About Me

Let's not walk on the moon, then fail to understand what this Creation is all about.
This is life, this is beautiful, everything is the way it should be.
- Pete Catches -



"I know I'm far from home, but I know I'm not alone"

..

"Although I hate to pigeon-hole, you'd go right into the 'boys that broke my heart' category, which is so filled with tiny fractures over the last 10 years that sometimes I think there is no room for the major breaks.
"And then I'm forced to drive all night, and looking up from the road there is the Manhattan skyline and Snow Patrol is playing and always, always, that sharp precious sting of regret. And I find that although there is always room for the major breaks... that sometimes the tiny fractures hurt the worst."
