All the things I knew...

Well that was funny. Earlier tonight I was a little worried about finding a time to blog. But then this thought popped into my head: Once I put the kids to sleep. 

KIDS! When did that happen. By kids I do mean my little cousins. Those who I am babysitting tonight and this weekend. But isn't that just a funny thought. One that many parent bloggers probably find themselves thinking. Which makes me think about parent bloggers. Here's to you. Keep doing what you do. 

Well it's practically another week down. Which means two to go. For me at least. Slowpokes around the world curse me! But don't you dare forget about your 5 week winter break. 

Well lets see. The past few days I had a few assignments due and I went to an art museum. Our teacher decided that we should take a field trip. But that we should go on our own time. I miss the old high school field trips. I was lucky with Diablo Heat seeing as I was field tripping it well into my senior year. But back to this museum. LACMA! I have to say, it was well worth the drive and cost of parking. The next time people/ MVamigos come visit me and they say..What should we do? I will suggest LACMA. Another valuable thing I got out of the trip was the realization that I could still be a painter if I wanted to. To this day I've done about six paintings. Two of a light house, two of flowers, one weird mashup of color and hearts and handprints, and then one sailboat. They were really good when I was in 5th grade. When I tried again I realized my talent stayed in the 5th grade. But LACMA gave me hope. Contemporary art is for lovers! You can literally produce anything and it can be art. I like that. I could see how people wouldn't like that, but I like it. The fact that it's so subjective. So changeable. Also if I could interest a Contemporary-loving new money Dutch hippie who takes an interest in my "creative works" then I would be pleased as well. But I don't want to get ahead of myself. First I have to put paintbrush to canvas. Then we shall see. 

I've also been stuck in a mindful daze this past week. Aiding that daze or possible influencing it heavily would be the music I've been listening to. 

Dear Cat Stevens/Yusaf Islam. Your songs make me realize that if I ever needed a soundtrack to a dramatic and tearful revelation in my life I would need to look no further than those very songs. 

P.S. How's the name change working out?

I will supplement that little letter/quip with two music videos posted at the end(or After the Jump, as they would say on other blogs...except that it doesn't work that way here) 

Also Alexi Murdoch has been doing wonders for the mental mindfulness as well. Look him up too. *Hint* his song is featured in one of the movie trailers I posted a few weeks back. 

I think this is how I get when I reach the conclusion of things. (Probably having to do with my movie influences, seeing as these songs are perfect for that third act!) 

Contemplative states and all. Can you believe that We are already 1 year deep into college. 

I mean really. Think about that. What about 6th grade. Wasn't that like yesterday? No. No you say. Well it still feels that way. 

The process continues. 

Well I think that's all I can crank out for the night. 

Maybe I'll throw up a funny picture. 

Videos:

not exactly a funny picture but it was one that I had never noticed before because it was so dark. So I iPhoto-ed it up a bit. Gave it a nice golden touch. 

You can say what you want.
