I haven't updated in a while. I haven't submitted in a couple of days, mostly I just haven't had the time. Life is complicated but I always feel better when I have a nice piece to share with the world ( that was so unintentionally dirty that its just funny)

anyway ... I am happy that it is Thursday. Because tomorrow is Friday and that means that the weekend will be here. I love the weekend!

Blah blah blah ... I know.

I have to say that I am really loving DA and it is a highlight of my day if I just get the chance to sit down and browse. The people here are SO amazing.

Love and Peace to everyone ~ especially all of you who have been kind enough to stop by and say hello or comment on something I have done. It is so appreciated!

XOXO

Michelle

So another day dawns over Wesley Chapel ~ I had to rise before the sun today to take my other half to the gate to meet his ride to training this week ... sigh ....

All week we will be studying for his Insurance license exam. Fun!


Anyway I dont know if anyone noticed but I have been deleting work. Seems my contrast/brightness was WAY off on my monitor and what appeared to me as black or any dark color was actually much much lighter and when viewed on a regular monitor ( such as Amy's) my worked look like pure corn fed kaka ... thats right folks, shit.

So .... for all of those who may have taken a look at my work and thought, what the fuck does she think she is doing here? I apologize and thank you to all of those who were kind enough not to say anything and leave positive comments anyway.

I actually cringed when I corrected my light settings and saw what I had done. EEEeeekkkkk!!!!

It was like going to a party with toilet paper sticking out of the back of my pants. I wanted to turn and run with my tail between my legs but hey I figured that this is just a drop in the bucket, a meer pebble on the path to great work and now I know and of course as GI Joe taught us all, knowledge is power....

Time to wake up the munchkin for school!

Love, Peace and Chicken Grease to all ~

Michelle

I guess it was her

Their daughter Bindi did read a short statement she had written about her Daddy and it was one of the sweetest things I have ever heard. What an amazing kid!


I just dont think that this has sunk in for me yet. Steve Irwin emerged when I was at a pretty bad time in my life and his show brought me and my kids alot of laughter and to be honest in my mind he was kind of invincible.

In fact when the story broke me and my husband kept saying, No it cant be true..its just one of those fake celebrity death news stories.

Last night I kept waiting for Steve to pop up somewhere and I know that sounds crazy - I KNOW that he is dead but how is that possible? Of all the people in this world that deserve to croak more than he does, of all the wacked out nut cases like Whitney Houston ( sorry to any Whitney fans but come on) .... let me just go on a rant .....

How are people like

Courteney Love
Natasha Lion
Peter ( whats his face, Kate Mosses crackhead lover)
Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown


there are so many ... how are all these people who just take life into their own hands, downing copious amounts of crap everyday still alive and Steve Irwin - the fucking crocodile HUNTEER dead from a stingray barb? HOW??????

Its a shame and I am sad for his family, especially his son Bob because he is not yet old enough to have known his father.. all her will have are someone elses memories and video tape.

I think that the way that Steve lived his life should be an inspiration to every single person alive. The man was positive everyday, happy to live, happy to be working and in love with life and his family. Did anyone ever doubt for one second that he was madly insanely in love with Terri or Bindi or Bob?

Never.

The man wore his heart on his sleeve and beneath that boisterous exterior and all that crikey! hoopla there was a serious sweet kind man who will be sorely and sadly missed.

I will never forget him and my kids will never forget him ... so I am including a poem that they read last night entitled,

"The Crocodiles Are Crying" and I hope that it touches you ...



THE CROCODILES ARE CRYING

Endless visions fill my head – this man – as large as life

And instantly my heart mourns for his angels and his wife

Because the way I see Steve Irwin – just put everything aside

It comes back to his family – it comes back to his pride


His animals inclusive – Crikey – light the place with love!

Shine his star with everything he fought to rise above

The crazy-man of Khaki from the day he left the pouch

Living out his dream and in that classic ‘Stevo’ crouch


Exploding forth with character and redefining cheek

It’s one thing to be honoured as a champion unique

It’s one thing to have microphones and spotlight cameras shoved

It’s another to be taken in and genuinely loved


But that was where he had it right – I guess he always knew

From his fathers’ modest reptile park and then Australia Zoo

We cringed at times and shook our heads – but true to natures call

There was something very Irwin in the make up of us all


Yes the more I care to think of it – the more he had it right

If you’re going to make a difference – make it big and make it bright!

Yes - he was a lunatic! Yes - he went head first!

But he made the world feel happy with his energetic burst


A world so large and loyal that it’s hard to comprehend

I doubt we truly count the warmth until life meets an end

To count it now I say a prayer with words of inspiration

May the spotlight shine forever on his dream for conservation


…My daughter broke the news to me – my six year old in tears

It was like she’d just turned old enough to show her honest fears

I tried to make some sense of it but whilst her Dad was trying

His little girl explained it best…she said “The crocodiles are crying”


Their best mate’s up in heaven now – the crocs up there are smiling!

And as sure as flowers, poems and cards and memories are piling

As sure as we’ll continue with the trademarks of his spiel

Of all the tributes worthy – he was rough…but he was real


As sure as ‘Crikey!’ fills the sky ~Aazrielle http://Aazrielle.deviantart.com/journal/10105548/ http://Aazrielle.deviantart.com/journal/10105548/ Sun, 17 Sep 2006 20:15:53 PDT
Being friends with Amy is a whirlwind ~ but if you notice, most of the things in life that are the scariest things, the most painful and frightening things are the ones that are the most fun, the most rewarding - the ones you remember always. Like childbirth.

I feel like Amy is almost rebirthing me back into myself. She is kinda chipping away at this psycho shell that I have cocooned myself in for the last 6+ years because I was so fucking scared of getting hurt again -

It's really hard to trust anyone after someone you love crumbles you up and throws you away. And even though I am now married and I have a family there is always a part of me that is locked away for no one to see. I carry this fear that if anyone ever knew the real me they wouldnt like me. A person created that fear in me and whats sad is it was someone I loved.

I have been working a long time to heal that wound, to fix what was broken by someone else and Amy in just this short amount of time has been a salve. Some miracle, celestial magic that seems to have fallen out of the damn wesley chapel sky ...

its so trippy. I didnt even want to rent this house. I was upset about moving here. I was convinced that this year was never going to end that my time living out here in the sticks was going to be a year of solitude and misery. Now I dread the day my lease expires. What the hell am I gonna do?

After all the things that I have been through, years and years of mental and physical agony. Years of thinking that God truly had forsaken me, in just the last 3 years I have come to realize that everything really does happen for a reason and I know that alot of people would roll their eyes at that cliche but I honest believe it from the bottom of my heart ....

So many horrible, heart breaking things have happened to me and yet those steps on that path lead me to where I am right now .. so it has to have been meant to be.

THANK YOU all for looking at my work. I have been an isolated artist for my entire life. Drawing since I was tiny for the entertainment and satisfaction of no one but myself. Now I have all of you to look at my works and see them, witness them and that alone makes them worthy and worthwhile.

I will leave you to ponder this thought,

Is a great work of art still a great work of art if no one ever sees it?

Goodnight and Sweetest Dreams! ]]> ~Aazrielle
