So fucking emo

If I could figure out how to get songs onto my blog, well this page would be playing New Order, The Radio Dept., The Magnetic Fields, or any vase variety of emo bands. I am currently OBSESSED with the Marie Antoinette Soundtrack. The movie is the best visual and evocative representation of youth and opulence and the music....uh, sweet Jesus the MUSIC!!! Here, see the list of tracks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Antoinette_(soundtrack)



You can find art everywhere. I love the numerous forms it takes. Life is art. All of these things are art:

Light
Fashion
Media
Literature
Music
Film
Color
Black and White
Shapes
People
Animals
Nature

Okay, okay the list goes on...I would like to have a hand in each and every one! I am doing my best to live a life of art, but not in a pompous way, no: In a visceral and karmic way. In both my creations and my interaction with living creatures and the elements, I strive for a life rich, drenched in the beauties of art.

I want to live a beautiful life. Life is beautiful. It creates, gives and takes: it remains constant (you think...) while you make your way, somehow, through the things that "trap" you, your mind, your wants, your traumas.



I am often caught in my trappings of childhood. I beat myself up because I feel I am an adult and should be able to "get on with it" as those with balanced, well-rounded lives (often the result of happy childhoods) are apt to say. I am not jealous of these people in any way, on the contrary, I like to have a nice mix of both crazy people and sane, well-rounded people around me. It keeps life interesting and gives you perspective....



I can't STOP thinking about this awesome exhibit I saw last night!!! Vivienne Westwood: 36 Years of Fashion! Uh, mon Dieu! C'etait absolumente magnifique!!! Putain! I want to be a fabulous fashion designer! I want to rip up, sew, ruche, drape, knit, crochet my way to heaven!!! I get so fucking inspired by art, I can hardly stand it! Thing is, as I referenced earlier, I

ART!!!!!!!!

Woo Hoo! Yay! Yippee! Art is great! Woo Hoo, I want to be fabulous! I want to make stuff!!! I don't want to buy my clothes--I want to make them. Fashion is fabulous. Regular clothes are boring! I want to expand my sense of shape and form. I want to make some crazy funky shit. I want to learn the trade...let's see if this lasts, let's see if I pursue this budding dream!!! Yeah, YOU CAN DO IT!
