"Music is a reflection of self, we just explain it."

 Let me give you some free advice: never listen to a word I say.  |  I have been searching all of my days, and the days keep turning into nights.  |  I've got all these thoughts just floating through my brain.  They bump and the collide and cause a flurry of confusion.  |  I need to pour out this expensive dose of words.  |  The problem was what I couldn't avoid.  |  Memories seep from my veins.  |  It makes me smile just thinking about those days down south.  |  I'm alive, so alive.  |  It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland.  |  I wake up to the sound of music. 
The whole poem consists of lyrics from over 100 different artists. And there are 140 lyrics.  All on one 8.5" x 11" page.  Yeah.  It's going to be awesome.  See picture from previous entry for a sneak peek.

I had this great new idea today!  What if I painted/drew my own Christmas cards?!  I may just be adding to my pile of work, but I think I want to give it a shot.  So in the spirit of the 12 days of Christmas, I will paint 12 Christmas cards! Again, this will be first come, first serve!

"Why I'm Dysfunctional Today"

Things I've learned about being in the "real world" so far/or what I have experienced while still living with my parents:    Since I now schedule my own work time...                I like to get projects done one at a time before moving onto another one,         which then results in me undertaking this huge project, and working on that-which is usually not that important-not getting anything else done all day, and then wearing myself out because I feel like I didn't do anything (since I haven't finished the project).          That being said, I think all projects I have will take 1-3 days tops.  Not even close.         So then I tried to move on to scheduling my days about hour by hour, or 2-3 hours at a time.  This result?  Spending way too much free time on the computer and talking to friends, or not accounting for travel and eating time....

Some of you may know already, but for the past 11-12 weeks, I have been reading "The Artist's Way-Walking in This World" by Julia Cameron.  And I have already learned a great deal about myself, my art self, and fueling my creativity.   So for this post, I am extending on one of the "tasks," as well as sharing a tidbit of what I read.  "As artist's, we routinely tap an inner well, and the well is fed by our spiritual condition.  When we have kept our spirit carefully nurtured, the creative water seems to flow easily.  When our spirit is dried out with unacknowledged discouragement, our inner well runs dry."  "As artists, we don't want to be petty, but the truth is, we need  to be.  If we try to 'let go of' a creative slight, we very often simply bury it.  There, tucked neatly into our subconscious, it can do its slow and poisonous work.  Too embarrassed to repeat the 'tiny' comment to a friend on the way out the door fr...
