Belated 6th Anniversary!

I got this notice last week and I’ve been blogging for 6 years. Hooray! Even though I strayed from the path of what this blog was originally for, it’s good that I’ve kept on going so far. Thank you to all who support me.

5 Year Blogiversary

I’m still recovering from some depression and some mental health issues, but it was good seeing that the Ospreyshire blog is now half a decade old now. I can’t believe I’ve made it this far even if I diverged from the original intent of this blog. Thank you to everyone who supports me. It’s been rough, but I’m glad I was able to persevere at this point. I do need to improve with the Ospreyshire project and not deal with so many setbacks.

One Year In Lockdown

As everyone finds excuses to wear green and possibly drinking beer

The realization hit as the world came to a screeching halt

Not by bombs, guns, planes, or even UFOs

But by an invisible force

6 feet or more away from each other

Zooming all day and seeing faces via Facetime

Essentially leaving certain places still open

Panic surrounding others

As a certain brand of idiocy is born

Memories of empty grocery shelves, missing hand sanitizer bottles, or wipes wiped from the aisles

Mountains of toilet paper loaded in carts

Or even Kenny Omega singing a lullaby to a few 2 ply rolls in a hotel room

What was the world coming to? This wasn’t an overnight fix, but the tensions still remain

Ospreyshire’s Realm turns 4! #Blogiversary

Happy blogiversary to me!

I have been dealing with a lot of stuff from work as well as trying deal with negative emotions going on, so this was a good thing that put a smile on my face. I forgot I started this blog this time 4 years ago right before I released my first Ospreyshire EP back then. Of course, everything snowballed into making more blogs with different subjects. I met some fantastic bloggers along the way off all interests, ethnic groups, creeds, and walks of life which has been great. I’ve had powerful conversations, had fun posting comments, providing content on my blogs, and others things. Sure, I’ve had my ups and downs these past 4 years (truth be told, I’m still dealing with some of my own issues), but seeing some constant support did give me some hope. Some of you were friends to me when I didn’t talk to anyone.

Thank you for being a part of this creative journey with blogging, music, poetry, opinions, art, and other things.

Happy 3 Year Bloggiversary!

Has it been 3 years since Ospreyshire and this blog existed now? Wow, time really flies!

I’d like to thank those how have followed me these past 3 years. It’s been a long journey and I know I deviated from the original reason for this blog, but I’m happy there are those who care. I met some great people on WordPress and I’m sure to meet more.

In other news, I wanted to let you all know that I’m over 3/4ths of the way done with my next album!

Thanks for checking out this blog.

2 year anniversary of Ospreyshire’s Realm

I just got this notification and my blog has been around for two years already.

Wow, time has certainly flown by. I originally made this blog as a platform for my current spoken word/Avant-garde project. Funny how I’ve expanded my repertoire with multiple blogs, doing the Katauta 52 challenge, and talking about important events on here.

I’d like to thank anyone who’s bothered to follow my works and support me.

Verses Vs. Anhedonia: 1 Year Anniversary

Can you believe it?

Exactly one year ago, I released my debut EP “Verses Vs. Anhedonia” to the world. Time has gone by way too fast here. This was my first foray into recording some poems and adding some avant-garde soundscapes with them. It was also the first time I’ve ever used my omnichord as an instrument for some of the tracks. Granted, this stuff isn’t the kind of music you’ll hear on Top 40 radio or commercials, but I hope you check it out for those who didn’t catch it the first time.

You can download it for free or you can pay what you want.

I want to thank Dave Emmerson from ZAP Records for distributing it worldwide and for formatting the liner notes of the album. Thanks for believing in my art, mate.

One year later, and I never thought I would continue with this avant-garde project.

Thank you all.
