About Grim Weather

My name is Chandler Currier, and Grim Weather is my blog. I'm an aspiring writer, poet, musician, and artist. I write for both myself and for others, hoping that my writing will have some sort of impact. I know that it has an impact on me.

This blog is for all of my artistic endeavors - two-dimensional compositions, paintings, poems, stories, music, and pretty much anything else that I feel like adding.

I won't make promises about posting with any sort of consistency. I think one of the only consistencies of this world is the inconsistency of those who call it home. I will, however, continue to attempt to share my story with you, dear reader. Such is the task of an author.

Grim Weather: Consider It Done

I've said that I'm terrified of silence. I'm terrified of what that silence will bring. I'm terrified of the questions that I'll begin asking myself if I'm left in silence. This is still true. Something that I truly love, however, is music. I can't get enough of it. I basically live for music. Music fills that silence with something that carries real meaning. Perhaps I'm naïve. The current industry does, after all, often take advantage of musical science to produce formulaic sounds that are proven to generate positive responses from the masses. Whatever. That's not me. I listen to sounds and music that I can connect with. Once something resounds within me, I know I've found something that I love. Music inspires me. So what the heck do I listen to? Every month, I put together a playlist of the songs that I listen to and post it on Spotify. You can find the link to my Spotify profile here . I'll also add the music to the Playlists pag...

Ethereal Loss

I wrote a haiku this morning, while contemplating myself. I spend a lot of time in a melancholy mood, wondering about my place in the world, and my future. Sometimes I feel that I float aimlessly, without purpose.  I believe in God. I believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes the tunnel's just too long, too polluted for me to see further than five feet in front of me. I struggle. I will always try to fight through it, though. In stating that I write, sing, draw, and create solely to represent some higher ideal, I misled you, dear reader. I'm truly a selfish person who does this for myself. Maybe I can reach some other people, help, do something to improve others on the way, and, indeed, share the spirit of Creativity, but this is my remedy, and that is the first reason that I write.  I've spent much of my life dreaming about high ideals. I've been blessed with great examples in my life. I have always harbored a small part of me that is...

Creativity and I

It all started when I was eight. I felt it, like a rhino feels the oxpecker bird, guiding it, providing comfort for the brute, commanding control of the situation. I felt a spark. Some may call it Creativity. It spoke to me, showed me images, wove plots and intricacies that a barbaric child such as I was wouldn't understand - at first. Being with Creativity, though, changed me, taught me the intricacies that it created with a mere blink, or a twitch of a finger. It directed me to start writing, and we became good friends, Creativity and I. Due to this fact, or perhaps in spite of it, Creativity kept providing me with stories, and those stories grew in complexity, grew with me, taught me, showed me, until they made me into what I am today - Chandler Currier, Author. Creativity first started with some ideas that I loved at the time, but now only look at and smirk- talking tacos, strange mutants, superheroes that obviously are ripped-off of popular Marvel and DC characters. It d...
