GIGGING OR RECORDING AN EP. SO I GOTTA TELL YA, IM LOVING EVERY MINUTE.I HAVE NOW COMPLETED MY FIRST EP, WHICH IS CALLED 'PIECES OF YOU.'If I could have just one wish, I would wish to wake up everyday to the sound of your breath on my neck, the warmth of your lips on my cheek, the touch of your fingers on my skin, and the feel of your heart beating with mine... Knowing that I could never find that feeling with anyone other than you.

Always remember no matter where you go, there you are. Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. Ambition is the last refuge of the failure. Any fool can criticize, condemn, & complain. And most do. Anything good in life is either illegal, immoral, or fatteningAnything that is designed to do more than one thing can't do any of them well. As I said before, I never repeat myself. As long as I can remember, I've had amnesia. As soon as the stewardess serves the coffee, the airline encounters turbulence. Be nice to your kids. They'll choose your nursing home.Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before. Car service: If it ain't broke, we'll break it Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. Choose heaven for climate, hell for society. Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18.Confusion not only reigns, it pours. Constant change is here to stay. Dain bramaged.Do steam rollers really roll steam? Do witches run spell checkers? Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected become the expected? Don't be so open-minded your brains will fall out.Don't look back, they might be gaining on you. Don't Take Life Seriously, It Is Not Permanent. Don't take life too seriously, you won't get out alive. Drugs have taught an entire generation of American kids the metric system.Efficiency takes time! Frugality: who can afford it? Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? Every morning is the dawn of a new error. Every time I've built character, I've regretted it.Everyone hates me because I'm paranoid. Everyone is entitled to my opinion. Everyone is gifted. Some open the package sooner. Exceptions always outnumber ruleExceptions prove the rule ... and wreck the budget. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.Few women admit their age. Few men act theirs. Floggings will continue until morale improves. For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism. For people who like peace and quiet: a phoneless cord.Forgive your enemies...but REMEMBER THEIR NAMES! Friends come and go, enemies accumulate. Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies. Friendship is one soul in two bodies.Grow your own dope... plant a man. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional!! Gun control is being able to hit your target! He who hesitates is probably right.
