I have just become a fan of Seal.He's a christian music artist (I assume,I can't see how the lyrics could point otherwise).Anyways,He has a song called "Love's Divine" and it is one of the most uplifting songs I've ever heard.Its makes me cry everythime I hear and sends chills through me.It's so powerful and so hopeful and wonderful.perfect if you're feeling depressed,it really lifts you up.Sorry for singin' this guys praises,he does get airplay on pop radio but I thought you might be interested to realise there types of music that touch me,music with lyrics.Anyways I strongly urge you to listen to "Love's Divine" and after you've listened to that listen to another gorgeous song,the grammy winning song called "kiss from a rose",which also inspires chills.

I just saw Prince perform "Kiss" on the ellen degeneres show.I wouldn't call myself the biggest fan of him.I do love his music a lot and his voice but I haven't been listening to him all that long,I'm a prince newbie.But that performance was phenomenal I don't think I've ever enjoyed a televised performance more.I came so close to clapping afterwards.I almost clapped at the tv!
amazing.I love his voice and his energy he definatly knows how to get a crowd going.......... wow

I think I have weak tear ducts.I cry at the scene in a movie where two characters that were fighting or distant throghout the movie,hug and make up.I cry at movies I don't even like.I cry at certain commercials and music videos.I cry at Edvard Munchs painting, "Evening on Karl John Street".(look at it and you'll see where I get tons of my inspiration from)

I cry when I look at sunsets.I cry when I look at the horizen in the middle of the night and it's somehow lighter than the rest of the sky even though the sun set hours ago.
I cry when I think of my childhood.I cry when I think of looking in the mirror 20 years from now.I cry when I don't think anybody understands me and I cry when I feel understood. I cry more often than most women.I know women find sensitive men attractive,but I think with me they'd have overkill.I think I'd make some women sick.Oh well,mabye I'll marry some sort of football loving girl,who would rather open up a can of whoop-ass on someone who hurts her than shed a tear over it.And we'd be happy together.

Why am I so insecure about the music I love?
Most people know I'm an IDM fan(as well as a few other elctronica styles such as,trip hop,house,ambient and chill-out).I hate to say that IDM stands for Intelligent Dance Music.Why do I hate to say that?Because as much as I believe the music I love truly is inttelligent,creative and more varied than almost any other music style,It sounds pretensious to call it anything other than "techno".And I think the first thing to come to most peoples mind when they think of "techno" is some guy in squeaky clothes with red sunglasses and a spiky hairdo sitting in a recording studio twiddling knobs.Wherease when I think of techno I think of a dirty red-haired guy living in a bank driving out in his tank to a pawn shop to get himself a violin so he can squeak out those 7 notes he heard in his sleep into a sampler (aphex twin) or two scottish guys meandering through a field of clover listening to the ocean down below and recording the sounds of the birds in the trees (boards of canada). You all should know that I'm extremly self-consious about my music and if I put on a CD when there are others around it's usually a CD I believe is more accesible than the rest of my collection.So when someone says it's redundant or boring,it only makes me feel worse,and makes me wish for someone to put on a crowd-pleaser (in our family anyways) like mettalica or pink floyd,so I can put on my headphones listening to track 11 disc 2 of aphex twins' SAWII (untitled just like all the tracks on the album) arguing with myself why 7 notes incessantly repeated,non-stop for 11 minutes is genius.I'm sorry I'm complaining to you all right now.Mom likes my music but it's different if you have peers you feel like you can relate to.and because I'm so closed up,I'm not willing to try and relate to others on anything other than music,movies or art.
speaking of art, the artist I mentioned in my last fotopage post is Francis Bacon.There I said it.So I don't listen to metal.But, Francis Bacon is certainly the most demented artist to walk the planet,which I believe leaves me room to listen to "techno".

Wow,May christmas to you all.have a very may christmas.
I'm so excited this satureday is Latino night for the dance class,they invite whoever they want and the teacher phoned us and invited us and we get to go latin dance!and just yesterday I'd been missing my dancing so bad and regretting not taking the class again.I'm so excited.
Hey I've had my first excperience with faiting now.Let me tell you I don't plan on doing it without others nearby because I woke up with all sorts of pain on my head.it felt as though someone had dumped a bucket of baseballs on my head.I did it right in front of my bed but when I woke up I was staring into the face of the little statuette and the foot of my bed,so it appears my entire body landed on the bed and my head landed on the little guys head.
bizarre.I've tried many times to faint because I've always wanted to know what it's like,so I finally found the magic formula.I lie down on me bed with my head hanging over the edge (upside down) then I hyperventilate for a minute,stand up take a deep breathe and down I go.It's bizarre the whole time I was out I was wondering why it didn't work then when I came to,it's like what the heck am I doing here and why does my head feel pummeled?Well,now that I've tried I don't think it's quite enjoyable enough to warrant it becoming an early morning tradition.

okay,okay,I just ran across one of the funniest websites I have ever seen.I don't want to raise your hopes too much because you may not get the humour.
The websites address is www.mirskt.com
the opening page is extremly uncomfortable and after that you enter the mirsk t-shirt store. from there you can go crazy looking at all of the available shirts.It just makes me giddy.I don't know how to explain this website just visit it and i'm sure you can't keep a straight face.

I don't know how infamous absurd.org is.but it should be well-known.it'll bust your brain.make sure to visit the "In site" not the "out site" the in site leads to the absurd.

Why did the Terah people stay on this side of the river?
There were endless fields of suffering humans over there.
The Terah instead spent their days soaring through the clouds,
visiting with ____,and picking fruit for the daily feast.
____,heard the suffering ones screams.
He ached to revive them,but he was born a ground dweller.
He was the only one of his kind,and he was loved by the Terah.
But they knew not how to help him.
____ wished to command the Terah,to tell them to cross the water,
but he was weak of spirit and dared not offend them.
So he'd stand on the wall and pray for the dying masses.
Someday the gift of flight would be given to him,
and he'd leave his guilt at the river.
(see illustration at my fotopage)
I'm sitting here listening to "Richard D. James album:Aphex Twin" which is,despite it's grotesque cover art,quite serene.I should be working on a poster for the art gellery.Dad loved my "Kid for today" picture and wants me to put together a poster,and I'm stalling right now.
