Today is World Cancer Day.
Remembering all those who fought and lost.
Those who fought and won.
And those who are still fighting.
Hoping there would be a cure
At least in my lifetime.
I have always said,
Whenever I die, I am going to have a little chat with whoever invented this horrible disease.
They’ve got some explaining to do.
Kung Hee Fat Choy, my friends.
Good fortune to you all.
No, I am not Chinese.
I just want to greet my Chinese friends a Happy New Year.
I may as well be Chinese though.
Some people mistake me for one when they see me.
#Music is my own time machine.
Old songs bring me back. Songs I've just discovered brings me forward. The present is what I'm singing now.— Ty Martell (@denofmusic) January 31, 2014
Have you ever heard of that saying?
“A face only a mother could love?”
I have that face,
and this is the Mother who loved it.
Happy Birthday, Mom!
We love you very much.
Maybe I’ll just sit right here and watch.
I haven’t been back in Ottawa in a good while and I must tell you,
I really don’t remember it being THAT cold.
And THAT much snow.
Holy Gods of Rock! I want this guitar so bad!
The Dragon print is the back design.
It’s a Benzaiten Telecaster, by Fender.
Isn’t it beautiful?
One thing I hate as I get older, is how harder it gets to find time to play music. Serves me right for not choosing what I love years ago.

Alright.
You know how much I hated 2013
so let’s clean the slate.
I make no promises that I won’t be the cranky,
angry old man that I have become,
but I will try to update this site as much as I can.
And maybe with more music.
Hopefully with more music.
And blog posts.
I actually dreamt that I was playing guitar on New Year’s eve.
So maybe this would be a good year.
I hope you were with your loved ones when the clock striked twelve.
Because if you weren’t, then what is the fucking point in everything?
Best of the New Year to you all!
Merry Christmas to you all.
Hope you had a great one.
Me?
I am going home.
Here’s three songs that I played and has something to do with Christmas.
Ghosts on Christmas Eve
And a Filipino Classic
Pasko na Sinta Ko
Also a Tagalog original from me and my buds.
It’s really not a Christmas song, but Christmas was mentioned.
So, that should count, right?
Tanging Hiling
Check me out on my Twitter for possible updates during the holidays.
I’ll try to update this one too, but who reads this crap?
You do?
What the hell is wrong with you?
I’m kidding.
Merry Christmas!
