Quotable pt. 2

For the days when I feel very different from the majority, I remind myself this may in fact be a good thing. Here are some sweet quotes:

Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive.

You've got enemies? Good, that means you stood up for something in your life.

Before you diagnose yourself with depressions or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

May the bridges I burn light the way.

Concepts

I would love to try these concepts in some of my work...

Earrings

Objective:
Every time I visit a new place, I like to look around to find a unique pair of earrings. Jewelry can be such a fascinating form of art and it always amazes me the how many designs can be transformed into a little sculpture that hangs for your ear.

Here is my progress thus far:

Blue Voices

Two of my favourite bluesy voices will live on through their beautiful music.

Etta James

My Dearest Darling

Amy Winehouse

You Sent Me Flying

When great artist's like these pass, it's always as if you lose someone you know. In a way, you get to know artist's better than anyone you know in person. Everything about them is portrayed through the raw emotions reflected in their music. For the avid music listener, they still live on in their music, but it's sad to know that the anticipation of more creations is over.

Dreaming

Why is it that once I'm awake, I don't want to sleep and once I'm asleep, I don't want to wake?

I suppose I know the answer but I think some balance would be nice.

I am a dreamer. Every night is like watching an 8 hour movie that makes no sense but is ultimately action packed. I have reoccurring themes, but never reoccurring dreams. Zombies is a very popular one. This doesn't surprise me since I have a secret fantasy that I will one day be able to survive through a zombie apocalypse. Flying is another one. But one I have been having most recently is feeling so tired in my dream that I am falling asleep within my dream. And from there I end up dreaming again.

Wow, talk about the things your brain will do to make sense of things.
