Life is grand.

Pics of my new graf endeavors coming soon. :~)

One is an addition to the white ink Namaste in Sanskrit on my right wrist, with a light blue moon. It means: evolving human mind/spirit, womanhood, sisterhood, it's the symbol of the goddess... pretty neat stuff. The other is a plain black musical natural symbol in the middle of my back right where my neck and shoulders meet. It, of course, sticks with my musical theme (I have a white ink treble clef on my right wrist), but this one also means natural progression of thought, logic, reason, and in extreme cases, atheism. I'm already planning my next one, a stylized treble clef drawn by my bu on the inside of my left ankle. Things things are like crack, I started planning my next one while Mikey was coloring in the moon on my wrist.

Other than that things are good - I finished Benazir's autobiography, moved on to Cry of The People, and have since began to plan out the next decade or so of my life in extreme excitement and trepidation. My mandolin has been a constant source of relaxation for me - guitar-type instruments are truly in a league of their own.

My bu and I are tighter than ever, and we've vowed to start a Critical Mass ride here in Milledgeville to remind motorists that bikes have a right to the road as well. I've almost gotten my ass flattened multiple times, not to mention I've been yelled at by cops to ride on the sidewalks, even thought it's ILLEGAL for cyclists to ride there! I won't bore you with how frustrating that is to me, I'm sure you can figure it out.

Anywho, that's about it... I just wanted to gush about my new ink!

VIVA!

Did some graf.
Had some mud fights.
School rocks. Started a kickass Feminist club, getting involved with the WRC on campus. Pretty exciting stuff.

People are so fucking awesome. Like... humans. In general. Fascinating.

Yeah. :~)

But I've been feeling some hardcore love for DA as of late. After skimming through a few amazing Photoshop tutorials, I've managed to crank out what I think are passable works, but I'm not confident enough to have them critiqued yet. I will soon though.

Other than that, life is... humid. I'm back in college, back in the south, back in the blissful routine where parents are nowhere to be found. My music has finally taken a front seat (our quartet has three gigs already!!) and I found out that we're playing "The Messiah" with a professional chorus come December... *has geeky orch-dork moment* YESSS.

Anywho, enough rambling... hope things are well with everyone!

In other news... there is no other news. :~)

Life is good, I can't really ask for much more than that.

They pretty much changed my life. Again.

I always feel so refreshed after going to a concert like that - there is something about going into a crowd of strangers and bonding on such a basic level through amazing music. Not to mention the mosh pits kicked ass - I saw one guy get picked up and thrown across the floor, only to be helped up and brushed off by dude who threw him. Everyone was there to help everyone else get their energy onto the floor.

I got the shit kicked out of my knee, but it hurts in a good way. It was humbling to be reminded of how...idk...mortal I am. A good ass-kicking will always put life into perspective.

I heard one of my females got to go backstage and rub up on the band members - Jamie, that was one for the hometeam. :~)

Sadly, I got no pictures out of the event. I decided to leave my camera in the car at the last second because I knew I was going to mosh, and I didn't want my baby getting all crushed up and ground into my thigh. You know how it is.

I had an amazing time with that awesome boy who took me.... love and hugs for you. <333

And now....now...I don't know. I'm feeling the need for new material to play with, so I've been taking my camera everywhere except the shower. Hmmm... that could make for some interesting material too.... eh eh eh. Maybe I will!

Oh and for those who are keeping up - I've finally ditched knitting for the time-being...and picked up crochet!! I'm working on this ridiculously badass lime green scarf...compliment me on it if you see me wearing it...I will be your friend forevermore.

Well I hope everyone is doing well...I won't promise new stuff soon, because we all know that would be a lie. I'm just ridin' dirty for now.

Peace, Love, and Crochet to all.

I finally got the cojones to trespass on the property where Focus was shot, and I got so many pictures I don't know what to do with them. :~P

I have two concerts coming up (Soilwork Nov. 1, Primus Nov. 6), but they're not typically an environment where you'd want a valuable electronic device of any sort, so I'm still debating whether or not to bring my baby along for the ride.

I plan on shang-hai-ing a few ridiculously attractive friends so I can deal a little more with people instead of scenery, just to see what I've got going on there.

And on a completely different note - go download Queensryche. They'll change your life.

Suddenly this guy started playing a song, and for the first time in the longest time, I completely lost myself in the music.

It was like the only thing in my brain was his guitar and voice, and it was lacing through all of my other thoughts and memories, drowning everything but peacefulness out.

I would have taken more pictures of him if I wasn't so damned entranced.

But yes, I am officially working on the series. I have two more concerts to go to set in stone... Lamb of God/Opeth at the Masquerade coming up on the 5th, and Primus on Nov. 6th.

In between those I'll be hitting up indie concerts and coffee shops like whoa, so there will be new-ish material every week or so.

Hope everyone is doing well, I sure as hell am.

I think I smell a series....

If all goes according to plan I'll be attending another concert, Primus, on Nov. 6th, so...keep an eye out!

Hope everyone is doing well.

(And yes, I'm doing all of those things simutaneously...I'm craazy!)

There will be more pictures than anyone can handle. Just give me about a week.

I'm like a fat kid in a candy store.

(I had a fucking blast.)

Downtown is my new favorite place.

Time for new beginnings, new friends, new relationships. I'm finished with false promises, empty excuses, county-regulated tests, drama, and whiny, selfish assholes.

New camera, new material to work with, new everything. All shiny and ready for me to love and hold dear. Which I plan to.

I'd just like to throw out a big FUCK YOU to everyone who thought they could screw with me. Anyone who thinks I'm sticking around, anyone who thinks I'll fall for the same trick twice.

Oh, and Alvin Wilbanks - I hope you rot in hell.

I've been using my little Sony T33 (which I love, thought it isn't as versatile as I'd like it to be...slim cameras are made for social outings, not artistic purposes. But I love it. Jojo.) as of late, and I've been knocking a few ideas around in my head for a series. I've had this site for so long, and I've never really put a lot of effort into editing and posting pictures. I feel like I'm just taking up space. So that is all going to change soon enough. So far I have a spinoff of the "Giants" pic for a series (please check out my feature, I'm really proud of it.) but who knows. I get distracted easily.

Other than that, life has been good, grades are up, I'm going to college, and I'm in love. There isn't much more to ask for. Except maybe the sudden and permanent loss of oh....20 lbs. That would just be icing on the cake. Dieting sucks.

I hope everyone else out there in DA is doing just as well, if not better. Until next time.....

I want to have sex with Apnea. Go into my favorites, my bookmarks, my fantasies...and she is there.

I'm not into chicks...I can just appreciate beauty and talent. I can appreciate it enough to want to hump it.

*whew* Okay, now that I'm out of the closet...

"Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn’t hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor."
~Hugh Elliott

"To listen closely and reply well is the highest perfection we are able to attain in the art of conversation."
~Francois de La Rochefoucauld


I need to change my habits. I'm going to become a better listener. That is top priority right now.

Then I'm going to learn to speak French, Spanish, and German.

Then I am going to start reading about Quantum physics, the universe, time travel, relativity, etc....because that stuff simply blows my puny little mind to bits.


But before I do that...I am going to read every classical novel that I can get my hands on. Time to broaden this small, narrow mind of mine.

And directly after that, I plan to have a creative genius with all of my wordly knowledge and understanding and wisdom - which directly translates to badass, intellectually stimulating pics.

Aw hell, I might as well take over the world while I'm at it.





Wish me luck. ]]> ~KeyboardConfessional http://KeyboardConfessional.deviantart.com/journal/5788301/ http://KeyboardConfessional.deviantart.com/journal/5788301/ Wed, 29 Jun 2005 05:45:13 PDT
Unlike the multitudes of raging, horny teens out there, when I click on a pic that looks like it has nudity, I don't do it to get a thrill of seeing boobies. I do it in hopes that someone actually took the time and effort to communicate some sort of idea/emotion through their artwork.

So you can imagine my chargrin when I'm looking through random galleries, and I find images of nude men and women that belong not on a respectable ARTWORK site, but a cheap porn site.

I'm so sick of these women to simply unbutton their pants and lift up their shirts, take a shot, then post it with a little devil emoticon in hopes of garnering attention and praise from their fellow deviants. It's absolutely disgusting. Then, of course, we have the men showing off their size and abs...just so the women have something to drool at.

Just because you are naked in a picture doesn't mean you are artistic. From what I've seen, it simply means that you can't get past your own vanity and need for attention.

Granted, if you scroll a little way through my favorites, you will see a few pics that I came across that actually fit their categories, and in my opinion, are wonderful works that should be appreciated.

I guess I'm just sick of these stupid crackheads who think that genitals and shitty backgrounds pass for noteworthy artwork.

Someone send me a note telling me something that I would never guess about you, or something interesting.

Just for the hell of it.

Thank you for your continued support and stuff, it makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside.



P.S. These emoticons...are incredible. Does anyone else have as much of a fascination with them as I do? They're simply amazing!

Just so you can know what to expect of my page - I am not one to go out and buy an expensive camera, take a picture, then come home and spend hours tweaking and perfecting it. I am nowhere near as talented as those people, and I can't help that I prefer my disposable camera over the one with more buttons and lights than a spaceship. :~) Granted I'll use my digital camera sporadically, just know that the things I post on my site are completely unalterd, and simply testaments to what I find beautiful in everyday life. I try to do the best I can with the lighting and angles, given what I have at the moment the picture is taken.

Well, thank you for your time, and I hope you all enjoy my work!
