Pen and Sword

Mind vomiting.

Lots going on. So glad I got my friends, art, and journal to keep me sane.

Been writing in this one for over a year now. Almost time to start a new one.

So many Carries!

Set up some mirrors and had some fun with another art buddy of mine.

Colors Find Each Other

Thought it fitting to photograph a painting I made as a follow up to yesterdays blip.

"The best reason to paint is that there is no reason to paint....I'd like to pretend that I've never seen anything, never read anything, never heard anything...and then make something....Every time I make something I think about the people who are going to see it and every time I see something, I think about the person who made it....Nothing is important...so everything is important."
~ Keith Haring (June 15, 1986 NYC)

Empty Easel

Really need to start painting again. Love it. Such a fun outlet

Got into the studio and did a bit of work for class.
Went to the Warhol exhibit. Pretty cool actually. Never been a very big fan of his work, but what I saw was interesting.

Went and saw BalletMet's Dracula afterward. Really cool :)

Time Warp

It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Time Warp again!

Busy day!

Started off having breakfast with all 6 of my housemates.
Then studying with Carrie and Laura.
After that I went to the Purdue game.
Followed by Scott and Sophie's birthday party.
Finally wrapped up the night by seeing Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Good fun :)

Went exploring

Fun but uneventful day spent with friends

"Autumn," by Garrison Keillor:

Here on an autumn night in the sweet orchard smell,
Sitting in a pile of leaves under the starry sky,
Oh what stories we could tell
With this starlight to tell them by.

October night, and you, and paradise,
So lovely and so full of grace,
Above your head, the universe has hung its lights,
And I reach out my hand to touch your face.

I believe in impulse, in all that is green,
Believe in the foolish vision that comes true,
Believe that all that is essential is unseen,
And for this lifetime I believe in you.

Liquid Earth

Rain day.

Haven't been sleeping much this past week. Last night was no exception. Stupid crazy dreams and insomnia bah...

Finished some projects... but got more assignments.
Resolved some issues... but uncovered new things that need discussing.

Oh the fun cycles we live in.

Clay

Taking a ceramics class.

Good fun once you get the hang of it. Harder then it looks at first. And really rough on the hands.

Does the clay say to the potter,
'What are you making?'

Fabric of Life

As I weave my fabric of relationships
I lose so many threads
The pattern seems so clear today
Only to be lost in the mists of time
I walk on the same road for a while
But soon we drift inexorably apart
I wonder where all those friends are
Where did their journeys take them
Sometimes I pick up a loose thread
Hoping I can still make a connection
I hope our paths will cross again
And we can walk hand in hand again
Who knows where life may have led me
I have walked but one of many paths
I think of all the conversations unfinished
And of all the paths left unexplored
But then I realize my folly
I am not the weaver but a thread
And a thread can never see the design
As the weaver unfolds the fabric of creation
He chooses what threads to use
If we could rise above we would know
There are no loose threads and no friends to lose
So I embrace the fabric of my relationships
They are a gift from the weaver of life
