Thoughts


We kill it, we create it, we spend it, we save it, we waste it, we make it, we find it, we lose it, it flies, it crawls, and it stops altogether - time.




Do we see ourselves as backwards as mirrors show us to be?




Doesn't it sometimes seem like dreams happen underwater? The haziness, the murkiness, the darkness, the slow passage of time, the difficulty to run, the silence...


We don't know what might or might not have been, had certain individuals not trusted their initial instincts. How much have we lost as a result of deliberation and indecisiveness? How many opportunities and precious moments have been squandered? Time slips through our fingers like sand through a colander; the moment we decide to make something of the present, it has already moved into the past.



What is the meaning of perfection? What point of reference do we use to determine the level of perfection? Because you get straights A's, have a functional home, always stayed on the right path, obeyed authority...you're perfect? And he - who dropped out of high school, made a mess of his life, befriended the wrong people and made some bad choices...he's imperfect? What about her - who's eyes are the color of the sky, hair is the natural color of sand and features are all aligned and exactly symmetrical? Is she perfect? And you - with eyes a little too far apart, a nose a little too long, hair that falls limply and a little unevenly to your shoulders? Are you imperfect? Compared to a perfect, 360^ circle, an ellipse is imperfect. But what about if you compare a circle to an ellipse?...the circle would be imperfect! That's because a circle is a perfect circle and an ellipse is a perfect ellipse. Comparing one to the other is like comparing apples and oranges...of course they'll have failing results because an apple isn't an orange and an orange isn't an apple!! Society is acting as a factory, manufacturing products which are exactly identical...if one is a little bent, or torn...it gets discarded. We are not products!!! We are people! Each with a unique job and destiny on this earth! GD makes no mistakes...He only makes people who make mistakes, but that's the beauty of man. We are all perfectly imperfect.



Fallen doesn't have to mean broken if you know how to fall



Alice only stumbled into wonderland by wandering...if we won't venture to explore the world around us, we'll never discover its wonders.



Art is not about what you see, but rather, about what you see. It's about making others feel an experience with you and allowing them to understand your unique interpretation of that experience. 



Longer than the return line to give back bold choices, is the trail of blood leading to killed time, lost opportunities and grave mistakes. 




People are like the ocean: the deeper you go, the darker it gets



The truth is everything has depth; you just need to be willing to look beyond the surface.



Don't ever judge the girl you used to be; one day you might need her.

Every drawing is an illusion Appearing to contain depth To be genuine But come too close and you’ll fathom It’s nothing more than a flat illustration Sitting on an 8 by 11 Limited to a world in the second dimension .1 millimeters is apparently not deep enough To reach for a long-lost memory To stretch for a time yet to be Bound to an eternal present Paper-thin people Stuck inside a four-cornered border Machine-cut No room for error For messy mistakes Flat images, shallow minds, lacking depth What you see is all that you can ever hope to get No hidden sides No turned faces No secrets stashed away in dark places No questions desired to be answered No deeper meanings hidden within ambiguous words No thoughts beyond the surface No wondering whether life has a purpose Immersed in a world of superficiality Speaking cheap words Spewing artificiality Charcoal caricatures, focused on the trivial Percepti

Living in the Past

IN and out…In and out. She commands her little lungs to breathe as she lay in a heaping pile in a dark, abandoned alley in the depths of Detroit, Michigan. The air is dense with the stench of old urine and whiskey. Crushed beer cans and yellowed newspapers cover the streets, carried through the air by the harsh December winds. She lay with her back against the concrete. Her jeans are gathered around her ankles and the backs of her thin, naked legs scour the cold, abrasive pavement. Her hair is matted with sweat and tears and is clinging to her face like a spider’s web. Although she can’t lift her arms to feel it, she knows there is blood dripping from the cut of her busted bottom lip. The broken bones in her ribs don’t allow her to even roll over when she begins to heave. Now, covered in vomit, she starts choking between sobs and screams.  “Help! Please help me!” she shrieks as loudly as her raw throat allows. “I need help!”  Suddenly, her green eyes grow wide with horror

Words

Performers, actors Players and backstabbers They are persuasive and seductive Fondling your mind They'll lure you and trap you With their subliminal suggestions And provocative rhymes Draped in captivating red And decorated with diamonds They hide daggers inside their sleeves Dripping with superficiality and authenticity Deceit and decency Loathing and love Raging with burning passion Flooded with desire Inciting flaming intimacy And blazing voracity Like kindling to a fire They undress pride with a syllable Strip away secrets with a vowel Baring souls And leaving hearts exposed Whispered with all the subtlety  Of a flirtatious smile Or screamed with all the intensity  Of a fierce eruption Masters of illusion Artists Painting worlds that cannot be touched With a humble parting of the lips Releasing sprays of bullets that gush Like wintry showers Leaving the world cold and slippery
