I would love to be in India during Holi (Dhulheti, Dhulandi or Dhulendi). Their Festival of Colors. It looks so fun!

Folding clothes while watching a movie.

Watching movies on Netflix instanse watch. Got any recimidations?

Don't let your past hold you down. Don't let your present hold you back.

Little girl, keep your feet upon the trail. If you stray, you'll become a cautionary tale.

It is a beautiful day today. Just enough slight breeze to be nice and cool in the shade.

Sun Dried Tomato and Asiago Cheese Bread toasted for lunch is so good!

Conceptual Design

I really love conceptual design and any design ideas really. I think it comes from both wondering how and why things are done by people (the sociologist and psychologist in me) and creation of writing and art. Both of the later are all about creating a thing, person or place for your audience to see. For a while there in my teen I also thought about being a architect, that is until I found out that it was math heavy any that is a weak spot for me.

Anyway I love watching documentaries and behind the scenes and how-toes on DVDs and such. You know the uber long Matrix package with all the back story stuff and how they did it and hod like days worth of extras in it. Well that kinda of thing is for people like me.

Anyone remember or know about the book "How things Work"? I loved looking through the copy John got when I was a kid and knew it forwards and backwards when it was used as a teaching aid in my 8th grade science class.


Anyway I digress into what I wanted to post about.

So I like concept and design I love seeing concept sketches and rough drafts. Things that let me get inside a person's head and see what first came to mind and how it evolved into the finished product. I also love when people use thing in a new and exciting way.

For example have to seen those car seat buckle belts that people have fashioned into regular pants belts and buckles?



First time I remember seeing them was on some skaters at school and then when I went looking for them (I do this a lot go and seek info out on things that intrigue me and catch my eye or mind) in a skate clothes and parts catalog. The back story on them that I found many years back was that some people had stolen airplane belts or extension belts and mad them into regular belts for your pants. Like these. Not something you see everyday and thus catches my mind.

So when I saw another blogger wearing his shoulder messenger bag the clasp caught my eye.







It is a car belt buckle clasp. Neat idea! They are made by Chrome. Also I love messenger bags. There are just so many neat designs.

Sad thing is it comes in limited colors and I'll be saying for it for a few months at this rate. *sigh*

Anyway I just wanted to share my intriguing find (hey you I see you rolling your eyes) and also have this act as a reminder for me (yes I do do that a lot with my blogs).

”What you do with your life is just one half of the equation. More important is, who you’re with when you’re doing it.”

'musing Muses

To bad skill and talent does not keep up with imagination and the scary muses with the cricket bats (...if you ask about them they will come after YOU!).


With all the free time and very little brain occupation going on for the last several months of my trip back from Hell's LA-LA land I have had more then my fair share of time to think, plot and play with ideas.

Sucks that my skill level is "moderate" and the ideal level for my ideas coming out the way I see them in my head is "great" it makes me sad that I can't just wander around the in the woods and level those skills up to what I would want them to be. (gamers joke)

But real life practice is a similar and yet just as mind numbingly slow and tediously hard process. Whelp back to having my nose pressed to the grindstone.



I leave you with my new (ok this is months old and posted on another of my sites for quiet a bit but new here...) favorite saying: Lack of skill is no reason to put your tools down!






I have a better and longer post coming soon but just don't fee like grinding it out right now. Cheers my friends!

Can't sleep so I'm up folding clothes and watching a show on Hulu.

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

Today is a new day. A new chance to mess up again and to try all over again. When the sun comes up there will be even more chances then as well.

My great grandmother had a say, "If you don't laugh you'll cry". I think it is a great way to look at somethings in life.

Is extreamly happy about today!

I really hope it rains as its been blowing hard all day!

Are we Human or are we Dancer?

This is a great song and it was filmed in Southern Utah!

In the song it says "Are we human, or are we dancer?" this was taken from a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson. Thompson meant that the US was making people afraid of stepping out of place and following their own beat. He was saying that people were only following the steps they were taught, and were also taught not to change them.

So very sad when people feel the need to play the puppet master and pull others strings in the dark, thinking the rest of the world can't see them acting as a puppet master.

Even sadder when people do it to their loved ones. I pity and feel remorse for such cold and unloving people. Even more for the people that are made to jump at the whim of these people.

I'm human! Flawed but very much human! No one pulls my string from dark places.

-Song:



I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart...
Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You've gotta let me go

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer

You've gotta let me know

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Are we human
Or are we dancer?




Interesting that even Disney has the answer to this message...
But I'll get to that later. Night ALL MY FRIENDS!
