Winter

Posted on 9:58 AM, under cheeks, cold, lips, shiver, snow, white, winter

It's frigid outside, there's no arguing with that.
I have tried to bundle up,
but that doesn't prevent me from the cold shivers.
I can feel jack frost nibbling at my toes,
taking it in inch by inch till I forget they are even there.
People are staring at the ground to prevent temporary blindness from the snow;
covering their cheeks and chapped lips.
I can see them counting the seconds till they get inside;
till they can thaw off and breath once again.
It's frigid outside, I believe we can all argue that.

Sweat Drops on my Forehead

Posted on 12:26 PM, under

This mesage is to the hottest day of the year, July 22nd from yours truly. I sure hope you are listening. I am burning up in here. I'm sweating to the point that my forehead can start leasing itself out as waterfront property... Starting price 24 a month...

Can you give a brother a break. It doesn't help that you caught me on a work day either. I am stuck sitting in a truck; breathing the stale air of a 7 ft. ceiling and a 2 1/2 ft. hallway. You have left me yearning for air conditioning and a BIG GULP in my left hand. So, once again, can we take a rain check and come back next time I'm at the beach?

Sincerely,
Abstract Greene

One day we will laugh.

We will enjoy each others company.

We will walk the shores and see that life couldn't get any better.

We will give our salutations to the sun and it's bitter goodbye as it falls under the stars.

We will make faces at it with only silhouettes of our bodies screened across the horizon,

and all that will be left is you and I and the sound of the waves.

Euphoria

Posted on 6:14 AM, under Aaron, Bliss, crazy, Liberal, love, moments, Seaturtle

I've been sitting back trying to find a moment of bliss.
A moment where pain is three shots, a blank and a miss.
Many times I laugh but it ceases to phase me.
I'm not sure if my mind is telling me I'm crazy.

I want to find a place that I can sit and feel normal;
where things like taking off your shoes is considered formal.
where making faces at authority is quite typical,
and watching people fall down stairs is hysterical.
Yeah, it sounds quite liberal,
but don't we all have a little voice in us that is somewhat vocal?

It is a voice that screams every time you want it to whisper.

And hell no, it sounds nothing like a short spoken lisper.

It is a voice that yells with perfect, bold pronunciation;

demanding you to find that awe sensation,

that bliss that you were looking for right from the start,

but that bliss can only come from one person...

The one that holds your heart.

----------------------------

At times though this one can be hard to get,

but that is no reason you need to work up a sweat.

Although it feels like you're constantly jumping that hurdle,

remember that they will always be your little seaturtle...

Bigger and Better things

Posted on 2:05 PM, under Abstract, art, graphic design, inspiration, website

I don't know where to go with this blog anymore. I want to continue with it, but how long will it take till my words dry out and wind carries me on to just another interest on the web? All I am doing is taking one more address that someone may want in the future. How big is the Internet. It seems as though it may never end. Day after day, there is something new on it. Websites are being created by the dozens and content is being slapped as though it is one step up from the everyday publication.

I have had some inspiration lately. Maybe it's the fact, that my two dimensional art is boring me and I want to continue it but move up a step on the creativity level, or it's the idea that I grow tired with one thing and slide on to the next like I tend to do with my mind. I want to actually create my own website where I can express myself away from the daily blog everyone always sees. To be honest, do I want a blog where you hear me or do I want a website where you can see me. Does that make sense?

With this website, it would flourish with my art, it will bleed what I see everyday, it will scream "Abstract!" It will be a sanctuary where those who want, can sway to the ambiance created by the layout I present. I can dream, but can I create? We will see...

Chin High

I'm chasing dreams and I enjoy every minute of it.

I am playing games with what if's and I'm roll'n deep,

chin high and shoulders tight.

Life has treated me well.

Lets get out of this town and make history.

Years may pass and people could start talking,

but we know our journey and we will continue

chin high and eyes in flight.

Let that inspiration swell.

There is so much out there that we could miss.

There is so much out there that we could learn.

Brief Pause in Life

Posted on 11:27 AM, under art, awakening, inspiration

Can we talk?

Can we catch up with what we have missed? Can we create a bond that can grow and flourish? I have a feeling like there are so many stories I have yet to hear. There is inspiration at every corner, yet I have walked the hallways blind and covered my face on each ninety degrees of motivation. I feel as though my inspiration has taken a fall for time and while I just create illustrations without that drive to know what I really want, I lack the choice to stop. It isn't that my art suffers, but I suffer with the knowledge that I can create something better. I want to create a piece that can reach in to someone's chest and touch that beating thing we call a heart. I want my art not only shock the observer, but make them question who they are as a human being. Art will always be my life and to give that up in a moment of creativity block would be like kicking a leg that is already broken; it is already weakened, it is already breathless, it is already pushing up daisies. I need some awakening.

13 Percent

Posted on 3:56 PM, under embrace, Flavia Weedn, fort wayne, friends, moments

I have a friend that will be leaving in a week.
I will miss her dearly.

Whether it was talking about how we lived so close back home, yet we never did anything there together or sitting back and watching a movie while accidentally burning popcorn twice in a row (that would be my doing),
I will miss her dearly.

Whether it was moments where we would not see each other for long periods of time and talk on the side or moments of looking at each other face to face and not saying a word,
I will miss her dearly.

I wish I spent more time with her as a friend, but that time has come and gone. Embrace those who are in your life, for they may be gone in a blink of an eye. The sad part about it is that you will not realize how much you will miss them until they are already gone, so take every opportunity given to show them how much you care for them.

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts.
And we are never, ever the same." - Flavia Weedn
