illustrated lyrics

So I'm starting something new.. just for fun. I'll try to get one up every week.
Here is a illustration that I did. Guess the song and the artist. Just for fun.

Tripping Out

"Hey you ! out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me"



Oh I feel you.

My life feels a bit more complete. Nothing is better than tripping out to your favorite music, by means of not altering your mind with drugs or any intoxicating substances. The Cosmic Light shows at the Clark Planetarium are truly mind blowing.I have seen Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon" twice. I've been waiting for the release of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" for what feels like forever. I had the lovely privilege of seeing it on Saturday. I went with my sister who is a huge fan of Floyd and my niece and nephew. We saw "The Dark Side Of The Moon" and "The Wall" after. We got a good deal, tickets where two shows for the price of one, since it was the opening weekend of "The Wall". So about two hours of Floyd with amazing sound and trippy and yet hypnotic visuals combined with lasers, leaves you in awe or in a trance like state. I loved it very much, I intend on going to see it again.

I highly recommend going to the show. You will feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow.

Sorry.. not really

So Im writing to apologize, about never posting on this. But I don't think anyone is reading it in the first place so I really don't feel that bad about it. Any way a new blog is posted enjoy.. Its crap.

Faux

the vastness of this darkness
devouring of souls
the torment
and agony of being alone
thoughts that flow..



like kisses from lovers lips
eyes closed so tight
that the truth may be concealed
lovers that i never truly loved
flowed through me,
like the ink in this pen
only leaving gaps
in the spaces
where you and i should be



but yet i find contentment
in my own torment
i smile
i laugh
no, this is no faux
reality is my actuality
this emptiness is mine
my heart has deceived
and been deceived
repetitively
i no longer trust it
nor my thoughts


i am now a drifter
like the breeze
slipping in and out
of reality
there are no drugs
to thank for this relapse
i've found a new addiction
and it doesn't leave a track
i get my fix from a love
a love that isn't real

Secrets

The other day I ventured to my favorite place to go when I am bored. Borders in the River Woods shopping center. And I stumbled upon a great find..

About two months ago a few of my friends and I decided we would give the future readers an extra secret . So if you look at the book, The Secret Lives Of Men And Women. You will find a few extra secrets. I guess we stared something because I discovered in the very same book a new secret as well.





So I being a big nerd, I had to take pictures of them..
Guess which secret is mine!

Filled With Colors

I went to Holi (The Festival of Colors)
It was amazing.. I was in awe of its beauty. Its funny, the pure joy you get by getting hit in the face with a handful of colored powder and dancing to music that you really don't know how to dance to.Sadly I had no clue what we were chanting,or what did the burning of the lady truly represented. The whole experience was awesome.. stepping out side of the typical "Utahan" norms (even though I felt engulfed by BYU students)and stepping into something so beautiful and cultural is so self rewarding. I am most defiantly going next year. But here are a few pictures from it.

The temple was Beautiful and filled with so many people

The colors blotted out the sky we were in a a huge pink cloud

We couldn't resist, Too funny yet very smart!

P.S. The colors still haven't faded out of my hair! So just a warning to bleach blonds who plan on attending next year, I suggest wearing a hat.

So who's coming with me next spring?
