                <description><![CDATA[ Well, my lifes pretty much on the  waiting period. After school got out, I  now have to become what I knew I had to  be sooner or later...so now im working  my way out into the world...slowly but  surely. Its been about 3 years of me  living here in this part of Arizona,  its mostly just farmland as far as you  can see. Sometimes I miss Phoenix, and  the life I used to have there. Being  here can do things to you, it gives  plenty of time for  solitude...lonliness...and many other  unpleasant thoughts that dont seem to  go away.Another day of complete  contemplation, trying to find a way to  sustain myself and not feel so rotten.  A complex situation had pinned me here,  unable to do much, until just  recently...I feel as if the feelings I  had were with me all along, just  growing worse as I moved here.I care  not to bore you much more with myself,  but what I mean is that theyre  there...and I feel them.The  helplessness...<br />
Well, now that I have a car, things are  starting to look up. I dont feel that  it should be okay that after I have  experienced the things that I have that  I let them stay inside; I figure I can  maybe help if I release them...into  art.Things, that make you cry, or make  you numb, things that scare you or make  you wither inside...I think each and  every person alive has felt this at  liest once...searching for a way to  live, that can easily become a way to  want to die.<br />
	Does it make sense, that the things  that are supposed to make us  happy---pain us, and the things that  pain us, help us to survive? This is  one of the many questions I ask  myself...and why we choose to be  decadent instead of searching deep  within our own haunted thoughts for a  way to cure ourselves? We shy  away...how long until the friends that  would help us dont want to help  anymore? I know that I am young--and  you can easily ask yourelves 'what does  he know.'<br />
Whether or not how old I am...I choose  unlike most, to find whatever I can  down in my thoughts and ideas--to help  people, that is what I know.In that if  I have helped at liest one in any way  possible, than the message through my  art would have accomplished its goal.<br />
<br />
Sorry, I tend to write like  this...heh...<br />
<br />
Otherwise, I try to make good  artwork-lol. I was born into an  artistic family, thankfully--my mother  drew and sang, and from that I was  inspired. She taught me enough to get  me started, and from there I became  enfatuated with it all. Events in my  life that had meaning to me, I never  thought to of put it to good use until  just recently...powerful, parts of my  life I wont forget, will now be drawn,  and submitted in this gallery.<br />
<br />
Well yeah, I hope you like whats coming  soon *dances happily*~~okees, ill be  quiet now and just let you look around.  Uhmmn, be sure to check by again,  thanks ^__^<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone. Those of you that dont  know me, I'm Cordis, and this here is  my site for Deviant Art. Those of you  that do know me, have seen my stuff at  my first DA site called Flaccidsoul <a href="http://flaccidsoul.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar"  src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/l/flaccidsoul.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="" /></a>.  Pretty odd name, ya think?<br />
	Well, onto my point<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />. I believe that  everyone is not just one thing. We are  different shades, or facets...we're our  own brand of ourselves; and we show  that through these facets. Flaccidsoul,  was a very odd name, it was at a time  when I didnt know fully what I wanted  to call myself, I love to draw fantasy  art, but another part of myself wanted  something...--more 'me'. Flaccidsoul  was the part of myself that I wanted to  introduce to everyone, but how...I felt  as if I need another facet of myself to  be shown to everyone.<br />
	I draw fantasy art, and thats nice n'  all, but its just not me personally. I  believe every artist has at liest one  thing they want to communicate through  thier artwork. My Fantasy art is a way  I ignore how I feel, but drawing dark  art is the way of letting it out. There  is a type of truth to dark art that I  admire; sure, not everything is dark in  real life, but...my intentions for this  DA site is to show you what goes on in  my mind, and through that, maybe I can  communicate something meaningful and  helpful. There is at liest--in everyone  of us, a side of ourself we dont like.  We can either run from it, or learn  from it (like Rafiki said on Lion  King-lol).<br />
	Im going to take what I know & what I  feel, deep down within myself, and im  going to pull it out and show it to  you. Everything that I do, I know that  im not alone in, the message I hope to  define in this DA site is the human  struggle we all go through, be it one  thing or another.Loss, Sacrifice,  Patience, Weakness, Pain, Lonliness,  Silence, Questions...and then theres  the happy little things, friends, pets,  and the events that are bad that make  us just a little stronger and wizer;  All what life is about, but was never  taught to us at all. Its like a little  phrase I had to learn, 'the things that  should make us happy, pain us, and the  things that should pain us, keep us  alive." These things cant be taught,  they have to be experienced and felt to  be understood.Thats the difference  between the two sides of myself, one is  the Fantasy realm, where I love to be,  but the other side of myself is  supressed. It needs an outlet,  hopefully to its upmost artistic merit.<br />
<br />
Hrmmn, I hope that its good enough for  you to come back, and not too blunt to  be turned off by.<br />
<br />
<br />
(P.s.- the name "Cor-Cordis" comes from  the latin word meaning the heart, or  the "seat of all emotion." It took  forever to find something that seemed  to fit, and wasnt already taken on  Deviant Art [which I pick on the people  openly that have the names Tool,  Nocturna, CrestFallen, Holloweyes,  Hallowedsky, Hollowsky and many others  I wanted-lol]. Anyways, yes, that is  the meaning behind the name. ]]></description>
