Speaking Through Art: Part IV - Sound of Music continued...

There is music...
an then there is music as  a r t.


I think there is a  -  difference  -  between the two. 


There are songs that you can listen to, sing along and relate to...

& then there are those that completely consume you that you can't help but become a part of it.

All That You Are

To have pity towards someone is to look down on them.
To have pity is to feel sorry for that person.

This video I want to share with you really shines a light on the direction i want to go in life.

I hope it does the same for you.



..and when you watch it, the only person I want you to have pity for is yourself.


Because if you got 2 arms and 2 legs and you don't act the way this beautiful man does right here,

then thats completely pitiful on your part!

Love 

yourself 

and 

all 

that 

you 

are.

Speaking Through Art: Part III - Sound of Music

I spent a desperately needed long weekend at my best friends cottage and finally got the chance to clear my head and think of a few things. A cottage is always a perfect and quiet place to do these kind of things, and i really got myself thinking about SOUND. 

I woke up on the Sunday morning at 7:30 am and the weirdest thing happened. 

Most of the time i have BAD cases of writers block but when i don't, my brain can spill out more stuff than niagara falls. When these moments do occur i HAVE to get everything out as soon as possible because i'm afraid my brain will close up again. So...

on my blackberry after 5 minutes of waking up, i wrote a 800 word write up about sound in complete silence. 

Ironic isn't it?

Speaking Through Art: Part I - Dance

Communication with words. The mouth. The lips. The tongue. The breath....

 Is never enough for me. 

I'm not good at it...writing either. Nowadays it is so difficult for me to cram my thoughts, emotions and experiences into words. It's all too simple. It's all so generic. I don't want to follow standards and rules anymore when it comes to communication. It's all so boring. 

How about all you people reading my blog right now? Would reading paragraphs and paragraphs of my thoughts be more appealing to you than actually seeing and experiencing examples of what I mean? That's my main goal for my blog. I want to draw you people in on what goes on in my head,

using more than words.

Using ART.

...

I was born a fetus....and still am one.

People seem to always be completely baffled when i tell them that i am 19.

It normally follows with a:

-jaw drop

-wide eyes

-accompanied with a "huh!?!?" expression

because they normally think that i'm 12 when they see me. like...ACTUALLY 12.


I get offended half the time by it but the other half of me doesn't really care. Because whether i like it or not - that's who i am.


I think a part of me will forever be juvenile. Not just in my looks but how i act too. I choose to act that way because i have fun doing it. I don't act immature, just....juvenile at times. I have gone through many scary "grown up" situations that one would think to make me some serious and depressed 19 year old adult. But whats the fun in that?! I've learned from those experiences. I have built the strong core i need and then proceed to having my fun most of the time.


No offence to all you adults out there.....but i'm in no rush to grow up. I'm sure many people close to me have heard me say:

"I NEVER WANT TO GROW UP. I WANT TO LIVE IN NEVER NEVER LAND WITH PETER PAN"

Well.......it's true folks! During my grade twelve year i had an extremely hard time accepting the fact that i was leaving high school and actually had to start turning into an adult. I still am having a hard time. 

Deciding which road i want to go down when i see none made with yellow bricks, isn't such an easy decision to make........until recently - when i got my new summer job:

Working with kids.

"They're starving back in China, so finish what you got..."-JLennon

So apparently i'm a terrible blogger.

Well.....sorta.

I've had a few people tell me that they actually really enjoy my blog and that i should update it more often. Thanks so much folks! I sincerely thought no one read this thing....So i'm going to try and update this a lot more.

There was this one girl (that will go unnamed) in my high school that i will never look at the same for a particular reason. I'm not the type of girl to hate people or hold grudges, but i think it's only natural for human beings to have different beliefs and different approaches in how they express them. In this case, this girl and i are 2 completely different people.
This girl is hilarious to be around (some of the time) but sometimes i take her humour offensively.

I will share a story with you all that i will never forget. 

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Everything depends on our frame of mind.

I believe that certain realms of our mind go unlocked, unless you embark on a trip down the rabbit hole.

Drugs aren't the only thing that change our perception on things. It just makes the process faster. Emotions are a natural drug, and if you overdose on anger - 

you will slowly kill your soul.

Overdose on love and happiness today.

Nonsense.

2nd Star to the Right & Straight on 'till Morning

I want to know what it's like to fall asleep outside during the night.


 Yea sure, i've fallen asleep in a tent while camping but it's not the same. You're still enclosed in something. I guess it's the natural human instinct to want to be enclosed in something while sleeping - for safety and all that.

But i think it would be such a beautiful thing to take that risk and open up your mind and body to the night.

I'd do it just for the wild dreams...

The night can completely eat you up - that's what i love about it.
    I think it's the only time your organs can experience peace and quiet, because the world at that moment looks the same whether your eyes are open or closed. 

Will you stay up late with me tonight? 

A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I GOT A GAL!

This song and video gives me the same happiness that i experience when i listen to disco music.


Watch the beautiful woman in the middle. She is LOVING EVERY MINUTE.


It truly would have been amazing to have lived in this era. 
Watch the entire thing - the dance break is unbearable.


If you don't know what original swagger is, go to 4:20...
