My ReasonsNotToCommitSuicide Blog Posts

I have a WordPress blog called ReasonsNotToCommitSuicide, which is about mental health, stress, living with depression and other fun stuff like that. Here are links to some of the blog posts.

The image is a randon screencap from one of Peter Gabriel's vlogs to his fans, which he did more or less monthly from 2002 to 2012.

My Writing Tips

I've been writing professionally since 2006.  However, if you were to add up the value of everything I've written, it still would not scratch the surface of anything Peter Gabriel has written.

Here, PG is kindly giving autographs.  This is a fan photo I found on the web somewhere, taken ca. 2010.

My Autograph Articles

Currently, most of the web content about collecting autographs that I've written is no longer up.  Perhaps they'll pop back up somewhere soon, due to the nature of the Internet.  In the meantime, enjoy these image of Peter Gabriel autographs.  Yes, he has the handwriting of a genius.

(Please do not use these images for commercial use because I have no idea what the copyright is on them. Thanks.)

My Scorp Articles

I'm a Scorpio, not a scorpion, but I get pretty much this reaction whenever Peter sees me.

(Image is a screencap of Peter's 1992 award-winning video, Steam. It's also the only video of his that my Mom likes.)

Here is a short selection of my articles on scorps (Scorpios or scorpions) that I've done over the years:

My Tree Articles

In his 2008 TED talk, Peter Gabriel announced that he liked trees.  You know what? So do I.  Life would be better with more trees in it and less people.  When I was homeless, I expereincened very few advantages, but one of them was surrounding myself with trees instead of people.

The image of Peter here was taken not too far from where I lived on the banks of the River Avon. I'm afraid I don't know who the photographer is of this lovely image.

The following is a small selection of tree articles I've written since 2006.

My Peter Gabriel Concert Reviews

I've only been to a large handful of Peter Gabriel concerts since 1987 (damn -- they're expensive!) but have managed to make back about $20 with these reviews.

What Peter Gabriel Looks Like in My Dreams

I've been dreaming about  Peter Gabriel since 1986.  I'm not sure who I love more -- the real Peter Gabriel or the one I dream about.  The web abounds in hundreds of PG images.  I can't possibly collect them all (and, quite frankly, some pictures of PG out there are less than flattering.) 

So how do I choose which image to download?  If the image closely resembles the PG in my dreams.  I can't post these images to my sleep and dreaming blog, Dreaming of Peter so they're going here.

Resurrecting rraven's ghostwritten whispers

Hi, there.  I know it's been a few years since I last posted on this blog.  I'm going to be resurrecting it, but it's going to go in a different direction.

Originally, this blog acted as an online portfolio of the web content I've written -- articles, blogs, product descriptions, reviews - stuff like that -- but I write hundreds of pieces of content a year and so trying to find and list them all became an impossible task. 

Now, I'm going to concentrate on displaying my Peter Gabriel digital image collection while occassionally making links to stuff I wrote that may go with the photo.  Since I last posted in this blog, my computer's hard drive crashed twice and SolsburyHill.org and it's huge library of PG photos went offline.  This blog would make a nice back-up, as well as displaying both the images and some of my work.

Also, I need to put these images online somehow so I can pin them on Pinterest.  An ongoing project, you can take a look at my Peter Gabriel pinboard.  If you're sick of Peter Gabriel but want some more eye candy, then you can look at Men Other Than Peter Gabriel.  If you want to know about writing, check out My Writing Tips. 

I still write about Peter Gabriel news in my first blog, The Perfect Blog Title (yes, I know that's not exaclt the perfect blog title but it's too late to change it now.)  Dreams I have of Peter are sometimes talked about on my monetized blog, Dreaming of Peter.  Because that is a monetized blog, I cannot risk posting any images that might be copyrighted.

And if you're a long time Peter Gabriel fan and haven't figured it out by now, the image above to the left is Photoshopped that a fan did in 2010 to celebrate PG's 60th birthday.  PG's hair divorced PG back in 1997.

Enjoy!
