This claustrophobic girl

Dropped black olives into clear jars

On the windowsill, one after another.

This reckless man climbed poles outside

Attached wires with inner mind

That girl saw the wires before her eyes sought skies

Inside I walk into her room

She drops an olive on the ground

My socks are mismatched.

With a heart that battles itself enough,

I know they could make the full pair,

Long as there’s two feet.

She disappears, I'd rather remember her

Than be with her.

I saw a woman on the mountains,

She showed me the night's meteor shower.

Since then, I've been more prone to being shot

By shooting stars. Since then her heart has grown

To touch my own, I'm not alone.

I climb the wires he's fused and refuse to leave

Without another companion.

If he's safe, I'm ready to take a long drive.

'Til I run out of road past the last gas station.

I'm off alone. Writing with her.

Empowering pen strokes to eliminate the reader;

The reader’s senses.

On the ground I find the word in a note.

"Trade" it tells me.

I have a boomerang and that's all.

So into the wind it tossed,

And it entangles in the height of a kite.

I took what's not mine with strings attached-

From another lover's lifetime.

We've been adapting with our other lover's lost love.

LVNG II

Buddah Says touch your nose,
I hold his hands and fly
It's a Very Simple Thing


The Five Primary Hinderances:

1. Craving
I'm not happy, I only have this stupid thing and that purposeless quality.
2. Ill Will
(S)He is going down because (s)he can't lift me up.
3. Sloth and Torpor (Spiritual Laziness)
Tomorrow the path will come across my way.
4. Restlessness
Every waking moment needs to be packaged and snorted.
5. Doubt
Maybe it's all just a waking dream, maybe it will all be lost in the morning.


My Personal Obstacles:
I crave-
Constant physical presence of my lover
Bursts of creativity on hand all the time

I hate-
Ignorance
Self-centerness
Gossip

I avoid-
Hard work
Dedication

I stay awake over-
Adrenaline rushes

I doubt-
Humanity
Myself
Religion
Politics
Media
Consiousness
Memories
Perspective
Plans
2012
Good and Evil

And these are the obstacles I must overcome through love and wisdom

Kindness and realistic attitude

No expectations

Just the present.

I've lost my mind!!

NOT AGAIN???

Lost:

G drive- super important backup of my entire laptop. super expensive

oil pastels- just found the whole box a few weeks ago... put it somewhere for later... and now it is GONE!

2 discs- Jasc paint shop... yeahhh, really important. and canon scan gear... yep, cant even scan on my new computer without this shit.

Methods to Find

1) Distract myself into remembering
- I have been trying this for months but not luck.

2) Ask a pendalum on a chain
- my good friend does this and it works for her. now where's my pendalum at?

3) Turn it all upside down
-Like I'd really clean it all up afterwards... thus losing a thousand more important things

4) Tell self hour by hour to get more organized
-Never will remember to do this but worth a try

5) Manage time like a freaking adult
-ha!

6) Make cats find the stuff
- Solved! *meow*

...The adventure begins..



This universal journey begins with a single step. Good news! I have displayed much of my digital art work up at the restaurant I work at! Everything is for sale. I also have two large canvases that are rounding out and about ready to display. I'm more than enthusiastic to continue this path of what I love.
But what will me career be? ???:(????

Anyway,
My current digital projects include:
1)Continuing to study how to bring forth personality of my friends and family by editing portrait pictures,
2) Layering drawings over pictures that they are inspired by,
3) Creating a draft for the Mirror Mandala of Personal Reflection.


Thanks for stopping by,

Asking This Question to People Can Be a WHAT?

I come and go between the terms and rules of memory.

I love being exposed to traits about people that I can mimic. If someone uses a great rhythm and quirky body language in their answer to "how are you?", I get excited and feel solid about who I'm seeing.

Like the jingle of a fast food advertisement, I can remember this new person all day and longer.

There is a psychology to advertising. BE CATCHY, quick, and easy. We can be fed our mind's desires. And when we are busy acting upon pre-installed goals- we neglect the opinion of our inner selves.

Caught in a web.

yin yang signs

He takes agenda
Specific positions
To crouch, to guard
Obey the concept.
His guns, his arms
Against the rocket launcher.

Troops take the streets,
Ambush is now just typical.
He realizes there's no one.
No last chances, no peephole,
Not anymore,
Not in this army.

Under the influence
Of ringing nationalism,
His identity is permanently true.
Armored soldier, stranded tonight
Revolt in the foreign homeland.

How did he get shot down?
In that camouflage suit?
He judges for himself.
His terrified soul will not growl,
It won't anymore.

In the constellation,
He can wholly join.
