How to mend a broken heart:

"out of sight , out of mind",

otherwise you keep seeing that person 

and it prolongs the pain.

It is possible to believe 

in something and 

be unable to live up to it.

If you dont ask for

 something you cant 

expect it to happen.

 sapping you courage and 

corrupting your judgement.

Almost Lover By A Fine Frenzy

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind,
Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images
No
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Yayoi Kusama

"If it were not for art, I would have killed myself a long time ago" -Kusama

Kusama experienced visual and aural hallucinations caused by rijin'sho (depersonalization syndrome). At the afge of ten she started painting polka dots, which later in her career became her trademark.


She staged events like body painting festivals, fashion shows and anti-war demonstrations. In which most included nudity.She never profited from her work but they were exhibited with artists such as Claes Oldenburg, Andy Worhol, and Jasper Johns. She expresses her obsession with repetition, patterns and accumulations in her work. She remarks herself as an 'obsessive artist', with her art expressing feminism, minimalism, surrealism, art burt, pop art and abstract expressionism.

More barge photos

Back from the Barge!!!

So i'm back from the barge.. 3 minute showers are not my specialty!! But i must say the bird watching was amazing!!! thousands of birds!!! egrets, kites, storks, ashy mini-vets, and we even saw a white throated kingfisher!!  Sitting here typing this i can still feel the sway of the boat...feeling a bit dizzy. We had to test the water quality of the chao praya river, BOD, TDS, nitrate, phosphate, turbidity, fecal coliform, etc. talk about a lot of work in a short amount of time, i couldnt do all the test and watch for birds!! My research question: Does the water quality of the Chao Praya River indirectly affect the bird populations? blah blah blah.... a 5,000 word report!! i have way too much to write..i need more then 5,000!!!! and its due in like ...a few weeks!! aauuuurrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!  

Enough about school!!! I got some funny shots of my friends.. 

Kyra, A. Melanie and me busy testing the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water!! 

(I'm telling ya, it's a pain in  the ass!!)

Barge

So now that im over my oh-so depressing state, im off to a brage trip in the chao praya river in bangkok. Ill take lots of photos and it should some what be fun.. i have no time to say anything further as im leaving in 4 minutes. gone till sunday!!!!!

something so random

With all the complications in life your mind can only take so much. Im sorry for all the mistakes i've done to the people i love. The ones I love and cant even be with.. the step forward is the hardest but its something everyone does, even more then once in their lives. The misunderstandings that consumes a person must be fought or they'll drown in the sorrow of the things they have lost. I am truely sorry for the chaos that has happened and promise the changes will only brighten both our lives.

The cradle of light

Last friday I found out that my photo got chosen as a finalist in the prem photo competition!!! I was ecstatic about it all!! But the winner was to be announced on Saturday at International day. Saturday came, and i waited till they were to announce the winner, but as i wondered though the stalls and lounged around the french stall i lost track of time and hadn't realized that they were announcing the winner in the auditorium. Next thing i know people are shouting for me any sayin I have won!!! I was in shock... i had to go on stage and take photos and everything...i was stiff. It hadnt hit me that i had won my first photography competition. I had won a printer, they said its worth more then 20,000 but im not sure. I have my eyes on a camera right now so i might sell the printer. I'll just have to wait and see!!!!!

Amazing street art photography

This here is just random. i was looking for art universities on the net when i dumbed onto this website with amazing street art. The never give the real names of the artists so I couldnt mark the photos as their work (I'm not marking it as my own-This is not my work!!!)

the floor is the ceiling, the ceiling is the floor

Today, just like most sundays was spent at home lounging around like a sack of potatoes. The lack of concentration in me is pathetic. I cant even get myself to do some art work. My mind evolves around something that is hard to let go..but as the days pass i think about it less and less.

 I feel like im on a roller coaster  ride, the one that you sit on a chair in a room and the room flips around. The ceiling is the floor and the floor is the ceiling. I sit on this chair and i can feel a pressure that makes me feel like im on the ceiling. No im not on any kinds of substances!!! Its this thing i've always had. Well not always but.... occasionally. I've always wondered if i was a little crazy.

Eyes on fire by Blue foundation

I’ll seek you out,
Flay you alive
One more word and you won’t survive

And I’m not scared of your stolen power

I see right through you any hour

I won’t soothe your pain
I won’t ease your strain
You’ll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain

I’m taking it slow
Feeding my flame
Shuffling the cards of your game
And just in time
In the right place
Suddenly I will play my ace

I won’t soothe your pain
I won’t ease your strain
You’ll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain

Eyes on fire
Your spine is ablaze
Felling any foe with my gaze

And just in time
In the right place
Steadily emerging with grace

Felling any foe with my gaze
Steadily emerging with grace
Felling any foe with my gaze
Steadily emerging with grace
