Risky business

Posted on November 29, 2011 | Leave a comment

Lesson of the day c/o brundiggity:

Take risks, take lots of them. Do things that you’re afraid to do so that you don’t ever spend a day wondering “what if?”

This has been a truly hard lesson to learn, but the more risks I’ve taken, the more I’ve gotten to know and truly appreciate the person I am, and that is undeniably worth every single risk.

Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it.

They’re dementors!

Expecto Patronum then chocolate. Problem solved.

I’ve recently stumbled upon a correlation that is VERY important.

In life, when things go bad and you feel like your soul has been sucked right out of you, you have some chocolate and it makes you feel better.

In Harry Potter after the Dementors come by and do their whole soul-sucking thing, you have some chocolate and it makes you feel better.

HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS BEFORE?!?!

The joy of drawing

Posted on November 22, 2011 | 3 Comments

It’s official, gone are the days of digital drawing via trackpad. Today my new Wacom Intuos4 graphics tablet arrived, and after spending the last 3 hours playing with it, I’m in love. The same kind of love I felt the first time I used a mac.

I’ve wanted a graphics tablet for years, and now, just a few short hours into having one, I’m wondering why it took me so long to get around to it. Get ready 3 readers, I’m about to get all crafty on your asses. Imma start to draw soo many happy little trees I might  break out a Bob Ross fro.

Beautiful mess

Posted on November 22, 2011 | 1 Comment

or maybe just a mess period. Here’s the deal, I have a good life overall, and I’m very grateful for all the things in it (even if I complain sometimes). But I’ve been in a very melancholy mood as of late and all I feel like is being sad and posting lyrics from overtly emotional songs that I feel really capture how I “feel” right now. Songs about rain, and the inability to breathe, know what I mean? I’m like a tumblr photo of train tracks with a helvetica type quote on it that has this really deep meaning. I’m letting Florence + the Machine and Adele’s delicious melodramatics take over my entire psyche.

That’s about to be over though, not the listening to Florence/Adele, that’ll never end. The feelings however, all 70 000 of them need to be stowed away in a pretty little box somewhere in the far back. It’s time to pull up my invisible bootstraps and put the pieces of whatever is broken back together. Even if I maybe want to leave some of them strewn on the ground like Hansel and Gretel hoping to find their way back home. It’s time for Britney Spears and the dancing, definitely the dancing.
