Gabby Giffords

Gaby Giffords is more than just still alive. She has resumed walking, speaking, reading, writing, and she is back doing the job that she was almost assassinated for. The fact that she continues working with her dream job is amazing.

This is an inspiration for me to not give up pursuing my dream, no matter how daunting the situation may be.

Have you ever...

..tried to imagine how you would be if you made different choices? I will admit that I do all the time- funny how in most of them i feel happier in my deluded mind...

...Like if i shaved my face, or if i told everyone i was asexual (look it up if you don't know what that is ;-]), or if i ditched a certain project, or if i did research on stock investing would i have a source of income. 
You know, that sort of daydreaming.

maybe life would be better, maybe i would regret it later. time would have told. Maybe i still have time to do some of that stuff, but i know what is too late, which is what spurs this entrance into lala-land~

Stream of consciousness...


 stream of consciousness...

Hey, i remember this really bad movie when i was smaller, it was Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I couldn't stand the main character, but everyone else i liked. I remember the part where they floated down the stream of consciousness on a banana... yeah, the plot was a little kooky too. the story had a really good, deep moral though, and it was aimed toward the little kids, the ones who would believe it more: 
if you stick to your dreams, then they become reality.

lovely thoughts.

i am still sticking to my hopes, but i always wondered if i made a different choice, or did something else, if i would get to my lifetime goals more easily...

YES!

MY BLOG WORKS AGAIN!

Thank you Google for fixing Blogspot for me!

Is this thing working yet?

If it is, i'll start using it again...

So much

Its almost over

NO i am NOT talking about the end of the world! I find people who prophesize the exact day of the apocalypse outright nutbags. If you want to contest that, ill be happy to hear your case (insert emoticon here).

What i meant was the end of school! You know what that means? Either no more pre-occupation, or extra laziness, which i will welcome both (although i prefer the first option).

The time for my first PROFESSIONAL photoshoot is coming soon, and i absolutely cant wait for that. I thank MANA STARRE for choosing me to be her little photographer! We've been best friends for the longest time, and i am very thankful that i have such a trusting and honest friend!

Kerna project stalled a bit ,im sorry, but im going to have to wait for my neurons to de-fry themselves before i start again. BEFORE that happened, ive made some interesting drawings (perception is a little off unfortunately) as well as polished and concluded the second chapter. I cant wait to show everyone!

As for outside art/info, ive been quite a hermit because of testing, but if you havent seem EVE Online, you should at least read their stories- they're so amazing! Just remember that if you want to try the actual game, let me know so that i can give you a 3-week trial instead of the 2 weeks they would give you (7 days is a HUGE difference!)

thank you everyone once again!

Something to think about

You know the fights that you get into with one friend, but then you end up with another friend as a referee? Sure you got mad at them for calling out stuff you said, but in the end they saved yourself a friendship? I've written a passage for our personal lifeguards.



Level-headed people level the field. Once they're gone, the hills become mountains and the dales become chasms, and from the boundaries spring pyres to consume whats left of the civilized.

Not everything is your cup of tea. What works for one doesn't have to work for the other. One is spontaneous, the other is planned; one likes the light, the other likes it a little darker. One prefers to control, the other simply doesn't care. That is why there are so many variations in art and philisophy,
because no one would take their friend's cup of tea.



Keep your friends. They're getting harder to find

The neverending project

Artistic ability should never forced, but found. However, what you may find could easily be lost, so you use it so you wont lose it. Be it the photographer's eye, depth of perception, how to draw environments, people and animals, special styles, or some other trick that you picked up along the way. Art is a neverending project, as there is always something out there that absolutely has to be shared with everyone else.

Dragging it on- Japan

I am terribly sorry, but even though some people i know want the ranting about how to help Japan to stop, I do not mean to repeat what -they- say.


First off, Japan technically does not need the kind of help we might expect them to need- food, hygiene, and survival kits. They are not a developing country, and they can afford to give themselves aid, as Japan has the third largest economy in the world. They've already supplied themselves to rebuild, there's not much we can do to help.


What kind of aid would they need? Sure, many countries are now refusing to import now-irradiated Japanese goods, but be serious- economics is long term: think at least a 5-year time span. They're not going to go under, as nuclear disaster has occurred before; they KNOW how to recover. Simply give them sympathy, and respect as they do their best resume their daily lives, just like the rest of us.


For thousands of years, the Japanese time and again had earthquakes and tsunamis hit their homeland. For thousands of years, the Japanese rebuilt their homeland every time it ever became devastated. They reinforced their homes and workplaces with the best money can buy, and they encounter these natural disasters so often that they simply resume their work afterwards. The Japanese were prepared for this, and the world is thankful.


We, as citizens of the world, can learn alot more from the Japanese reactions during their time of peril. When the lights in the stores went out and goods flew off the shelves, shoppers rushed to return the products on the shelves once the worst passed. There was no reports of looting. Japanese news channels only reported anything that gave hope, and organized crime such as the Yakuza turned out to be the largest contributors to the recovery effort, delivering medical supplies and handing out uncontaminated food in spite of all of the risks the drivers and volunteers took on their lives to help their community. Imagine what a miracle it would be if there was order in a place of utter chaos. That is Japan.


Japan: the hub of Asian culture. It will never be gone forever.
