It's been a while since I've updated, so just to let you know what's going on. I've signed up for a cantorial school, which means a lot of things that I don't have room to explain and describe; basically, I'll be leaning how to sing and lead Jewish synagogue services. This is barely of any significance to me, as I've led the most (literally!) swesome services in the year, and I am competent at doing that - even with a sore throat. I'm also a fine singer. But I want to go professional. The title of a "Hazzan" could get me into places and could earn me money that I can't earn right now. Hell, who knows, I could be making several Gs in one yea

Hello, everyone. It's Yom Kippur this evening (read the Wikipedia entry, I won't get into all the details), and I'd just like to take this last opportunity to apologise to each and every one of you for anything I did that might have displeased you - whether I know it or not; whether I remember it or have forgotten; and whether or not I'm even aware of the bad stuff. I can't promise not to ever hurt or annoy you again, but I do promise to do my best to avoid it all in the future. I hope you can all forgive me. :) Cheers, and all the best, Jonathan

Censorship

God seems to like me, I must be a good cantor. Our 1989 Austin Montego SW broke down yesterday for the last time; apparently my brother's rented Impreza WRX will stay with us for another 13 days with us (long story), until we buy a new car. He left tonight back to Australia. Talk about timing! Similarly, I was about to upload two poems, and the ones most emotional to me, about everything I've gone through in the past few months and the stuff I've been thinking of after the breakup. Fortunately, my ex decided to join and devWATCH me, so I now know the stuff to censor. ;) I might make a new Guide to my Gallery sometime soon, but it will requ

Hello to a fellow Jonathan. Nice work, by the way!
Jonathon! I dropped by to see if there was some reason you'd stopped writing, and I discover that you've fallen off my watchlist. I thought you were still there, since I still have some of your old deviations in my inbox awaiting review and comment. Damn dA and the software that controls us all!

A most sincere apology, my friend, for what must have seemed an unconscienable indifference to you and your creative efforts. I am quite honestly swamped with work, as I normally am, but I had no intention of forgetting or ignoring you. Please forgive me.
'Tis of little consequence. I barely even post on DA these days - maybe some day if and when I get published we'll see what happens. :-)

My warmest regards.

Care to explain enjambment?
Enjambment is essentially the technique where you don't have a pause at the end of a line (such as a comma or full stop), but where the line breaks in the middle - resulting in a bit of a rushed effect. In freeverse it lets you highlight certain words or phrases. :-)
Alright. I see. Care to give me an example? :D
