Raining in Baltimore by Counting Crows

Hey you guys I just wanted to share a song I just fell in love with not too long ago. So enjoy.

Until sometime next week, namaste and stay strong.

Clouds.

I have a weird fascination with clouds. I love drawing and painting clouds. Glorious clusters of clouds. The last time I was in the air, I took quite a few pictures of the clouds. It is a beautiful sight up in the clouds.

I remember as a kid looking up at the sky and just being amazed at the clouds. I never was one for; oh the cloud looks like a dog, or oh that cloud looks like the statue of liberty. No I admired them for what they were; CLOUDS.

Watching the clouds move in a sense remind me of life. They roam aimlessly with the wind. I wish to be like the clouds and just go with the wind. I would love to just go where the day takes me. In a way I think I am beginning to.

Pickles or something like that...

I somehow always manage to get caught up in the whole "what should I be doing" or "am I doing enough" debate in my head. I think of ways I can overcome this and try to act upon them but it always lead me back to the same debate. Alot of my stuff end up being not works of art but constant works in progress. I mean I jump gung-ho into them but then I jump gung-ho into the next thing. The more I think about it, that's not such a bad idea. It makes them more of, something like; an investigative journeys into my mind. Which sometimes can be quite complex. I wonder how many of my friends secretly think that I think I am a total genius...LOL. I am not that bad.

Sometimes I wonder what it would look like if I could leave my body and enter my mind. What would I see swirling about? What kind of tinkering would be going on? I know what you guys are thinking. What is he on about? What the hell are you rambling and ranting about man? Well my faithful few, you guys will just have to wait and see.

Side note: Isn't it funny that I say that every week, yet I always post on Saturdays...Or do I????

Like Father, Like Son....?

Hey faithful few, how are you this fine, fine Saturday night? I am suffering from a case of the sniffles(all my fault, darn fan at night,lol). This post I felt as though I would ask you guys your opinion.

I can not escape the fact that I am my father's son. He and I share the same name. My question I will ask at the end of this post; it's not really a question but something that I would like some collective feedback or just your honest opinions.

My dad has always been into gadgets and things. Mostly audio equipment and i grew up watching and in some instances messing with his stuff while he was working or not looking. He still has a thing for gadgets but he is into video and pictures. My dad is also a musician. Like Jimi, my dad can make a guitar weep.

Myself, I am enthralled with gadgets; computers, cell phones, video games, and whatever. I am also an Artist. I am very creative as you guys know. I went to school for this. Whereas my dad just like his nostalgic methods and ways(I recently just got him into computers and every time I turn around I am helping him correct something that he hasn't grasped a hold of yet, LOL); I on the other hand am always looking for the next big thing. I am always trying to push the gadgets to it's limits. I have never met a gadget that I didn't feel as though it could do more. As far as art, I always tell the story of how I started drawing around the same time as I started to learn to write.

My question is how many of you guys believe that my gifts were inherent and how many believe that manifested themselves based on the fact that I was around my it growing up. Just a little something for you guys to ponder. That's all for now

What you talkin' 'bout Willis???

Hey faithful few! Its blog time. The next couple of months for me guys will be very hectic. With me trying to get in on college deadlines and preparing to make college deadlines, I have a lot on my plate. I am still trying to work through this little artist block I have been going through.

I have been looking at a lot of art and sketching; even doing a little brainstorming. I think its all about trying to overcome sadness/adversity and trying to take the energy from that and conveying it into your artistic "brain (practice)." I am pulling through it. I feel it. I know in the coming weeks I will produce. I have faith and I believe in me and my craft. That's all I have for you guys this week.

Until sometime next week, namaste and stay strong...
