Apollo Lemmon on

Friends


My journal is now primarily for friends. However, I’m always willing to welcome new people into my life so feel free to add me as a friend. I’ll be sure to add you back. Those of you without a livejournal account can read at http://www.frozentruth.com/journal

My site can be found at http://www.frozentruth.com and will certainly tell you much more about me.

Apollo:

A Redefinition

I was given the name Apollo Lemmon in my very early days (though my middle name, Isaac, was my title for a few days). Most of my life has been lived in beautiful Nova Scotia, Canada, where even now I reside. I attended school, travelled, developed friendships, read, listened, learned, loved, spoke out, wrote, bled, breathed and developed true sight in my first 20 years. The future is wide open.

I’m an evolving soul, but there are constants to my growth. I seek truth in everything I do. In my friends, art, humanity and nature I find new insight and compassion. From these true threads I draw the strength I need to continue my personal growth.

Love is the center of all I believe in. A life without love is truly an empty one. I am fully blessed to be so loved by those who I have in my life.

Friendships for me are very important, and I always infuse them with loyalty, trust and love. Though each of my friendships vary in closeness and amount of time we are able to spend together, I truly treasure each life I am able to be a part of. My closest friends can be read about in the Disciples section of the site.

Ashley, my love, is surely the most dear of all my friends to me. She has changed who I am in so many positive ways, and I am endlessly thankful that she is a part of my life. She is beautiful in body and spirit and surely the most wonderful person I have ever met. She is my muse, my happiness and my future.

Art has been a vital part of my life for as long as I can remember. There is much truth and compassion in true art, and that is surely something I encourage everyone to realize. My three greatest artistic passions are writing, reading and listening to music.

I have loved writing for nearly my entire life. I am constantly writing, and developing stories for my poems and prose. I currently have several projects underway, including a poetry collection and a novel. Of course there are pieces of writings here at Frozen Truth . com, so you can read those if you’d like.

I try to read as much as possible each day. I have always loved words and stories, and the great impact they can have on our lives. I enjoy reading fantasy over other genres because of the great allegories and symbolism that can be found in the great works of fantasy. Some of my favorite wordsmiths (and visual artists in the case of comics and graphic novels’ creators) include J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles de Lint, Terry Goodkind, Terry Brooks, Mike Jefferies, Wendy and Richard Pini, Terri Windling, Mark Z. Danielewski, Irene Radford, Robert Asprin, Terry Moore, and Neil Gaiman.

Music is the lifeblood of my entire way of life. There isn’t a day that passes during which I do not listen to music, for it give me a sense of peace that I have never found in any other art. Though I’m very selective about what I listen to, I enjoy some works from every genre. I enjoy hundreds of artists, and a some of the notable ones include Collective Soul, Poe, Matthew Sweet, Buck 65, The Smashing Pumpkins, Tom Cochrane, Live, Delerium, Zwan, Conjure One, The Thorns, Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco, Elastica, Collide, Big Wreck, Terami Hirsch, A Perfect Circle, Neil Young, Tool, Crash Test Dummies, Garbage, Lisa Loeb, Gin Blossoms, Placebo, Goo Goo Dolls, Ellen Reid, Tegan and Sara, Great Big Sea, Marit Larsen, Marvelous 3, Shawn Mullins, Butch Walker, Nine Inch Nails, Our Lady Peace, Rush, Scratching Post, The Tea Party, The Wallflowers and Molly Zenobia.

I am very interested in many environmantal and humanitarian issues. Activism is an essential part of what I believe, for I feel it is our duty to the world to protect and fight for it and its peoples’ rights.

There is, of course, much more to be discovered about me, but that is to be learned by exploring the rest of this collection of leaves.

What others have said about me:

Ashley said, “You are very imaginative, brilliant and so beautiful!” and “You are wonderful in every way, smart, loving and always thinking of others.”

Wanda said, “You have wonderful taste in music and are always introducing me to new and wonderful artists I have never heard of.”

Anowyn said, “Your hair is awesome. Do not cut it. You are very intelligent, so it’s nice to read your entries.”

Sarah said, “You are wise beyond your years,” and “There is something very calming about you. In a world full of drama, the last thing we need is someone who makes us tense. You do just the opposite. You are a special one, Apollo. I’m telling you that right now. Don’t believe anything otherwise.”

Sascha said, “Any man who uses his head as much as Apollo does deserves to at least have a street named after him.”

Julia said, “You are very intelligent, caring and interesting.”

Tiffany said, “Apollo is an amazingly intellegent person, probably one of the most I have ever met.”

Judy said, “I read every entry, and take most of it to heart. You’re one of the only people I know who is passionate about anything… You’re an inspiration.”

Lilith said, “I enjoy reading your LJ. You have good taste in music and your writing is always refreshing in comparison to what most people post.”

Sharmel said, “Aside from being devistatingly handsome in your user pics, you seem to be very intellegent, intropective and generally a wonderful person. And you like Poe. Which makes you cool in itself. But yea, you’re pretty awesome.”

Kimmie said, “You seem like such a loyal person and you bring calmness and peace to the world by being the person that you are.”

  8. That’s really cool. 🙂 lol Just about everyone in the Musquodoboit Valley has been taught by one of my parents in the past 20 years. It’s kinda amusing. I’ve never had them as teachers so I never really knew what they were like when teaching.

    Reply

  9. Yeah, I agree about the teaching of one’s own children.

    I was picked on as a kid too(I’ve never understood why, unless it was my red hair). I know I wouldn’t have wanted my parents to defend me though, that would only have made it worse.

  11. Yeah, I went to SCHS and we had a remarkably good class… The last year everyone hung out with everyone else and it was a wonderful environment… I think having small schools helps with that.

    Yes, go ahead and add me. I had asked you if I could add you in a previous comment but I guess you missed it. 🙂

    1. 😀 Thanks. We’ll be sure to take lots of photos during the next week. I have 3.5 rolls of film and my digicam myself and I’m sure Ashley will bring her own. 🙂

      1. yay, I was stupid ;\ When my boy friend came to the states We only took 2 pictures together ;\

        You remind me of someone.. I just can’t put my hand on it. Now I’m going to think about it all night! Ahh!

        Anyway, I’d like to add you to my Friends list I hope you don’t mind, I doubt you will :;D

        1. Wow, only 2? I’ll be taking so many photos once Ashley is here because I know it will be a while before we’ll be together again.

          lol I remind you of someone? I always find that odd when people tell me that because I don’t know anyone like me. lol

          😀 Of course I wouldn’t mind I’ll add you too! 🙂

          Reply

          1. yeah, I was being shy ;\ I don’t like taking pictures. He makes me though. lol. Yeh, I know that feeling it will probably be in May before I get to see him again.

            I don’t think it’s the face, I think it’s the hair. You’ve got pretty hair! I want;\ lol.. I don’t think I’ve ever told a guy that, but there’s a first for everything :D~~~

            Thank you, Mr. Apollo

  19. Re: Jumping the bandwagon…

    🙂 Welcome

    I see that you are a fellow Charles de Lint fan. It’s rare to come across people who have actually heard of him, so you are doubly welcome here.

  24. I saw your post in antiwar and when I came to view your journal, I was greatly impressed by how well-written and beautiful this post was. Would you mind if I added you as a friend? If not, I do understand, but I really would like to say that you have a very nice way of writing!

  41. Hello,
    I added you, once upon a time, and you decided not to add me back. After coming across your journal several times since, and finally seeing you on the Poe site in your snazzy Poe shirt, I’ve decided to add you again, I hope you don’t mind.
