A dreamer...

"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world." - Oscar Wilde

Christina Perri - Jar of hearts

Here is the song: http://youtu.be/8v_4O44sfjM

So I found this awesome song, and love is so much, that I wanted to illustrate it visually.
Here is my representation...

Please please please

There is a wonderful old Italian story about an old man that goes to church every day and prays to the statue of one of the great saints: "Please please please will you let me win the lottery?", eventually the great statue comes alive and tells the man: "My son, please please please will you buy a ticket!"

My next tattoo!

I finally got it sorted. My next tattoo!

Rihanna & Beyonce

So I work for a huge firm, in their in-house design studio.
I love to sing, and have my earphones in most of the time.

This however causes a problem, as I love Beyonce and Rihanna I am often singing their songs. This however is where my problem comes in. Out of 50 other people in the Markets Department, I seem to be the only one who likes the queen diva's! Since I am not close to being shy and introverted, I sing it shamelessly!

I am sure, almost 100% sure, that I will get them to turn to my way eventually! I'm gay for fuck sakes, how can they not expect me to sing Beyonce or Rihanna?!

People, keep it real, keep it new and MOST importantly, keep it YOU!
They can look at you funny, judge or scorn, but guess what? They can do fuck-all about it!!

My current bestest Rihanna tune! Listen to it, and love it like I do!

Tragic Flaw

In 2010, I met a man that changed my life. As painful as that time in my life is, and how thankful I am for my friends for still sticking around during that time, I would never change it for anything.

To that end, I created an image, attached to some words, entitled "Tragic Flaw" Here it is:

The more things change the more they stay the same. At

the moment this best explains my tragic flaw. My inability

to change. The more I think about it, the more I realize

I am not alone in this. The more I get to know people,

the more I realize it’s kind of everyone’s flaw. Staying

the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still,

it feels better somehow, if you are suffering, it is at

least a pain that is familiar. Because if you took that

leap of faith, stepped outside the box, did something

unexpected, who knows what pain may be waiting there?

Chances are it could be worse. So you maintain the statusquo,

choose the road already travelled and it doesn’t seem

so bad, because as far as flaws go, you aren’t a drug

addict, you’re not killing anyone… except maybe yourself a

little.

When we do change, I don’t think it happens like an

earthquake or an explosion, or all of a sudden we are this

whole other person. I think it’s smaller than that, the

kind of thing most people wouldn’t even notice unless they

look really, really close, and thank God they never do. But

you notice it, inside, that change feels like a world of

difference, and you hope that is it, and you hope that this

is the person you get to be forever, like you will never

change again.

Sadly however, change is the inevitable occurrence, the

constant companion to life; most times it is for the

better, sometimes for the worse. But this cannot stop

us to take that leap of faith, step outside that box, or

stop us, hinder us, from doing the unexpected. The more

things change, the more they stay the same. This is our

tragic flaw.

So this is me!

Welcome world! The point of this blog, and i'm sure of a lot of blogs live today, is simply for me to get what is in my head (which is generally a lot of shit) into the universe. From my new bestest song, to something that makes me think, or makes me cry or even makes me laugh. I will put it on here.

Feel free to comment, hate, like or be indifferent. I'm not hoping to score points with anyone out there to be honest.

Keep it sunny side up!
