I Have To Wonder

If Czerny would mind his music being recycled into home decor products.
...But then again, what else does one DO on a 42 degree day?

Points To Ponder

~If you're totally illiterate and living on one dollar day, the benefits of globalization never come to you.~


~Grace has been defined as the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul.~


~Happiness is inward, not outward; and so, it does not depend on what we have, but on what we are.~

Fauvism

Have been inspired to display these by the ever-inspiring Toots...

I'd forget my head sometimes if it wasn't screwed on

More Anais Nin...

~Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.~

~Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again: and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.~

~Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.~

~How wrong is it for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.~

~I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.~

~It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning to it.~

Colour Your Day

There is nothing like some colour to brighten one's day. These are some of the works of an artist by the name of Matt W Moore.

Love the brightness + colour.

Emerging Artists!

"All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up."
Pablo Picasso

Here is my darling delightful daughter Emily this afternoon.

Words from 2002

The fact that I was never an advocate for the correct pen holding position has always made me slightly ponder the real value of myself.

Thought Of The Day

My thoughts are free to go anywhere, but it's surprising how often they head in your direction.

Nina Kinert, Beast

I made this video after hearing a beautiful song and seeing some beautiful artwork on the same afternoon. Thought they would look good hand in hand, so to speak. Shannon Crees is the visual artist, Nina Kinert is the musical artist.

I know the kind of beast that I've become.

I Am The Most Tired Woman In The World

I am the most tired woman in the world. I am tired when I get up. Life requires an effort I cannot make. Please give me that heavy book. I need to put something heavy like that on top of my head. I have to place my feet under the pillows always, so as to be able to stay on earth. Otherwise I feel myself going away, going away at a tremendous speed, on account of my lightness. I know that I am dead. As soon as I utter a phrase my sincerity dies, becomes a lie whose coldness chills me. Don't say anything, because I see that you understand me, and I am afraid of your understanding. I have such a fear of finding another like myself, and such a desire to find one! I am so utterly lonely, but I also have such a fear that my isolation be broken through, and I no longer be the head and ruler of my universe. I am in great terror of your understanding by which you penetrate into my world; and then I stand revealed and I have to share my kingdom with you.

Home is always where the heart is

The Arcade Fire - Suburban War

Let's go for a drive
See the town tonight
There's nothing to do but I'll unwind when I'm with you

This town's so strange
They built it to change
And while we're sleeping all the streets, they rearrange

And my old friends, we were so different then
Before your war against the suburbs began
Before it began

And now the music divides
Us into tribes
You grew your hair so I grew mine
They said the past won't rest
Until we jump the fence and leave it behind

And my old friends, I can remember when
You cut your hair
We never saw you again
Now the cities we live in
Could be distant stars
And I search for you
In every passing car

The nights are warm
Yeah, the nights are warm
I've been living in the shadows of your song
Living in the shadows of your
Song

In the suburbs I, I learned to drive
People told me we would never survive
So grab your mother's keys we leave tonight

You started a war
That you can't win
They keep erasing all the streets we grew up in

Now the music divides
Us into tribes
You choose your side I'll choose my side

All my old friends, they don't know me now
Oh-oh
All my old friends, are staring through me now
Oh-oh
All my old friends, they don't know me now
All my old friends, they don't know me now

All my old friends, wait

A Day To Start The New Year

Tonight a severe headache has been brought upon by quick and hearty consumption of cheap white shiraz drunken lazily upon the Botanical Gardens.

Musical goodness is soothing me by way of Arcade Fire's The Suburbs. Ultimately one of the best album os 2010. Suburban War would definitely be my favourite song of the year hands down.

So far so good

So, it's been nearly 15 minutes and already I'm on the way to achieving what could be the longest resolution that's ever progressed in my life.

Now I'm Ready To Start

I have commenced the blog.
It was a half-arsed New Year's resolution to think about achieving, as not many had been achieved before.
At this stage, it's looking like quite a worthwhile resolution to make.
But we'll see.
