Created for The Hypothetical Awards' 4th Annual, Musically-Themed challenge..."Album Cover Design!"
The stunning and critically acclaimed debut album by Amoricide, Overdosed and D.O.A. left many wondering if Jeff Scott Baines and the boys could live up to the hype with the release of their sophomore effort. The first single released, Raining On My Parade broke only the smallest of sales records, stalling at #19 on Billboard's Top100. In an odd turn of fate, a relatively unknown Canadian musician, Jazlyn Shaw recorded a version of Shouldn't You Marry Him...Dumb Ass! which went totally viral on You Tube, bringing attention to her, as well as Amoricide. Months later, with record sales skyrocketing, Amoricide launched a world-wide, ten month tour...with Jazlyn as their opener...does it get any better than that?
This is what Amoricide would sound like: 'Paris in Flames' - Thursday

*as the title suggests, this is a musically inspired painting from a old revolutionary ballad of the late 60's titled "Clandestino" which I recently encountered on YouTube, beautifully rearranged and brought up to date by Manu, for those wishing to hear this so modern version go to You-tube: "Manu Chao-Clandestino /live/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNzafK1HIro
Fuel~Bad Day
Had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
She left a note and said "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again.
She spilled her coffee, broke her shoelace.
Smeared the lipstick on her face.
Slammed the door and said "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again."
And she swears there's nothing wrong
I hear her playing that same old song
She puts me off and puts me on
And had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
She left a note that said, "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again."
Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017
Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.
In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.
The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.
They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.
In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.

Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in the sun
Behind my eyes there lives a me that I've been hiding for much too long
Cause I've been too afraid to let it show
Cause I'm scared of the judgment that may follow
Always putting off my living for tomorrow
It's time to step out on faith, I've gotta show my face
It's been elusive for so long, but freedom is mine today
I've gotta step out on faith, It's time to show my face
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me

Had a really good day. My mom and I had lunch with my best friend, and then we stopped by my grandparents' house to visit. And I spent some time drooling over my grandpa's old camera (seen in this shot) and my great-great-grandpa's even older camera (seen on my instagram stream). I wish these babies lived at my house.
Just waiting for the call from the groomer now so that I can go pick up my fresh and clean pupper. He got his hair cut today and I get mine cut tomorrow. SO excited! :)

Seeing things from a
Clearer side than most can dream
On a better road I feel
So you could say she's safe
Whatever tears at her
Whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done
She'll make the best of what's around
- Dave Matthews Band, The Best of What's Around
Having a really good day today. And I'm determined never to take those for granted again. Sometimes you have to kick off your shoes and feel the ground beneath your feet.
And dance.

Musically, they had kind of an Ike and Tina going. Some of my favorite music has that male-female harmonizing or call-and-response thing going. A set of pipes on both of them, for sure

Well it's been windy today but somehow the giant storm cell split in half and missed my town (thankfully). Wedding hair is a success! I love it. So much. We tried it out with my hair clip and veil and now I'm ridiculously excited to get all dressed up on Saturday. :)
I wish somebody would do this to my hair everyday.

Now I sit on the rooftop's edge
The muddy street beneath my swollen head
Trying to forget you
To believe we've never met
And the sky is wrecked, full of rotting clouds
From chimney mouths spewing smoke around
And I can't stop coughing
My lungs just won't calm down
But still I keep grinning
As the blood from my face stains the ground
- Radical Face, Glory
Slightly different take on this than the folks who were shooting her straight on. I've got a thing for walls from this angle. I love how small Bethy looks up there on the edge. If I'd done this, I would have leaned back and plummeted to my death. Which is why you won't see any pictures of me sitting on ledges.

Edward Charles Sackville-West, 5th Baron Sackville (13 November 1901 – 4 July 1965) was a British music critic, novelist and, in his last years, a member of the House of Lords. Musically gifted as a boy, he was attracted as a young man to a literary life and wrote a series of semi-autobiographical novels in the 1920s and 1930s. They made little impact, and his more lasting books are a biography of the poet Thomas de Quincey and The Record Guide, Britain's first comprehensive guide to classical music on record, first published in 1951.
As a critic and a member of the board of the Royal Opera House, he strove to promote the works of young British composers, including Benjamin Britten and Michael Tippett. Britten worked with him on a musical drama for radio and dedicated to him one of his best known works, the Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings.

Drum Roll Please!
Or should I say, Keyboard Plucked Please!
What started out serendipitously in a junk yard during an impromptu photo shoot with my iPhone, ended up with an amazing *stranger interview* inside a simply phenomenal harpsichord factory with treasures that take one's breath away . . . and ALL within a few miles of our house! Forty years we've lived here and have never been inside nor aware of this amazing business!
Please click on the following
for a beautiful, cultural experience! (Be sure to save some time for the little demos!)
Here's Steve, showing us an exquisite scene hand-painted by resident Artist, Tatyana Nivina from Russia . . . who embellishes all the stunning harpsichords on the premises!
I'll be switching back and forth from Steven's stranger interview (see below), to this shot, so people can enjoy the experience!
"Serendipity doesn't happen by accident.
It comes when you put yourself into situations
where you know there will be photographs
and are open to whatever unfolds."

If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll shut up
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears
I'm so sick,
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss,
Selfishness
I'm so sick

I'm using an older shot to play in this week's Musically Challenged. When I shot this, I actually had Flyleaf's album playing again on my iPod b/c I just love her and the band's sound a bunch, and had wanted to find a way to cover this song, and when I saw it was on this week's list, I played along. That was a long sentence. Haha.

Am I obsessed with necks right now because I'm addicted to True Blood? I think so. I bought season one of the series last Friday and had watched all twelve episodes by midday Saturday. Then I was crushed when I found out season two hadn't been released yet. Then they posted season two to OnDemand and I started watching in hopes of catching up so I could watch season three in real time. Except OnDemand only has the first half of season two posted. Ugh. So I'm halfway through season two and stuck waiting again. I'm not very patient.
Also, I want to thank everybody who reached out yesterday, many without even knowing the recipient, and gave with open hearts. You may never fully know how much of an impact you had, but trust me when I say you will be rewarded one day for your giving spirit. Thank you.

"Gimme Symphonies" by Dan Black

i couldn't resist. that lyric just fits so well! in a very odd, puts a questionable visual in your head sort of way, but still...! (it's for Musically Challenged)
i'm feeling playful and happy. all sorts of happiness. today is a good day.
your turn now.
why is your day good today? find a reason or three and then tell me below, por favor.
Happy Low Key Lame Ass Thursday :-)
Wasn't sure if this was gonna work out but I managed to turn day into night and got the low key look I was going for. 1/200, f/10, flash camera right 1/2 power in the water about 4 feet away.
Short day for me today, I am getting off work early and we are heading out to spend the weekend with my family.

Animals, the second album by my musically-inclined alter ego Prichard Nixon, is slated for release next Tuesday, February 1st.
Just in time for my birthday.
Electronic press kits have been successfully disseminated to all radio stations, newspaper, magazine and media outlets in the Greater Coachella Valley.
The last few months were filled with soul-scraping depression and existential decay . . . but here I am. It feels good to look to the heavens and say, "Kiss my ass, Universe. You can't keep me down."
There will be more to come. I know I have some catching up to do. I appreciate your patience in hanging in there with me.
In the meantime, I have uploaded several remastered tracks from the forthcoming Animals album to the official Prichard Nixon website. Give 'em a spin at prichardnixon.bandcamp.com/.
That's all I have for now. Thank you again, everyone. Much love and until next time, take care of one another.
Sincerely,
- O . . . Phuck!™

This is my grandmother's bassment (I know it is spelled basement, but I like to say bass...) And this is actually the bassment of the house I live in :) My parents let me move in over here a little over a year ago when they finally began to trust me again after I had my poop in a group for about 3 years. Anyway when I moved in someone had forgotten to clean out the fridge...for 2 years!! Yeah, I know. It was quite the process...It is a great house, and it is full of awesome beads, jewelry, books, and other cool ass random shit. I thoroughly enjoy it :) and am always lucky and grateful to be living here :)
I'm glad this was a song for Musically Challenged this week, because it got to me to re-read some awesome lyrics of some sweet songs! So thanks for that forty-one!
I'm going to be a photog at an event tomorrow night, so I will upload late, I promise! But it will be a busy night with lotsa photo takin' so don't expect anything fantastic! Oh, unless I get some time during the day...hmmm...
<3 Happy weekend!
(and as slow as I have been in this 365, 100 more chances to create doesn't sound like many... :(

Hey! Look at me! Not only did I take some selfies today, but I spent all last night making this bedazzled mask! AND I'm playing in Musically Challenged for the first time in forever! Applause, please.
Really, today has been a practice in avoiding the one thing I'm supposed to be doing, which is working on my evidentiary brief. But this was so much more fun.
I think I might pass along a few unprocessed shots from this shoot for folks in my new group to process for me! It'll be fun seeing how my face art shots turn out in the hands of others. What? You don't know about the coolest new group on flickr? Get on over to Me Through Your Eyes and join in on the fun! :)

I'm abandoning my music idea for right now. I may have a few more musically inspired songs here and there if I'm out of ideas or feel truly inspired by a song. But I was really hating the pictures I was creating during the music...and I'll be honest, I'm not a big big fan of this one either.
Lately I've been super bipolar in my mood. Sometimes I'll wake up and feel optimistic and happy while others I wake up depressed...and I just can't seem to shake it off. It's so easy of me to think of all my flaws, all my misfortunes, and all the things I don't have when I should be focusing on the good things in my life that I do have.
I just get so angry at myself and the world. Lately I've been feeling like there's a person inside of me ready to jump out at any second...but I keep holding that person back. I don't know why...sometimes I feel like I'm not even sure HOW to let the person out. I feel held back by the limited resources I have...and then I get angry at myself for being so shallow. Who I am isn't the clothes I wear or the color of my hair or the quality of my pictures...it's whoever is there on the inside. Yet at the same time this person on the inside wants to somehow express itself...and the only way I can do that right now is through photography and clothes and hair...it's so frustrating!
I came to the conclusion I need to write in my diary more. I haven't done it for quite some time and when I kept it up every day I felt so in tune with myself...so me. I didn't feel so lost and alone...
All while recording my life...I'd like to think that some day after I die I will have done something that makes someone interested in my life. The thought of my great grandchild finding my diaries and pictures and actually being interested in what I had to say and who I was is incredible to me...to live past the day I die. But while I so desperately want to be remembered after I die like Mozart or Edgar Allen Poe I have to be honest with myself. I'm nothing special...I'm no virtuoso in anything. Yeah I can crank out mediocre pictures and hold a tune but that's it...there's a huge chance I'm going to die and that will be the end of me...nobody will care.
Wow that sounded a lot more suicidal than I meant it to be lol I swear I'm not suicidal, just meant that when I die, whenever it may be (most likely in my 90s since my genetic make up is to last that long) I fear nobody will care after awhile (like when my immediate family dies off too).
I'm just ranting now...but these are the things that are inside me...and make me just want to cry.
I'm sorry if I come off cold and selfish, I really don't mean to. I just am working on some inner struggles right now...know I really do love and appreciate you all. I'll try to get around to commenting on your pics more...I'm just so exhausted all the time. I'll do better though
TRF: Went to ethics today...talked a LOT about sex and infidelity...that class always puts me in a bad bad mood. It's such a pessimistic way of viewing people and life...it's like, as if being in a LDR wasn't tough enough I'm sitting in a class where the teacher is going on about how 75% of men will have sex with a random woman if she walks up to him and requests it. I'm having difficulty coming to terms with the fact that I am a sexual being and we all are...that sex is natural and I shouldn't be ashamed of the fact that I want/have had/will have sex. ...I'm ranting again! gah

Look at me! I finally did a Musically Challenged weekly challenge! It's sad that I'm an admin and I didn't even do a challenge last week. Well, I guess I did a few direct challenges, just not the weekly. Whatever. Tara can spank me. :)
This is also my shot for the Week 7 Emulation Challenge in My Face is My Canvas. Fun, colorful inspiration shot this week. :)
I want to thank everybody for the wonderful messages of support yesterday for Auggie. I stayed home from work today to keep an eye on him and make sure he was getting his drops when he was supposed to get them. He seems to be doing better. He's keeping both eyes open, even the one with the ulcer. It's still gooky and he closes it a lot because it hurts, but it's better than it was last night. But really, it was comforting to see everybody's posts and know you guys were sending love and support. Thank you. :)

I am holding half an acre
torn from the map of Michigan
and folded in this scrap of paper
is a land I grew in
Think of every town you've lived in
every room you lay your head
and what is it that you remember?
Do you carry every sadness with you
every hour your heart was broken
every night the fear and darkness
lay down with you

Bethy was pretty much custom made for modeling in urban decay. And I mean that in the best way possible. She just fit so perfectly into every scene we threw her into on Saturday. I think this pose was Vic's brainchild.

where am I now?
upside down
and I can't stop it now
it can't stop me now
ooooooh
I... I'll get by
I... I'll survive
when the world's crashin' down
when I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
don't you try to stop me
I... I won't cry

The middle finger on my right hand is literally kinked out of place. When I hold my hand at rest and the other fingers naturally bend slightly towards my palm, my middle finger is sort of hyper-extended backwards. It's sick. And it's all from editing nonstop all day. I'm a glutton for punishment. And I'm absolutely fascinated by this finger thing. It doesn't feel good, let me tell you.
Three more days...tick tock, tick tock!
