Hope the meeting went well what ever it was. I picked your icon because of the violin and was hoping you'ld have a piece or two to share.What are your real wishes in the "real world"? Any how if you get a chance check my little violin drawing on my portfolio. You sound like a winner even though you verbally seem to suggest something different.Have a great day.

Your Film interests are very interesting - I love "Red" and "Blue". (But what happened to "White"?).

well. every beginning has a beginning.
I know what you mean about this changing the way we communicate and there being a sort of wall between us. I rarely show my art to those around me. I keep it hidden if I keep it at all. But I wanted to break out of that. For me it feels like this is sort of a safe place to reveal yourself, I guess because of that wall. I dont think it feels false neccessarily. If someone reviews you work harshly it is easier to brush it off than if it were a friend and you can maybe learn from it with a bit of detachment. On the flip side since more people are viewing your work you are likely to recieve more praise, which makes you(or at least me) more motivated to keep creating that type of art. This whole experience has been nothing but positive for me so far so I'm glad I put myself out there. I'm sure you'll find the same. Thank you for sharing yourself with us!

well. every beginning has a beginning.
i guess i mean, it forces us to communicate through a wall. the internet. maybe any canvas. any expression of art that isn't face to face. theater is very close to my heart for that reason. i don't mean that visual art of any kind is less art-y than physical art....

i think what i mean is this. one of the functions of the internet is to communicate. and i do that. effortlessly, almost, with total strangers sometimes (you, reader, being one) and yet in "reality", i do not do this, would never do this.

so i guess i mean for me specifically. i don't hate the internet. plenty of good can come from the internet. but i think it is changing the way we communicate, the way i communicate, and it's scary to think that i can write poetry, and care about it, and not show it to the people i care about, but put it up here. does that seem false to anyone else?

why i write.
Brilliant. The imagery is phenminal. I like the way you write. Perhaps it is an insight into how your mind sees?

So, do you mean the internet is a false canvas in general, or simply for you specifically? =)

i didn't quit

Mar 07, 2008

i'm still in the rat race. ugh. and late for it.

i'm always late. i feel like its impossible to be on time sometimes. even when it's something i care about. not sure why this is.

on an uplifting note, i'm about to take a trip--to austin, texas. i've only been one time, and the only thing i remember is a ten-foot statue of stevie ray vaughn next to the river. it was pretty impressive to little twelve-year old me. i think it was after this trip that i really started listening to music more, though i'm not sure what seeing stevie had to do with that. maybe his spirit shot me with a little music-lover's arrow.

anyway, this time i'm going back to see and play a lot of music, and i'm really excited. to be able to perform, to be able to meet others who do what i do....and obviously, the 78 degree forecast is really exciting to me right now. in michigan we're 6 inches away from breaking the record snowfall, and there's about 12 inches projected for this weekend. i always thought i was more of a winter kind of girl, but i've never looked forward to sunshine more in my life.

and.....i'm still late.

any suggestions as to where i can get some good barbecue in austin?
