Bartered Time.
Journal Entry: Tue Apr 8, 2008, 2:30 AM
A simple life is nothing Id barter my time for. I prefer the complexities that life, and its experiences can offer. I strive to learn, to grow. Thrive on change, recognize inevitabilities for what they are, accept the facts that there are no certainties here. None. Self progression is key. In this world of give and take, what will you give and take?
We innately decide on a daily basis what to bring upon ourselves, what to allow into our lives; consciously, or to a lesser extent for those unaware of their actions and the assured consequences. As individuals we are in control of the course of our lives, despite our authorities, influences, or responsibilities, as previously mentioned elsewhere. We are permissive or disinclined. We lead, or we are lead. We choose the paths were on, but a significant percentage of us refuse to hold responsibility for ourselves. Vanity is a blinding shadow, jealousy and greed left in its wake.
Judgment is an aforementioned inevitability. Im not speaking of the conceited judgments grown from insecurities, from societal conditioning, or conformities, though to an extent they are related. Im speaking of the necessary ability to make the judgments required for said decisions. Im speaking of our individual capabilities to remain faithful to a cause, true to a belief, true to ourselves. Considering the vast amount of change that we encounter with every day, how true have you remained to yourself?
Life is full of evils, which will you choose? Can you weigh them with any significance, or are you just another dormant soul lost to the decay of lifes trivialities? Another docile pawn lost of your own ignorance, steady in a line of credulity, wilting among the invariable misfortune that is this plague of incapacity?
Nothing in life is perfect, and was it so, Id loathe its berth into my consciousness. I find that character resides within flaw, but just as beauty, its left to the eye of the beholder. Were all flawed. Are you such the epitome of ostentation that youve failed to recognize this blatantly lineal, human trait? Open your eyes or lie complacent, and should that be your choice, be thankful that some have the tolerance and leniency that can grant you such an unflattering existence.
Time is precious, what have you done, and what will you do with yours?
- Mood:
Amused - Listening to: "Deconstruction," by ShiverSkin.
- Reading: Through the lines.
- Watching: The gradual division at hand.
- Playing: Into an apathetic mood.
- Eating: Everything with a grain of salt.
- Drinking: In my self rediscovery.

Visit our website: Reincarnations - Painted Furniture & Other Artistic Creations ([link])
I can't imagine leaving it, however. I enjoy the atmosphere, and I love viewing both the works of those I watch, and those I find while browsing. It's invaluable to have a site like this available, something that so consistently appeals to my inner artist. A place where I can share, and learn, and grow. I'd lose a piece of myself were it not for the opportunity to thrive in an artistic environment. Stifled, incomplete. Much as I did before I came here, in fact...
Alas, here's to finding some peace and rejoining the likes of which I used to hold here.
Thank you SO MUCH for the Fav on my fractal work "mind the alien" [link] !
Have a GREAT day =] !

When you think you've tried every road
Every avenue
Take one more look
At what you found old
And in it you'll find something new...
I'll surely try to brainstorm something that meets the criteria.
PS - Be thinking about a centrally located somewhat affordable cool place for the first annual Sisters in Ink convention! We'll think about costs, dates and other details after we know WHERE.
(Glad to hear you're still panting!
I hail from northern California, as in very near the Oregon border. Three hours NW of Redding, and three-ish hours south of the Oregon border. Where's everyone else located?
Woo! What an exciting idea! I feel so lucky to be included in this!
Spidey Geek and I have been daydreaming about finding a way for the Sisters in Ink to meet in person. That would be me, her, you and Penfury. We don't know where, we don't know when, we don't know how, but we do know it would be fun. What part of the country do you hail from? What's your reaction to the idea?
