Same day, same place as 'Solomon' but a different time on this blustery, wet and chilly late spring day.
There are times when I do get sprung making my candids and usually when that happens the moment is spoiled. However this time the subject's expression helped greatly in carrying the mood I wanted.

I can still recall old Mr. Barnslow, getting out every morning and nailing a fresh load of tadpoles to that old board of his. Then he'd spin it round and round, like a wheel of fortune, and no matter where it stopped, he'd yell, "Tadpoles! Tadpoles is a winner!" We all thought he was crazy, but then, we had some growing up to do.
This day was a day of pondering upon deep thoughts, such as how long can I possibly have left in my life? I am 43 years old now. Maybe 10, 20 or 30 years if I am lucky. Time flies by very quickly after you have turned 20 years old; at least it has for me. I just want to know that I will have the time to do the type of work that I really want to do, which is helping victims of domestic violence.
I have always been a compassionate person and have wanted to help those around me in any way that I could. I feel that in a way this has been my calling in life. But only time will tell, if my dreams of helping victims of domestic violence will become a reality.
On the 16th of this month, a 10 year old little boy, who lives in our area, attempted to take his own life..unthinkable in my mind..a boy who had his whole life ahead of him. :( He was brought to the hospital and was on life support for a bit, but he didn't make it. I didn't know this boy, although I had seen him walking around once in awhile, with his Dad.
Ever since I heard this, it has been on my mind. I'm not sure of his reasons, maybe he was getting bullied at school..I don't know. What is this world coming to, when children are taking their own lives? Or the lives of others, even..from what I have been reading in the news. Why is it, that this is happening? Do these children know that they can talk to someone before taking such drastic measures, that they can get help? I am just very saddened by many things going on in this world today, this being one of them.
'Spiritual knowledge is maybe more essential and crucial than anything else in life.' - Younus AlGohar
In this crazy little world of ours, we sometimes need to stop, drop everything, and ask ourselves... what is really important in our lives.
Woman pulling knees in and looking away. Pose, combined with dark background and tight framing suggest feelings of stress or being limited and without options.
Day 130 - Van Gogh once said, "In an artist's life, death is perhaps not the most difficult thing." I often times find myself long suffering with my pain. As artists, we tend to suffer through our lives, either fighting to heard or fighting to fit in. I suffer and I am neither... I am long suffering in ways of the heart. I dont care if others get my work nor appreciate it. I do it for me, it eases me.... and in the end maybe even I will feel accomplished and ready to go.
Beanbandit's Chihuaha, named Z. He was in deep thought at the park... potentially thinking about his plan to become the Earth's Overlord.
"I'm just living
Doing what I love every day
And the world...
Is watching and critiquing my every move
Why does it have to be this way?
Maybe the passion instilled
Into my heart when I was born
To inspire others that impossible is impossible
When you put your heart into what you love
Adds flame to positivity in my life
And ignites a massive flame of destruction towards negativity
Artists of any genre
Deal with the most criticism in this world
As for me...
I multiply those same feelings by 3
Do you know the phrase
"Don't ever let them see you sweat?"
Well I do
And I do my best not to let anyone see my pain
Yet that makes people think
That I am some super-natural human being
Something I do not consider myself
I'm a normal human being
With emotions and feelings
Just like everyone else posses
Sometimes I can brush off negative criticism
Yet there are sometimes where I just can't
As I don't wear my heart on my sleeve
I hold and protect it in my body
So any emotion that my heart feels
I feel
I am a chef
Cooking food and creating art
For people to eat visually, mentally and physically
I am a photographer
Capturing moments in life
That I believe capture the essence of specific emotions and beauty of this thing we call life
I am a journalist/writer
Expressing my view point of everything through written language
Everything I do is subject to criticism
The good, the bad and even the ugly
And constructive criticism is fine
Because I believe that makes an artist better
However
I do not support outright down pours of hatred
Just because my view point of creativity
May not be the same as the person
Who absolutes despises my art
Art is my life
I couldn't imagine myself doing anything in my life
Every single day
I thought the level of criticism I endure on a daily basis
Only happened to famous people
And to me personally
I don't believe I am anywhere near the meaning of a celebrity
I wake up every morning and do what I love
That is considered normal right?
I guess it's time for me to accept the inevitable fact
... That every move I make
Every piece of food I cook
Every photo I take
And every word that I write or say
Will be forever criticized."

i forget when, exactly, but i remember a few years ago thinking about how people would call themselves a 'practicing catholic,' practicing lutheran,' or what have you. and i connected it to, say, taking guitar lessons--you're always practicing, trying to get better at it.
so i think it's the same way with religion--you're always, in a way practicing to be better at, get closer to god, so on and so forth.
the downside, i suppose, is that some might practice their religion and use it against people, instead of for them.

Area Man drinks beer and thinks deep thoughts, and then forgets them and never makes the millions he could of if he could only remember, but then again, it was the beer that gave him the great idea... oh, never mind.

4-365: I play my Father in Correspondence chess by sending moves as text messages on an irregular basis. Most of my moves require deep thought...the longer I think the worse the outcome!
