*happy thoughts*

this post is inspired by and dedicated to this post: "sometimes sad, sometimes glad"

tokidoki's messenger style bag reminded me of all the 80's cartoons i used to watch. sigh. i miss those simple, worry free days.

"The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night. But her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea..."

she-ra, princess of power's horse has an alter ego too: spirit (horse)/ swiftwind (unicorn)!!

escapism

^ sometimes it's easier to hide behind a mask and paint your own world as you see fit..

i'd stumbled upon an artist from etsy.com, who resides in oregon. she draws, paints, and scribbles the most whimsical and beautifully unusual portraits. her paintings are easy enough for your own imagination to take flight within seconds of staring at her work.

below are only a handful of some of my favorite works from her. when time allows, i must share more. anyway, enjoy her paintings. i can't stop admiring it. soon enough, my walls will be covered with her work!

my thoughts are below each painting, i'm sure you will have a different perspective. it's what makes art so beautiful: the difference in how one interprets the story behind the brush.

^ tribute to can't let go of our true dreams, despite how far out of reach they seem.

^ little girl of knowledge..

my interpretation: ^tribute to social isolation

my interpretation: ^ sometimes the little critter is the most trusted friend.

my interpretation: ^ tribute to retreating from unpleasant realities through diversion & fantasy lala land..
(in this case books & sailing via black swan??) haahaah

my interpretation: ^ my lines of communication are always open..

Get Outta My Head!

so, a friend of mine (hi d!) & i have been going through some similar BS w/alot of our female (and sometimes for me: male) relatives. needless to say, it's a major pain in our hineys to have to deal with. but we deal..and go on..and keep movin' on. and like our friend *s* says, "we need evil relatives like that to keep things into perspective.." haaha! ita. :D

LYRICS


"Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya Ya Ya)"
(What?) Is that all you got to say?
(What? What?) You're rubbin' me the wrong way
(See your lips moving) But I don't catch a word you say
(Shut up your chatter) I need for you to go away
(Ugh)

And all I hear is ay ya ya ya ya
You're talkin' way too much
I can't even hear me now
All your noise is messing with my head
You're in my head
Get outta my head

Outta my, outta my head
Want you outta my head
Outta my, outta my head
Get outta my head
Outta my, outta my head
Want you outta my head
Outta my, outta my head
That's what I said

(What?) You looking at me for (huh?)
(Show me) Respect or I will show you the door (Get out that door)
(Lately) I've got a problem with the way that you behave
(You're too much) And all your questions don't leave me no time for me, ha ha ha

And all I hear is ay ya ya ya ya
You're talkin' way too much
I can't even hear me now
All your noise is messin' with my head
You're in my head
Get outta my head

Outta my, outta my head
Want you outta my head
Outta my, outta my head
Get outta my head
Outta my, outta my head
Want you outta my head
Outta my, outta my head

And all I hear is ay ya ya ya ya
You're talkin' way too much
I can't even hear me now
All your noise is messinn' with my head
You're in my head
Get outta my head

All your opinions keep them to yourself
Just let me think so I can hear myself
Wouldn't it be nice if I could just go solo, take the day off?
I'd be alright if you would leave me to it, back the f*** off
Ay ya ya ya ya You're talking way too much
You tell me one more time how I should live
I swear I'll bite your head off
I am who I am and I can't be no one else
You got nothing left to say
Keep your comments to yourself
(Awww!)

Outta my, outta my head
Want you outta my head
Outta my, outta my head
Get outta my head
Outta my, outta my head
Want you outta my head
Outta my, outta my head

And all I hear is ay ya ya ya ya
You're talkin' way too much
I can't even hear me now
All your noise is messing with my head
You're in my head
Get outta my head

Outta my, outta my head
Want you outta my head
Get outta my head
Outta my, outta my head
Want you outta my head
Outta my, outta my head

And all I hear is ay ya ya ya ya
You're talkin' way too much
I can't even hear me now
All your noise is messing with my head
You're in my head
GET OUTTA MY HEAD!
