Human

"It's funny what a man will carry with him into battle when he thinks he will die." - unknown

On the beeches of Normandy. Two days after D-Day, when the U.S. sent thousands of its people to death, only winning after the enemy had run out of bullets, a platoon was sent to pick up American casualties.

Among the piles of bodies and pieces of limbs were found many things the soldiers had brought with them. Mountains of pictures and letters. Five Baseball bats. Three Footballs. Dozens of Crosses. Two Tennis Rackets... and one Teddy Bear.

We are all Human on the Inside. Even the most hardened of veterans and brutalist of Slaying Machines. It is only war that has made us this way. Do not curse the robbed for having the money to be taken. Do not spit on soldiers for being what War creates. Though they fight, they may not want to, but know that we have asked them too. Though they kill, they may not want to, but we have forced them to. Though they are human, and want to be, War does not allow it.

War Dehumanizes. Remember. On both sides. Everyone has slept, fearful, with a Teddy at one time in their life.

Things are looking up I suppose.

Life is a funny thing. How it changes overtime. How things we once thought rock solid melt into sand. How even our very mentalities and views shift. It's all about perspective I guess. You can look at anything in a positive manner. Change is just that, change. And when you find your suddenly knee deep in sand and not sure how you got there. Just fuck it. Build a sand castle. Life's to short for Malice or Despair.

Which I guess is what I'm buried in now. A shit ton of sand. My three year relationship with my girl friend has ended. It's saddening but were on better terms lately. I guess we both agreed we're the better from it. My ten year friendship with a former comrade has also fallen dead in it's tracks. I'm slowly forgiving my friend Kyle for his role in it. Only because he is taking steps in the right direction. I don't know if I'll ever feel the same about him though. One other 'friend' has shown his true motivations and he WILL NOT be missed. Altogether this was truly 90% of my life that fell like that of a mighty oak. Sudden, unforeseen, and earth shaking. Now all is silent.

However from the ashes there is always life if it's will is strong.

All of that has lead to becoming much better friends with Kayla, Matt, Sara, and others. Already I am having fun adventures with my friends and my beloved sisters again. It has also lead to the discovery of many new faces. I've been adventuring around the surrounding cities at all hours of the day and night now and have had many wonderful, fun, and enlightening experiences. Which just goes to show, fortune favors the bold, and ALWAYS talk to strangers because you never know where friends are hiding.

When it comes to how all this has affected my art. Which is what this place is about. I've been doing a lot more with my didge and Harmonica. I have gotten back into my scholarly ways, along with doodling more and painting some. Photography need not be mentioned because my camera is always attatched to me. I've been rocking out hardcore lately and enjoying it all. Which brings this piece to mind...


Rabble on my comrades.

I'm 19. Photography is something I love to do. I get a lot out of it physically, artistically and otherwise. I enjoy writing very much and it's the easiest way for me to get my idea's out. I ink all over my notebooks and any stray paper that lingers about for to long. I can't stand pencils. Digital art is a medium I really want to become proficient in. I'm a Pisces to the core and as such most of my reality takes place inside my head and my personality is everywhere depending upon the time of day.

This turned out to be a tad personal and I don't word getting out that I'm any kind of softie. Lol.

Feels good doesn't? I like em too. Makes me feel like I'm doing something worthwhile. And in fact you are. As I think I said before. It's not completely about your skill level. Which is definetly what all would call good. It's the fact you don't seem to be afraid to actually do this stuff. Actually get around to bringing many of your ideas to life regardless of how they might tunr out. It doesn't seem like your let yourself hold you back. My main reason for watching you was a slightly selfish one. It feels good to see an artist, who's level is atleast within sight of mine, (We're talking like otherside of the canyon here in case you actually think I'm lousy. lol. So no insult is meant.) actually sit down and make thier art. Damn thats ineloquent and makes little sense and is a rather delicate message I'm trying to get across. The point is I still make up reasons to not do something or what have you. Because I'm afraid of the result. A lot of people I know can relate to what feeling I'm trying to describe. I don't seem to have developed the passion for my work yet that you have. Enough to just do it without hesitation. Atleast when it comes to drawing and colouring. Which is really the thing I want to become proficient in. Anywho, I hope that comes across right.
