Geomotry

Its always difficult to know where exactly to start. When drawing i know everything is a shape with more shapes around it, so you start with the biggest shapes. I recently started sketching again. I looked over my old sketchbook, and found all the drawing of when i was going through a divorce. I guess this was a starting point seeing as how it was where i left off.

Back then it was my journal, my emotions ran like a pendulum, my way of expressing.

I would sketch what i felt, wilted rose with petals all on the floor one petal hanging on still. things like this gave hope, but also you could see not much. I would draw beautiful scenes, pictures and hours later go back and run red sharpies through things. Looking at the book i relived almost every conversation, every meeting, every feeling, every emotion.

Guess true art come from heartbreak

I had to stop, it was my outlet, but needed an outlet from my outlet. Escape was a paradox. I had passion, love, hate, anger and everything, but could not separate between the person i was drawing about. I did not want to grow to hate art also.

A year later, I have new paper, new pencils, new red sharpies, and new shapes. Perhaps this time around the heart shaped pieces will be complete.

does size matter?

When I go out on the weekends i usually always get the question, "your tall, how tall are you?" from women. its a simple get to know you banter type question and could place many new threads along with it. Also everyone who ever meets me, or i meet always always asks it. women are so predictable.

do to the predictable nature of people, I try to come up with ways to joke with people when asking mundane boring question. (note to girls: if you hate guys asking the same interview type questions on dates or whenever, try not to do the same.)


Her: how tall are you?

Me: I'm 9'4" although most men over estimate size not that it matters...


ill usually deflect her onto another subject at this point. I'm pretty good at that I'm told.

"Just like the lady in a blue dress,
You've got cigarettes on your breath.
Hair spray and some cheap perfume.
I'll put a little sour in your sweet,
You've got so much fucking tongue in cheek.
You want what you could never have.
You say that you want respect
Well then you better get some for yourself.
'Cause all that I see right now,
Is someone who's lost and insecure.
So you say that I am rated X,
You suffer from the lack of sex.
Black heart and your lipstick smeared.
Your points are trite and I'm too sober
To deal with you running over
Your same pathetic cliche lines."
senses fail

shhhh!

I think its about time i gave a tip for the fellas out there on how to pick up on a female. not just any female, no sir. a fine female who happens to be at a library, or any other venue where words must be kept to a minimum.

The keys to pulling this off is to be bold, and confident

you need to get her attention for a brief moment, flash her a smile. if she flashes one back, touches her hair, or any other preening gesture, your in there. All you have to do is act.

If nothing, better luck next time "nova."

Got her attention, she knows your there, sexual tension in the air! (probably not but hey, we all want a hot librarian from time to time) now your move: pull out a piece of paper draw yourself a tic tac toe game, write loser buys coffee, drop it off at where ever she is and sit. ballsy i know but she will giggle or think your a complete jerk, but at least you know where she stands.

Now of course this alone will not get her on a date with you. I even bet if you do get her number she flakes because that's what women do, but that's another day and time. ciao!

Lately I have been asked "what type of music do you listen to?" okay so i get it almost daily, and since i really do not have a definitive style or type of music i put the trusty ipod on shuffle and here are the first five songs in a random order of course.

"Quicksand" by 8mm
This is quite possibly my favorite band at the moment, they are good to listen to no matter what mood your in.

"Bang bang (my baby shot me down) by Nancy Sinatra
Its simple and always makes me want to watch Kill Bill.

"Over Now" by Day Two
Love this band, but they are no longer, They have a melodic screaming way about them, if you want more they go by Mutton Hollow now, but have changed singers.

"November Rain" if you don't know who this is by then you can leave now.
I think this song speaks for its self, don't you?

"Honey, this mirror ain't big enough for the two of us" by My Chemical Romance
This was off their first album, just the title of the song strikes a cord with me but with lyrics like;
"well you can try all you want
I don't care how much (screaming)
you invest yourself in me
were not working out"
Took the words right out of my mouth.

as a bonus #6

"Alfie" by Lily Allen
Her songs are just happy bouncy little numbers, cheer you up no matter what mood your in.
