I'm RichardAM. I think, capture, create and explore- this site brings it all together.

the speed of life

There’s been a lot of things happening recently. At the sametime, it’s been quiet, both states fighting each other in a mish-mash unorganisation of me being both busy and lazy at the sametime. Everything’s conflicted.

Time is spent deciding who to spend time with and balancing it all out to keep other parties happy, there’s an endless choice of back-logged games to play, ideas to create and ultimately too much to do and just not enough time for it all. It’s a balancing act, and unfortunately, one that I haven’t been good at as my tumblr output recently probably shows.

Despite everything though, I’m happy. I know from experience that’s the most important thing in the world and simultaneously the hardest thing in the world to ever accomplish…I just wish everything would maybe slow down a little. I need to catch up.

Homesick

The train clacked forever onwards, down the tracks, over the bridges and through the tunnels; around the hills, inside the stations and out in the open again. The passengers swayed and slept, distracted by the movement, distracted by that urge and need to sleep, but Alistair resisted; remaining awake , not wishing to shut off, dream, and wake-up somewhere new- he wanted to stay awake and see the journey unfold. As the train ride continued and Alistair got nearer and nearer that journey’s end, he began to feel more than a little homesick at where he had been and what had passed before him. He sat conflicted- excited about his arrival, sad about his departure.

Operation Life

Reading, writing, drawing, painting, building with Lego, playing games, watching new films, exercising, eating better, spending less, studying and learning, playing with plasticine, geeking over comics, being there at the right place at the right time, saying the right things, speaking to Ailpol, kissing Ailpol, doing lots of things to Ailpol, going to bed early, waking up earlier, taking photos, playing course catch-up, being a better spender, spending less, drinking less, less cynical, being nicer, being more open, being happy.
