Dreamscapes, arts n crafts and the mess on my living room floor...

Good morning, good morning and here we face another fine Sunday morning..(ok its afternoon now..WHATever!!) I'm in the midst of trying 2 change my life...(yet again) and thought I'd make myself a dreamscape..something I havent done since my primary school days and who knows? maybe this 1 wont end up scrunched up n thrown in the bin by my well meaning yet un sympathetic mother. (all paper is mess...therefore all dreamscapes are 'in the bin,' so you can't find it when you come back from  school 1 day LOL) Anyway I'm not sure if you are all as messy as me when undertaking art projects but my living room floor literally looks like a giant has upchucked paper, pencils, glue and pencil sharpenings all over my (ahem) lovely? floral carpet. So I thought I'd better finish what Im doing as I have 2 work later tonight...and I dont have a proper day off for a fair while to clean it. Whilst we're on the subject.has anyone else ever leant on said artwork creation whilst glueing another piece down and somehow glued their ELBOW to the piece??I achieved that last night..I'm not sure exactly how..but yup! I did. (I'm not very proud of myself there haha) Anywayz..a dreamscape is kinda..just something you make that is full of all your thoughts, inspirations, goals and things that make u happy when you look at them. I guess mine is kinda an assortment of different images of places I want to visit (or return to), people who inspire me, goals I have and just random things that represent things that are personal to me that put a happy smile on my face..even though someone else might be confused when they look at it..basically anything that motivates me to live my life the way  I WANT TO cuz as everyone knows its all too easy to just 'coast along' in life and not accomplish anything. Anywayz..thats it from me 4 now..(more babbling I guess haha) who knows? ..maybe you can make your own dreamscape/collage and send me pix..that would be awesome!! remember to make it yours and yours alone that way you'll be personally inspired to make the best life of your short time here on this earth every day!! Have an awesome day...happy creating!!

ps: some eggos n bacon 4 your sunday morn/noon brunch!! (and yes it IS supposed  to look kinda like a deranged muppet..ALWAYZ play with your food!! xoxox

tryin to find my 6 pack (or my apperent lack of a 6 pack...)

hey..bored  n obviously have way 2 much time on my hands again..so I blog some more..Ive kinda been slack lately..ok 4 the last 3 yrs ive been HOPELESSLY LAZY haha (ok, ok u twisted my arm) and whilst i used 2 have a figure worth showin off in cute clothes and bathing suits i now have a figure worth hiding under huge coats and oversized baggy tshirts..not the only issue tho..i also drag my feet when i walk (i have no car so thats EVERYWHERE) and i used 2 jog everywhere wheras now i kinda just plod along and scarier still, i get heart palpitations, start sweating and feel like im generally about to have a heart attack after walking up 2 steps on a flight of 50..sooo long story short..somethings gotta give..I started workin out again recently but still have a strange obsession with  eating sugar on everything with everything, which ive never really had b4 because i generally like 2 eat healthy foods soo..this week ive really tried to 'kick my royal butt' as it were n have been workin out like i used 2 and eating a lot of this wonderful green stuff they like to call 'salad'. I have to say I feel a thousand percent better and RAN up a flight of stairs yesterday and didnt feel so much like dying (out of breath yes, but not hyperventilating as per usual so, MUCH better) I think sometimes its easy to kinda get stuck in a routine/habit and just sit in front of the tv and watch martial arts films and biggest loser style tv shows marvelling at how good they look/hard they work out, whilst munchin on a ginormous bag of potato chips, flicking stations with the remote control..ORRR sat at my pc for 3.5 hrs playin the sims 3 neglecting my housework and or healthy meals n workouts...sometimes u feel kinda like u r stuck in 1 spot and feel too lazy/set in your ways to move on. Wanting a better more fulfilled life but lacking the motivation to actually do something about it...but as in the words of the immortal Bruce Lee

"If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them."   so with that in mind i keep pushin everyday trying to push past that giant wall of comfort that makes us settle into a form of life that whilst comfortable, it makes us regress into nothingness..u cant be someone if u dont move and take action..just like u cant accomplish something unless u get off of your butt n do something positive about it...and if u hit that mark, that goal weight, that mark u set for yourself that u worked so hard to achieve..MAKE A NEW ONE at an even higher level then, and only then will u start to see how you can truly spread your wings and fly... anywayz..Id better get to my workout now..have an awesome day/noon/nite wherever u r and work towards makin your dreams come true no matter how small or large they are :D

Lava lamps....computer illiteracy and something new and SHINY!!!

How u all doin??? well..i've been kinda/sorta busy.Had a lame ass attempt at posting my first you tube video..its really dodgy but im just figuring out how 2 work everything...and apparently...(or so my computer tells me...) Im kinda bad/impatient at waiting 4 things to load and or editing etc so im kinda gonna have to work on that haha...Let me tell ya, my butt hurts from sittin so long I have no idea how ppl who work in an office can sit all day long..i really honest to gosh have no idea...bizarre, i work in retail/stand all day and let me tell u all..i prefer standing!! (Much respect to those who r forced to sit all day..I salute u!!) Anyhoo..so other than that I started a twitter account altho its kinda weird..im a babbler by nature and only 140 characters?? hmmmm well i guess I can spew the rest of my random word vomit here so can't be that bad...i guess LOL...SORRY!! ( a pre-emptive apology cuz 4 real..i truly can talk the ears off of a donkey...) I also wanted to show u all somethin I bought today that i totally LOOOOOOVE...See, I'm ADDICTED to lava lamps..have alwayz had at least 1 if not way more than that in my house SOMEwheres (and have also retained the carcasses of many a random lava lamp gone by)  and today a little sparkly pink glittery thing caught my eye (and those who know me best know I can't resist sparkles/glitter and or leapord print) and at 10 bux (and me being so broke) I just KNEW it had to be mine (oh yessss....it WOULD be mine..)and so I snuck it into my weekly budget of ohhhh..i dunno, food/bills/toilet paper..u know the deal..and so here it is..my first cute lil sparkly pink/purply glittery lamp...sooooo thats all there is to report for now..ill be posting soon (hopefully haha) my next vid of my finished paintings and have sorta been workin on some of my guitar stuff...altho thats sorta hard at the moment cuz i somehow cracked the neck of my guitar *heavy sigh* and i have 2 be even more creative when composing as I have to avoid certain frets etc..but I guess that just makes it even more creative/fun than normal right?? (so cant wait to be able to get a new 1 but have 2 save a bit longer..and Im soooo sad to lose this guitar as its awesome..or at least was..)so anyhoo..thats it 4 now..enjoy the pix of Sparkles my new lamp (yeah..im a namer of random and inanimate objects...sorry!!) and have an awesome day wherever u r..I leave u all with a great quote thats also somewhat disturbing....

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. ...  so good morn/noon/nite whereva u r in this great planet of ours n remember..only u can make your dreams come true..live life by living your dreams every second u get!! xoxoxo

Ps: I LOOOOVE that BIG is playin on my tv in this pic HAHAHA 4got about that!! who doesnt love Tom Hanks in BIG???

My Guitars BAAAACK!! (and the evil, secret life of the ukelele)

ok...so this might not excite any1 else but it sure as hell excites me!! My guitar has been 'sick' for past couple of months n ive had to resort to playing a ukelele (yes) due to the guitar withdrawal i experienced so im ecstatic that I can play again now that its fixed!! (altho after a couple months Im finding ive halfway 4gotten how to play lol..gotta brush up on some of my songs/memory) sooo hopefully Ill FINALLY get around to recording n posting some of my stuff eventually..(i know, I know i keep sayin that but all my excuses r valid!!..I SWEAR!!) I hope u guys like my stuff once u hear it..altho its kinda scary to post..but this whole bloggin thing is kinda scary so..pfffft I'll get over it haha..in case u wanna know how bad my guitar withdrawal got??..It got sooo bad I started playin this lil toy ukelele i randomly got at some fair JUST TO FEEL THE METAL STRINGS ON MY FINGERS..unfortunetly..the ukelele had vinyl strings n 1 snapped n quite almost poked out my eyeball...even now im cursing the ukelele (and covering the huge red welt with makeup so no1 thinks im being bashed etc)...but is ok once realising u cant ACTUALL...Y 'rock out' with a hot pink  hibiscus covered ukelele on any level..just another1 of my 'DUH!' moments. but man...who woulda thought that a hot pink ukelele with yellow handpainted hibiscus flowers could turn out to be such a dangerous weapon..I should hang on to it in case of intruders..theyll never know wat hit em...KAPOW!!! ill just aim a random ukelele string at their unsuspecting eye...anywayz..woah I tend to ramble off subject a lot huh? such a scatterbrain..oh well..So ill be headin off to watch me a movie...hope u all had an awesome day filled with much awesomeness...heres a pic of my guitar..its an epi les paul Zakk Wylde (no I cant afford a gibson...YET) and yes it sounds AWESOME (when its not broken :/) tell me if u had any moments of evil attacking musical instruments..itd be nice to know Im not the only one...LOL so..yeh..Peace out y'all..till the next time!!! :)

New Blog...The randomness that is me..

Well...how r u all doin'? Im kinda new to the whole blogging experience but everyone keeps tellin me to try it so here goes I guess...So a lotta people have some sorta theme/agenda with their blogs i notice...weeeelll.. i don't, I'm way too erratic for that so you're all just gonna have to keep checkin in to see what new and fantastical craziness im up to each day...A little about myself..other than the general lunacy/craziness I'm sorta/kinda just a weird artist/hippie/metalhead weirdo who plays guitar, dances around a lot and generally listens to a lotta what is normally termed 'bad' music..Im an avid collecter of all things weird i.e I have  crazy animal slippers and carebears collections...ahem, yes...sad but true and have an insatiable thirst for shoes...(hmm i should post some pics of em..) I studied makeup artistry and hairdressing (altho found i liked using my skills on my friends and myself rather than models/mean girls etc) and am practising my guitar skills 4 wannabe world domination someday..jokes...altho maybe someday I can play somewheres cool :) Mostly I just wanna spread a lil positivity to an otherwise negative world and hope if u are feelin down u can read one of my posts n it'll at least make u smile..I'm a total klutz, I'll warn u about that now altho I'm sure at some point it'll become blatantly obvious...for example..I was makin a cup of coffee earlier and , of course, doin what I term the 'Lionel Richie strut' when I slipped, turned my ankle, somehow spun sideways (kinda like a Michael Jackson spin or at least my semi conscious take on it) slammed full force into my living room door and fell awkwardly onto my spine thus spilling coffee all down the front of my shirt and into my hair...(funny never happened to any of said musicians) I would LOVE to say this rarely happens but no, get used to it..hahah so after CAREFULLY making another cup all whilst making sure I didnt get into the '80's dance spirit' again i hobbled back into the living room, sat down and realised it was the SECOND time I had poured coffee down my shirt this week due to 'bad' dancing, altho at least it only got into my hair this once..So maybe i should quit dancing? but that would be no fun..plus its hard 2 embarrass ur friends/who ever u r with if u don't have mad dancin skills like mine (think Steve Urkel dance crossed with random flailing arms n leg motions narrowly in the off beat to strange/bizarre 1 hit wonder songs no ones ever heard of..) *heavy sigh* maybe i should get lessons but im pretty sure its more fun this way....LMAO..weeelll ok well ive pretty much shamed myself out enough lol...I promise it'll get way more interesting than this but literally I had no idea WHAT to post 4 my first bloggy thing, plus I'm kinda just experimenting with fonts/etc plus its not like any1 is actually reading this yet HAHAHA soooo Ima head off to finish 1 of my paintings..n maybe i'll post a pic of that 4 u tomorro...in the meantime, stay cool and (my motto in life) be the best u that u can be, a true induvidual not bound by others misconceptions of u...originality is key!! :)..well..peace out!! ps: let me know if u have any strange/bizarre toy/whateva collections...
