]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/9707392/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/9707392/ Sat, 12 Aug 2006 22:01:07 PDT ....well kind of.

1. I don't remember when I started drawing. I remember always drawing things I liked....like Looney Tunes "tazos" and making made up superhero comics where the main characters were me and my friends...but with superhero powers.

2. I never made a real painting until I was 18 in college. I always used pencils and pens for my drawings before that. After paint I discovered magic markers and fell in love with them. I started collecting them and ended up having to color coordinate them so I could find them quicker in the big marker bag.

3. I think my art grew a lot after I got in deviantart (which I don't remember how I got here in the first place) but watching other artists has always inspired me. Back in the day I looked up to many like: and many others. I always used to get inspired by their styles and somehow try to incorporate into my own making a mix of what I learned and eventually attempting to create my own.

4. I constantly change eveything I'm doing. I can't do the same things for too long or I will get bored. I try to make art on all types of surfaces with all types of materials. Everything art related I need to give a try because it's fun to me. Recently I like painting on musical instruments and making almost modern graphic design looking art.

5. I took a lot of art classes while growing up. Mostly basic stuff, like cartoon, comics, drawing clay models and some other stuff I don't remember. They helped out in many ways. But I think I learned more watching other people's art than the actual classes.

6. I like to draw people. I think it's challenging enough and for some reason they seem appealing to me. Humans, meh, I wish I was interested in a less evil animal but I guess it's a very interesting looking one. I like drawing or painting things that have meaning, or than you can find meaning to them. I don't usually like to draw things just "because". I feel like I waste my time doing things that don't say anything at all.

7. My favorite pieces are the ones that I pre-think a long time before actually doing them. If I think of what I want to do too much I will usually screw it up because I expect too much. I always end up trasforming what I wanted to do initially into something I like better. When It comes out bad I throw it away.

8. I don't feel bad destroying my art. It's kinda funny to me to see the expression on people's faces when I do that. Although I wouldn't really like to destroy some works....the ones that I have some kind of affection to them....that's a no no.

9. I think I have too much to learn in art. i can never be satisfied with what I'm doing and I always find people better than me who motivate me to be better and better. I hope someday I can be content with what I do. But then again, what after that?

10. I like showing my art to people. Comments about my art motivate me to make more. Bad or good, I like people to look at my things and tell me what they think. I sometimes feel bad about it, I feel annoying. Like if I was saying: "look at me look at me" but in reality I'm not. I just like it when people look at my things and have any kind of reaction towards it. That reaction is what I like the most.

There. I tag ....you fucker. ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/9383919/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/9383919/ Sun, 16 Jul 2006 10:38:47 PDT
I have decided to sell all my 8.5 x 11 drawings 1 dollar each one, to see how much money I can make off that. If anyone is interested in one tell me. If you do not live in Puerto Rico I will mail it to you but it will be $1 plus shipping and handling...that's all all....

cambio cambiando mis cambios
para cambiarlos en otra cosa
que no sea lo mismo
porque lo mismo ya aburre
lo mismo ya suele doler
de tanto haberse gastado
Sol que sales a las 5 y 40
dime que sera del año que te acompaña.
Dime que se quedara conmigo

Ya porfin las olas se calmaron
y he parado de tirar piedras al mar.
Tengo lo que antes creia tener
y he escuchado parte del secreto
que tanto trato de decifrar.
Todavia hay un mundo afuera
fuera de mi pequeño existir
que se derrumba mas por el pasar del tiempo.
Tiempo que siempre parece balancear
todo en la balanza del balance
y que no valga la redundancia nunca mas.
No me importan las palabras
ya me cansa el tener que pensar
como las voy a usar.
Asi que cambia con el cambio
a ver si no cambia nada

pero yo no quiero bajar. ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/4624868/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/4624868/ Sat, 19 Feb 2005 20:33:14 PST ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/4324459/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/4324459/ Sat, 15 Jan 2005 06:02:45 PST we tied them into knots,

de esta vida sin ti
sin ninguno de aquellos
aquellos que cierran sus ojos a mi mirada
perdidos en un mar de telarañas
como aquel que me dio vida
no me importa, no le importo
negativo mas negativo
en este caso supongo que es neutral
Pero poco a poco me doy cuenta
de un patron repetitivo
el se centra en el olvido
que ya poco a poco me voy acostumbrando
Los recuerdos me persiguen
pero tengo que intentar quemarlos
y tirar las cenizas en la playa
para que el mar de las lleve
tanto mar, tanto mal
por qué porque?
esa es buena pregunta
supongo que el dia que la conteste
sabre el porque de todo
de porque me olvidastes
de porque me abandonastes
de porque ignorastes
todo...eso es todo
Los caminos se separan
no hay nada entre ellos
poco a poco ya ni te veo en la distancia
asi que imagino que moristes
dudo que haya vuelta atras
es muy tarde para regresar todo eso que caminamos
y volvernos a encontrar
en ese punto separativo
y volver a estar juntos?

Me acompañaba en mi imaginacion
acostado en una hamaca
Despues de que el tiempo ha pasado
y mis horas ha consumido
me pregunto si aquel beso
debio haber sido prohibido
pq casi somos amigos
y todo lo aguanta un hilo
pq ni me atrevo a saludarla
ni a dormir mientras vivo
Porque digo vivir
y no se si me hace daño
pero no me dan los dedos
para contar cosas que extraño
y si la vida tuviera "undo"
cambiaria todo y nada
pq ya ni me acuerdo
si fue real o fue un cuento de hadas?
Los atardeceres que vi
en el reflejo de sus ojos
mientras las olas regalaban
sonidos que todavia recogo
Cuando la veia dormir
en su tranquilidad mas serena
cuando cambiaba el color
de su loca melena
Cuando espere por 2 horas
afuera de su casa
Cuando yo me reia
y no se lo que pasa
Cuando fui a San Juan
y no sabia donde estaba
Todas las llamadas recibidas
que nunca costaban
Cuando volamos chiringa
y la de ella no volaba
Cuando vi 2 peliculas
mientras ella cagaba
Cuando nos levantamos
a las 6 de la mañana
fue lo mejor que ha pasado
a las 6 de la mañana
Cuando me hizo 2 cds
con muchas canciones
ya me se la letra
todas las anteriores
Cuando se tumbo unas gafas
del supermercado
Cuando compramos juntos
su mantecado
Cuando reaimos de todas
las estupideces que habian
Las horas pasaban
y yo me perdia
Cuando me gusto mucho
y pense que era deprisa
Cuando todo se quemo
solo quedo las cenizas
cuando me pongo a pensar
en un pasado perdido
pero que a cada rato me tropiezo
y vuelve a ser descubrido
y entre unos cuantos
y pocos "te quiero"
nunca supimos
quien se canso primero? ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/3439892/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/3439892/ Fri, 24 Sep 2004 22:43:51 PDT but at the same time try to forget
I live in a present that's the bloom of a past
and the question mark of a future
I remember each and everyone of them
how one by one I fell short
to their expectations
Me and my head
oposing theories
A black sky that's unforgiving
So many moments
just don't fade away
and I wish...I could just find
meaning to all of this
for once know the why
of an upside down life
The 8 of my existance
None of them understands
...understood
what is the me
because the me didn't understand him either
And each day I wake up
just before the alarm clock goes off
and I know it's going to ring
but I lie in bed until it does
How I hate that sound ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/2991432/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/2991432/ Wed, 28 Jul 2004 21:05:51 PDT Light meets dark
A beautiful moon on the skies
decorates my darkests days
She lies by my side
while all these thoughts
fly from inside my heart
to a star I named after her
Will I ever see this star again?
Do stars ever stay still?
I'll find out some day
when dark meets light again
maybe she'll be there
and I can look in her eyes ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/2918885/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/2918885/ Mon, 19 Jul 2004 12:54:56 PDT ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/2375508/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/2375508/ Thu, 06 May 2004 22:09:13 PDT thinking about all of this has turned into fright
Alone in the multitude
Alone at home
No one to call
Everyone is gone
Perhaps one moment is left to say
I am so sorry, and promise I'll pay
if I'm not paying now
I will very soon
in my last breathes of air
A toast goes to you
Forget the silences in between
The hi, the bye, and the images seen
A small something in your eye
meant so much to me
I can't promise you much.
Some night, or day, I'll leave ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/2227727/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/2227727/ Thu, 15 Apr 2004 08:37:56 PDT Seems to me like people are randomly placed on this earth to find each other
Seems to me like friends are never found when you really need one and the ones that you find you don't want them near you.
Seems to me like I can never win anything
Seems to me like my destiny is already written even if I don't believe in such thing
Seems to me like I'm loosing my mind
Seems to me like I'm hungry
Seems to me that I really don't understand this
Seems to me that I'm going to go away now, open the fridge, get something that I can cook really easily with a microwave, it will turn out bad cuz i'm a horrible cook and when I eat it it will still be frozen in the middle but it seems to me that I won't really have enough will to get up again and re-heat it so I'll just eat it like that and....
Seems to me that nobody cares. ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1968994/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1968994/ Sun, 07 Mar 2004 15:20:49 PST Night fell over my head without me even noticing
Seven o clock used to be so beautiful
but beauty always ends.
I am stranded right here in the belly of this existence
Not dead, nor alive,
I don't know what I am
And no one can tell me
I wait for a new day
where instead of the annoying sound of my alarm clock
A light will sofly wake me up one morning
Maybe tomorow, or the day after that
I don't know that either...
But that dream keeps me walking ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1707390/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1707390/ Mon, 19 Jan 2004 15:31:02 PST Beneath the big bright ceelings I walk alone
I wonder what's happened those days
Did they fade away like you?
What happened to that joy that used to make me smile
And how come it's so easy for you to forget
You probably think about me in regret
As my tears drop into the human sea below
I'm tired, I can barely walk
And little stones now tear me appart so easily
I know you said you didn't like the way I was always sad
But how can I be happy without you?
I know no other way...
I wonder how you do it
I wonder if you think about me when you see couples in the mall
I wonder if you see our ghosts have fun like me
I wonder if you cry everynight when you think about me
I wonder if you would do anything for love
I wonder if our friendship will work or will rott away in time
I wonder if you even think about me when your with him
I wonder if your happy
I wonder if I need to forget and if you already forgot
that one day I said I love you
and you said me too
Because right now it doesn't feel like that
Because right now I'm alone
My voice echoes into the hallway
my wonders won't leave me alone
and I feel everything I had once again leave me
I'm sick of this life
and there's no rain to hide my tears in ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1690497/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1690497/ Fri, 16 Jan 2004 14:02:48 PST ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1589138/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1589138/ Sat, 27 Dec 2003 06:12:48 PST My heavy soul could harldly be carried now.
Diversity was the word hidding behind the door
Hardly I looked up at the human sea grow
There were black people, white people
Yellow people and brown people.
There were punks, rappers, country and party people.
Fat or skinny, happy or sad people
You could see them all at once
Though some of them you saw once
Before in a far distance inside your past
Some of them you'll never see again
and some of them will bump on you one day
So in this multitude I realize
What must be idolized
Gift of life, for every single one of them has one
A little world of their own they try to fix
Worlds that most of them don't mix
I wonder then with all these worlds in front of me
Why would I care about just one of these worlds?
Why does she make my heart just twist and twirl?
Why does my life and my world belong to her?
Why am I another fool in love with her?
Just one world in this sea of human diversity
is all that matters to me
I wonder if she would look at me from the other side
and see my world crashing down for her
maybe she'll care... ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1573274/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1573274/ Tue, 23 Dec 2003 14:43:08 PST ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1519307/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/1519307/ Thu, 11 Dec 2003 03:51:10 PST wah.

worlds fall appart

while we all stare at the stars

it makes him deaf
makes him escape
from this world of death

step out of your world
amazed at what you found

see it falling appart

Too Late


A drop of rain falls into the ocean
Silent as the sun washes away
And the birds now sing their songs
And you know that this can’t stay

Well it all seems to be fading
And the corners now all seem blurred
As you lie down for a second
And you realize that you’re not sure

Realizing your existence
And how small you seem to be
In this world, what are your troubles?
In compared to all, you see?

As a tear runs down your eye
And you realize your fate
What’s to do? Who to call for?
Turn to me? No it’s too late
No it’s too late
No it’s too late
No it’s too late ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/902069/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/902069/ Wed, 02 Jul 2003 17:39:00 PDT ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/725858/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/725858/ Thu, 15 May 2003 16:35:46 PDT

It allways seems funny to me how things turn out, they turn out good or bad it allways seems to amaze me for some reason. I always try and understand them but I never can. Well anywayz lots of things have happened to me in the last few days, I thought I had cancer which gave me just a little bit of fear that I might have died and made me think twice about wishing for my death so much. I wrote a song about it, came out preety good I must admit. Also my long time friend is now dating my ex-girlfriend and that just made me feel like I was living on another one of those crappy tv shows where they subconciously debate if dating your friend's ex-girlfriend is ok or not. Is it ok? I don't know, my ex-girlfriend dumped me so I guess I still had feelings for her, but at the same time I had so much anger towards her, and while I was still thinking what I felt for her, my friend stepped in and dates her now? I don't know if I have a problem with that, I don't want to get in the way of love but I gotta tell you it hurts sometimes to see him have what used to make me happy. Because I'm not a really happy person to say the least but when I was with her I was for some reason dispite all the fightings. She dumped me and my mind just kind of split into so many pieces I don't now what I am anymore, happy? sad? confused? maybe I don't really know, I think I'm going insane if I"m not already. I guess all I need is love? Not many people know my father has abandoned me for a long time now which sucks ass because I really would want him to be here right now and teach me all the other shit parents teach their children. My mother has to work most of the time, seems like she spends more time talking on the cel phone than she does sleeping. And my sister and I have almost nothing in common so we just don't even interact with each other otherwise we'll end up fighting. And to this all I have left are my friends who I can probably say are the only reason for me to be happy but I don't know...I don't think that's enough... I mean my band's great and I have so much fun trying to get famous (lol) but I don't know, for some reason something is always missing and I NEVER fucking know what it is. Pisses me off! GURR! But for what it's worth I just don't try and think so much, just keep my mind of my problems and concentrate on stupid things that make me laugh. Like watching the most childish cartoons or listening to funny songs or playing guitar (that doesn't really make me laugh but keeps me busy.) ]]> ~jstr http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/682953/ http://jstr.deviantart.com/journal/682953/ Fri, 02 May 2003 21:46:17 PDT
