Ahhh, lack of internet and little to no time left in life isn't fun at all, no is it? But here I am, still alive and kicking, I assure you, assuredly. There are always concepts and ideas I have, wonderful ones that creap into my head throughout the day and I sit and think, MAN, that would be a good journal entry, but then when it's time to actual WRITE one, they all go bye-bye.

One though, I can think of, that I've been talking to about as of late is the concept of originality. She contended that originality is still alive and kicking and I contented that it's all a matter of relativity, that the more knowledge you have of any given thing, you come to realize more and more things come from something else, something in the past. Many songs, music, the concepts and ideas could be found in many different forms of music or literature years past and I'm certain if you look back even more, you'll find out where those things came from. I did, though, conclude and realize that it's more of a matter of knowing that things aren't different or new and to take the artist's thoughts and try and see where s/he is coming from. What are your thoughts?

I've been on dA since 06 (this is the new one after I left... for like a MONTH! ha!) and never, ever been tagged, but, booya! I just got tagged. So, here we go, yo!

the rules are as follow:

post these rules in your journal.
each tagged person must post 8 facts about them selves in their journal.
at the end, you must tag 8 people and post their icons in your same journal.
go to their page and send them a message that they have been tagged.
no tag-backs.(though it would be really funny!!! then would be like 64 things about the same person!!!! heheh)

1) I love video games a lot, and got into writing really cause of them (read tons of fanfiction as a lad)
2) I sleep on the floor, cause it's more comfortable than a bed. I know. My back is that messed up!
3) I'm a romantic through and through.
4) I so want to visit and live and backpack through Europe.
5) I don't care if I'm never rich as long as I get to never lose the art of writing.
6) I'm too much of an optimist 98% of the time. The other 2% I'm often times depressed so much about everything I liked about myself, which is why I try to be an optomist.
7) I love animals and went to a school that had a farm with cows and chickens and horses and goats and sheep and everything. And it was in the city! How cool is that???
8) I constantly get discouraged over my poetry when I look at what's on the market, so old and done and bland, but the people buy it up! I don't get it!


And now, I tagggggg:

Never since have I been so entralled by some new poetic talent I've discovered.

~estallidos, who really needs a avatar, is simply amazing, and seems to have found a pretty huge following quite fast. It's all so regretful poetry, but it's amazingly done, each piece.

I like:





Also . I like Sarah. And she likes giraffes. And that makes me like Sarah more.

I like:





And because she rocks. Still.
