Shared Wisdom of the Frail

Tue Feb 1, 2005, 7:47 PM
Questioning our individual artistic abilities led some of us into confusion and into the open arms of the Deviant Art website. Or is it lack of attention?
Driving home for college each day, I pass a Chrisitian church establishment. "Do You Know Your Purpose?", the sign declares knowlingly. No, I do not. Won't you enlighten me?
Artistic Opinion
I have always thought of art teachers...What is it with Betty Edwards? What makes a person an Artist? Art classes taught me nothing. Art books taught me nothing. Nothing compared to what I learned from experience. They talk about proportion, they talk about composition, they talk about technique. But there is one single truth I will share with you ~ non of that matters. The only important aspect that must be considered in Art is moving your hand on the surface of the paper. That is all
Life Situations
"You are very unusual."
What? I was startled. He didn't say "seem" or "look", he said "are", like he knew me.
"I get that alot", I reply like an idiot, proccessing in my mind who the hell this guy is, do I know him, and if I do, it would be rude to introduce myself, and why should I anyway, and why is he talking to me?
Unusual. Unusual is an unusual word in itself, so that must mean he was also proccessing other words in his head like "weird" or "strange", and those are way too forward.
Maybe he was just another comrade, but the obvious trace of thought in him made me think about O'Brian, and how he measures up.

"Are you in my class?", a cheap attempt to be casual on my part, I know, but my reaction is not as fast as I fancied.
"No, this is the first time I seen you. First impression, your energy, I guess."
Ahahaha, my aura, I thought, an immidiate, natural reaction of sarcasm.

"What's your name?", the best small talk I could think of.
"Ëugene, what's yours?"
"Paulina", I pull out my hand to shake his, an exellent notion, might I add. He repeats it.

Lyrics of the Day
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings
I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earth-bound misfit, I.
Pink Floyd,
Learning To Fly.

Our Purpose?

hahaha - I dont know yours....I am too busy looking for mine!

but be well - know that if you are looking - you will find it....it is those who dont care who dont have one....

as to the rest, including the floyd lyrics, it is your head, and as long as you are ok with it, tell the rest they are unusual...

be well metatetron

a deep, thoughtful journal entry... we usually don't get that a lot around here (DA)
:iconproctorxylex:
nice journal entry. I think signs with messages, in paticular, churches, should not be allowed. I used to drive by a church every morning on my way to work, i was so offended every morning. i felt as if i was having religion force fed to me. But the church that had the craziest thing on it, was a church about 3 to 4 miles from my house, and the sign said " This church is against gay marrriages ". That was probably one of the most offensive things i've ever seen in public, and i'm not even gay. sorry, didnt mean to go on a ramblin'
:)
still going into the military?

Thanks, Proxy.
I have a funny story about offensive church signs...a couple of years ago my friend and I volunteered to arrange the letters on those signs (somebody has to do it). We wrote things like "Worship Cock" instead of "Woship God", ect., it was hilarious! Needles to say, we never volunteered for the same church twice.
And yeppers, still going into the military. The process slowed down a little, since my pulse is extra high (120), so I have to get that fixed before I can actually take the oath.

:hump: Where have you been? How are you?

You don't know my purpose in life? Hm, I'm not even surprised.

Right back at ya, mate, be well, and thank you :)

Well, well....we've got a quick one...
"Your energy" he's right about that. THere's an energy in you that makes one laugh and cry at the same time, feeling extremely exasperated and attentive at once...
I'm telling you though, there's something about strangers...they come up with the best things to say in the beginning, and then, they have nothing to say in the end

higher expectations then they needed to have , i hope.

Just thinking now about those....what were they called...
Jesuits? Or something like that?they'd come every saturday and sunday at 8 in the morning when the whole house was asleep but i was awake watching television shows i wasn't allowed to be watching
and if it was ever just ME
i'd open the door everytime and take that book that book they'd give me each time, andeverytime i'd just nod and answer a whole bucket of lies and i always gave them the benefit of a doubt of a doubt that they might maybe just might have some sense of displacement like the rest of the world.

and secondly....they have a religion, i don't...i respected that...
but i was like, i had a brother who once woke up and opened the door on them and after threatening to call the cops on their god, they never came back...
:(
:icondeaconblues:
Ahhh, The Book.....It's one of my hobbies actually. If and when I get to spend a night in a hotel/motel, I always take that bible book they have in one of the drawers, it's a secretive creepy thing I do, but it makes me feel a certain way which I can't really explain.

You are right, we never spoke again. I saw him in the library with a pretty, fancy girl, one of those short ones with yellow hairs. I felt alone suddenly, but not only for 2 seconds it was. But there is always nothing to say in the end, isn't there?
