here is gone

If you are looking for me, I am already gone.

You can find me here.

art is hard


Google.

Listening to: "Hardwire" - Metric

Art needs a come back. I feel that the process of creating higher art seems lost and someone needs to find it. Going back to the basics may be the salvation art needs to return to its purest form. Let's start a Renaissance revival!

If you need to feed your hunger for music, my sister, Mel operates a blog that serves reviews on some delectable sounds. While focusing on the true essence of each album, Mellow Yellow Music gives you the skinny on some of the best music out there.

the happy list


Wonder by Alex Gray



Listening to: For Emma, Forever Ago (Album) - Bon Iver

Opposed to writing another life-loathing post, I decided to write a list of some of the things that I enjoy in life.


In no particular order...


- poetry


- film


- the ocean


- writing


- singing in the car


- Diet Coke


- rainy days


- drawing with charcoal


- makeup


- taking pictures


- kissing


- reading


- family


- debating


- people watching


- tea


- friendship


- grammar


- comic books


- fashion


- music


- being creative


- sandwiches


- philosophising


- making lists


- peoples' quirks


Everyone should make a "happy list." They sure do brighten your day!

confessions made while in fetal position


"Sleeping Girl" by Susanna Mayer (http://smayer.gr/)


Listening to: "Across the Universe" - Fiona Apple


Sometimes I wonder why I feel so afraid of achieving happiness. I just wrap myself up in my sadness security blanket. I become so afraid of failure that it seems pointless to try.

These are things that I need to work on.

I just want to become a "mover of lives," and make a difference. How am I supposed to do that when all I do is sleep? This constant coma will be the end of me. How many times do I need to hit the snooze button before I finally wake up?

These are more things that I need to add to the list.

I know that the change lies within myself. I can receive all the help and assistance in the world (which of course, I am eternally grateful for), but everything needs to happen with my own hands. It will not be easy, but I could use a good challenge these days.

And yes, typing while in fetal position is not very comfortable. Not at all.

New Years Resolution: Become the ace in my own deck of cards. If I am not the ace, then I will always lose.
