I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with art. I adore the sight of it. Whether rough and unfinished or a beautiful completed piece, art of any kind is gorgeous to me. I admire those able to make it, admire the amount of effort and dedication that has gone into their years of practice and their … Continue reading On making more (“bad”) art

Three Words, Eight Letters
Apr 12th, 2013 5:29:13pm Words are strange, fickle things. They’re a lot like people that way. They have the power to hurt and to heal, to hide and to reveal, to break and to mend, to create and to destroy. They can become hollow from overuse, from repetition, from lies. Or said by the right … Continue reading Three Words, Eight Letters
Thud Thud Thud Goes the Slack Drum~
Jul 23rd, 2011 2:13:00am “There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist. It is purpose that created us. Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us. That guides us. That drives us. It is purpose that defines us. Purpose that binds us.” Agent Smith | The Matrix Reloaded A fine quote from … Continue reading Thud Thud Thud Goes the Slack Drum~
It Starts with One.
Jan 19th, 2011 9:40:00pm One thought. That thought gives rise to another, and another, and another. On on and on, until you finally stop and wonder, “How did I get here?” Most often, or probably always, that first thought is completely unrelated to where you ended up, except through the series of connected thoughts that … Continue reading It Starts with One.

Aug 20th, 2010 1:56:00am I love to read. It’s one of my most favourite things to do. No, scratch that. It is my most favourite thing to do. The beauty of the written word, its power and ability to change lives, to create, to destroy, to bring to life and surface things one would not … Continue reading Magical Pages
Stream of Consciousness…
[Original post date unknown] “It’s funny how things change.” A cliche statement, but only because of how often it is used. One situation, status, quickly morphing into something completely unlike itself. It happens all too often, proving that Life, Fate, Circumstance… they are the true masters of happenings. Do they toss a coin? Close their … Continue reading Stream of Consciousness…
Learning Experience
Sep 5th, 2010 1:26:00am A few days ago, I was being yelled at by my little sister. (Yes, little sister. I am older and therefore not allowed to retaliate.) This is a common occurrence at home. We don’t exactly get along for the most part. On this particular occasion, she was yelling because she had … Continue reading Learning Experience
Secrecy
Aug 25th, 2010 1:45:00am This is [WordPress]. Over one billion posts by people from all walks of life. Some people blog purely to share the beautiful things they find. Some people blog for publicity (yes, we have celebrities on here too, although I’m sure they’re not all just doing it for that). Some people blog … Continue reading Secrecy
What makes a manager’s job more important than a janitor’s? Why do people who go to work in the comfort of offices look down on people who have to work outside no matter the weather? What is it about people working in the service industry that gives you the right to treat them like crap? … Continue reading
