So busy for the last few months.

Well today I confirmed that my mind is offically corrupted. There is a McDonalds commercial on the radio with an angelic choir of children singing:

"IF YOU'RE ______ AND YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS! IF YOU'RE ______ AND YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS! IF YOU'RE ______ AND YOU KNOW IT CLAP YOUR HANDS! IF YOU'RE REALLY ______ AND YOU KNOW IT AND YOU REALLY WANNA SHOW IT, CLAP YOUR HANDS."

Five letter word!! Starts with an F, the letters in the middle are UCKE and it ends in a D. Haha I am an 11 year old boy but I don't care it was fun to sing along to. I still can't get over the fact that McDonalds is airing it. Basic knowledge of the maturity level in human beings: it is niavely absent. That or everyone else is sick. Or both. Yeah it's probably both.

I LOVE YOU GUYS OK. EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN`T BEEN ON HERE MUCH I STILL LOVE YOU ALL ;3;

Ohyeah I was mad inspired by the upcoming Winter Olympic games:

(Psychohockey!canada needs to become canon. Duuur :T)

To everyone else who is not Canadian on my flist: Sry. We'll get back to our regular programming... after we've utterly destroyed you all on the rink. BE THERE OR BE SQUARE OK. WE'RE GONNA LIKE. BEAT YOU FAIRLY OK. THIS IS OUR NATIONAL PRIDE ON THE LINE. AND IF WE WIN. WE'RE ALL GONNA GLOAT... POLITELY. AND STUFF OUR VICTORIOUS FACES WITH TIMBITS OR SOMETHING. THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME AWESOME BEER. AND IN THE MORNING WE'LL MAN UP AND IGNORE OUR HANGOVERS AND SHOVEL OUR DRIVEWAYS AND SPRINKLE SALT ON THE SIDEWALK SO NO ONE SLIPS AND HURTS THEMSELVES.

AND THEN? WE'RE GONNA PARTY HARD.

HELL YEAH DAMNIT.

hiatus. I'm out for another month I guess.

(My ugly things make me ugly. I'll sleep beneith dead leaves and rot into the ground. Soak soil with nitruients born from decay. I'll breathe out spores as the tips of my fingers and toes crumble. I'll deflate into nothing and leave a shell behind. The only legacy I leave will be ruins. Material now but not for any longer.

Skin flakes to dust bunnies.
It will be a magnificent feast for the mites, the vultures and the invisible demons I leave behind.

Maybe I'll be born again.
But I doubt it.)

Went to the Body Worlds exhibit at the Science Center earlier this week. Went in at 11:00. Finished at 5:00. Did about a dozen sketches with graphite. I'm only happy with 5 of them. Argh. Could have done better. I really could have done better.

who sang along to the radiohead song at the beginning of House's new episode?

/SHOOTS HAND UP

Met up with an old friend a few days ago and... well. Her art style has changed 180 degrees since the last time I saw her. Last time it was budding, but it was original and I was excited to see what it had evolved into but haha it turns out she ditched it.

She ditched her style to practically copy a very popular fanartist from DA. I'm not gonna name them cause their identity is irrelevant but there's a high possibility you've seen their works already if you're on DA and you stick to the anime/manga crowd.

I'm just. Really fustrated right now. Yeah I'm not her. She's not me. But what the fuck. She had something really going for her there and she just kicked it to the curb and curbstomped its face in. I told her I liked her old style and she was all "OOOH you're just saying that o/~"

And lol. No I'm not. I don't bullshit to friends.

Reasons Why I Hate It When People Carbon Copy Styles

1) YOUR INDIVIDUALITY JUST CURLED UP AND DIED: I see so much potential in people. SO. FUCKING MUCH. IT HURTS. Style and technical skill ARE NOT THE SAME THING. STYLE IS YOUR SOUL. YOU MUST FORGE YOUR OWN PATH. When you copy a style you are interpreting a set of qualities and transfering it into your own vision. This is awesome for learning techniques from old and new masters and evolving your own style. But when you copy something just cause you like it and just LEAVE IT LIKE THAT without adding in any of your personal touches, then to me that's just soulless. It just mindless jacking off and frankly I find it a waste. People could be doing so much more damnitdamnitdamnit )o)

2) IT DOES NOT HAVE DEPTH AND IT SHOWS: The art people see on galleries are just a mere FRACTION of the stuff the artist has done to get to the point where they are now. I've seen copiers and their stuff has something that's a little off. Like they fulfill the visibile guidelines and hints that are provided by the artist they copied off of but there's something fundamental missing.

3) ORIGINAL STYLES ARE MORE DYNAMIC: An original artist has never drawn a seriously old dude like say: Walter Bishop before in their style and neither has a copier. Which one has the easier time drawing Walter? The original person of course. Their style isn't an artificial filter to them. There's no guessing games here.

4) NOTHING REPLACES THE FEELING OF AN ORIGINAL STYLE: It's just that feeling in the core of your soul and in the tips of your fingers that is so incredibly satisfying. You don't need to think. YOU JUST NEED TO BE. My style's a mishmash of everything I like and when I draw stuff it perfectly projects the essence of what I want. It's ridiculously satisfying. Nothing speaks to me more than my own style. I can't imagine giving it up for something else. IT'D BE LIKE LOSING MY SOUL OR WEARING SOMEONE ELSE'S SKIN. :c

I don't know if I come off as pretencious but lmao I honestly don't give a shit if I do. THIS IS HONESTLY HOW I FEEL. I JUST WANNA BITCHSLAP EVERYONE WHO'S A COPIER.

EVOLVE FROM IT. YOUR POTENTIAL IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. :C

in other news: I'm gonna be scarce for the next couple days. Renovations are sapping my energy out like something parasidic.

I'm.

going to lie down and hybernate now. ;n;

edit: was discussing the Disney buying Marvel thing with a couple of friends and I came to the realization that IF YOU THINK OF IT AS PIXAR BUYING MARVEL THEN: omfguhfjelwafjewkfwa *A*!!!!!!!!!

Pixar is under Disney in name only BUT COME ON. WHO IS THE REAL BREADWINNER HERE WHO RAKES IN THE PROFIT WITH HOMERUN HITS HUH? Duuuuuuuude cg movies of Xmen or Ironman or Spidermen DONE RIGHT BY PIXAR DIRECTORS AND NOT FUCKED UP LIKE THEIR MOST RECENT LIVEACTION COUNTERPARTS?

NEW WE ARE WOLVES ALBUM OUT IN OCTOBER. Holyshit I can't wait. I LOVE THIS BAND'S SOUND. It's like a synthesizer apocalpyse with a dash of rock and their drums have most hypnotic make-you-sway-like-a-zombie-possessed eveeeeer. Om nom nom I will devour and relish all soundwaves produced by this band.

AHAHA if it's not your thing I understand completely. Hi. My name is Burning. My taste in trippy music (eg. radiohead, mock orange, ima robot and etc.) is severely annoying to the majority of the public. I have been told so countless times and bowed my head in shame but smiled down at the floor because I love my playlist anyway. I also believe indie describes a label, not a genre. People should just use 'alternative' because what the fuck what the fuck: same difference with the exception of CRED slapped onto one of them like a big blingy new toy children bring to school to show off and culminate envy like cholesterol and unsaturated fat.

Blarghitty blargh blargh blargh. Don't be obese with empty pride, kids.

You be fine liking what you like. YEAH )o)

I haven't written in how long what now? ~~oh fuuuuck it's been a while orz~~

HEY LOOKIT A FRINGE DRABBLE DABBLE:

- - - - -

Flickering on the splintered edge of your consciousness-
Darting from the corner of your peripherals into your blind spot-

You whip your head around and you see him. You hear him. With your ears wide shut and your eyes numb and deaf to the rest of the world.

Olivia

It’s always a raspy echo of a whisper (it makes you think of dead leaves scraping the sidewalk pavement, tiny whirlpools at suburbia’s feet.) And so he bids you a private goodnight with your name. A bitter gift, because you don’t sleep a wink even when you dare to give in to slumber. (Did you detect a tint of urgency in his voice last night? Or maybe you’re just hearing things within the things you’re just hearing. It’s a vicious cycle Escher would be proud of.) It’s been like this for a while now. Your phone rings and waits. Rings and waits. Rings and waits. It’s a steady pulse. It’s a patient haunting (footsteps of a stalking tiger, unrelenting but always at a distance.) It makes you wonder if he’s taking advantage of his eternity.

He’s as elusive as smoke, half of it is your fault because you don’t dare to touch him (lest he slips through the cracks again.) You tolerate this because you know you can. You’re not convinced you’re clinically insane just yet. There’s too much coincidence too much connection. Spider threads are all trailing back to one man.

(Does he say your name the same way each time he calls you? Residual supernatural traces set on repeat, a concentrated manifestation of the deceased onto a fixed target.)

Tonight you picked up after the third ring. Youblurtout-

John.

A pause. A beat. (A breath.)

The line goes dead.

is this post-a-ble?

my dad is the most paranoid, naggy old fart on the face of the earth but at least my mom balances him out. We're grocery shopping and

me: aaah baked poe-tae-toes! We haven't had some in so long )o) <3
him: how are you going to bake them?
mom: /EYEROLL/ we use the microwave.
him: have you tested it?? What if it explodes.

mom: yes and it'll kill us all and our bodies will appear on the evening news: "in a tragic turn of events a family of three instantly DIED when a potato exploded in the microwave, leveling the whole neighbourhood block. A mushroom cloud could be seen for kilometers and didn't dissapear for hours. Also the Dark Mark appeared over the burning remains of the house."

Exhibit C: crazy tween girl fans. Exhibit D: unnerving resemblence to a certian S grade douchebag from Death Note.

Never watched High School Musical or anything with him in it. But then I watched 17 Again.

I've got nothing really meaningful to say these days but somehow it makes me feel at peace.

oh ps: man I like bees. They are awesome. I think the way they buzz is inquisitive like: bzzz bzzzzz?

bzzzzzzz! c:

They're not terrifying okay. They sting you, you get a bit of a nick. However they get their bum and innards ripped out and they DIE. If anything they should be more upset about this stinging business. :c I must say though, I'm kind of upset that I haven't seen many around this summer.

Curse you colony collapse disorder!!
