The Dragonfly Collector
January 17, 2011
Sometime in October of 2010, I pondered on kick-starting a personal blog. I gave in to the egging of some friends and a couple of weeks later I was publishing entries for Dragonfly Collector
It’s a place in the web that serves as my online diary where I post anything from my day to day ordinary living ranging from music, films, books, travels, literature, people, or just about anything I find inspiring or amusing. Every week I also post acoustic demos of cover songs in a section called Cover To Cover.
